I would like to be Pooh becaue he is good hearted and always tries his best. He's not a clever bear but that's what makes him endearing. He is a talented poet so he does have a skill. He hums a lot and likes honey. (I hum a lot and like honey!!) Christopher Robin and Piglet are his best friends, and who needs more then two best friends?

I sometimes feel that I'm a bear just like Pooh... 'I'm a bear with very little brain and long words bother me.' He has a lovely nature, so what's not to like about being Pooh Bear?

I get cold feet in bed so it would have to be Pooh as "nobody knows tiddly pom ,how cold my toes tiddly pom how cold my toes, are growing"!!

Eeyore for me always - my partner often gives a very good impression of him, but a lost love of thirty years ago was the epitome of Eeyore and the soft grey donkey is a sweet, constant reminder of him.

I'm piglet - I'm small and a little simple but I always look on the bright side of things :-)

BlackeyedSusan Mon 14-Mar-16 18:09:15

louiesgran Mon 14-Mar-16 18:37:32

I would be Eeyore because a lot of the time I feel just like him- as if the world is just too much. Then I look at my grandson and think the world is great.

dirgni Mon 14-Mar-16 18:57:55

I would be pooh himself as I always like to test the goodies at the bottom of the container!

Kaiser999 Mon 14-Mar-16 18:59:08

EEyore, who else? Agrumpy old git just like my old man!

nessa38ish Mon 14-Mar-16 19:00:02

I would be Pooh, I love honey and I am a bit silly sometimes, love to daydream and get a bit mixed up .

SHOEJUNKIE Mon 14-Mar-16 19:20:08

Probably Kanga, giving the vitamins all round and to keep Tigger bouncing

Tigerlily13 Mon 14-Mar-16 20:16:11

I'd be Kanga - coz she's a Babywearer like me! ?

maureen1951 Mon 14-Mar-16 20:21:09

I would be Tigger because then I would have endless energy which would be a great help when I am with my grandkids and I am sure they would love my massive sense of fun, xxx

sarah2000h Mon 14-Mar-16 20:28:08

I suppose I'd have to be Piglet. I'm small but have a healthy appetite wink

busterjames Mon 14-Mar-16 21:20:34

Would have to be Tigger as my 2 little grand kids love him best of all !

NannyRose Mon 14-Mar-16 21:41:05

Christopher Robin because I often sit with my grandchildren halfway down the stairs when they want to 'talk', it's our safe talking place.
"Halfway up the stairs isn't up and isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts run round my head.
It isn't really anywhere, it's somewhere else instead."

Radley Mon 14-Mar-16 22:17:42

A Jagular because he is a honey stealer

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Tue 15-Mar-16 05:46:24

I would be 'Eyore' I am a faithful friend, can be pessimistic at times and love sugar!

wallers5 Tue 15-Mar-16 06:14:16

I would be Mittens the cat because I have a real live one who is so soft & cuddly & clever. I brought up my own children & now the grandchildren on Winnie-the-Pooh books.

janeyjane Tue 15-Mar-16 08:29:22

Eeyore is the character I'm most drawn to - is it true that opposites attract??

RuthHarwood Tue 15-Mar-16 08:39:20

Eeyore because I love to grumble!!

DanielleHatchett16 Tue 15-Mar-16 09:59:46

I would love to be Owl, so wise and I'm definitely not that so it would be nice to be Owl from the day. Also I could turn my head nearly all directions and watch everyone's moved :D

ammaline Tue 15-Mar-16 10:00:01

I'd be Winnie the Pooh because I love hunny!

diamondlil14 Tue 15-Mar-16 12:17:31

I think I would be Eeyore, very cautious. sad( But I do like honey so I would love to win. Please.

philatel Tue 15-Mar-16 12:35:17

Winnie the Pooh - we are so alike - round and cuddly and adore honey!

GrannyGlyn Tue 15-Mar-16 13:10:47

I would be Eeyore. My family often buy me Eeyore related gifts so it must be true. I am a self confessed pessimist but I hope lovable and cuddly too!
