Mumsnet Talk

Have you tried Ebay?
Ds lost his bear a while ago. Luckily we found it but I managed to find another one on Ebay, just in case.

Its always worth a look.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look.

No luck on ebay . I'll have to keep trying. Maybe we'll be able to find a close substitute.

Have you got a picture?

Is the (fabric) label still on it? Does it have any kind of code etc?

I've put a picture up on this thread now, but it may not be visible on a mobile (I can't see it on mine).

As far as I can remember it just had Sainbury's label on. I'm really annoyed with myself. I thought it was tucked in beside her in the buggy.

have you tried e-mailing sainburys?

Not the same Any good?

I did think about it, but being the negative person that I am, I decided they would tell me that they don't have any.

I will email them tomorrow.

Thanks all for taking the time to read this.

Thanks for the link Spanky. I may have to buy a substitute if I can't find another one like the original.

I've just seen something on Facebook about re-uniting childhood faves so will check that out.

Nonono, you must email them.

Did you not hear about Sainsbury's renaming Tiger Bread Giraffe Bread after an email from a 3 yo?

They sound lovely in their HQ customer services.

Email them!

I will definitely email them. I'll sign it from 2yo LittleKate

YY! Make them feel guilty enough to go and search through all their old stock!

If you google Sainsburys Toy Buyer there is a name that comes up (won't put it on here), so you can email the buyer directly. Their addresses are first.last@sainsburys.co.uk.

HTH, they will be delighted they are stocking toys that Kids love.

Pm me if you can't find the name. I also know the old toys buyer.

I must try Baker Street lost property too, but last time I lost something on the tube ( one of DD's brand new shoes ) they didn't have it. I think you have to wait a week or so after the loss.

Thanks Sooty.

You're all so kind.

Lets, I work reasonably close to Baker St so if you want I could go and check/look for you if you want. Let me know.

I've found the name and will email her now.

Well, that didn't work. I'm on my mobile and can't remember the code for flowers. [thankyou] ?

Thanks Val. I will keep you posted.

I love mumsnet.

No problem at all. Honestly, would be no problem at all.

DS won a pink small rabbit from a grabby machine a couple of weeks ago which he is willing to donate - could it be purple rabbit's cousing that has come for a visit until purple rabbit turns up?

That's such a kind thought. I thought about telling a story along those lines. If Sainsbury's can't help I may take you up on your offer.

I must get some sleep now. I was so tired at work on Monday that I reached for the calculator to multiply something by 10. Yes I did.

Good night and thanks so much for your help.

Hello all,

I'm at work so no time to PM at the mo. I'm sitting here crying happy tears. Sainsbury's have just emailed to say that the supplier is going to make another rabbit for my DD. Thank you all so much.

I will PM later just in case you don't see this.

That is absolutely lovely news

How wonderful of Sainsburys! Good for them.

Aww! How lovely!

Aaahhhh!! So nice to read something uplifting!

How lovely of Sainsburys, good for them! Glad your DD will get her rabbit back
