Ooooh in my head Gavin just got a whip and rather attractive chin scar.

OhTheDrama · 08/01/2014 22:33

Grin Honeydragon

The funniest thing for me is my DH has had a total sense of humour fail about it. He's tutting and sighing at my wild shrieks of laughter!

GinSoakedMisery · 08/01/2014 22:34

Grin Honey!

HoneyDragon · 08/01/2014 22:34

Maybe your dh knows Gavin?

woodchipwallpaper · 08/01/2014 22:34

Arr man, cant believe I missed the 50p chairs!! Probably for the best, I seem to have some kind of illness that means I will buy anything that is cheap or reduced :) OH was not impressed that I came back from b&q not with the paint I went for, but a shed load of xmas decorations-the day after he put the ones we already have back in the loft! getting into our loft is like some kind on ninga mission Ive also brought about 7 tins of biscuits, a rucsack and 3 tubs of fresh cream today, just cos they were cheap! Oh, and pjyamas with Chelsea footballl club on, apparently I dont understand how football works- esp when he supports man u! :)

It's beige HoneyDragon? Sod that I thought it was pink, I'm cancelling my order! Grin

GideonKipper · 08/01/2014 22:34

ThereGoesBod - I haven't checked my emails yet. Ignorance is bliss. I just saw that another poster had received the decliner so thought they'd start filtering through to everyone else.

We'll need new baffies to go with the chair - maybe those little sheepskin booties with a Velcro strap that you see advertised in the back of the Sunday supplements. Perhaps with some nice thermals from the Damart catalogue and a smart pair of elasticated waist slacks from M&S of course.

OhTheDrama · 08/01/2014 22:35

I'm beginning to wonder honey, I'd best ask the poor sod.

Does anyone remember the saga of the £10 Concorde car seat at mothercare? whilst waiting for the inevitable rejection email, people were realising they better start getting pregnant to justify buying three of them. Others were car shopping to fit in six.

BrianTheMole · 08/01/2014 22:36

Damn, its not there anymore. I want to see it . Anyone got a picture of that fugly chair? Grin

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 22:36

Maybe if we all promise to buy baffies from M and S...

TheregoesBod · 08/01/2014 22:37

This could be the making of Warehouse Gavin though. He will have the story of The Great Recliner Rush to tell to warehouse apprentices in years to come.
"honestly, for weeks, all I could see when I closed my eyes were the roses- The Roses of Doom"

Aintnobodylovesnanbetter · 08/01/2014 22:37

Hoping it snows now cause i bet that chair would be great for sledging on Wink

Novia · 08/01/2014 22:38

A 50p chair?
A mistake to be fair.
But will M&S follow through?
It's ugly as hell
But looks comfy as well,
Refusal would cause a to-do!

Mumsnet is quite scary,
The situation's got hairy,
M&S are in rather a stew.
A recliner-decliner,
From this highstreet designer,
Will come any moment; it's true.

So let's write a song,
Doesn't have to be long,
And beg for our old-fashioned chair.
We've all ordered throws,
To cover the rose,
And will wail if they cancel; "not fair!"

MrsDeanAmbrose · 08/01/2014 22:38

well, close to it

NachoAddict · 08/01/2014 22:38

Oh great honeydragon I just shook the baby right off mu nipple giggling over Gavin! Grin

SantanaLopez · 08/01/2014 22:38

Prices are a mystery,
For a chair I'd call my throne,
I hear it call my name
And it feels like home...

Songbird · 08/01/2014 22:39

Holy crap that is fugly!

SantanaLopez · 08/01/2014 22:39

£799 Shock

799?

They should have kept it at 50p.
