House-sitting and accidentally damaged spatula - help needed please :)

[RangeTesKopeks]

Aargh feel so frustrated at myself. Feel really bad.

Currently house-sitting, and put the dishwasher on earlier. Just went to take the things out of the dishwasher and noticed that the spatula (with a silicone 'head') has a chunk missing from it.

I realised it's because I (bloody stupidly) put the spatula next to a carving knife, and the knife must have sliced a bit off the spatula during the dishwasher cycle.

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a similar spatula from please? Have no idea where it's from, and would like to replace it. Frantically Googling orange spatulas at the moment because of my own stupidity So far, I've only been able to find ones with silicone handles rather than metallic handles.

Thanks everyone!!

Sooo many

Just popped in to see how a thread about a spatula got 52 replies

I think it might be a dough scraper rather than a spatula - links: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/272691750085?chn=ps&dispItem=1&adgroupid=45192390362&rlsatarget=pla-331477170132&abcId=1129006&adtype=pla&merchantid=113070669&poi=&googleloc=9045206&device=c&campaignid=861899495&crdt=0

What does the end of the metal handle look like, OP? Do you remember if the head was symmetrical before it got sliced?

This one's only a tenner www.amazon.co.uk/d/Spatulas-Turners/Silit-22711201-Universal-Orange-Red/B000P5PLOK?tag=mumsnetforum-21

Which compared to the other ones is actually reasonable.

I suppose someone should now ask where you are located, which country.
We've got answers on here recommending both US and UK links and maybe others too.

Sorrylaughing outloud here with the links to 1000 spatulas. What would you do with that many

Pssssst!!! Anyone wanna spatula?

Thanks so much everyone! You're fab :)

Whoops sorry - I'm in London :) Quite near a Tiger actually, so will pop in after work later to see what I can find.

Even if you're selling spatulas, 1000 is a heck of a lot! I don't think I've ever seen a shop that had more than 20 identical ones on display. Presumably they might have a few dozen more in the back, but I wouldn't imagine that spatulas would sell that fast!

Just tell them you modified it to fit their pans better. And then charge them for your genius.....

It's prtty obvious that 1000 spatulas would be needed if you were organising a world-wide simultaneous Spatula-Relay Race.

I ask you!

I keep reading FlyingFlipFlops name as FryingFlipFlop which would make a good alternative name for a spatula.

Please will you update when you find the replacement spatula. It's important to me 😂😂😂

£3 from Tiger.

About five to ten dollars at my old work. Not hard to find :)

Better you should be honest and upfront about what happened. "I accidentally broke this - I will replace it". It's pretty likely they'll laugh and tell you not to bother! They really are cheap as chips.

Just wanted to add,
Too many sitcoms start like this, with a relatively minor issue that gets blown out of all proportion because the person who didn't thinks it's easier/preferable to bend over backwards or go through all kinds of implausible shenanigans to rectify the problem before the other person finds out. The reality is, honesty is by far the better policy. Not only is it much easier in terms of the fact that you don't then have to run around covering up a lie, but people respect honestly far more than deception :)

Also adding (sorry for triple post) the fact that you're fretting about this so much, says a lot about you, and all of it's good.

Especially when as a PP said there's another thread going about a woman whose 10yo damaged the teen babysitter's iPad and she's trying to get out of paying for it (?). Two kinds of people in the world, huh?

I must admit I smiled at your OP.

If you cant find the exact one, just get a similar one from Tiger.

The OP in the iPad thread was clear from the beginning that she would pay to fix it, she was just looking for cheaper options.

I have that exact spatula.

I want to say it would have either come from Wilko or Asda, but if it did then they don't appear to sell them anymore.

Barring the colour them Tiger ones look the same though.

I wouldn't worry too much though, it's just a spatula. (A really nice one, I love that spatula. I have my baking things stored separately to the every day kitchen stuff so they don't get ruined. That spatula stays with the baking things. I'm aware I sound crazy but I've been burned before...)

Hmm Jem, how much is that spatula worth to you...?

Thanks everyone :) bought another one from Tiger yesterday and 'fessed up to the homeowners what happened. They were reasonably chilled about it :)

I did consider asking how much the OP wanted for it, noblegiraffe, but I really don't want to part with it!

Glad the spatula owners were chilled, you'd have to really question the sort of person someone to be that precious about a spatula...

Nice. There's no need to be anything other than chilled over an accident like that, and it is just a spatula.

JemDoughnut, I keep all my baking stuff outof dh's way too. He'll ruin anything! Now i want a spatula like that too! If I were to get 1000 of them I could hide them and bring another one out each time dh messes one up.

I mean if it had been the fish slice, and the owners had found the sex lube missing, we'd have an actual scandal on our hands.

They were reasonably chilled about it. Reasonably? Over a spatula?

I've got one exactly the same. Think it was from wilko around £1.50.
Try not to worry. I'm sure they won't mind.

Sorry, just read your update.
