Hello! Do you have a pritt stick I could borrow please?

[HowDairy]

How would this request go down in your household right now?

Our little next-door neighbour just knocked and asked, and got given a brand new stick.
Just wondering how you would fare in the emergency pritt stick scenario?
Do you have any to hand?
Luckily for NDN child, this being the start of a new school year, our stationery supplies have been very recently freshly replenished!
Had it been a couple of months ago, I think we'd be hard pushed to find a dried up empty stick between us 😄

I can offer you a long arm, a compact or a Japanese paperless stapler.

Shall we move on to why anyone needs multiple hole punches including the ones where two are joined together? The 8 protractors I have just purchased? The 10 exercise books?

I seem to have lost the stationery plot.

Yes, I bought some in the middle of Lidl the other day because we'd run out.

Ooh, yes. You can borrow my stapler. And it’s even got staples in!

It’s in the same cupboard as the crap Pritt stick, the paperclips and drawing pins

No, don’t have one. All I’d be able to offer the child would be a hot glue gun 🔥.

if i could find it

I can offer you a 4-hole hole punch and a box of treasury tags.

I’ve just bought a pack of 10 for the start of term - down to 7 already (only 1 child needs them so not sure how 😂)

I’ve got a roll of those polo shaped reinforcements stickers to stick on the holes of A4 paper. Bought in the 90s and kept “just in case”

I’d say “Yes, certainly. Do you need BluTack too ? Or double sided sticky tape ?”

Yep I could begrudgingly open my school supplies bag.

However they are like gold dust in school so I’d have to really like NDN child 🤣

I have a green one, about 4 or 5 years old, genuine pritt stick, sticky still but dries green, so will likely have it for several more years. Available for desperate next door neighbours but I think the fact that it dries green it will be rejected. 🐸

Awww c'mon @itsgettingweird
they did say please! 🙏

I'll swap you some washi tape 🤗

Rug is 12ft x 10ft but cake is a Taste the Difference triple chocolate muffin. You are on your way already, arent you?

I have a jumbo pritt stick, rubber, pencil sharpener, board marker pens, ruler, pens, zig zag scissors and many mini white boards.

I have a carousel of scissors that cut different patterns 😆

I have one in my stationary drawer that has to have been in there for at least 8 years.
I so very seldom use it now but I have done and all I do is take a sharp knife and cut off a very thin piece of the stick and it's as good as new.
Probably better quality than they make today!
I also have two staplers! It pays to be prepared! 😆

I've got a well stocked craft room so yes I do and ribbons and inks and pretty paper an d double sided tape and glue dots and glitter, hell I could give Hobbycraft a run for their money.

I like your (stationery) style!

I have an entire bag of glues. It's one of the things that makes me feel like a proper grown up. You can have print, uhu, contact adhesive, araldite, super glue, or one of a variety of tapes for good measure: double sided sticky tape, sellotape, or those foam sticky pads.

I have about 8 different glues they could happily have one of the many pritt sticks.

@MotherofPearl I’ve just written a shopping list using a tombow Japanese calligraphy pen 😆we shan’t judge the content of the list.

Yes because the other day I found 2 brand new pritt sticks when I was tidying the junk drawer. Prior to that no because I had no idea they existed.

limescale I still use those regularly. I hate punched holes getting torn.

Yes, I can do Pritt Sticks in two different sizes as well as a whole range of other stationery related stuff.

I have several of America’s favourite Elmer’s Glue Sticks. Amongst many other glues.

And a laminater.
