To ask my local mothercare if they could give me a nappy for my soiled dd ?

[Lilyloo]

Basically i got caught out without enough nappies today.
Teething etc lot's of soiled nappys.
I ask at the till if they can provide a nappy and am told no!
I didn't have the £8.99 for a 24 pack but was a bit surprised tbh.

Cool, another thread that's turning out to be all about me!

I loves it!

ach well it takes wan tae know wan.but nae gurning

it's the Scots you see - always pissed and fighting

[ducks]

I love AIBU.

It's my fav topic.

I wish I were pissed. But I'm sick as a dog with sinusitis.

Mmmm, Brokeback Mountain is on.

And Jake is lookin' mighty fine.

...Waves claymore in direction of Vistor.

AIBU rocks esp the nutty indignation of the op when challenged

weeeeeeell dont ask then nunnuts

alhough there's something a bit weird about seeing two fanciable men enjoying bottom sex isn't there?

I don't get why men find lesbianism such a turn on. I'd just feel like a bit of a spare part if I happened to stumble on their campsite.

Mothercare make £££'s off MUMS, they are not any old business

They should definitely have some facility to at least let a parent purchase a single nappy if they can't stretch to a freebee.

Parents do sometimes get caught out. Hillwalkers will sometimes get caught out, expat. That's life. Who wants to get caught out on purpose and take their DCs home in paper towels?

Oh ok, you asked a business to give you it's products/services for free. AUBU? OK, no you're not, you can ask for what you like.

But why be "surprised" they won't give you for free what they've got up for sale on their shelves with well-marked prices? Why should they? Do you usually get products/services for free? I don't. And that's why I suggested perhaps you were one of those think the world owes them - "surprised" to not be given it for free.

Personally I'm quite surprised you sat her on a couple of paper towels to take her home. IMO an already dirty nappy is a better option for half an hour (or however long it would take you to get her home) than paper towels but maybe IABU there, I have 3 DC and nappies are changed ASAP but if a similar situation happened to me they child would be changed at home when we got there.

Also, FWIW through 3 DC I have never run out of nappies. I consider my changing bag fully stocked when there's 6+ nappies in there. YOu never know how many you need or when another less organised mum will ask you to help them out

[shrieks like a girl at the sight of Thunderduck in woad and runs for the hills]

It's not going to kill a baby to sit on some paper towels for a wee while.

nae wean ever died from a jobbie nappy or sat upon paper towel

So if I get a really desperate chocolate craving is it ok to ask in thorntons for a free handout because I can't afford the full box? Or pop into the pub for a free swig of gin?

oh lord this thread is turning into a scary cross between Irvine Welsh and Rachel Cusk.

voilet, great one! that's one i need to try: hi, i'm having a rough day and i could really use a drink, gies a shot of talisker, aye?

rachel who?does she expect freebies too

PMSL at the last post!

Enterstage, don't you accept the commercial argument then?

I would like to know what on earth you had fed your DC to warrant 3 nappy changes in a short shopping trip!

"The commercial arguement"?

< passes expat a large G&T >

Enter i will obviously be going out better stocked in future.
I did rather she sat on paper towels as she suffers from very bad eczema so that with loose stools doesn't help tbh!

Violet not at all, but not surte a chocolate craving is akin to a baby with a soiled nappy tbh!
However i am not a great lover of chocolate so maybe i am wrong!

Cheers, Bitof. Next shout's on me. I'll do my best at the bar and see if I can get it for free .

That's just reminded me of a few weeks ago when I was in Yo Sushi and this rather disheveled woman sauntered in and started picking bits of sushi off the belt and shoving them into her mouth, just one off each plate that went past. She was obviously a regular as the staff all knew her and led her off very kindly (she was singing hymns to herself) but she was about 6 or 8 pieces ahead of the game before they managed to get rid of her .
