Gideon apparently so bloody kids homework I missed it!

JakeBullet · 08/01/2014 22:18

yes, c'mon M&S, use this to your advantage..... loads of free publicity.

And I have a confirmation email , expecting them to decline it eventually though.

Tempted to change delivery address to the Hospice.

OhTheDrama · 08/01/2014 22:19

Oops strikeout fail!

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 08/01/2014 22:19

Imagine there's no chairs
It isn't hard to do
No crappy fabric
And no recliners too
Imagine all the people
Getting their emails
Oh oh ohh

Imagine there's no Richmond
And there's no mumsnet too
Nothing to give your card for
And no budgeting to do
Imagine there's no chairs left
What will we do?!

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 22:19

I have been thinking, this will be a total 'outer' won't it!

The mn scarf is not unique to MN, but this... Unless you are over about 75 this will out you!

ButICantaloupe · 08/01/2014 22:20

M&s are on their twitter account but haven't mentioned anything about the chairs.

I want my chair!!

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 08/01/2014 22:20

Just say it's from hot uk deals

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 22:20

Grin justmuddling that would be service!

vwgirl · 08/01/2014 22:20

I have put our local hospice address and would love to think that they would honour it but to be honest I think it will just a mass email sent to all orders without individuals delivery details being considered.

scripsi · 08/01/2014 22:21

I missed the sheffield cock Sad
as compensation m&s really should honour the order.

ChristmasCareeristBitchNigel · 08/01/2014 22:21

This is not just any Mumsnet thread..... This is an M&S Mumsnet thread...

TheLostPelvicFloorOfPoosh · 08/01/2014 22:22

Maybe M&S will send you a 50p cock instead?

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 22:22

Oh no! Have just realised that my Christmas baffies will clash awfully with my new recliner! Although I suspect most would clash with that material.

GideonKipper · 08/01/2014 22:23

Shock Grin The dirty dog. You see, I've been looking at bloody sofas and chairs too much over the past few days; I miss all the excitement - were they nice cabinets? Wink.

Grin youarewinning, BEE, OhTheDrama.

Yes, this is indeed not just any thread...it's an M&S thread. Sheer quality Grin

CinnamonPorridge · 08/01/2014 22:24

To the tune of silent night

Where is my chair?
That is not fair.

All I've done
is order one

Send it soon
I'll be over the moon

Even though it's so uh-ugly
For the dog it's so snuh-uh-ugly

GideonKipper · 08/01/2014 22:24

Christmas baffies? Do I need baffies?

DowntonTrout · 08/01/2014 22:25

Dear M&S

How could you decline
When I want to recline
On a chair all covered in "Rose"?

You've taken my money
I don't think it's funny
I really want one of those!

It may be all fugly
But I would be snugly
And comfortable, sat in my chair

Yes I laughed at the price
But I think it is nice.
Or is it just Buyer Beware?

Yours
Sad Faced Daily Mail Reader.

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 22:26

Just out of interest, will anyone own up to having Richmond Revillo upholstery fabric in their home already?

TheregoesBod · 08/01/2014 22:26

Gideon, have you had a recliner decliner email?

I've ordered two for DM. She is going to be bloody horrified delighted when they deliver to her door...

I have the confirmation email and am trying to be unrealistic optimistic!

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 22:26

Ha ha I need baffies... If they are 50p Grin

Buzzardbird · 08/01/2014 22:26

Can I say what the sheffieldman thread was about though without this thread getting yapped?

nippysweetie82 · 08/01/2014 22:26

Cinnamon, I just sang that to the tune of Wrecking ball.

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 22:27

GideonKipper baffies=slippers.

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 22:27

Grin downton!
