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

[Clearinguptheclutter]

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.

Wonderful thread showing the absolute best of this site.

@GoldGoose - what a truly kind act. may the wonderful energy you've put out into the universe come back to you threefold!

@Clearinguptheclutter - so glad DS is no longer inconsolable. This will mean the world to him and I'm really happy for you both.

Brava, Mumsnet!

This is such a warming thread. Thanks on behalf of all Mums who have been there @GoldGoose

13 Yr old Dd still treasures her blanket she has had since birth and would be distraught if it were lost (but too cool to admit it ofcourse)

Omg, there's always one. It was a joke. Of COURSE she would choose to stop Hitler if she could!

My DS once left his precious blanket on a ferry - no chance of getting it back, although I asked them. I told him I was getting them to send it (playing for time) and meanwhile bid for an identical new one on EBay. Won the item and it was sent but never arrived, despite proof of posting and being told it had been delivered. When I communicated with the seller, she sympathised, said that her DS had also loved the blanket and in fact the one I had bought had been the back up in case that one ever got lost. But as he had now grown out of it, she’d send me the used one for free. It arrived and of course being slightly battered DS was convinced it was the original! I’ll always think kindly of that eBay seller!

Oh, this is lovely!

Well done, OP for thinking to ask on here and BRAVO GOOSE for saving the day!!

❤

This is the most loveliest thread I've seen on here in ages 🥰 Well done @GoldGoose

I have a disgustingly dirty, no longer plush, very stitched up by my late mum, dog that means more to me than anything else (non living) in the world. One of my sons went through a phase of 'posting' things in the bin when he was a toddler and "Sugar" went missing for a whole month once and I was convinced he'd been thrown in the dust trucks jaws. I cried a lot 😳 But I found him! 😅

My partner always jokingly threatens to send him to The Repair Shop, as I always get cross when they take really lovely aged things and make them look so different and new. He said my grotty brown dog will probably come back as a lovely fluffy pink cat 😱😭

What a lovely ending!

@JustSawJohnny - my 10 year old has an identical bunny in pink. He's called Rabbitty

We don't take him out anymore as I'm worried about losing him. So happy about your rabbit!

This has made my day! Also was traumatised by losing a Le Tan Fluro hat in the 90’s at the zoo, so glad your little one has their bunny back!

@saraclara I'm not sure I can work the same wonders as @GoldGoose but I will be in Aberdeen later in the week if you want me to give it a shot...?

This is the nicest thread I’ve ever seen on MN. @GoldGoose, you’re an absolute star, I hope something amazing happens for you now.

Fabulous!

Well done@GoldGoose you're a ⭐
And to everyone else that offered to go 😊

I dropped my panda bear overboard when travelling from Fishguard to Rosslare around 1968 or 1969. It was around mid July on our way to holiday. If anyone has seen a 10 inch rather fat panda bobbing around the North Atlantic please let me know. It wasn't wearing any clothes. The captain wouldn't turn round - bastard.

I'm crying 😢 we have just come from Spain and we left my daughter Santa chocolate in the fridge. She's devastated 😭

It's not too late to sue for the trauma.

The Captain I mean, not the panda.

Although if the naked panda ever gets washed up anywhere, you should sue him too.

I was in hospital when I was 5 - I nearly died of pneumonia.

Someone stole my teddy bear.

@GoldGoose Amazing … very well done .
This has cheered me up on an awful day .
Restored my faith in human nature .
I wish you a very happy New Year .

pleased for you OP !

@GoldGoose

You have made my day!

So happy Bunny will be reunited with DS! 😍

The Hope and Champion at Beaconsfield Services.

We stopped there for breakfast on our way to the ferry port for a holiday to Disneyland Paris. When we got to Folkestone we realised DC4 had left Oliver his bear on the bench seat in the pub.

One call to the pub later and he was retrieved. We picked Oliver up a week later on our way home, apparently he’d spent the week in the managers office shelf keeping an eye on her whilst she did her work 🤣.

These things are so precious!

My son once left his 'hand Thomas' (the utterly battered wooden tank engine amongst a collection of about a hundred Thomas toys that DS got randomly attached to and held in his hand for about 2 years) on a supermarket shelf, in a box of teddies.

The panic scouring will haunt me for eternity!!

Thankfully we found it but we ordered a back up and 'distressed' it the next day. We'd been here, there and everywhere so it took quite some time to find!

Lovely thread! Please update us when Bunny is safely home in Manchester.

Well done Goldengoose..!

Wow! That's extremely kind of you. If you're in the city centre and don't mind popping in (and I still haven't had a response) I might take you up on that! I've had a right old rant on twitter today and had yet more apologies from customer service, but even they can't get a response from the hotel!

But really, don't go to any effort. Only help if you're passing. It's the really ugly concrete one near King Street

If you DM me if you think it'll work, I'll fill you in on the details.

This thread reminds me of a beautiful picture book by Tom Percival, 'The Sea Saw'-it's lovely!

Holy fuck @GoldGoose - what Christmas spirit! Bravo to you!
