To harness the power of Mumsnet to make a little girl's Christmas...

Posting here for traffic because I am clearly not BU Xmas Wink

My friend's DD has lost her beloved Floffel. Floffel is her seal cuddly toy from babyhood and will never be found again as Floffel was lost overseas.

Friend's DD has written to Father Christmas asking for Floffel back. Nothing else on the list - just Floffel.

They don't effing make Floffel anymore Xmas Shock Xmas Sad Xmas Confused

Friend's DD as been through the wringer lately - can't go into details as would be outing but suffice to say she could really really do with a boost.

Please please please wonderful people of Mumsnet - if you happen to have an Aurora Naturally seal like the one in the photo hanging around your house (it's flannel not plush apparently and has the word 'naturally' on its bum) that you'd be willing to sell/give away it would truly honestly make this little girl's Christmas.

TIA Flowers

@ImMeMe Flowers for you too. Would be fab if you could still check just in case, but only if it's not a monumental hassle. I'm thinking a back up floffel would be no bad thing!!!!

I'm going to be grinning all day now Xmas Grin

DD3 has a rabbit and he was lost a few times over the years thankfully always found again but oh I know the heartache.

LostInTheTunnelOfGoats · 14/12/2017 07:36

I skipped to the end just to see if a replacement Floffel was found because I couldn't bear to read further than page 1 otherwise.

Going to read the whole thing now. Grin

Hooray!

thelastredwinegum · 14/12/2017 07:42

If anyone is good at photoshop could they do pics of Floffel in various places around the world to tell the story of it's travels while it's been missing?

MrsMotherHen · 14/12/2017 07:42

Lovely news!!!!! He needs a holiday postcard with him all wrapped up.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 14/12/2017 07:43

How good would it be if Floffel hadn't been lost, but had gone to rescue her twin sister, missing since birth.

MissWimpyDimple · 14/12/2017 07:43

Am all teary. How fab.

I can - if the OP wants to PM me I'll give them an email address they can send the photos to. Let me know OP what countries your friend's DD would like.
