Gutted at missing my son's CBeebies birthday card today!

Hi, I am probably being far too emotional about this but my son's birthday card was shown on CBeebies this afternoon and due to illness today, we missed it! I am gutted and he will be too when he finds out! If anyone recorded any programmes that caught the birthdays either on the beginning or end, I would be eternally grateful for a copy or even just a photo of it being shown! Hoping the power of the Internet will come up trumps! Xx

HungryHorace you are a real life hero!

Thank you for making me smile and for helping the other poster and their son.

Am I right in saying that you helped a previous poster with the same problem back in July? I noticed a zombie thread yesterday along these same lines Smile

Horace what a star! Nice one.

HungryHorace · 05/12/2015 12:37

I offered to help in July, Tired, but I didn't hear from that poster to be able to help. :-/

But I'll do it for anyone who misses their card as long as they let me know no more than 24 hours after it was on (and I'm at home to help!).

I'm no hero though! :-)

This just made me cry.. So lovely, well done Hungry! Xxx
Ps..to OP..I always wonder about this, whether people get to see their cards show or have to keep checking in to watch! So pleased you got to see xx

Oh well done HungryHorace. I saw a similar plea yesterday in Telly-Addicts:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/2522440-Help-Missed-CBeebies-birthday-card-1-12-15

Any chance of helping that poster (hoping the 24 hrs is not up yet)

What a lovely thread.

Hi, my daughters birthday card was shown on Tuesday Dec 1st at 12:45 between Balamory and grandpa in my pocket. Despite our best efforts technology failed us and we were unable to record it. If anyone could try and retrieve it for us that would be amazing!!! Her name is Holly and it was a Hey Duggie card. Thank you Smile

Horace

What a lovely and kind thing to do. Thanks

HungryHorace · 05/12/2015 14:57

Ah...1st is too long ago :-( It's literally 24 hours only.

Ilovecake83 · 05/12/2015 16:16

Oh well, it was worth a shot!! So many lovely out there willing to help. Makes me feel happy. Thanks anyway Smile

sadwidow28 · 05/12/2015 22:09

Someone may have it recorded on HD - keep asking OP.

I have sent a call out to my nieces/nephews via facebook.

Ilovecake83 · 05/12/2015 22:24

Thanks again sadwidow. I'm new to this so excuse my ignorance but what does OP mean?

sadwidow28 · 05/12/2015 22:56

I have put call-out on CBeebies FB page:

Calling CBeebies! I know that your TV site doesn't offer recordings of b/day cards - but surely you can help children who have missed their b/day wish on TV.

Someone on Mumsnet is looking for 1/12/2015: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/2522440-Help-Missed-CBeebies-birthday-card-1-12-15?

Ilovecake83 · 06/12/2015 09:48

Thanks sadwidow. I don't have Facebook so that's really useful. Fingers crossed!!Smilexx

Maxilu · 06/12/2015 14:10

I hope you manage to track it down. Someone commented on another thread I started in my desperate attempt to track down my son's card and mentioned that she'd been able to get a copy from the BBC, recently I think. I've asked her for the email address so will let you know if I get it x
