To ask if any MNers in Bournemouth can loan a blanket or two urgently?

I'm on a NC, been a MNer for years though. My dearest friend is stuck tonight in Bournemouth. She is staying for her DC to see their relative and she's had to clean and wash everything... blankets aren't dry and they are cold!!!

She's very honest and lovely and will return your blankets after but could anyone local perhaps lend one or two for the night to her and her 5 year old child?

This is my first thought but open to ideas... she doesn't drive to go and buy one

To the Bournemouth posters, hope you have had a good day if you have been to the air show. I saw the red arrows from my back garden , I'm very close to the airport so they usually fly over my house.

@MyKingdomForBrie it is wonderful isn't it! She's not a mumsnetter but I expect she will now, I've used it for years and I know it gets a moan here and there but I've found it invaluable support at times and today was wonderful thanks to @Anoushkasays coming to the rescue!

Thank you all! Especially @Anoushkasays now they're warm I'm off to bed myself relieved they're safe and warm. Won't post too much to not share her business on the internet but it was an awesome rescue tonight and a child can stay and see their relative, something they've wanted for a long time!

chocolateworshipper · 30/08/2018 22:34

Awwwww. There are some days I despair of MN, but then a thread like this makes me love it! Well done Anoushka

JessicaJonesJacket · 30/08/2018 22:35

Anoushka that was very kind of you

2018SoFarSoGreat · 30/08/2018 22:47

this thread made me all warm and fuzzy. I'm in Northern California - if anyone needs a blankie, or whatever, just holler and I'm on it.

Anoushka you are a of the highest order.

Pumpkintopf · 30/08/2018 22:48

Well done Anoushka, that was very kind of you.

MudCity · 30/08/2018 22:49
