So I remember the awesomeness of mumsnet and the maileg toy in a box thread that resulted in a happy ending!

Well here I am asking for my own mumsnet miracle.

My daughter loves her soft toys and really only ask for them as toys. Before I used to despair that she esp. favoured a cheap H&M deer toy over her gorgeous mailegs, but here I am begging that Twinkle comes back.

Since she got her, twinkle and my daughter have been Inseparable. She sleeps with her, goes on every outing and even gets smuggled to school sometimes. There is also a tradition that she goes on every holiday and get a pic with her that goes in the scrapbook.

We came back from Stockholm last week without Twinkle. My daughter is crying a bit everyday. I feel so bad. Self isolating so I can’t even distract her. She stuck at home watching tv and something will always trigger her.

I contacted H&M but they didn’t email me a reply.

They toy is not dear or fancy but to my daughter she is priceless.

I have attached a pic of Twinkle. Can anyone help?
I think finding the original is impossible and she understands this.

Please please help me find Twinkle!

Yes yes this is her !!! THANK YOU MUMSNET
We ordered her a couple of days ago and she just came home to find her here.

Hubby is working from home as and so the collective screams of joy from all of us were probably heard in the next village 😂

What a lovely ending.

My DN once lost his toy fox in Oakhampton and an amzing Mumsnetter tracked it down, took its holiday photos for DN and posted it home... she even sent it tracked so it wouldn't get a chance to slip away again. DN still takes it everywhere Smile

MJMG2015 · 05/10/2020 16:33

Aww bless. Live a happy Endung 🌷

WhatWouldJKRDo · 05/10/2020 16:38

I’m delighted!
We once lost Bear for 4 days and I swear I’d have sacrificed a limb to get him back.

PaulineScrambledPhones · 05/10/2020 16:43

Awesome! I love a happy ending!

kasho5 · 05/10/2020 16:47

We left RooRoo in Stafford services years ago - I'll forget a) the sinking feeling when I realised that we had lost him and b) the sheer relief when I managed to track down a phone for the services and someone had found him.

FuzzyPuffling · 05/10/2020 16:51

HURRAH! Such a happy ending. :)

(My son had such a precious toy as a child it had it's own "seat belt" and was safety pinned to a human at all times! He's still got it (aged 34))
