Shopping Cart Broken

Hi folks,
The shopping cart Icon tells me I have one item in my cart.
When I click the icon and go to the cart it tells me my cart is empty.
When I go to the item I want to buy it tells me it is already in my cart and won't let me add it.
How can I pay for it, if it on one hand tells me I already have it in my cart, but also tells me my cart is empty?
Please help. :-)

OK, here is a fix I worked out.
Add any other random item to the cart. Cart now reads 2 items.
Then click the cart to view contents. Both items now visible (previously neither).
Remove the random item.
Voila.
That is exactly the advice that you would have been given. It is a known bug.
