yeah...good idea...she will never know it was you...but seriously, I have saw some great stuff at the end of summer that the stores dont want to store over winter. We will keep our beady eyes out.

I ordered on the saturday night, I knew I should have ordered you one..........

katierocket · 02/08/2005 17:18

I should have said before but when I got called last night I was told they had 1000 orders and only 40 of them had been fulfilled . They just blamed it on the manufacturers which is just pathetic.

misdee · 02/08/2005 17:19

sparklymieow · 02/08/2005 17:22

thanks charliecat - hope you're right.

Sorry to hear everyone else is having probs - specially Misdee.

geogteach · 02/08/2005 19:19

Apparently I am number 185 waiting for a call back to confirm i'm not getting anything, so not expecting that call anytime soon. But I still got a card in the post confirming delivery for Thurs am, they don't even seem to have managed to tell the delivery company what is going on.

daisy1999 · 02/08/2005 19:32

b & q appear to have a business practice of taking orders (and often money) for items which they have no intention of supplying. How a large company like this gets away with it is beyond me.

misdee · 02/08/2005 20:02

well i am now getting tis one

little sister wouldnt sell me her one.

charliecat · 02/08/2005 20:37

thats really nice misdee, have you ordered it yet?

OP posts:
misdee · 02/08/2005 20:39

ordering in town tomorrow. mum is still searching online but that seems the best one atm

anchovies · 02/08/2005 20:43

I got a confirmed delivery slot but it didn't turn up. Don't think I'm getting one now. I'm not too disappointed though as I haven't even got a garden! Not sure why I ordered it in the first place, think I got caught up in all the excitement!

Xena · 02/08/2005 20:43

misdee · 02/08/2005 20:44
