What a amazing gesture!

Oops, bad title! Obviously should be 'What an amazing gesture'!

Good to hear.

How lovely.

You should name the store, AshTree, we are allowed to post recommendations and positive (or even negative) experiences of retail outlets on here!

Yes, Ana I thought about doing that, but then wondered if it might have been something that the staff member took upon himself to do, without authority. I'd hate to get him into trouble. On the other hand, of course, they do have to account for their stock. But even so, just in case...

Oh dear, I never thought of that! You're right, of course.

I'd love to go into the shop and ask if we're allowed to shout it to the world - on here, on Facebook and so on. But then supposing I ask the wrong staff member and he still gets in trouble? Shame, because I'd love to applaud the store publicly. I'd love to get in touch with their head office and congratulate them on their humanity and caring touch. It's a difficult one, isn't it?

ash it is, because it is for your daughter to decide.

Maybe they all chipped in to cover the cost?

But in the meanwhile for the staff of that store.

Oh yes, Grannyknot it is her decision, and that's why I won't name them because she was reluctant to! Saying I'd love to go in and talk to them etc, was really my little fantasy but I'd never do it - that's for my DD to do, if anyone. It's just a mum thing - you know, when someone is kind to your kids, you just want to thank them!

Uplifting story

Ah. There are good people in the world! Sometimes it helps to have a story like that to remind ourselves. thanks Ash. Good start to the morning. Good luck to your DD. I see on another thread she was getting nervous. Hope all goes well. My DD1 is expecting her 3rd in 3 weeks. Old hand at it now!

ash you're so right ... we are happy because someone has done something that's made one of our kids happy

And, I meant to say "well known beauty and cosmetics store" can only be ot* or ued*u

Oops all the asterisks I put in were of course interpreted by the software as meaning bold! Will leave the guessing up to others now

Grannyknot I am utterly confused by your middle comment above, asterisks notwithstanding. 'ot or ued u'? . Am I just being thick (par for the course!)

Thanks Judthepud2. Yes, poor DD is feeling a bit wobbly, but she's seeing her obstetrician on Wednesday who will hopefully calm her down. Good luck to your DD also

ashtree I'm glad your daughter got a nice treat.

-o-t- or -u-e-d-u- (

(Substituting dashes for letters for the name of the shop, excepting above I used asterisks, which GN forum software interpreted as bold!)

Hope this helps and for the confusion

Ah, I'm with you Grannyknot . But no, neither of those

It was one of those that make natural products, very ethical and eco-friendly, and everything smells absolutely divine!
Not T-e B-d- S-o-

I've got it!

... I think
