Sorry, Not quite in the same league as when the OH managed to order 1,000 chickens. They only had 352 in stock, but the rest could follow in a day or so.

She put it down either to a communications glitch or finger trouble. Fortunately the site came back to her to apologise that they couldn't fulfil the order in one go!
