    Tallyho that is such a nice thought and very kind of you to offer. Seriously. We'll see how we get on with this Bissell thing first of all. But that was a really kind thought & I'm grateful for your consideration.

    But poor Maude the Hoover Constellation. I'll never quite be able to part with her. So many memories. When my bro tripped over her and banged his head on the mantelpiece (he still has the scar). Or when we had a student party and stuck a cushion on her and used her as emergency seating. When Brenda the late & long lamented cat hissed every time we switched it on. And when my own kids were toddlers and liked to play housey with Maude .

    As I'm writing this her power lead and plug is dangling out of the hall cupboard as if to remind me "please don't dispose of me ... i've still got some life left in me yet ..."

    You know, until I kinda hit my late 30's (and now my early 40's) I'd never quite understood why my parents and theirs before them hoarded quite so much obsolete junk. But I know why now. Because these domestic appliances are the only things which seem constant in my house when everything else is changing so rapidly.

    Heavens. What a profound thought. I've passed into middle age in just one post ...

    Maybe I don't want this Bissell thing after all ;)

    Dear Mr Beckett

    I am contacting you in regards to your fax sent on the 30th May 2007 to
    Bissell. Our investigation into this matter has found that there was a
    fault on the website on the 24th May between 10pm and 11pm - this fault
    is currently being looked into by our technical team.

    In the meantime we need to retake your order for you - can you either
    reply to this email with your contact details so that we can contact you
    or please call our call centre on 0870 220 0320 to place your order.

    We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Kind Regards

    Steve Cook
    Shop Direct

    I think this may be referring to the email not my letter which should have arrived this morning.

    Did anyone order outside of the "fault hours" and have the email proving this?

    Are they offering to re-take the order at £0.00 or at the proper retail price ?

    I'd be amazed if they honoured this but good luck anyway .

    I ordered at 11.58pm. My mum ordered the following morning around 8.50am.

    Ive emailed asking where my hoover is, but no reply.

    Neither me or my mum has heard anything.

    I think Bissell are talking Rubbish

    mine is 9.18pm.

    I emailed and asked what the delivery time would be and got a reply that they couldn't find my order number and asked for my address.
