Wonder if the Daily Fail will run a story on it Grin!

BEEwitched · 08/01/2014 21:44

I ordered one, too, took the chance while DH was out with the dog. I actually like it, it looks soooo comfy, and I can always put a huge throw over it.

elesbells · 08/01/2014 21:44

Brilliant....I've just ordered one for my nan....they better honour it Wink

Although I suspect they will sus by the sheer volume of orders of this not-so-pretty piece

GoldieBear · 08/01/2014 21:45

Desperate to order one but lost my bank card last week and waiting for another Hmm it'll be gone by the time I get it

LittleMissGerardButlersMinion · 08/01/2014 21:45

We need a chair smiley, come on MNHQ!

TheCrumpetQueen · 08/01/2014 21:45

I've ordered one! Will donate it to a charity furniture centre if it does come as its so ugly

DowntonTrout · 08/01/2014 21:45

The describe it as "rose" is that the colour or the pattern? Not that I care. I don't actually expect to receive them.

nippysweetie82 · 08/01/2014 21:45

I was just reading that M&S honoured the last big price glitch so fingers crossed!

twinkletoedelephant · 08/01/2014 21:45

It appears I have accidentally ordered 4 if they turn up which is highly doubtful I only wanted one but for 2 quid I couldn't be bothered to go back and change it :)

GideonKipper · 08/01/2014 21:45

Well I've ordered one; as the OP i felt duty bound (and I'm still thinking KERCHING!). Waiting for confirmation email - has anyone had one?

Didn't know about the HotDealsUK thread, are they snapping them up over there?

The hallmarks of a true MNer:

  • the MN scarf
  • the MN haircut
  • the MN recliner ......

Whoever's on nightshift at M&S HQ must be cacking themselves!

Lottiedoubtie · 08/01/2014 21:47

Yes I've got a confirmation email.

CinnamonPorridge · 08/01/2014 21:47

what
if we all get those chairs, you have just spotted a business opportunity.

But even if the fabric was nice, I think I'm about 20 years away from reclining chairs.

Gideon yep! Got my confirmation. It says - and I quote - "Grand total £0.50" :o

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 21:47

Still saying over 10 on stock! Quick order your fugly chair now!

DowntonTrout · 08/01/2014 21:47

I've had a confirmation email.

It says orders cannot be changed once payment is taken.

I presume that means I can't change the order but they can? Shame. I so didn't want one!

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 21:48

I have faceache from laughing!

I also have a confirmation email!

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 08/01/2014 21:48

Confirmation email received!

Juno77 · 08/01/2014 21:49

NotQuiteWithItAtAll · 08/01/2014 21:49
