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

Posting here for traffic because I am clearly not BU

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

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

Floffle. Sigh. I feel so much happier after reading this thread. MN Miracle.

So worthy of classics!

Justmuddlingalong · 21/12/2017 20:34

I'm a snottery mess reading this. What a wonderful, uplifting, truly in the spirit of Christmas thread. Well done everyone. You have given a little girl, unknown to you, a Christmas she will never forget. and mince pies all round.

RandomMess · 21/12/2017 19:07

I followed this thread until floffle was found, the update is so exciting - can't wait for Christmas Day!!

The world can be such a scary horrible place and yesterday wasn’t a good day for me. Today has been a really lovely day and finding this thread has just topped it off.

I fucking love MN.

Floffel-ly placemarking

confusedandemployed · 21/12/2017 18:35

Argh how lovely! I saw the thread when it first started, I'm so happy to see the outcome and not placemarking at all for the big reveal

gingeristhenewblack43 · 21/12/2017 18:18

Doh just seen typo...not sure how to edit...dad should be dd...dyac!

Flofflemama · 21/12/2017 17:04

A backpack is.a brilliant idea fairfax. I will see if I can find something...

My dad wrote back to the elves last night telling them where she last saw floffle and the places he could have been. It's really sweet. Then she said to me very bravely that even if they can't find him, at least she knows she's tried everything! Sniff sniff!

FairfaxAikman · 21/12/2017 15:50

Forgot the pic!

FairfaxAikman · 21/12/2017 15:48

It may be too late, but I've got a Floffel-sized back pack!

Maybe BA lost it in transit for a bit

No, we're not crying! Just chopping onions...

We're moving this wonderful thread over to the hall of fame because, well, it's pretty fantastic and sums up what Mumsnet is all about.

Nervousrex · 21/12/2017 11:30

Betsy86 · 20/12/2017 23:10
