A plea for help in finding this Maileg Mouse!

[LittleEsme]

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!

Yay! Thanks Rowan

Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

I started watching this thread a little while ago in the hopes of seeing a happy ending, and here it is.

We only get one childhood, and the OP and the lovely people who helped out have made it magical for her DD. You sound like a lovely mum OP

Perfect, just perfect

Another sniveling wreck here. Magical story created by warm and wonderful people

Thanks everyone again.

And we've made it onto MN Classics. lol.

Oh dear, I appear to be sobbing into my breakfast.
What a lovely tale.

I'm another teary one. Esme, your DD just going and taking Matilda into another room to sit quietly on her own just makes me dissolve. That's a girl who knows how to feel things you have there.

Weepy

What a magical experience for DD. And when she's older, she'll always remember how much her mum loved her on that very special night!

What an amazing story!

not crying honestly

What a fantastic story, am so pleased for your DD. definitely not crying

A truly brilliant response from everyone involved in the mouse's journey home but most particularly Fabia. Awesome.

Goosebumps. I have goosebumps.

Another one in tears here, what a fantastic thread. Makes me feel all warm inside.

Just read this thread from start to finish. What a fabulously, heart warming, happy ending tale.

I feel all fuzzy inside!

So happy. Still sobbing.

I love the update. I feel all sparkly. Wow, magic. I think printing this out for your daughter to see when she is older is a super idea. Happy.

I read the whole thread in bed this morning, was blubbing like a baby when dh woke up! What a wonderful tale, do print out and keep it, she sounds like a lovely dd and you a wonderful mummy

Great story, sobbing now..

Tears here too! What a lovely, lovely story!

This thread had rolled off my 'threads I'm on' page so I just thought to search for the terms today.

Now I'm in floods of tears. Lovely lovely lovely story.

I'm so happy for you all, OP.

This is just awesome. Thanks for letting me read it. Properly choked up!

Aww. I just read the whole thread and may have had a tear or ten in my eye.

LittleEsme you and your dd sound fab. to all the mn-ers who helped, what a lovely story :)

What a beautiful, amazing story.

Awww what a lovely thread. I love the idea of a mouse diary. That's brilliant stuff.

I was going to recommend getting Maileg from here but all's well that ends well.
