Sunglasses Help Please

[SunglassesHelpPlease]

I'm posting on here in the hope someone can help

My daughter is 7. Her Grandad got her some sunglasses a few weeks ago. She loved them. They fitted her really well, in the past sunglasses have been uncomfortable for her because on one eye they touched her eyelashes, but these were perfect.

There was a school trip 2 weeks ago and all the kids took sunglasses and a hat. It was the first time DD had taken them out and she was so proud to show her friends.

A bigger kid broke and scratched them on purpose. The trip was made up of 3 years, and apparently the bigger kid came over and laughed and broke them.

DD came home from the trip very upset.

My Dad has been back to the Tescos and the 2 other Tescos in the area but none of them have them.

So I'm hoping someone can please help. If anyone shops in Tesco and they have a clothing department would you mind having a look please.

I can bank transfer or paypal you.

They are from the womens section of F & F
About £7

She got them at the start of March so somewhere might have them still in stock.

I, and DD, would be very grateful if anyone can help.

I hope you complained about the lack of supervision on the trip and for the bully to be punished.

I will try and have a look tomorrow for you.

That’s just downright nasty what that kid has done.

I did. He snapped one of the arms off and then scraped them back and forth across the ground, scratching all the lenses. I was not happy.

Thanks

We've been to 2 more tescos today. No joy yet :(

I would contact Tesco on Facebook and see if they could track them down in a store!

I don't have facebook or twitter. I have emailed them though.

What is it with children today?

I never encountered anything like this when I was a child in the 1970s.

Boys sometimes had fights after school which lasted all of two minutes as the noise of everyone chanting, “FIGHT! FIGHT!FIGHT!” got the attention of a teacher or someone’s dad and it was soon broken up and the boys would then be mates again the next day.

There was none of this spiteful and lasting grudge behaviour that I hear about today.

My children are adults and were not bullied but I did see and hear some incidents about other children and on a school trip I witnessed one git of a child behave appallingly towards others and I took him aside to speak to him by guiding his upper arm and pulling him away from the others.

He was as big as me and had booted some of the other children and made one girl cry with the kick. No provocation he just kicked others for fun.

When I told him off he smirked and said he knew his rights and I couldn’t stop him doing whatever he wanted. I told him that rule applies to the teachers who could lose their jobs but those rules didn’t apply to me and I was happy to pull his trousers down in front of the other children and wallop him and give them all a laugh.

Obviously I would never have done that but I called his bluff and he backtracked and said sorry and behaved himself for the rest of the trip.

Later on I heard him ask my son if I had been in the army and my son caught on and said yes I had and not to mess with me. Ha ha ha

No I’ve never been in the army and the git of a child whenever he saw me up at the school would come and say hello to me and be as nice as pie! Sadly, there were incidents at the school with him acting like a thug.

Anyway back to the glasses, there are two superstores I can check for you.

It was just so mean.

DD often plays with bigger kids. She's a real social butterfly. Apparently she was playing with a big girl, and from what I can make out the boy was trying to impress the bigger girl because he liked her, and this was how he got the bigger girls attention.

I bet that really impressed her... NOT!

Thanks so much for checking. DD would be thrilled to have another pair.

Tesco have emailed back. A lady there is going to see if they can find a pair in stock anywhere.

I hope they find them for you.

Me too. Between my Dad, MN, and Tesco I'm hopeful.

Did you get the glasses,OP? I'm heading to Tesco today.

What a shit thing to do. 😡

Not yet @EleanorLavish if you could please have a look for me I'd be really grateful.

Thanks

Its on the list.
Fingers crossed.

Maybe you should start a new thread with something like 'is anyone going to Tesco?' or something like that as a title. I've seen people on MN find all sorts over the years. Most recently a mug from Clintons that was years old.

Give me five mins I’m about to pop in one.

Fingers crossed

I’m in tesco and I’ve got them!!

Well done Eleanor!

They’re not in the one I’m in!

Let me know your address via PM OP, and I’ll send them over.
I’m working all day tomorrow so it’ll be Friday afternoon before I can get to post office, sorry.

Hooray!

Love this!

So happy to read a happy ending ! Your DD will be thrilled

Oh @EleanorLavish thank you so much. Silly but it actually brought a tear to my eye. HUGE HUGE THANKS

I'll PM you my address now, and please let me know cost plus postage and if you prefer bankl transfer or paypal.

Wow, thank you :)

Also, you can tell your dd that there are lovely people in the world like Eleanor and that can be what she remembers about her rainbow sunglasses rather than the mean boy who broke them.

Eleanor is indeed amazing and DD will certainly equate her rainbow glasses to the lovely lady :)
