MUMSNET HELP! Jelly Cat Kangaroo

63 replies

JellyCatKangaroo · 05/07/2023 20:32

IABU asking but I've heard how good mumsnet is at this kind of thing. Has anyone got a spare baby jelly cat kangaroo they could let us have? I doubt we can locate the original. I'm Happy to pay p&p etc.

A precious jelly cat baby kangaroo has skipped off and is missing in Yorkshire when it should be back home in Scandinavia with it's loving distraught owner! Photos attached. Story below.

Family visited me from abroad for a long family weekend after I'd been extremely ill - itt was fantastic and just what I needed.

But, a very busy parent trying to keep the little ones safe whilst juggling suitcase, kiddies backpacks, her back pack and getting on the train and back to the airport lost sight of baby kangaroo.

I notified lost property immediately and have been down I think person less than 24h after and they've been useless.

Can anyone help?

Actually, MN is very much the place to ask if someone has a replacement for a much loved soft toy.

I've sent one to a poster before, complete with photos explaining where he's been and of him having a bath to explain the cleanness.

Not everyone is grumpy and nasty.

Quite! Such a sad and suspicious way to live your life. Well done Narwal!

Well this is AIBU and not a begging forum so there is that. So how about you take your little posts and direct the OP to the appropriate section for begging.

@JellyCatKangaroo tagging you so you see my post above.

Thank you, I found that and my daughter bid on it but was too much as she only needs the baby (and she'd have to pay 20%vat to ship to EU). It was lovely of you to take time to look for us.

@NomadicNarwhal

You are lovely.

She certainly is, and also understood the situation well.

I have thanked her for her kindness and understanding and also explained why my post was badly worded.

Imagine the plot twist if OP now comes back and asks for a kidney 😆

Isn't it just. Thank you Narwhal

And I will not be taking advantage of her very kind offer and I will be fully reimbursing her, sad the vipers got it so wrong this time.

Never mind, there will be someone else they can pick at soon, so, at.least they can spend.even more time wasting cynically poking apart people's posts.

Thanks for the lovely PM.

I'm afraid I draw the line at a kidney though.... ;)
