I bet they don't have them in as it is a summer thing. Where will sell one?

Arse arse arse arse. The annoying thing is I specifically asked the person not to do what they have done to it, oh the other annoying thing is they are completely unaware and I can't tell them without it becoming an issue so i just have to suck it up and shell out £15 for a new one.

But from where??????? help please

What area are you in?

Might be worth seeing if one of us has one you can borrow?

What's the matter with it? They do go a bit funny when the batteries are getting low, or if anything gets round the spindle thing.

Are you anywhere near a Toys r us store?

ChasingSquirrelsUpTheXmasTree · 13/12/2007 20:55

I always thought you were south coast - god knows why. We are just north of Camb if you are north essex and want to borrow.
Have you checked Argos, I am sure they did do them at one point.
And def Tesco - but might be summer.
Both cheaper than ELC.

sis · 13/12/2007 20:56

have you tried woolies? they usually have them in for Christmas.

ChasingSquirrelsUpTheXmasTree · 13/12/2007 20:57

argos have thomas or a fifi ones (at inflated prices)

Am loving the idea of needing a bubble machine for work

PrisonerCellBlockAitch · 13/12/2007 21:10

she's a clown, Tellus. it was panic on the streets of Essex during the Great Red Nose Shortage of '96. tough times.
