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.

Oh how lovely. We have lost a lemon rabbit by jellycat, but I think it was in a hotel in France and I can't remember it's name and address. Also lost a beautiful hand knitted blanket which is irreplaceable, but I cannot figure out where it was lost, and now a cuddly toy that had my ds in tears last night, which is maybe in butlins.

We left another favourite toy at the drayton manor hotel once and they said it wasn't found, and I stupidly left all our holiday euros in a eurocamp and again they said it wasn't found.

Last year I left my most precious earrings in a hotel in London and was amazed to get those back, small ray of light!

This is such a lovely thread!

ShortyShorts · 30/12/2024 13:37

And now it's going to fill up with posters trying to 'out-cry' one another 🤭

Mumsnet at its finest though.

What a lovely person GoldGoose is.

Christwosheds · 30/12/2024 13:39

You're a liability!!

not sure I'd let you out of the house!!

🤣🤣🤣

Mydogisamassivetwat · 30/12/2024 13:44

This is amazing @GoldGoose (just make sure you post it back recorded delivery, could you imagine if it got lost in the post!)

therewasafishinthepercolator · 30/12/2024 13:45

Brilliant!! This is my favourite thing on MN.

Or possibly anywhere. So so lovely.

Unless...plot twist. The heroic Gold Goose holds bunny to ransom for.........one meeellion pounds! 😮

New bestselling children’s book “Gold Goose and the Slightly Grubby Lost Bunny”

… no judgment OP. All the most loved ones should look like this ❤️

what a great thread.

saraclara · 30/12/2024 13:47

That's fantastic!

Premier inn is terrible for this. I've been trying to get a response, by phone, by email and via twitter, for TWO MONTHS regarding a kindle I let behind at the Aberdeen one. Every week a Twitter person tells me that it's been escalated to higher management, and still nothing.

Thank goodness you got bunny back. I'm never see my kindle again, I'm certain. And it had great sentimental value to me 🙁

gingercat02 · 30/12/2024 13:47

DS left his bunny in a hotel in Spain, they happily posted it back to the UK for free, although they described it as grey, I said cream 🐰🫧

Actually I think you'll find that I won't be out-cried so I suggest that all others give it up in advance 😬😂.

Yeah. I left some necklaces in the bedside drawer of a hotel in Mallorca. Nothing of monetary value but two of very sentimental value as they had belonged to my Mum and Gran. I realised within 30 mins of setting off to the airport, knew exactly where they were and asked my sister in law to go to reception as she and family were staying on for a couple more days.

They “weren’t found” apparently. Utter bullshit. They were not interested in engaging in any way despite several emails in which I explained that I was 100% certain where I had left them and so there was only one plausible explanation . They just kept saying they had spoken to the cleaning staff who said they had found nothing 🤷‍♀️. It still makes me cry to think about it. Mar Hotels, in case anyone needs to know which company to avoid.

I think it worked this time!

Yayyyyyyyyy

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

poor little bugger looks knackered! Needs some cuddles & rest!!

im bouncing for joy! As we're been derided for crying!!

now, must read the rest of the posts to see how he's getting home, he's too precious to risk Royal Mail miss delivery!!

Planesmistakenforstars · 30/12/2024 13:48

What a wonderful thing to do. I lost my almost surgically-attached teddy when I was about that age, and as pathetic as it is I still think about him sometimes nearly 30 years later. If I could go back in a time machine I wouldn't put money on the lottery, or kill Hitler. I'd go and get my teddy.
