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.

Yay for OP and well done @Glitterelf. Hope your Ex comes back in the next life as Bojo's jock strap

Hahaha brilliant @NigellaSeed !

Yes I totally agree with you all he’s an utter cunt, and please none of you worry he doesn’t have my daughter unsupervised if it was up to me they would have no contact. So the kitchen window will have to do! Not ideal but unfortunately that’s all we can do for now. Thank you so much for the support I’ll keep you all updated as soon as I receive the details I will get onto ordering!

@OneMamaAndHerGirl Check your private messages. Your duck could have a friend ;)

So happy youve found an identical replacement!

Brilliant!

Oh this made me cry. So much lovely duckness Grin

Good luck OP and well done vipers.

This thread was so upsetting at the start, so I'm delighted to see how well it's working out.

Well done to @glitterelf for taking the time to track down the stallholder - I don't know if you were on holiday in the area or if you are the PP who sometimes visits there for work, but either way, it was a kind thing to do and I hope the universe sends you a wee blast of happiness in return. (not sure if that's how the universe works, but it should!)

And it sounds like @AdaThorne has planned a wee extra surprise for the OP too. What a happy ending 🤗

@CarrieMoonbeams Was just pure chance as I'm on holiday there although my husband thought I was quackers Grin Men just do not understand the power of women pulling together to help one another Smile

Garbagepailgal · 24/06/2021 18:46

That’s lovely @glitterelf you are a very kind and thoughtful person 💖

Hi - does anyone have the stall holders details at all? We saw these ducks with wellies today at Haven Devon Cliffs and really wanted to buy one.

But we returned from our day trip too late. Can anyone help? Thanks

shaunjchapman · 11/07/2021 22:44

Hi would you please be able to send me these details at all? Would love to buy one. Thanks

SirVixofVixHall · 11/07/2021 23:06

Hurrah that ducky has been located. So upset for you OP. I have had the same done to me (an ex boyfriend when i was 23) and it is so distressing. Flowers

glitterelf · 12/07/2021 09:24

I've PM you @shaunjchapman Smile
