Mothercare Monkey

Please help Old Stylers. I am desperately trying to find one of the mothercare soother monkeys. It is the one with the long arms and legs. My grandson has one and we need a spare in case manfred is lost but Mothercare have stopped making and stocking them. We did have a spare but he has been brought into play since "Manfred 1" got left in Majorca:mad: Aaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Why don't you contact Mothercare and ask them?

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

    Wow - someone's selling a used one for £20! They must know that some poor child will probably have lost their favourite toy and that someone might pay over the odds for a replacement. :(

    My son grabbed an Elephant in Mothercare when out and about with my dad. The story goes they couldn't even prize it off him to scan the barcode when dad had to pay for it. So Elephant has been his favourite forever. Though Mothercare seem to deny ever making it! I've never seen it on Ebay or anywhere on the net, they deny ever having it in the shops :rotfl:. We're not crazy, Elephant has the mothercare logo, but cannot find a spare.

    Hope your monkey has cousins...
