On the off chance that the lady who helped me today is a fellow mumsnetter I would like to thank her.

I was out with DS took him to see the ducks, half way round he had a coughing fit and was a tiny bit sick, so took him to the public toilet to clear him up a bit. (big mistake) lets just say someone had missed the toilet and decided to wipe it on the walls instead (yuk yuk) cue ds to then reach badly, I took him outside where he proceeded to throw up all over me and himself.

I went out with nothing but my key and £1 to get him a drink. This women with her pram came rushing up to me and helped me clear us both up while I must have used at least 20 wipes, before I had chance to say thanks she was gone. I was very touched by her kindness .

Ds is 3.5 and I stopped taking wipes out with me years ago, guess I will always take a bag and wipes with me. i could have learn't the hard way.

Whymummy - I think you'd better up the bill from £1.50!! Harrods wipes would be at least a pound each.

It was you then, I will ask tech for you address and forward the £1.50. Why though you would actually want it if you are rich as you say you are.

Breeze - I think you'll find that the bill may be modified slightly to incorporate the brand name.

20 x 99.6p = £19.92p

unless someone tells me where it was we were, then any claims for wipe money can go out the window.
