On the off chance that the lady who helped me today is a fellow mumsnetter I would like to thank her.

I was out with DS took him to see the ducks, half way round he had a coughing fit and was a tiny bit sick, so took him to the public toilet to clear him up a bit. (big mistake) lets just say someone had missed the toilet and decided to wipe it on the walls instead (yuk yuk) cue ds to then reach badly, I took him outside where he proceeded to throw up all over me and himself.

I went out with nothing but my key and £1 to get him a drink. This women with her pram came rushing up to me and helped me clear us both up while I must have used at least 20 wipes, before I had chance to say thanks she was gone. I was very touched by her kindness .

Ds is 3.5 and I stopped taking wipes out with me years ago, guess I will always take a bag and wipes with me. i could have learn't the hard way.

I remember seeing a little boy being sick in baggage reclaim at Gatwick. Hoards of people jus tparted round him and his mother and carried on with their busy lives. Being a fellow mother, I went up to her and gave her a handful of napkins I'd swiped from Disney World which had remained in the bottom of our pushchair. I couldn't believe the number of people who just ignored them.

Limo obviously, or maybe you have magic and instead of a carpet you fly on a lino.

Soupdragon, I know, I always stop and help if I can be of assistance, at least 10 people walked past and glared or tutted or something, he made a mess on the pavement and people were looking at it and tutting, obviously my first prority was for ds, it just makes me mad.

Now every time I pass I mum I wonder if she is a fellow mumsnetter
