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.

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.

regards

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.
