Last ditch cry for HELP!!!

Time to pull in the favours from the bargain hunt forum......

I am at my wits end....my boy has lost his teddy bear...he is 3 yrs old and is distraught.

The teddy bear looks like this



Does anybody have one the same that they are willing to part with?

Is anybody going to a car boot sale this weekend and can look out for one for him?

Anybody got a spare few mins to scour the net for a UK shop that sells them?

Anybody recognise the make?

This was bought from mothercare 3-4 years ago and has been through some very hard times with James, and they are inseperable.

You could make a little boy very happy again!

I am willing to pay a reward if that is any incentive for anybody!

That poor little teddy looks sad... you sure he didn't run away?

No, seriously, I hope someone finds you one soon. And I'm sure they would let you have it due to the amount of bargains you find for us all the time!

Dave, is that a zip up the front, so you can stuff things inside it. like pyjamas and stuff?

[sybrows]

Is it a beenie teddy ??

[Rave]

I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Dave, just called Mothercare, they say that anything over a couple of years old is going to be practically impossible to find if they don't stock it now... all my local M'cares don't do it...

Tried Ebay co.uk AND .com... no luck there either.

Googled and Yahood it and still no joy....

One step ahead of you there mate. I don't generally make a point of banging on about my hobby of bin raiding since a lot of people don't like the idea, but I know from long experience that charity shops often throw away a lot of toys. Charity shop bins are usually perfectly clean, and in any case toys/bears/dolls can be washed, with a dash of disinfectant if you're really paranoid.

So, it's worth a rummage if you get the chance.
