A plea for help in finding this Maileg Mouse!

I can't bear it any longer!
DD7 lost her dear, much loved Maileg Mouse on our camping trip last year in France. She broke her heart and even tonight, we had some tears (she's also tired and strung out with tonsillitis, so very much run down). I've attempted many times to find a replacement online but no luck. They do still sell them, but with varying themes and styles.

DD's mouse looks very much like this one, but a browny mouse with brown/faun clothes instead of pink. I've searched everywhere and my only hope really is ebay so I keep checking. The other hope is that someone out there has one that's sitting and not really adored, and is willing to sell it to me!

This should definitely go in Classics as proof that MN is not a nest of vipers and that we are all very soppy

kneedeepindaisies · 11/05/2013 22:08

Strike out fail Hmm

LittleEsme · 11/05/2013 22:08

I'm sat here marvelling at the kindness of folk here on MN. I've just checked on Matilda Mouse, and she's still clutched in the paw of my DD who's sleeping soundly.

DH, who I must add, doesn't ever tolerate small-talk, or 'niceness' or anything remotely girly or demonstrative - he's a good man, man of few words and gestures, has cried real tears about this. Real tears!! He doesn't get emotional about ANYTHING but MN has the power to move even him!!!

Again, I must thank everyone on this thread. Anyone needing any help, please make sure you call. I shall try my very best to help.

Lovely, I'm glad little mouse is "back" safe and sound!

OrchidFlakes · 11/05/2013 22:19

Oh Esme, I'm soooo happy for you and DD and that Matilda found her way home Grin

The reunion is definitely what dreams are made of. I appear to be all teary eyed Hmm

Thanks for you to making this happen for her, what a FAB mummy! xx
