Not one of you out there has no idea why or what i am going to do with my £800 order,So here seeing as you have all jumped the gun a bit i will tell you .. First some of the items will be sent to my childrens school for there xmas fair and seeing as we have 3 fairs to sort out about 30 items will be used up , yes some will be given as gifts to family and friends so another large amount used up and as for the few items i will have left they will be given to my local church (and no i am not a church goer) for the old and needy to have a bit of cheer, But as i can read some people think that i am in the wrong and should of thought of other people!!!!

Yeah and if you believe all that you 'll believe anything :rolleyes:

I think all of us who take advantage of glitches or obvious errors are greedy ,were stealing ,knowingly obtaining something we know we are not entitled to so I'm afraid I cant get all wound up about some being 'greedier' that others ,thats just silly tbh

That's your perogative, I don't think many on here will share the same view though...

WOW, £800 spent on schools/church/needy...............Im just envious I cant afford to spend that amount on other people at this time of year (or anytime of the year lol!)

Mines changed to despatching soon and the cancel button has gone, will be so pleased if I get my items.

Listen you whingers, at this time of year many big employers are bulk buying items like these alcohol sets for their employees, spending hundreds of pounds at a time so it's not just the size of the orders that set the alarm bells ringing but it's also the volume of buyers suddenly bombarding the system at silly o'clock in the morning. So every one of us who placed an order contributed to the alarm bells ringing and the glitch being shut down.

It's also none of anyone's business who or what people have made their purchases for.

Oh and if you were wondering, I didn't manage to make full advantage of the glitch and codes, but I did manage to make two small orders totalling just over £27, am I bitter? am I heck....I'll be over the moon if my orders arrive and M&S will have had me spending £27 more with them than I did this time last year.

I hope everyone gets their orders big and small.

It's still possible to get orders with 60% off and free delivery (with codes) as the items come back into stock, so there are still bargains to be had.

Merry Christmas!

Mine too and it had a bottle of festive fizz in there - I wasn't holding my breath as I was lucky enough to get in on the Tess Daly/Ingredients glitch last week and didn't think that I'd get lucky twice!

I think most of us would have good homes to give things to. I can easily come up with 11 people/places that I would like to help out and that's just off the top of my head right now. It's nice to want to help others but I do think it's taking the mick to put in a big enough order to cover the lot. A school fair will not miss an extra gift or two in the slightest but a family who is strapped for cash as it is, would. Orders like yours (and the big ones from Hot Deals) could easily be the things that stuff it up for everyone.

That said, this is going to happen time and time again, it's human nature.....so I really don't know why I bothered writing this.

Maybe the next glitch will involve self help books. Might I suggest 'How To Make Friends', or 'Tact For Beginners'?

lol! :rotfl::rotfl:

I'll make a massive order of the first book and hand 'em out around here and possibly buy the second book for myself

But I don't really want those sourpusses as my friends anyway, they're hardly trying to be nice to the folks they're lambasting for placing large orders.
