I have just ordered one for my mum Grin

GideonKipper · 08/01/2014 21:35

Bloody hell, I'm such a fanny. Still not ordered one. They definitely can't take any more than 50p can they?

You know I have always wanted a recliner! No idea where I will put it but whap a throw over it and Bob's your uncle! :o

LittleThorinOakenshield · 08/01/2014 21:35

Equal value. Packet of Percy pigs then.

They are still up for me...

ChristmasCareeristBitchNigel · 08/01/2014 21:35

We just ordered 4. DH said "fuck it, why not". He is absolutely pissing himself with laughter

RedPencils · 08/01/2014 21:35

Their mobile site has gone down.

LittleThorinOakenshield · 08/01/2014 21:35

No quick, get in!

IMurderedStampyLongnose · 08/01/2014 21:35

I have ordered one too,doubt we will get them at that price.And I like the fabric,so there!

FyreFly · 08/01/2014 21:35

Ooh wait, my mistake I think the site had just crashed or something Blush

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 21:36

Still available, dear god they must have a warehouse full of ugly chairs.

youcantakethegirloutofwales · 08/01/2014 21:36

Testing the link for a laugh with DD (13). Oh bugger, the order went through! Where the chuff am I going to put this fugly thing? I agree with an earlier poster - if M&S honour the deal, our local charity shop will be happy bunnies!

Buzzardbird · 08/01/2014 21:36

Thank you for the few minutes excitement anyway Op :)

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 21:36

Oh ffs I just ordered two and i have tears of laughter, actually tonight on MN has been comedy gold and I really needed a good laugh!
Honestly, if they deliver them I will keep one in pride of place because i will laugh loudly every time ai look at it!

Ping... That is my confirmation email!

Lorelilee · 08/01/2014 21:36

One heading our way too... (or not, as the case may be) Grin

SpocksThirdEar · 08/01/2014 21:36

They probably are selling them at 50p because they're so fugly and no one would buy them otherwise. Grin

FatAssPantaloons · 08/01/2014 21:36

I ordered one and I hate it!

TimeToPassGo · 08/01/2014 21:36

Should have kept it just on here if it was lots of mums buying they might have honoured it but think they'll draw the line at school boys :o

Bloody hell, I panicked and order one! I'll donate it to some old folks home or summat!

TimeToPassGo · 08/01/2014 21:37

Actually DH reckons they are so fugly that M&S want rid of them, probably costing a shitload to store :o

JulietBravoJuliet · 08/01/2014 21:37

I've ordered one :) my dad actually really needs a new, comfy chair so I'm hoping this will do him for now, if indeed it turns up for that price!

scripsi · 08/01/2014 21:38

I've ordered, really hope they honour it as my neighbour's face would be priceless when I present him with a recliner!

DowntonTrout · 08/01/2014 21:38

Oh dear. I seem to have ordered two. It is worth spending a pound for the laugh.

ouryve · 08/01/2014 21:38

I'm amused that almost this exact same thread is happening on hotukdeals :o

Their furniture is made to order, so no way will they honour this!

Buzzardbird · 08/01/2014 21:38

I don't get that dumpy, surely the burglar would think she was out? Confused
