My 4 year old daughter has lost her number one toy, (a cuddly strawbery with green arms and legs) her boy, her main man, the thing she has slept with and kept close to her since babyhood. (She even had a birthday cake in his image last year, and he is in just about every photo ever taken of her...) It happened four months ago (only explanation is that he went out with the rubbish) and she's actually getting worse, not better (we convinced her that he was lost temporarily in the house, lying waiting to be found, which she believed.) Now she beginning to doubt it and talks about him every night, and first thing in the morning. Last night she started to cry and said, 'I don't think we'll ever find Strawberry..' Whenever anyone says anything like, "We've got a surprise for you..", her first reponse is 'Have you found Strawberry??' I am so desperate, and HAVE to find her another - trouble is he came from a charity shop for 20 p, and all it said on his label was 'PEEKO', which appears to be a toy manufacturer in Korea! He has eyes, a big smile, a red handle and a few leaves on his head! He is about the size of an adult hand! We have photos we can email if anyone has a spare (unloved) toy that fits this description. PLEASE, if there are any mums out there with any ideas on how to find a toy like this, please, please let me know!

Soupy, she's had for years(at least 10), it's hangs on a long piece of elastic from the notice board in the kitchen and all the grandchildren beat the sh*t out of it

Don't worry though skie it's in good condition, the beatings don't show

Popsycal......I really wish I could, I feel almost super human right now, if my boys weren't asleep I could have done all the housework in minutes on this feeling.

Just as well they are then really isn't it......fnar fnar fnar

skie · 15/01/2004 20:39

Emma, I've sent you a message, but not got yours yet! I don't want to get too excited but...if it's got Peeko on the label.. and are you sure?? and.. thanks so much... and will you marry me...
