Can you help please?

[nokidshere]

I have a close friend who is a young man with autism. He is distraught because he has broken his favourite coffee mug (he's very attatched to it and uses it every day) and I am trying to track down a replacement for him. I've seen how fab you all are when tracking things down for people before so I thought I'd ask for your help.

The mug is a Whittards Tea Clipper mug with blue stars. There are a few I've found so far but they are the espresso size and we need a full size coffee mug. If anyone has one (or more) that they are willing to sell please let me know. Or link if you can find one. Many thanks.

To clarify is it like the photo or does it have blue stars?

Are these the ones, OP?

@butterandbread 😮

I've been on eBay all morning and they didn't come up on my list - thank you

It has blue stars like the pic.

I've put in an offer on that one thank you but am still interested in having some spares if anyone has one they want to sell.

The photo doesn't show a mug with blue stars.

@noroominthefridge really? It does on my page?

Oh I'm sorry. It's a blue mug with white stars and yes it's right right one

Is this going to 'break the internet'?

I've put in an offer on that one

Are you sure? There aren't any bids and there are 2 mugs included.

@ThreeLittleDots Offers are different to bids. They don't count as a bid so won't show up until the seller accepts the offer at which point the item will be sold once the buyer pays.

I know that JollyHolly30 but that item hasn't got offers available. Just didn't want OP's friend to miss out!

Good point @ThreeLittleDots I hadn't noticed there was no Make an Offer option!

Unless you contacted the seller privately to make an offer OP?

It clearly states in the blurb to email with an offer.

Are people genuinely trying to catch the op out on something as banal as this?

Yes I have emailed with an offer. If they don't reply today I'll put a bid in and keep looking for one I get quicker.

I have 2 of these mugs if you would like them. My dh is always moaning about us having too many mugs!

My mum has one! She never uses it, I do when I go over! Let me know if you want me to send it over!

@Crazyhouse123 @JADS I would love to have them please 😁 can you inbox me with details? How cool if I could get him a whole lot

Well this thread has restored my faith in mumsnet humanity

@Crazyhouse123 and @JADS
It’s people like you who honestly put my faith back into humanity

@JADS Thank you SO SO much, you are an absolute star. The young man was very emotional when I gave them to him and very happy 😊 I also bought the eBay ones and have put them away at my house in case of further accidents.
