Help, are any mumsnetters passing the St Pancras premier inn next few days

got an inconsolable 11 year old DS. Left his (once) white jellycat bunny, given to him when he was born. It has been temporarily lost before and he has a (almost as old) replacement but obviously it’s not the same. Anyway we are 99% sure it was left in a certain room in the premier inn st Pancras yesterday

Now back at home in Manchester. I am calling the hotel and getting no answer (they are grossly understaffed), I have got a response from Twitter but only that they will pass it on to the hotel which I can’t be sure will get through.

I’m wondering if any very kind mumsnetter may be able to pop in and try and physically ask someone - and/or if we can confirm it is there, pick it up (as I gather that they might not agree to send or just be too busy). Obviously I would pay postage plus a generous tip!

in the meantime wondering if anyone has any happy stories from lost property at the premier inn. Honestly they are so critically understaffed (perhaps deliberately so?) that only turning up in person is likely to get any result.

Wow @GoldGoose I would be so grateful. I will send you a pm with all the details. I have been on the phone trying to get through to them all morning with zero success.

Not Premier Inn but the French equivalent. Our car broke down in France and we ended up at a random motorway motel for the night. As you do, I updated my WhatsApp groups and a friend asked whether we could check on the existence of her child’s lost teddy from their holiday earlier in the summer as her emails were going unanswered. I summoned my best French and the teddy was duly produced, with my friend’s unanswered emails all attached to it with a rubber band.

I'm so glad your friend got it back!

Ours is 11 years old so less white but once looked like this.

Such a happy ending @Aintnobodygottime

I am so grateful to @GoldGoose for popping in whatever the outcome. Mumsnet is fantastic in this sort of situation.

Almost cried at this!! Lovely thread

I'm off to the airport now to collect my sisters phone to post to her overseas, she lost it on her way home. Not quite the same thing but a happy ending for her nonetheless.

How lovely of you to do that ❤️
