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

[Bicnod]

Posting here for traffic because I am clearly not BU

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

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

If new Floffle is a little plumper, I wonder if Father Christmas could say he's been feeding him well at the North Pole? Father Christmas isn't known for his svelteness!

Well, it seems that "floffel" means different things to different people shock

Sounds like I'm using the wrong search engine - all I got was vegetarian Arabic food.

Lovinglola that's awful!

Best thread ever! One for Classics? I've got such a warm fuzzy feeling imagining that little girl's face Xmas morning. Proper Xmas magic!

E-mail the company. Try find Chief Exec name and address for his attention. No doubt a lesser being will deal with but will want CE to be seen as compassionate. Offer to pay plus postage! Plead, plead plead.

Read the whole thread, Manic :)

Such happy news can't wait for the update

Pure brilliant joy

Omg! This is just like Toy Story 3 all over again 😢

Bonkerz truly lovely!

I am so glad you managed to find one, this thread has restored my faith in humanity. My daughter has a little teddy that she takes everywhere with her, she says he is her best friend, she would be devastated of she lost it. I remember running around a village near us like a madman trying to find him.

Love this, hoping for updates 😍

Oh my - this thread!!!!!!

People are so blooming lovely!!!!!

We totally had one of these, but I think I threw it out a while back. Will have a look just in case!!

This whole thread is MN at its very best, and shows people at their best too.

@Bicnod @Flofflemama @Bonkerz ... it’s all so lovely and it would be amazing to see a pic of a very happy little lady reunited.

Merry Christmas everyone

This is so nice

They used to sell this make of teddies in Twycross zoo as my son has the penguin. I don't know if they still have them though. Good luck.

Flofflemama

Just think of us all as your DD's Sweary Godmothers

So glad that Christmas at Chez Floffle will be filled with joy.

I do agree that we need a Medal Emoticon.

In its absence, Bonkerz - On behalf of all at Mumsnet, I award you

(and bar)

May God bless you, and all who sail in you!

You must have got "falafel" Brotherphil

Vair naine but not a flannel pinneped.

Awesome, just awesome. Am welling up reading this thread.

OOh Flofflemama. Nice to meet you . I bet you can´t wait for Christmas to come!

Such a happy ending.

I said before but you missed it - I think you need to buy the little girl the book "Tatty Ratty"
www.penguin.co.uk/ladybird/books/1004985/tatty-ratty/

It is the story of a toy rabbit who is lost. The little girl is heartbroken. They look everywhere- no luck. But the rabbit is coming home - a series of steps that make it look cleaner, buttons back on where they were missing, whiter fur ... etc etc... (as will happen as HER seal is used) ... then the rabbit is reunited with the little girl and we all cry (well I do when reading it).

Here are some from ebay, not sure about the size

And two more... good luck

@YouDancin that sounds lovely

Just realised you found one, l was in a hurry trying to find it so didn’t read the whole thread...brilliant news! Hope she’ll be thrilled!
