Help please! I need a miracle

Help me!!! Please.

my daughter asked for a “singing santa Christmas” last year and I bought her this from Aldi. It dances and plays “Santa Claus is coming to town”.

it was her favourite present by a mile. She danced around it most of Christmas Day then took to sleeping with it in her bed. Then she took it to nursery and a friend dropped it and it broke. 😩

Her letter to Santa this year asked for another one and apologised for breaking the last one. It’s the only thing she wants. I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find one the same (she’s autistic so a different one will not do). She’s 4 and really believes Father Christmas is magical so it will break her heart if I can’t find a way to replace him!

I have taken him to a repair café and a friend who is an electrician and they can’t fix him. 😔 Circuit board bust, apparently.

So my Christmas plea is that please, please if anybody owns one of these, can I buy it from you? I am hoping thay by a miracle a mumsnetter might have one they are prepared to part with to make DD’s Christmas wish come true.

I’ve got one of these pain in the arse things if you need a backup at any point! I’ll be glad to see the back of the annoying sod 🤣

Not me, scrolling mumsnet at 0330hrs, tears streaming down my face. Not at all. Ahem.

How truly lovely is this thread ❤️

Always4Brenner · 13/12/2022 09:09

So glad I posted yesterday tomorrow they’re on strike again also a friend saw me on the bus and showed where the post office was so this miracle has definitely been blessed. I’ll go and track now.

Always4Brenner · 13/12/2022 09:13

It’s safe all out for delivery thrilled. 😊

Namechangenumber23 · 13/12/2022 10:24

This is just amazing! I'm so pleased for your daughter OP and @Always4Brenner you are an absolute star!
Also how amazing that you've had others offered too.

Thank you to the PP who posted the mouse story link. I was absolutely balling by the end and the bonus update years later from the OP was everything!

Hope everyone has a really Happy Christmas

@Always4Brenner
Well done lovely. It isn't nothing, you have gone to the post office and gone out your way for a stranger. You are a good samaritan - you have restored my faith in human nature Xxx

Exactly this. And out in this awful weather! We will never forget your kindness, especially when he's playing non-stop on Christmas Day! 😁
