Teddies or dolls?

And no I'm not talking lingerie

Idea from another thread and seeing as Lozzo as happy to "admit" he has a teddy still (not that its something to be ashamed of of course!)


I absolutely hate dolls with a passion, ESPECIALLY those horrible porcelain ones with the funny eyes, yuk. Teddy girl through and through


Were you a teddy bear kid or a dolly girl (or guy, there are such things as action dolls!) ??

I have a 'teddy'
But its really a cow..
Still have it, mam hand knitted it for me when i was younger..
Need to get a pic.. haha

My teddy is a dog called Lady cos it reminded me of the dog from Lady and the Tramp

Oh and by dolls I'm NOT talking the blow-up variety either

I thought it was about lingerie, I was tricked. But teddy for both

ooooo I got a pair in the loft that you'd absolutely hate with a vengeance. They are twins, and belonged to my great aunt. They're so scary they are like those twin girls in the shining that stare down the corridor........then you wonder why they are in the loft.

As for teddies....they are everywhere in my house...who says they all belong to Dylan

Theres a rabbit one in his room with no fur, no eyes and a dress that my mum put it in when it got cold, I've had it since I was born.
It was my favourite. Its funny cause I used to hide my fingers behind its ear when I was little, as I went to sleep sucking them, Dylan does exactly the same with his little sea lion....won't go to bed without it...and its getting as threadbare as that darn rabbit!

I had a little koala bear that I used to love.. My sister got it for me when I was a toddler and it was bald and missing paws ten years later. Don't know what happened to it

Exactly what I used to do, I knew Dylan did it but didn't know you too, must be hereditary? My mum doesn't do it though, she just thought I was strange haha. I loved teddies with long ears so I could do it, bit of a comfort thing. Took me ages to wean mesen off it though and I really wish me ma had stopped me from a young age as it forced my teeth forward a little

I was adopted and the only I went with was a yellow bird called chooky bird. It's threadbare now, my daughter loved it when she was small too, and she's 14 now. I think it's the only inanimate object that I'd be upset if I lost.

my mum did everything she could to stop me, from binding my fingers in plasters, to putting that horrible no bite stuff on my nails. It didn't do anything and eventually i stopped, it hasn't pushed my teeth forward though. I try to stop Dylan doing it all the time, even hid the damn sealion, and Bob once ate it,which i promptly sewed up hoping he wouldn't notice its face had changed face...so far nothing stops him either he just finds an alternative until the favourite one appears.

At this point I have to come clean. Though I've had that Panda for nearly 47 years, I never played with it as a child. It just sat there on the shelf or lobbed in my playpen doing nothing. My ma tells me I was never interested in it.

It was only much later in life that I became attached to it and started taking it around with me when I went on holiday or abroad on business. That Panda has been to every country I have ever visited, and then some more cos my ex-wife took it with her to Saudi Arabia, Israel, Dubai, Kuwait (though I've taken it there mysef when refuelling en-route from Singapore) and a couple of others. It's the only item, aside from my birth certificate, that I've owned from birth.
