Well I have had an order confirmation. The terms says I need an order acceptance for it to be binding. They also say that this happens when they take the money. Which I think they have as roughly the right amount has been "held" on my account available & actual balances.

I guess come Monday when head office is open I will get a begging phone call.

Any one else buying some?

Might buy more lol.

Just ordered 2. If they arrive I'm going to need to start excavating my lawn :-). Bought them before Mrs Crispy could say no!

The link now says

Due to essential maintenance diy.com is currently unavailable.

Possibly reducing the tanks down to 10£  ?

I bought four, seemed like a good idea at the time. Do neeed to drink less Red Wine.

Ordered 2 this afternoon, I have the confirmation of the order and a copy of the advert. It seems a bit of a coincidence the web site is down!! Will just have to wait and see. I think the advert said there was a rain water filter and pump included as well ! Will check when I get home.
