Oh god I've ordered two of them.

rallytog1 · 08/01/2014 21:30

Oops I've ordered two. Suspect they'll refund and withdraw to be honest but I love the idea of dh and me reclining in front of the tv Chandler and Joey stylee. Grin

Don't worry about your card being overcharged btw - they can only take the amount you authorised for a one-off transaction like this.

amistillsexy · 08/01/2014 21:30

It's not pretty, but DH has been wanting a recliner for years. It's his final slide into becoming Homer Simpson Grin

I've got mine on order. Free delivery as well! If they try to retract, I'm going to complain long and loud- I reckon they'll at least send a gift voucher (but I'm not getting those fugly shoes with it if they do Grin)

LittleThorinOakenshield · 08/01/2014 21:31

I've just ordered one. Man it's horrible.

LittleNoona · 08/01/2014 21:31

Isn't that just the fabric sample?

youarewinning · 08/01/2014 21:31

There's not £500 in my account Grin he'll! there ain't even fifty quid in there - and they can't debit the account for more than you've given permission for anyway!

BohemianGirl · 08/01/2014 21:31

oh dear god, son has tweeted it out. There are school boys across London buying these hand over fist and having them all delivered to school

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 08/01/2014 21:31

Just ordered 2 :)

TaffyandTeenyTaffy · 08/01/2014 21:31

Oooh I love a bargain - but delivery can take up to 5 weeks and as we are in the process of moving I don't think I can risk inflicting them on our lovely buyers!

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 21:32

Forgot to say thank you GideonKipper. If we all get our orders, that's great, and if we don't at least we've had a laugh!

RedPencils · 08/01/2014 21:32

I've got one in my basket but my registered credit card has expired and I can't be bothered going downstairs did my new one.

MarmaladeBatkins · 08/01/2014 21:32

Oooh I've bought one! I'll give it to the old folk's home down the road if I get it which I totally won't

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 08/01/2014 21:33

Oh I did it too, just for the craic. Dh and dc are in stitches. Just see headlines- bargain hunting mums bankrupt m and s.

FyreFly · 08/01/2014 21:33

Ahh poop I think they've taken it down. I was about to get 2 of those bad boys!

LittleThorinOakenshield · 08/01/2014 21:33

I'm resisting the urge to order 10.

LittleThorinOakenshield · 08/01/2014 21:34

Have they? Let's see what happens then!

It's minging but I bet it's lovely & comfy.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 08/01/2014 21:35

I've ordered one. Not quite sure why as it won't be sent! Just on the remote possibility they do honour the price I suppose!

I have throws ??.

youarewinning · 08/01/2014 21:35

Am actually PMSL at the though of an M&S delivery van pulling up outside a posh London Grammer and pulling 50 fugly recliners out the back Grin

Katz · 08/01/2014 21:35

Also couldn't resist, ordered one!

Juno77 · 08/01/2014 21:35

Sad we're not getting out chairs

Dumpylump · 08/01/2014 21:35

Well I bought one! My plan is to give it to mil. I couldn't phone her to check because she doesn't answer phone after 8pm in case of burglars Confused
