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'm not buying them anymore, just threw away another dried up one that hasn't had the lid replaced. Kind of nice that the child felt he could ask a neighbour.

Mine came yesterday ~ I have a pack of 3 so you can keep one save having to ask again

Have some in the spare school supplies box, bought when they were still on teen's pencil case list, not sure how old, unopened though, they might still work, they would be welcome to check and keep if any were up to the job!

Does anyone need any notebooks?
I seem to have accumulated quite a few, and somehow a couple "fell" into my shopping basket yesterday 😬
(the stationery addiction runs strong).

Sorry, no.
I do have glue sticks, but not ones to lend out.
Also, they're technically not borrowing it because once the glue is used, it's used.

Glue dots! I genuinely need glue dots, well, just a couple.
I thought I had a pack <goes off to check the stationery cupboard again>

I have glue sticks. A glue gun, which has never been used.

FurForksSake · 26/09/2025 13:27

I saw someone using a glue gun that looked like a pen on TikTok and I want one now.

I’ve also just acquired a cricut maker 4, so if anyone wants some vinyl cutting 😆

HowDairy · 26/09/2025 13:37

Do glue guns stick things permanently? I need it to be temporary and detachable, if you get me!

That sounds very fancy @FurForksSake
I'll rummage around for some vinyl for you to cut 😉

I’m a former teacher so have a massive container of pva glue, about 6 glue sticks and a pack of superglue somewhere!
