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

Could he have a mini suitcase or haversack round his fins with small presents for her inside from his travels? And a tiny tiny diary with where's he's been?

Overinvested, moi?

Love the letter Xmas SmileXmas Grin

TheSassyAssassin · 19/12/2017 16:52

Oh that is brilliant! Xmas Smile My DD sent a pleading letter to Father Christmas after her beanie cat was washed by Grandma and the inside went mouldy (it stunk!) ...
She also sent said toy in parcel along with letter to the North Pole ... she got a lovely reply back signed by the man himself and her "wow it's just like new" toy returned after a few weeks. He's a miracle worker really! Xmas Grin

SeaEagleFeather · 19/12/2017 15:17
