We gave dd(8)’s favourite teddy (her constant companion for 5 years) to John Lewis’ Teddy Bear Repair & Refresh service before Christmas to be cleaned and mended.
It’s been lost while in their care (or technically the care of Johnson's dry cleaning and/or the courier and/or the repair centre, who are all involved with the service).
She’s been asking almost daily when her bear is coming home and I haven’t yet told her it's lost.
The exact bear isn’t available new or secondhand anywhere online.
I’m sharing in the hope that someone might recognise it, have one tucked away, or know where I might find an identical replacement.
I’ll post a photo below. Any help hugely appreciated 💛
Wanted an AIBU to get more traffic so: AIBU to think the £35 compensation the dry cleaning company has offered isn't going to cut it with my dd and I somehow need to find an identical bear?
Now wish I'd just taken it to our local Repair Cafe who would have mended it while I waited!
