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

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

It may be too late, but I've got a Floffel-sized back pack!

Maybe BA lost it in transit for a bit

Forgot the pic!

A backpack is.a brilliant idea fairfax. I will see if I can find something...

My dad wrote back to the elves last night telling them where she last saw floffle and the places he could have been. It's really sweet. Then she said to me very bravely that even if they can't find him, at least she knows she's tried everything! Sniff sniff!

Doh just seen typo...not sure how to edit...dad should be dd...dyac!

Yay! Floffle's thread made classics! My life is complete

Merry Christmas everyone

That should obviously have been

Just rtft, how absolutely amazing blatantly placemarking for the Christmas update!

Argh how lovely! I saw the thread when it first started, I'm so happy to see the outcome and not placemarking at all for the big reveal

Floffel-ly placemarking

The world can be such a scary horrible place and yesterday wasn’t a good day for me. Today has been a really lovely day and finding this thread has just topped it off.

I fucking love MN.

I followed this thread until floffle was found, the update is so exciting - can't wait for Christmas Day!!

This is just the thread I needed to read today. You are all blooming marvellous

I'm a snottery mess reading this. What a wonderful, uplifting, truly in the spirit of Christmas thread. Well done everyone. You have given a little girl, unknown to you, a Christmas she will never forget. and mince pies all round.

So worthy of classics!

Floffle. Sigh. I feel so much happier after reading this thread. MN Miracle.

This is making me as excited for Christmas as giving my own family it's amazing lol. Mumsnet really can be amazing.

Floffle=

It's like Flofflemass this year

I've just found this, what a lovely thread

So who else is planning to head straight here when they wake up Christmas morning "hang on a minute DC mummy just needs to check something on her phone and then we will see if santa has been"

Awww! I too have the floffle love
I think Floffle should be the new MN word for a warm fuzzy feeling it's certianly better than the arsehole based definition

((Sobbing))

I saw a floffle go past sitting on the parcel shelf of a car! I so hope it was a fellow MNer showing some Christmas solidarity love!
My DH didn’t know why I got so excited at the back of a car

This is just lovely! So glad at the outcome & looking forward to a Christmas Day update. My DD once lost a toy of the mouse ‘Small’ that came with the book of that name. No replacement could be found. Eventually we wrote to the author, who sent a replacement with a lovely message & drawing for her!
