Thanks Liz Yes new Um Bat is washable so that is OK . Yes good idea about putting a tag with his name on I had thought about the lead but not a telephone no. Good idea thanks Sally yes thank goodness for ebay I looked at every rabbit relief when I found one the same . It is nothing special just a Russ one but we haven't seen anyone round here selling Russ. They have to have there special friend Catherine be it a blanket or toy, he will grow out of it don't worry he is still a baby really.. My 2 called there blanket a Goya Goya. I was lucky ( well don't know if it was lucky) but none of them would have a dummy. My 2 or Amanda's 2. Just glad we found another Um Bat.Amanda is so relieved. Hope she post it double quick Amanda said she was watching it at the end and has never been so nervous about a bid on ebay. We have a lot of feedback lol . Germaine x

So glad the story had a happy end. Bless the little one - you will be the best granny ever!!!! Love Mary xx

Germaine my youngest son now 37 used to have a white Mothercare cotton blanket he called it a Boo Boo which my Granson did as well...Hope the little Rabbit soon comes to be loved. June xx

Well I hope this puts me in her good books lol she is a little love but Grandads girl so Grandma gets put to one side she only wants me when no one else about. Good job I understand she doesn't mean it. Now her big brother was the opposite he just wants Grandma. Aren't they funny. A friend of ours had to stand at the bus stop for an hour to wait for a bus to come back with her little ones blanket she wasn't allowed to wash it it was the dirtiest thing you ever saw. She was so embarrassed Germaine x

Um bat arrived this morning little one was here when the posty came with him. You should have seen her little face. Ah!! she said Um Bat and gave us a little dance. Oh he got some cuddles. Bet she went to bed easier tonight for her mummy Thankgoodenss for eBay. Germaine x

Bless, glad little one got her Um Bat, Postal Service seems to be getting faster lately.

Yes Liz was great it arrived so quicklly. Relief was the word. Think they blame the PO when it isn't always there fault anyway they have 10/10 for this one. Germaine x

Nice one Germaine I got to try and get the blank in the washer today-I say to Harry it's a manky blank, he say's no it's a clean blank. so funny catherine xx

Ah bless him Catherine can you wait till he is asleep then sneak it away. When um Bat needs a wash Amanda tells her it is yuck and she lets him go. Mind you the last time he was yucky she had sat on him and her nappy had leaked he was well Yuck!!! Good Luck Germaine x

If they appear on Ebay for as little as that maybe you should get a spare, your daugher could swap them about to they get equally worn, a little one without their special'whatever' can get so upset. Little girl i know loved silky things, just a tiny piece would do, and twidled her knicker label when feeling perhaps upset if nothing else was to hand. The day she started school i knew her mum had taken the stitching out of the bottom of her pinafore side pocked and she wore her knicks inside out , and her little 'twiddly' was just where it needed to be!

That is a good idea Scarlet I will keep an eye out for another one best to have a spare anyway. ah bless the little one a lot of children love the sliky tags don't they. Germaine x Well just checked ebay out lots of lovely rabbits but no Um Bats will have to keep an eye out for one.

Managed to get the blanket in the washer he not noticed.lol catherine xx

Germaine, just reading some local newspapers from a day or so ago (friend keeps hers for me when neighbour is away, who usually passes them on). In Monday 5th March paper is an article about a bunny that's been found, the people who found it at a service station forecourt near Newmarket have set up a web site to try and find its owner Take a look on www*getrabbithome*com You can add messages to cheer up the rabbit while he is waiting to be claimed. Wouldn't be your granddaughter's special friend by any chance? Liz

Ah thanks Liz but no that isn't Um Bat. Poor little thing I left him a message must be going daft in my old age got to thinking he would know what I had written. No not daft just plain nutty!!!!!!. Germaine x Have found another one on Ebay but think it may be the worng colour as his ribbon is pink not green have emailed to ask what colour he is we take the ribbons off anyway so little one won't know that. She is so clever not any Um Bat will do.:-). Glad you got the blanket washed Catherine and he didn't notice.

Aah what a shame, Germaine, I do like a happy ending, I sent a message to say he might be claimed so will let them know otherwise, and will send another message to cheer rabbit up!

I can't believe I actually left a message for rabbit too Germaine... but I did! Glad everything has turned out well with Um Bat Love Gaynor xxx

Thanks Gaynor we are a soft lot leaving messages for a Rabbit not a live one at that. Thinkg is there will be a little one fretting over him like our Abbi. I do hope he gets home he looked very loved didn't he. Germaine x

Germaine, Hope you wer successful!! Caz xxx

Thanks Caz tis second Um bat doesn't finnish till tomorrow so lets hope I win him doesn't look to have a lot of interest so should be OK. Different colour but hopefully she will take to him then we will have 2 so if one gets lost again got a stand by. Germaine x

So Pleased germaine, What is an um bat by the way lol?!! Caz xxxx Good luck!
