Im hoping some of you wonderful people can help me out. My son has lost his Reindeer beanie toy, available only from ASDA. He is totally heartbroken as he had given it a name and whole personality. Ive tried my local branches but they dont have one, so Im hoping that if anyone is shopping in ASDA they would have a look for me.

Its by cuddle crew/mini friends. Not very big, about adult palm size, is wearing a scarf and costs only a couple of £. Id be eternally grateful if anyone finds one as hes been so upset, we are trying to replace it for him.

Of course I will send you the money and postage costs straight away.

many thanks

Have just sent hubby to Asda to have a look for you, will let you know if he is successful

Thanks thats so kind, there must be one somewhere!

I might be doing my food shop tomorrow, so i'll have a look too.

Hi Lucy

Will ask my daughter to have a look when she does her shopping after work...

L x

i'm going to asda on sunday if no ones found you one by then i'll take a look for you

ehhehee sounds like he may end up with a whole family of them!!!! ;)

No Joy in Gloucester I'm afraid

Thanks anyway Jules. Also thanks to everyone who is going to look for me, you never know we may be lucky.
many thanks once again.

ANy joy yet? There's a huge Asda in the next town from here, I'll go over tomorrow if you've not found one by then.

Nothing doing here....although it may be that it's only been offered in the Asdas in your area.

We found that with Sainsburys, specials advertised in the paper were only available in certain stores (small print)

No consolation I know.

Hope someone comes up with it.

Have you searched Amazon for "Reindeer Toy"? There is quite a selection (some with scarves), so maybe there is a close match there.

I can't TAKE it ANYMORE!!!! Did ANYONE find this poor child of Lucydog's another stuffed Raindeer?? HELP!!! I'm on the edge of my SEAT here with anticipation awaiting the outcome of her ploy.

Anyone?

Please?

Can you??

I'm with qb. Lucy's son isn't the only one restless. Hope someone finds one or that it's available on-line. My son had a blankie & the 1st blankie got left somewhere & we could NOT find another one even close.....quite a few sleepless nights with the 18mo old. Luckily he found a new blankie.......he gave it up when he was 6......& I have it amongst MY keepsakes. I had a Cookie Monster stuffy with a wind up music box in it. Funny how we tend to attach ourselves to those security things as little ones. Best of luck!

What do you mean as little ones? I still have my toy duck that comes everywhere with me!

I sunk as low as asking one of the assistants if they might have some in the back somewhere. I don't know if they just hid for half an hour but they looked ever so disappointed when they said they couldn't find anything. I have however got everyone at work looking (including one chap who "nipped in" to an Asda that he spotted on his way to site.

Still looking.

No luck yet, but thanks to everyone who has looked for me. I live in hope, while my son lives in expectation!

Lucy,

Don't waste this marvelous opportunity to help your son cope with loss.

sorry no joy have tried peterborough , kettering and leicester for you hope you find one soon
wendy

Thanks once again everyone

this reminds me of that arnie film about the boy who wanted an action man for christmas? it was hilarious!,good luck lucy

(Sorry Lucy)

Its ok really we did the loss thing last year when the dog died. This is totally different!

i have sent an email to asda to see if they can help in the search
wendy

Thanks Wendy thats so kind of you.

Hi

I'll try S****horpe's branch tommorrow mate.

We're all too soft these days! Does reading this thread and agreeing whole-heartedly with Pwuff make me a bad person? The boy has lost his toy? He'll learn to take better care of the next one!

Bah, humbug!

YES! Grouch. Get back in your dustbin.

Ha Ha... you can talk....!

Lucy, is this the reindeer at large...if so go get it, 3 days left on the ebay.uk auction

Wow - my faith in humanity is restored, and clearly I AM a bad person. I DO like the people on this site!

p.s. I lost all my christmas presents for everyone and it's making me sad. StillFingers, any ideas...?

Guido, yeah I've an idea for your xmas presents...your smile which I'm sure is in your heart as well, who really needs anything else bro...be well. Jerry

Wow you folks are truly amazing! It's very touching to see the lengths you've all gone to to look for this toy, let alone reply.
I once lost a pearl charm my now deceased father gave me when I was a child and couldn't get anyone in the restaurant to help me search the floor for it

You're very lucky to know such sweet folks here Lucy!

kudos to you all.

Give us the address. We'll all head over there. We're bound to do a good job. Once we're on the floor, most of us would have to stay there.

Lune,
Would that restaurant be anywhere in San Fransisco? I'm heading up there this weekend, and could pop in to have a look around for you. It's no problem, really.

Hey, NOT SO FAST!! Lucy hasn't even responded that Jerry found it. Two days left nd the clock is TICKING!!! TICK TOCK TICk TOck Tick tock tic... to... t..

hi this is the reply i got in an email today from asda, will let you know when i hear from them again
wendy


Thank you for your message.

Dear Ms Ross

Thanks for your recent e-mail.

I have forwarded your e-mail onto the Toy Buyer within ASDA House and as soon as they get back to me, I will be in touch with you.

Thank you for contacting ASDA.

Thanks SO much everyone. Unfortunatly I dont think the one you've found Jerry is the right one. I know Im making a fuss, but sometimes as a parent you have to say get over it, (which I do a lot!!) but sometimes you also have to try and put something right. Knowing my son as I do this is the latter.
But Ho hum Im optimistic one will turn up.

Thanks very much Wendy for your efforts. If you hear anythig pls let me know.

thanks again everyone for all your help and kind words.

cheers
L

Hope u find it Lucy...yankmeister tried his best...time for a tequila btw, it's no fuss, u just a good mum

hi got another email from asda, they are trying to get a reindeer beanie for you
the email said



Dear Ms Ross

Just to keep you informed of the situation. The Toy Buyer has been in touch with the suppliers and they are trying to get hold of the beanie reindeer for you.

As soon as hear anything else, I will be back in touch.

Thank you.


Kind regards

Rachel Eddon
ASDA Service Team

Oh my Wendy, thats so kind of you. I tried my local ASDA and they wernt too helpful and to be honest with the new baby Ive been absolutly cream crackered! I will love you forever (!!!!) and owe you hugely if one turns up but once again send you a huge hug and appreciation for your efforsts. Its such a kindness from you. Thankyou

Lucy...have a look at www.next.co.uk

is this what your looking for????
its only £5 and sounds like what your son lost........next day delivery too!! : )
xx

lucy asda have found you one of the reindeer, they have it ready to post, can you pm me your surname and address and i'll pass it onto them, as makes more sense that it comes straight to you rather than through me
wendy

wow!!

Wow indeed! I love a happy ending.

I lost a penknife when I was about 8, it had a black and white picture of a herd of zebras on it and the word Africa. Anyone??

has the reindeer arrive yet? asda emailed me to say they posted it to you on fri (4th), so if you havent got it, it should be with you very soon
wendy

do you want the good news first or the bad news?!!


the good news is i've found your penknife! the bad news (see the photo) it its so old the writting and picture have completly worn off!!

sorry couldn't resist
