Honeydragon, I have just read this entire thing and I have to say you are, actually, a genius Grin

elesbells · 09/01/2014 09:51

I've tweeted m&s to ask if they're going to honour it....I've linked them to this thread too...and warned them of the wrath of mumsnet Grin

I have checked my account and it says

All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
And enormous ugly bastard chair

Oh wouldn't it be lovely.

LittleThorinOakenshield · 09/01/2014 09:55

Maybe we should stop insulting this poor piece of furniture, if M&s are going to be reading!

Poor old chair.

HavantGuard · 09/01/2014 09:58

This fugly delightful chair will make my life complete.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 09/01/2014 09:58

That chair is horrific in the extreme, I'm amazed they can give them away!

TheCrumpetQueen · 09/01/2014 09:59

I tweeted too.

Maybe, just maybe, it looks slightly nicer in the flesh?

A phrase springs to mind.

A fool and their money are soon parted.

That'll be me then. All £1 of it.

Aintnobodylovesnanbetter · 09/01/2014 10:03

We were talking about extended our lounge
We'll need to now to fit the bloody chair in

Aintnobodylovesnanbetter · 09/01/2014 10:04

Extending

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 09/01/2014 10:04

I think the majority of chairs where people have bought 1 or 2 are being bought for genuine reasons whereas you have the feckless twits who bought dozens for profit.

Hopefully m&s will honor the small orders so charities can benefit

TimeToPassGo · 09/01/2014 10:06

Mine is still reading as will be dispatched by 13th Feb. I actually want my chair!

And YY to tossers ordering a hundred of them and then going har har I'm so smart all over the internet. I would really love it if M&S honoured at least one chair per customer. Seems fairer!

Grennie · 09/01/2014 10:07

Yes I think it would be reasonable of M and S not to honour the large amounts ordered. They are obviously bought for profit. But small amounts are not.

Buzzardbird · 09/01/2014 10:09

I will laugh at all the tossers that have already listed them on ebay having to pay their 40p listing fee and having no chair. Grin

JanuaryShoes · 09/01/2014 10:09

I want to see the chair! Why can't I see the chair? Having a vision of hideousness, is it really that bad???

LoveBeingCantThinkOfAName · 09/01/2014 10:11

My order says it cannot now be amended and clearly states 50p Grin

There's a pic of it scroll up.

I only ordered 1 so there was more chance of them honouring it

lollylaughs · 09/01/2014 10:12

Januaryshoes. Scroll up. There is a pic of "chugly".

If you're doing pages, it's on page twenty six.

Does anyone have a pic of the chair. The link isn't working.
