UKMum Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 12:06

@UKMum Where did you see it last? Did you leave it in the taxi? In hotel lobby?
Tunnockslover Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 12:07

Don’t know where we lost it. Cannot remember seeing it since we left London. She is crying buckets.
UKMum Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 12:08

@UKMum Can you phone the airport? Where did you fly from?
Tunnockslover Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 12:09

UKMum Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 12:11

UKMum Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 12:14

Ok. Heathrow no use. What can I do? 3yo distraught. Tried distracting with ice cream and beach, but she just wants her Bunny. Crying now too.
UKMum Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 12:35

@UKMum @Dogowner @Tunnockslover Just seen this, UKMum. What did Heathrow say?
UKMum Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 12:38

@Dogowner @Tunnockslover Heathrow lady very nice but Bunny not handed in. If it is found she will contact me but could be days.

@Mumplusbump Oh, thank you so much. Could you ask him to check out the BA desk. Flight BA 2398 to Spain at 8:25am. White Bunny, green ears.
UKMum Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 13:15

@UKMum Ok, he is on his way to BA desk. His shift finished 5 mins ago, lucky I caught him.

Tunnocklover Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 15:25

@Tunnocklover @UKMum What if he gropes a stewardess when sozzled? They should offer coffee to sober him up
Mumplusbump Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 15:31

@Tunnocklover @Mumplusbump You know what they say about rabbits...
UKMum Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 15:34

Right. Off to airport again to pick up Bunny. Have eaten massive ice cream No Sangria yet.
UKMum Sat. 5^th June 2010 at 17:00
