My sister is 35 and still has her one (most of the insides are gone and were replaced with socks).

I've still got two of mine.

A long dog called Amigo and a small teddy called Bruce.

I don't know what I was on giving the teddy a name like Bruce though.:)

Im 26 and I think I still have Basil somewhere! Yes he was a foxesque teddy haha!!

Yes, Bisha(?? how on earth does a bear become known as Bisha!!) is still alive (just). He is blind, and was the subject of many experiments, which resulted in him having his limbs amputated and then re-attached, by my then 6 year old sisters innovative sewing methods.....

Yup - my childhood teddy is still alive (just about) back home..

Funny thing is, that the first time my niece visited our home place she fell in love with her daddy's childhood teddy and now it's her teddy

I think mine's thrown in a cupboard somewhere. Never really was into teddy bears - this explains how it survived into my adulthood. I was like that kid in Toy Story who wrecked all the toys.

I had a teddy bear named "Tina" from childhood right up to when my son was born 15 years ago. Now I am 40 and I don't even remember what happened to Tina, how could I ever have abandoned her

I still have pinky (a toy pink wolf i received from my uncle when i was born 28 years ago - hes in rough shape)

I also have my mother's teddy, from when she was a little girl 60 odd years ago and it sits proudly in mint condition on my bookshelf (shes a bit of a perfectionist!)

When my father was selling the family house - I was clearing out the attic and found a lot of my old toys, and packed away were the infamous Joey and Freddie.

Joey (the orange rabbit) is likely a little older than I am (36), and my earliest memory is being given Freddie for my 3rd birthday in my Granny's hallway, making him 33. The fact that Freddie is pink tends to raise a few eyebrows - but when Freddie was given to me in 1974 - well everything was a shade of gray, and I think colour wasn't an optional extra in that case.

Joey & Freddie have jogged a memory. Back in the 70s/80s they used to keep women who were having babies in hospital for a few days. I've memories of my mother and some of my aunts making soft toys which don't look a million miles different to your teddies. I think the hospital used to supply soft toy kits as something for all these women to do while they were there.

My childhood Teddy, Poppy the penguin is still at home in my parents house. She's lost a wing along the way but she's still going strong. I got her for my 5th birthday from my uncle. Making her 18 now.... she's probably sneaking out an night to go to the pub nonw I'm not there to watch her anymore!

A month ago I found a monkey that I was given when I was born. Fecking thing is 31 years old and still going strong!

On a sadder note though, I remember I had a bear called Foggy Face. One day he was thrown out my bedroom window and he blew into my neighbours garden whereby he was immediately ripped to shreds by a dalmation and an irish wolfhound. His fur and fluff got caught in the trees for weeks, so everytime I looked out the window, it was like the childhood equivalent of watching Hostel. What a way to go though.....
