I know it’s not an AIBU but it’s urgent, I’m absolutely gutted.
I have just returned from holiday with my DM and DD and whilst we were there I fell in love with a wooden duck with pink boots painted on and a little scarf around it’s neck. My DM brought the duck as a little surprise for me and I adore it. However Sad my daughters dad has just come to visit my DD and he threw this duck at me and it’s smashed to bits and it’s totally unfixable. Can anybody help me find another one before my DM notices? I’ll post a picture of the said duck albeit smashed to bits.

BTW, my DD never saw or heard anything. His temper is the reason we are not together.

I have a different one from the dcuks . The one with the deep pink wellies is called Tom . If you want I could try and get you one from the shop I got mine in .
They are cute

The style of the duck is called a Balinese duck but I can't find any with pink boots with blue polka dots.

Worth a try do all different colours and styles

OP I live in Cornwall and one of the villages a bit across from me sells these exact duckies! They're slightly different from the dcuk ones.
If there's no luck from pp above at the Devon holiday park I'll take a trip over to the shops and see if I can grab you one Smile

Also, what a tosser Angry

peachweach · 20/06/2021 00:40

Oops only meant the one angry face!

MoominFeatures · 20/06/2021 00:45

This thread is outrageous. OP you don’t deserve this shit.

Lilymossflower · 20/06/2021 02:01

Don't have any advice on the duck unfortunately. But reading the posts I thought I would mention that the police have a yellow card with a number on it that can get you an emergency court order if you want one. That would stop him from being able to come to your house. Sounds like a difficult situation, hope you get the duck sorted.

Rosehip10 · 20/06/2021 02:51

These sort of threads make me angry and sad, as a PP said, it's never their stuff is it.

Please let us know if one of the kind posters who thing they may be able to locate you one gets result!

AdaThorne · 20/06/2021 09:50

@OneMamaAndHerGirl Ive sent you a PM (I think, I’ve never done one before!).

Hope there is some duck resolution today. This is really the loveliest thing about Mumsnet.

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 20/06/2021 13:55

I just found him, coincidently at the garden centre I'm at in hassocks

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 20/06/2021 13:55

It's £25.99

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 20/06/2021 13:56

Oh no his dots are different. Sorry OP

OccasionallyFlagging · 20/06/2021 14:39

You could get your Dad to glue it back together, then add bandages over the broken bits and tell your DD it got broken by accident when it fell on the floor, but you love it and still want to keep it.

mrsbyers · 20/06/2021 15:43

These bastards always seem to target someone special and personal , for me it was a pair of cheap sunglasses that (unusually for me) I’d found suited my face perfectly - last straw after years of abuse and damage to the house etc

glitterelf · 20/06/2021 15:48

@OneMamaAndHerGirl I'm currently in Devon and had a market stall today visiting its back on Wednesday if you would like me to pick you one up Smile

Oooh how exciting, that’s definitely the one!!
glitterelf · 20/06/2021 16:32

Internet here's shit but I'll keep checking back when I can and I'm happy to buy and post Smile

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 20/06/2021 16:33

Oh yes the scarf!
The one in Hassocks didn't have a scarf either.

Dang, I was so close! 😂

Thelnebriati · 20/06/2021 16:43

How much detail would your Mum actually notice?

Jigglywobbly · 20/06/2021 16:50

@glitterelf it looks like the one !

Rosehip10 · 20/06/2021 16:54

@glitterelf That looks identical. Down to the style of boots and blue ribbon. Let's hope @OneMamaAndHerGirl sees this!

glitterelf · 20/06/2021 17:02

I had my eyes on them earlier and was pure luck I had five mins on here and this was the first thread I clicked on so let's hope she see it's Grin

DogsSausages · 20/06/2021 17:14
