    Or ring round a few places in the jewellery quarter in Brum?

    I don't fancy your chances of getting much of answer tonight I think the Jewellery Quarter is shutting early.

  • Have you tried your local independant chemist ? They may have some

    I've tried loads of different chemists but they all look at me blankly and ask what it is! Boots have said they can order it in but there isn't time now. Looked up the borax cones and that seems like a good back up plan, I've also found that dripak have a few end-of-line Borax packets left and have emailed them to ask if I can drive over tomorrow and pick them up (they are based in Derbyshire, so not far really).

    Feel a bit more hopeful now...thanks ever so much guys

    meds - where are you and how much do you need?. I'm in south cheshire and my husband works in Derbyshire and I have just short of half a pack which I would gladly give you but it's only a small amount, about 250g?
    If you can't get it sorted you are very welcome to what I have.

    OMG you would be a lifesaver! Im in Shirley, Solihull and I think 250g would be enough until my order arrives as I am making up borax solution with it! How would we go about this? I can travel to pick it up so can go to your hubby's work if he is ok with that if we are not en route....can I pm you with some details? Thank you thank you thank you!!!
