To ask for help from someone who lives in Ireland?

I feel so silly asking this when we are all facing such big challenges at the moment, but thought maybe someone could help me out.

My son's favourite snack has been discontinued by the manufacturers. He's loved then for years, and is gutted. He has some additional needs, so changes like this are a bigger deal for him than most kids. He's eeked out his last packet but they are now all gone.

I've found a website in Ireland that says this food is still in stock. I've not found it in stock anywhere in England. I was hoping that if I got an order delivered to a MNetter in Ireland, they would be kind enough to forward the order on to me? I would cover all costs, and make a small donation to a charity as a thank you?

Is there a kind MNetter that could help?

Thank you in advance! Flowers

Oh wow, that would be amazing, thank you!

There's a limit of four items per order, so I'll take you both up on your offer if that's ok.

I'll PM you now Flowers

I can try too.

Whohasnickedmyvodka · 03/11/2020 19:22

I may be able to help as well

MadameMiggeldy · 03/11/2020 19:25

Me too!

Zixxy · 03/11/2020 19:26

I can help too, what is the product just for our interest? We are nosey feckers here in Ireland it is part of what we are! Don't say if you don't want.

We are cool and generous here and I'll pay the postage and packaging too. Nothing like making a kid happy!

AnnieJ1985 · 03/11/2020 19:26

Me too, or if it is something that can be bought in a supermarket here, I can keep an eye out

Zixxy · 03/11/2020 19:28

If you tell us what the product is, and we can find it, you will have a years supply before the night is out lol!

ReallySpicyCurry · 03/11/2020 19:30

I'm in NI so I can get you the proper Tayto rather than that Southy stuff, if that helps

awaits death by angry Dubs GrinGrin

Am also willing to help, am also desperate to know snack

Zixxy · 03/11/2020 19:35

now ReallySpicyCurry, come on there is no contest. Tayto Park is in the Southy stuff. Nuff said lol. Late home from work so off to make myself a soft white bread sandwich with Kerrygold and crushed (Southern) Tayto with mature cheddar on top.

Lovely to see all the offers of assistance. But what the feck is it?

SparklingGin · 03/11/2020 19:36

I can also help.

Cocomarine · 03/11/2020 19:36

Prepared to lie about where I live, just to find out what it is... 😉

DormerBay · 03/11/2020 19:36

I'm a mix of gratitude that so many of you have offered to help, and smiling that people want to know what the snack is.

Reminds me of people whose DPs have a hobby they won't name (cycling, isn't it?)!

If I said, it would totally out me as anyone who knows us knows his addiction!

However, it may be worth it if I can get my hands on any remaining unsold stock...

Hmm!

OP posts:
DormerBay · 03/11/2020 19:37

Oh, and you've totally lost me on the Tayto comments...

OP posts:
Cocomarine · 03/11/2020 19:37

You should get the orders in, before you reveal anything though!

ReallySpicyCurry · 03/11/2020 19:38

Zixxy, we'll agree on the Kerrygold and not let a smug potato with a face get between us but something weird happens to crisps when that Belfast/Dublin lines hits a certain point

OP, is it a big nougat bar by any chance?

Cocomarine · 03/11/2020 19:39

I didn’t think it was Tayto crisps as you don’t really get them in England (assuming you’re England) so I’m guessing he wouldn’t have got his addiction in the first place 🤣

DormerBay · 03/11/2020 19:39

Lol!

If you live within seven miles of York, you might be able to help too - just found another potential source, but only delivery local to York!

OP, Tayto crisps are the best crisps in the world, but there are slight differences to the North vs South varieties. Debate rages on as to which is better, bags of each variety are smuggled across the border both ways by visiting family... Grin
