Guest Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 One small, blue, wellington boot. Red sole. Size 5. Last seen in Waitrose car park, but they can't find it. We are thinking it may have hopped away on a tour of the country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I can imagine it now: "Greetings from Gloucester. Called in to see Doctor Foster. Went out and stepped in some puddles. Not likely to visit again.....". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Oh bless, I remember toddler size 5's, I wrote a poem about them. A stranded wellie, how sad, and frustrating for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Needless to say that the 20-month-old owner of the Wellington boot is heartbroken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Oh no, that's so sad. If we'd still got all the boys old wellies, I'd send you a pair but we put them in charity bags as they were almost immaculate as their feet grew so quickly. Hugs to the bereft 20 month old. I know how he's feeling . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 If I had £1 for every shoe Esme had lost we'd be able to afford a new pair from Clarkes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I've got an old pair of size 5's that are too wee for my lot now - you can have them. The only thing is, they are pink. By the time they've splashed in a few mud puddles they'd be fine tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 That's very kind of you Shona, but I don't think he would agree to wear pink. I'll mention it to him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Or I have a splendid pair of 'frogingtons', size 7, no longer required - a couple of pairs of socks and you'd be laughing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Southern softies - my lot get sheets of cardboard strapped to their feet when it rains.... Isn't cardboard a bit extravagent Shona, if it gets soggy you may not be able to re-use it! Is it a left or right one? Maybe we could send you a left (or of course right) wellie to compensate for the loss.Lets just hope everybody doesn't do this, or you'll have 1000 left wellies Can't he hop?

That lost boot will never be forgotten, for the rest of his life. There may be long lasting emotional scars, not to mention long lasting car park searches. So, don't worry, Grd, we'll be here to help when it's all too much for you. I'm sure the little chap will comfort you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
