A plea for help in finding this Maileg Mouse!

I can't bear it any longer!
DD7 lost her dear, much loved Maileg Mouse on our camping trip last year in France. She broke her heart and even tonight, we had some tears (she's also tired and strung out with tonsillitis, so very much run down). I've attempted many times to find a replacement online but no luck. They do still sell them, but with varying themes and styles.

DD's mouse looks very much like this one, but a browny mouse with brown/faun clothes instead of pink. I've searched everywhere and my only hope really is ebay so I keep checking. The other hope is that someone out there has one that's sitting and not really adored, and is willing to sell it to me!

I love the update. I feel all sparkly. Wow, magic. I think printing this out for your daughter to see when she is older is a super idea. Happy.

So happy. Still sobbing.

Just read this thread from start to finish. What a fabulously, heart warming, happy ending tale.

I feel all fuzzy inside! Smile

Goosebumps. I have goosebumps.

What a fantastic story, am so pleased for your DD. definitely not crying

A truly brilliant response from everyone involved in the mouse's journey home but most particularly Fabia. Awesome.

GoofyIsACow · 13/05/2013 07:43

What an amazing story!

not crying honestly

SpecialAgentTattooedQueen · 13/05/2013 07:29

Weepy

What a magical experience for DD. And when she's older, she'll always remember how much her mum loved her on that very special night!

Tortoiseonthehalfshell · 13/05/2013 07:18

I'm another teary one. Esme, your DD just going and taking Matilda into another room to sit quietly on her own just makes me dissolve. That's a girl who knows how to feel things you have there.

Bobolbach · 13/05/2013 07:08

Oh dear, I appear to be sobbing into my breakfast.
What a lovely tale.

LittleEsme · 13/05/2013 06:39

Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

I started watching this thread a little while ago in the hopes of seeing a happy ending, and here it is.

We only get one childhood, and the OP and the lovely people who helped out have made it magical for her DD. You sound like a lovely mum OP Flowers
