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.

What wonderful news @GoldGoose you are a star ⭐️❤️

Yes it did, son has just confirmed “that’s definitely my bunny”

It's a bloody gorgeous bunny. I'm so glad it is found.

devilspawn · 30/12/2024 13:51

Can we have some more details please @GoldGoose? Did you wear a deerstalker hat? Did you have to negotiate like Robert Kardashian? Was it a grab and go? Did you need to show the bunny's ID?

Joolsin · 30/12/2024 13:51

Yay, love a good MN Samaritan thread. Well done @GoldGoose - that is one clearly well-loved bunny who will receive an ecstatic welcome home!

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 🙁

@saraclara

try your own thread today!!

someone might be there for New Year & be able to get it for you!!

gingercat02 · 30/12/2024 13:52

Well done @GoldGoose 👏

@GoldGoose
Oh Goose you absolute star. ⭐️ Mn at it's best. Hoorah!

Bubobubo · 30/12/2024 13:52

Aww this is lovely, I still haven't recovered from my DS losing his Jellycat dog in Paris many years ago.
The new one just wasn't right.

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 🐰🫧

@gingercat02

A Grandmother in training!! To you he'll always be cream!!

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.

😭😭

🤗🤗🤗

FizzingAda · 30/12/2024 13:56

What a lovely story! Some lovely people on Mumsnet 💖

Mama1980 · 30/12/2024 13:57

Well done Golden Goose how lovely! You're a superstar!

TheDowagerCountessofPembroke · 30/12/2024 13:58

Wow that was quick.

Somehow this thread has made the room dusty. 😭

SnoopySantaPaws · 30/12/2024 13:58

Ok @Clearinguptheclutter

how is his return journey being arranged, he simply cannot be left to royal snail miss delivery!!

it's new year, MNers travelling up & down the country you need a shout out for a safe passage!!

123456abcdef · 30/12/2024 13:58

Well done @GoldGoose
op may I suggest an AirTag if you’re an Apple family, our ds’ beloved bunny messages me if we leave her anywhere but home.

There's not much shocks me on mumsnet but this did. How truly heartless.

DollieBantrysPantry · 30/12/2024 13:59

Well done Golden Goose 🌟🌟🌟 It is wonderful that boy and bunny will soon be reunited 😊

Awwwwwww that's brilliant!!

Toomanyvampires · 30/12/2024 14:00

Just to add I’m thrilled about this and a little teary.

DS also lost his jellycat before Christmas somewhere between Edinburgh and Kings Cross and he (and I) are distraught. I’ve had a reply from the hotel that they don’t have her but nothing yet from LNER. This gives me hope! I’m so glad for your son and will keep pestering lost property.

WildAndFree123 · 30/12/2024 14:02

@GoldGoose you truly have a heart of gold.

oh no. It might be worth seeing if
someone on here works for LNER and can help.

I did get over it but aged 3 or so I left a doll on a plane on the way back from France. Never saw her again but I know what great lengths my parents went to to try and get her back.

You're wonderful Golden Goose 😊

Stopsnowing · 30/12/2024 14:04

Well done Gold Goose. (I have had dealings with this hotel and can confirm it is impossible to get through by telephone - had to go in person myself once!)

Wintersgirl · 30/12/2024 14:04

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 30/12/2024 14:03

Why?

Yeah same, I've read and read it but still not getting it?
