Now here's the thing: the teapot is badly cracked. In fact so badly that it leaks. So I went looking for a replacement teapot.
But where would I find one? Ah, on E-bay of course!
Since I myself do not E-bay, gummihuhn did me an enormous favour by bidding on this one for me, and winning the auction for ten pounds fifty.
*insert happy dance here*
So I found one! Now, how do I get it here, in the Netherlands?
Of course, I can ask the seller to send it by mail, and if I can't think of anything else that is what I'll end up doing. But honestly I'm a bit afraid it will break on the way and I'll end up with two leaky teapots.
So I'm using my network (yes, you!) to see if there's anyone around who can lend a hand.

I'm thinking of coming over to the UK next september. It would be great if someone could collect it for me in Bournemouth, Dorset. I can pay for it by PayPal, so no money would have to change hands. Just my precious teapot.

I'm just throwing this out there, to see if anything will come up. LJ is a big world. You never know.
