To ask you for Christmas miracle help because I’m an idiot

I bought my dd this money box at Asda, and getting it down to wrap it, I’ve bloody dropped and smashed it, and it’s out of stock.

Does anyone have one they would sell me, or would be willing to get it if they have it in a local Asda and I’ll happily pay p&p plus item cost?

I’m such a tit. :(

Oh op! How annoying. I have to go past an Asda today so will pop in and see if there’s any in stock for you.

I don't have a local Asda unfortunately.

There are some lovely ones on Amazon though if it doesn't have to be that exact one. There are also some absolute horrors on Amazon !

Thank you Teddy! Thanks Soup, too - she was desperate for the Asda one, but it may come to a replacement. Told DH and his response was I should calm down and stop wrapping.

That was EXTREMELY HELPFUL. 🙄

There is some cute ones on amazon?

Mishappening · 06/12/2017 22:01

You can buy online.

Gingernaut · 07/12/2017 20:43

Sorry, @BuntyCollocks, in Walsall Asda now. No joy.

Trying Wolvo as well, but don't hold your breath.

This is the one which shows up on the search now. Xmas Sad

ginorwine · 07/12/2017 21:14

I can check tomorrow ?

theredjellybean · 07/12/2017 21:21

Oh sass and belle one on amazon is gorgeous. Is your dd little? And still a believer? Perhaps leave her a letter from santa saying there was a slight problem with turbulence on the sleigh and the unicorn money box got broken but the emergency elf squad made a special unique one for her and had it flown out by the super elite reindeer...

Gingernaut · 07/12/2017 22:00

Sorry, @BuntyCollocks. Asda Wolves only have these ones.
