Goofy, I will post a picture of Ma Tidy if it actually arrives. Can't wait for the inevitable "wtf?!" phonecall! I was tempted to order £10 worth but felt that might be overkill.... Grin

I have had a confirmation email!

I've got a conformation email too...I'm giggling like a naughty girl

I need to get out more...

hpsaucy · 08/01/2014 21:50

I just ordered 5!!!!!! Logged in to my m&s account and a promotion voucher was added to my basket so I paid nothing Blush

ButICantaloupe · 08/01/2014 21:50

Ordered two. DH thinks it ridiculous.

Can't wait for the email from M&S.

I do feel sorry for the person who marked them up incorrectly... I don't think they are going to have a good day at work tomorrow.

BopToTheTop · 08/01/2014 21:50

I have just ordered one and received my confirmation email :)

pigsinmud · 08/01/2014 21:50

On hukd is says deal removed as spam.

MandatoryMongoose · 08/01/2014 21:50

I'm so looking forward to my new chairs!

Cheesyslice · 08/01/2014 21:51

This has happened before. I ordered one, maybe two years ago, got confirmation email, payment taken etc and they withdrew it. They don't have to honour it, they won't and you won't get your chairs Sad

That said, it was on a different forum then...not sure M&S will take on MN Grin

Bigpants1 · 08/01/2014 21:51

We've just ordered a few, & the order has gone through & we have been sent a Confirmation e-mail! Yes, they r fugly, but I'm hoping its true, that fugly is only skin-deep. Now we'll see what happens...

LittleMissGerardButlersMinion · 08/01/2014 21:51

The confirmation email doesn't mean anything, I've had orders cancelled before after the email, saying the order isn't available.

AnnoyedByAlfieBear · 08/01/2014 21:51

I've ordered one to be delivered to my Dad's house!

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 21:51

Tidy please do, i actually cannot stop laughing!

Crimebusterofthesea · 08/01/2014 21:52

When it happened with TV's there was a petition and they honoured the orders! Just read an article saying that the buyers used 'armchair legal arguments' and someone penned a song Grin

SavoyCabbage · 08/01/2014 21:52

When you scroll through the pictures there is a two seater as well.

All we need to do is start a petition and write a protest song :o

Here's my email.

pigsinmud · 08/01/2014 21:52

Oh well that's weird. Hukd now has 12 pages of comments, but for the last 10 minutes whenever I tried to refresh it said removed as spam.

IneedAwittierNickname · 08/01/2014 21:52

I can't order one, when I click add to basket my internet shuts down :(

Shame I wanted a new chair, and an ugly.one with a throw would be perfect!

TimeToPassGo · 08/01/2014 21:52

I'm actually quite attached to my hypothetical chair now :( I might have to get in touch with the Daily Fail so I can do the standard sad Fail face standing beside my non-reclining sofa :(

LittleNoona · 08/01/2014 21:52

Somebody draft a petition, just incase Grin

TheSitChewAceChien · 08/01/2014 21:53

I think it's just the fabric sample too.

Hope you all get your ugly chairs though Grin

scripsi · 08/01/2014 21:53

In the history of these mistakes have companies ever honoured them?

WelshWereRabbit · 08/01/2014 21:53

I have ordered and have my confirmation email. Couldn't resist at that price!
