Help - drowned...

Toys - The nursery at newburn riverside flooded in Thursdays deluge.
Kids were evacuated to the ambulance centre and safety but the toys haven't been so lucky. Popped in today to see if I could help with the continuing cleanup and it seems a large amount if stuff is not salvageable. All the soft furnishings, cushions, rugs etc have gone and so have a lot of toys especially from the baby room. I've done an ikea shop and raided the loft but it's not much so can I ask local mums if they have any spare stuff as it would be gratefully received. Please let me know.
Many thanks

I may be able to help you! We're moving house soon ds has a birthday in sept and I have some old toys and books of ds you can have if you like. It may take me a day or two to sort them out. I have no idea where in Newcastle you are but maybe we could meet near Durham which is half way for me. GrinGrinGrin

Your welcome to them!
