Heaven help me if we ever lose Fussy!

Maya just had an 'accident' probably coz of the gallons of lemonade she drank today (her treat for letting me drag her on a 5km hilly walk ), but she must have been lying on top of Fussy and poor Fuss is saturated. So I've had to put her in the wash, and it took me 45 minutes to calm Maya down. I kid you not, she screamed so loud she woke Willie up from his pre-world cup hibernation coz he thought I was murdering her. She's finally settled with Fussy Fake but only coz I promised to take Fussy in as soon as she's clean and dry.
Imagine what would happen if we lost Fussy permanently somewhere?

hmmmmm and yet she does abandon Fussy every now and then - eg at National Womens in my room, at Botany etc....hmmmmmm maybe one day "losing" fussy will be the end and Miss maya will have to live with being an absent minded mummy who lost her bubba fussy! but OMG there will be tears for a while i bet!

Maybe it's just that she was too busy flirting with BSDH to keep an eye on Fussy

The problem I have now is that I have no idea how long a wash cycle is on the new washing machine, it's been going about 20 mins, hope it's not too much longer!

eeek we have almost the same doll as you know, and a similar one for Briona as well. It's hard enough getting them to sleep in the daytime when the doll is hanging on the washing line! I didn't think they could go through the dryer though?? Well hopefully she is asleep by now and will sleep through until at least a decent hour in the morning when she can be reasoned with, and get her dear Fussy back by lunchtime.

As for us... well I've been waiting all winter for an opportunity to have Briona's white - I mean almost black - doll put through the wash and dry in a day. It's going to be soon! I feel sorry for her lol

Heh. Lucky it's not in our washing machine ... a wash cycle is 2 hours 47 mins for a cotton wash (front loader) Washing must be well planned!!

Oooh I remember having the exact same thing happen to me when I was little, wetting my bunny in my sleep. I hardly slept all night because I kept waking up to find him and he wasn't there

Poor Maya, I hope she slept ok!

aw, that's so gorgeous. glad you got through the crisis.

Ayja's the opposite, she loves being the one to go and put Jammie in the wash for his bath, cos he has blankie in there to keep him company!, he is the lone jammie here in our house, but she does have one at daycare that is washed every week with the bedding, so looks a little more clean, and since she's always used that one at daycare she loves them both, we just grab the other one to bringhome with us if there's any reason that the other jammie might not be ready for bedtime. But usually she's fairly ok as long as she has one or the other. if all else fails she does accept being lent one of Paris's 3 bunnys. Paris does have a favourite bunny that she calls "fatty bunny" i dunno where she came up with that, but it is one that looks like it was very over-stuffed compared to the others, so i guess it really is "fatty bunny".

. I know what you mean about the shades of grey, Ayja's Jammie is absolutely grey despite being washed very often.

It's a life-changing event.. loosing your cuddlie. My mum stole my "wuzzy" (a crocheted square she'd made to save on space, cos i used to have to take a whole blanket) when i was 7 cos she wanted to stop me sucking my thumb. It didn't, cos i found a new soft toy to hold instead.

My Dad 'lost' my bunny when we moved house, I spent days looking everywhere for him because I knew for sure I'd put him in the top of my box when we were packing.
I was heartbroken and turned to my second best friend, Teddy for comfort...

Mum sent my brothers "Bumpy" (cot bumper) to "heaven" when he was about five. He was OK with that, until a few months later when he spied Bumpy at the top of Mums wardrobe and came rushing out to tell her he'd found where "Bumpy Heaven" is
