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. :(

I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to respond, I’ve been out all day with the kids as they’re half day, and it was nativity this morning so a rare day off the net for me, and tbh I’d given up hope. Thank you all so much, to everyone who has been helping, and obviously a special thank you to @glueandstick. I’ve pm’d her now - and thanks to @gingerkraut for pm’ing me!!!

Might have a little cry now. I will update on Christmas morning if anyone is interested with a pic of her wee face. She will honestly be so thrilled!

P.s. @glue - I hope you’ve found something as lovely as you are to wear to your night out - but as roald dahl said,

“If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams, and you will always look lovely” - and you definitely fit that bill ❤️
