Unashamed bump

Thanks

Bimblepops · 29/09/2013 20:44

I'm off to NY in four weeks, is that any good to you?

Could probably get a friend in the US to buy it and then I can maybe bring it back or post it back when I'm there...

Thanks

PurplePillow · 29/09/2013 21:01

That's a fantastic offer Bimplepops can I let you know just incase we can get one a wee bit sooner? I really don't mean to sound ungrateful and I'm not I'm actually really touched that you would do that for me

Would you be allowed to bring it back with you? Don't want to make your trip harder

Thanks

TrinityRhino · 29/09/2013 21:11

I'd be happy to order it for you, have it sent to my PO Box in the States (I live very close to the US border) and post it off for you.
I'm trustworthy - you can check with Chaos :)

Thanks

laraeo · 30/09/2013 01:19

I'm in the US, northern Virginia, and would be able to order one, no problem. Just let me know.

Thanks

Jacksmania · 30/09/2013 01:30

I think they went to sleep. :)
Well, two offers to help will make a nice surprise tomorrow morning .

Thanks

laraeo · 30/09/2013 01:47

I do believe you're right! We're busy watching the Patriots and Falcons game. Go Pats!

Thanks

SconeRhymesWithGone · 30/09/2013 01:55

I can be back-up if needed. I live in Florida. I would be happy to help.

Thanks

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 30/09/2013 02:34

Just back in from school run and wow

So many kind offers

Can you pm me your name and addresses so I know where to post it to please and we can sort it out via that
Again thank you all
MN ROCKS

Thanks

PurplePillow · 30/09/2013 19:51

Hey guys, I got your pm's thank you

I would be happy for any of you to help me but what would be easiest for you as in who is closest to a burlingtons coat factory?

Also would it be easier for me to buy it and get it delivered to you and you post onto me or you buy and post and i transfer money via paypal?

thanks

Thanks

SconeRhymesWithGone · 30/09/2013 20:36

Purple, I am very close to a store; I just called them and they have two in stock. I am sending you another PM.

Thanks

PurplePillow · 30/09/2013 22:22

Hi laraeo, yes thank you all for your kind offers of help.

Sconerhymeswithgone has been wonderful enough to get "Minnie" for me but i cannot say thank you enough for all your lovely offers of help

MN really is an amazing place filled with lots of lovely people (not hairy truckers)
