Blanky Addicoat the First was the (Original and) Best, the Second and Third were all good, I think the Fourth and Fifth may have been swapped in without my apparent knowledge (Love you, Mum). Every time Blanky had to be repaired, I learnt that things you love, can't remain in stasis forever.
Blanky the Final was made of a different fabric and was pale pink instead of white (new) / whitish-grey (faithful servant). Then I grew too big for Blanky (around 10, made easier by Blanky the Final sucking so much). Around a 2 inch square of the original Blanky is preserved (unoverlocked) and revered, however.
