OB's umbrella?

alyj66, 7 June, 2014 at 21:06 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 23

Just wondering if OB's umbrella is still doing the rounds? I would love to have temporary custody if anyone knows where it is?

    I had my name down on the thread too but wouldn't get it on time now Smiley sad

    I'm sure Pugsley was due to get it before me but I don't think it even got to her hadn't seen it move on for a while!

    I've had a quick read through the last thread and just can't work out who had it last. Your name was definitely down MM3 but who had it last?

    We may have to have a new magic unbrella Smiley sad

    I asked for it but it never got to me (I can't remember anyone past gnashers but there may have been others)

    MM3 - I have one of those silver heart shaped ones that I used on my day. It might not be as nice as ob's as I remember but happy to send it special delivery tomorrow and it should arrive in time if you want it? Not offended if you don't! :-)

    Sorry just see this!

    Aww ladies you're all so lovely - this is why I prefer you lot to most people I know haha ❤️

    DCM - That would be fab if you could do that - i'll give you ££ for it & postage and could pass it on after me and start up the trend again if that's ok with everyone else here? Smiley laugh

    You're all too kind!

    Ah don't be silly, fb message me your address and I'll sort it tomorrow lunch x hopefully we''ll track down ob's one to keep the tradition going but as it won't turn up in time for you, at least you have one from a hitcher.

    i've just spotted a teeny mark on it but not noticeable. It's like this: sti'll won't be offended if you don't want it but if you do, I'll post tomorrow!

    Oh DCM that's so kind! I was looking at places I could get one local but that's nice, I've not seen a silver heart one before. But did it bring you luck, was it dry ?!

    I've not been here too long but never heard of this what's the original story? I'm guessing a older forum member had a wedding brolly that somebody wanted to borrow and it went from there?

    Haha that's the only problem :-) it did rain, BUT it was forecast to tip it down ALL day, and it only rained for a little while after the ceremony, then gorgeous blue skies for the photos.

    Ok I'll take a lucky brolly that half works over rain all day!!! Would you mind if I borrowed it after MM3 (it would also force her to meet an Otter!) then I can send back to you? x

    Atb of couse that's fine! And no need to send it back, I've got no use for it now, I'm hardly gonna rock up town with a giant heart shaped umbrella any time soon!

    Hopefully ob's might turn up in time for yours but at least this way mm3 gets a (half) lucky brolly! Eta - and if it doesn't turn up, I'm more than happy for mine to be used.

    Gnashers has said she's really sorry and completely forgot to post it to pugsley. When's she's back off holiday, she'll come back on here and sort out getting it to the next bride ASAP.

    Thanks canary!! We haven't seen pugsley around lately. I was worried she was hiding in shame behind it!

    Does the brolly work on snow too? If so can I put my name on the list for ANY lucky brolly. Even a teensy bit lucky would do. If there is snow it might cause problems getting to the venue with it being in t'hills and all that. Ooh and the silver one would work perfectly with my theme. :-)
