I have had a mission for 5 years now and I've finally achieved my aim.
My Dad bought Eden a snowglobe when she was lttle. It was beautiful and she loved it. As I was putting it away after christmas I dropped it and broke it. I was devasteted and felt so bad that I decided not to let on about it (yep that seems really silly now) I set about trying to find a replica, i visited the shop where it had been bought, I searched ebay, searched the web and couldn't find a replacement.
Christmas the year after I pretended to have forgotten to get it out of the loft.
Christmas 2, I pretended not to be able to find it in the loft.
Christmas 3, i told M&D that it was upstairs in her room.
Christmas 4, i explained to Eden what had happened and she started to play along, and all this time I've been searching for the replacement.
Last week on Ebay, a pair of snowglobes that had a similar theme and were musical came up. I secretly bid on them and won them. They arrived last night, but I hadn't managed to open them until this morning. They are absolutly wonderful. far better than the original (let's hope no one can actually remember what it looked like!) One can replace Eden's and the other will do as a gift for my Dad as he loves penguins!
I feel extatic. My search is over and I can get on with life.
I've popped them both into Eden's bedroom cupboard and I can't wait until she opens the cupboard and finds them there.
