To harness the power of Mumsnet to make a little girl's Christmas...

Posting here for traffic because I am clearly not BU Xmas Wink

My friend's DD has lost her beloved Floffel. Floffel is her seal cuddly toy from babyhood and will never be found again as Floffel was lost overseas.

Friend's DD has written to Father Christmas asking for Floffel back. Nothing else on the list - just Floffel.

They don't effing make Floffel anymore Xmas Shock Xmas Sad Xmas Confused

Friend's DD as been through the wringer lately - can't go into details as would be outing but suffice to say she could really really do with a boost.

Please please please wonderful people of Mumsnet - if you happen to have an Aurora Naturally seal like the one in the photo hanging around your house (it's flannel not plush apparently and has the word 'naturally' on its bum) that you'd be willing to sell/give away it would truly honestly make this little girl's Christmas.

TIA Flowers

Aww! First thing I did this morning was to make a cup of tea and sit down to read the updates.

Well done bonkerz! Your LO won´t mind?

Welshmaed - gorgeous photo.

Can´t wait for OP!

This thread is so lovely. Well done all you wonderful mumsnetters!

"Am I standing down do you think or does she need 2 floffels?"

Don't stand down, ImMeMe. How good would it be if Floffel hadn't been lost, but had gone to rescue her twin sister, missing since birth.

Eeeek!

I've just read the thread and cried!

He's got to have been helping elves, surely. Maybe someone dropped a present in the sea so he gave an elf a ride to retrieve it?

TheCraicDealer · 13/12/2017 23:44

This is so lovely! ImMeMe you should probably still go to the charity shop just in case a backup is required, I don't think OP can go through this emotional rollercoaster if Floffle decides to go on another mini break.

Now, what will Floffle's back story be?

GetYourRocksOff · 13/12/2017 23:44

What a,rollercoaster!

DancingOnParsnips · 13/12/2017 23:43

ImMeMe. Please go and get your floffel. You can’t leave him to the mercy of the shop workers now. I can bear the thought of them dispatching him...
