    Help! I ordered £42 worth of stuff, my order is still 'in progress' but today I've had £15 taken from my bank account by Matalan. Does this mean I'm only getting a couple of items on my order? Or might they take more later? Has anyone had this?

    When I was in store at Matalan yesterday afternoon they were collecting up a lot of the sale stuff on rails and wheeling it out to the stockroom, especially kids stuff. It was already 50% off so maybe they were reducing it further?
    Yesterday is today's memories, tomorrow is today's dreams :)

    Thanks. No e-mail yet either way, but I realised earlier that it might have been because I paid through Paypal and had some Paypal balance, so it probably took that and the the remainder from my account. I *think*! Fingers crossed I get everything I ordered still!

    I ordered Boxing Day morning, and my order is still 'in progress'.
    Is anyone else still waiting this long? :(

    ETA I just called their customer services line and a very helpful and nice lady was able to tell me my order is currently being packed and should be collected today and delivered on the 3rd :)
