Recliner decliner received. Got to break the news to the dog that he won't have his own recliner.Hmm

Go to the nearest M&S with a furniture section and stage a sit in in the fugly recliner. Though being from M&S, it would only have fallen apart anyway.

Guess I'll just sit on the floor.

Bastards.

Really wanted them in the end.

RiffyWammal · 09/01/2014 16:58

Bollocks. Recliner decliner email here too.

ManualSpaniel · 09/01/2014 16:59

I fear for the cakes.

nippysweetie82 · 09/01/2014 16:59

I just got my cancellation email Sad

Buzzardbird · 09/01/2014 17:02

I am going to take all their marshallow teacakes and sit on them instead.

TimeToPassGo · 09/01/2014 17:02

Declined here too. I'm actually really annoyed. I had grown quite attached to the idea of my very own recliner :(

A voucher would have been a nice gesture. I had two dresses in my online basket waiting to see what they would do. I shall now delete them in a sulk.

TimeToPassGo · 09/01/2014 17:03

I may punch a cake or ten myself. And I am not normally a cake puncher.

See what this has reduced me to!

paulapantsdown · 09/01/2014 17:04

Oh bum! Just got my recliner decliner email. I was actually really excited about me 50p chair.

Buzzardbird · 09/01/2014 17:05

I was excited about meeting Gavin :( The love that could have been...

YesAnastasia · 09/01/2014 17:05

I don't know what you're all bothered for, get yourselves down to the Sally Army place - they've got loads of shit like that, you'll love it.

I do like 'recliner decliner' :)

LittleMissGerardButlersMinion · 09/01/2014 17:05

Not a great day for them, I know noone expected it to be honored, but it will annoy people, and profits are down because of their shit clothing lines!

TimeToPassGo · 09/01/2014 17:05

Watch it, cakes of Marksies!

Recliner decliner her too! Shame, MIL was going to get a lovely gift too ??. Good job I hadn't said anything to her about it as I knew it would never arrive ??

Wingdingdong · 09/01/2014 17:07

I demand at least a leftover half-price revolving Christmas tree chocolate tin by way of compensation. The amount of time I have spent worrying over this order...the emotional upset...

NotQuiteWithItAtAll · 09/01/2014 17:08

Recliner declined here too. I was starting to get quite attached to it Sad

LittleThorinOakenshield · 09/01/2014 17:09

I've just emailed and asked for a voucher for my sick mum.

I HAVE NO SHAME.

bassetfeet · 09/01/2014 17:09

Watching Gumtree and e_bay with interest as chair is withdrawn . Hope Gavin isn't sacked though. Awful error but we are all capable of it for sure
Fun thread though .

ManualSpaniel · 09/01/2014 17:09

Don't sit on the mallows buzzard !!!!

I'd happily endorse punching the Percy pigs but not the mallows, or the Jaffa cakes.

CloserLook · 09/01/2014 17:12

I was more annoyed that they seemed to take all day to write such a joyless email. They could have at least had some fun with it and had some decent publicity.

Wanted my fugly recliners Sad
