[...] The Swiss girl continues to stare at Eeyore, who is staring gloomily up at her from between a sock-stuffed trainer and a bag of plastic forks. Eeyore’s presence in my bag, and indeed in my life, knocks at least another 10 Cool Points off my already quite dismal score, and yet I can’t quite seem to resolve this by just getting rid of him. When I moved away, I left the Eeyore decision until the very last minute. I even put him into the suitcase of Things I Can’t Bear To Throw Away, to be stored by The Parents. He looked sadly up at me, and I firmly closed the lid and walked away to do something else. I only made it about four steps away before I turned and retrieved him from the case, in much the same way that I lifted Teddy down from the wardrobe all those years ago. [...]

Poor old ted! If he could talk I wonder what tales he would tell?

You can buy dry powder stuff for carpets that’ll clean your teddy bear. It’s called Wonder-something. You can get it from Betterware. Or, you could get one of those wee dry-cleaning kits. I’d just sponge it with fabric cleaner, though. That way, Teddy gets a sponge bath and smells nice.

Failing all of the above suggestions, take him to a Doll’s Hospital and get him fixed. Yes, they do exist.

I’ve had experience with yucky teddy bears from the attic!

It’s all falling apart. That wasn’t even a typo, I genuinely debated whether it was a or e and didn’t have time to check. I’ve lost my superiority!!

Before Dirk notices, I think you should replace your Teddy dependance with dependence. This message will self-destruct when correction has been made.

Whilst I have nothing to say about bears, I did feel the need to leave a comment.
HELLO HAYLEY! (and also HELLO AB AND MCCOONEY!)

I’m sorry for yet another comment, but I just realized that the grammar in my last comment was off. The last sentence should have read, “McCooney and I are trying to bring it back.” Please forgive my flagrant disregard for the grammatical rules you mentioned before. Love you!

Hails-Please understand, that whilst we don’t use the word “whilst” often over here, it is a dearly loved word in my vernacular. We’re (myself and McCooney) are trying to bring it back.
