I’ve smashed my cat shaped canister

And I can’t stop crying. I’m being ridiculous but it was part of a set of 3 and it’s no longer available to buy. I can’t find one for sale on eBay or Facebook. I’ve had the year from hell and this is just one too many things Sad

Absolute pity party post, does anyone want to join me?

Flowers I hope tomorrow is a better day.

Maybe if you post a picture another MN will have one in a box full of things they are giving to the charity shop?

Ahh OP what a shame. Perhaps put a photo up, MN is so good at finding things. Happy to have a look and here's some Flowers

Don't lose heart either, just because there are none on ebay etc now doesn't mean there wont ever be. Try Etsy too.

Thank you both Flowers this is the cat. It came from Asda a couple of years ago. I will keep looking! I saw a listing on eBay but it says this one is not in stock, I message them anyway 🤞🏻

There’s one on eBay. I can’t post links. I can’t post links for some reason but initially the striped teapot came up & there is the option to select this

Type black and white cat teapot canister into the ebay search, this is the item then scroll through the options for sale

Sad straw that broke the camels back.

Sorry op. Sometimes things like this happening just tip you over the edge.

Hope you feel better soon.

@IBrokeMyCat - the eBay one looks like it's still available

iklboodolphrednosedpaindear · 09/12/2021 17:10

Ignore me! I was looking at the wrong one.

This is the one I found but it won’t let me select the jar because it says out of stock Sad I have messaged them though

Thank you both!! I looked for ages with different search terms and couldn’t find anything, I will message the Facebook person now and then go for the eBay if not ❤️

@MogHog are you able to send me the link? I can’t find it on mine even if I type the exact title

I love it when Mumsnet does this. 😊

IBrokeMyCat · 09/12/2021 20:25

Update. The Facebook ones were sold, so I have bought the eBay one. It’s definitely not worth £26 but for my mental health it is 😅 thank you everyone that commented, it’s made me feel a lot better Daffodil

If losing it made you so sad, it's worth £26 OP. I'm so glad Mumsnetters were able to help

JustLikea · 09/12/2021 23:01

It's definitely worth what you paid for it especially as you can only buy it secondhand. Glad you even managed to find one OP.

I cried today because after carefully washing one of my 4 Christmas plates my DM gave me it slipped to floor and smashed into a gazillion pieces. It was my favourite one as well. Annoying as 2 of the others look quite similar so wouldn't have minded so much if it was one of them.
I'll have a look now on eBay though as you never know

glutten4punishment · 18/12/2021 10:35

Has it arrived OP?

IBrokeMyCat · 19/12/2021 23:03

@glutten4punishment it did! Thank you for checking in Flowers it arrived on Friday and I’m so pleased to have the set of 3 again. I shan’t be so careless with it again! (And I might keep an eye out for spares just incase Grin)
