    That's lovely!

    ***Possibly sens and BT related***

    Mine is a card with C's tiny tiny footprints and hand prints that the lovely mw did for me at the time. It's so precious to look at and remind me how perfectly formed his little fingers and toes were

    Blue Jack - He is a little doll I got when I was very young and I still keep him under my pillow. He has been through several outfit changes and is stained a bit orange on the ears but I luffs him.

    I've been thinking about this and really cant think of anything off the top of my head. I was trying to think if say my house burnt to the ground, what would be the one thing I would want saved - I've thought of maybe a photo of my first pet rabbit (but my parents have one anyway), or one of my first dog (again, parents have plenty too) - also my late great grandads art box I got from him, but again, its in the loft, as awful as it sounds, i hardly ever think of it, so it wont be a great loss.

    I think the closest I've got to one is my engagement ring, but apart from its current meaning - theres nothing sentimental about it ?

    I'd like to say after we get married it'll be our wedding photo album.

    A diamond and sapphire ring that was my aunty's and then my nana's when my aunty died.

    It's quite old fashioned and a bit blingerific but I love it.

    Shadow - a toy beaver I have had since I was one. Apart from when I first got together with H (he was hidden away!!) he has slept every night with me and always will. H has gotten really attached too. He's all worn with no fur where I've held him and intake him everywhere. I've got a purse that feels like his fur and I take that everywhere I go, I think it's a comfort thing.

    My engagement ring. Not just because of what it stands for but because it belonged to my nan. I'm so so careful with it, if I'm going out drinking I often leave it at home in case I somehow drunkenly lose it. It's very dainty and not a bling style engagement ring at all but the sentimental value is through the roof, I would be heartbroken if it were lost or damaged.

    Photo albums of my children growing up.

    Nanuk, a toy Polar bear.

    Funky.... I'm impressed by your response but also a bit speechless.

    I really don't think I have anything [:^)

    I have nothing of great sentimental value, and nothing of great monetary value either.

    I guess I would say my Nona's jewellery box because it brings back great memories as a kid. But I don't think I'd risk life and limb to get it in a fire, because I'll always have the memories, even if I don't have the box!

    My charm bracelet or a tatty old bunny called Miffy that my Mum was given when she was pregnant with me. She's got barely any fur left, her ears are falling apart and Mum has had to make her new feet but I love her.

    It's quite depressing that I don't really have anything. I have my mum's charm bracelet from whe she was younger and would hate to ever lose it, but I don't ever get it out and look at it, it stays in the cupboard, so I don't really think I can say that.

    My engagement ring is probably the most important to me as it was so expensive and such a suprise that he'd saved for so long for it without me even knowing. Also my charm bracelet that H bought for my 21st, as my friends and mum have all bought me charms for it since, and I have one in memory of my grandad too.

    If my house was on fire, I'd grab my bracelet, wedding album, fingerprint tree and cat.

    I don't have anything as such. This may sound really sad but I have a box of cards off H going back to when we first started dating almost 12 years ago, I've even kept the cards that came with flowers being delivered when we were 200 miles apart. I have a lot of photos which I would hate to loose. I have a few things from being younger that are still at mums. I love my engagement ring, I would be distraught if I ever lost it. I have pictures that my neices and nephews have drawn me over the years, the oldest pic which is still on my fridge is 6 years old.

    I have a scarf of my nanas which still smells of her perfume- I don't open the box much as I am scared the smell will run out and it wouldn't be the same to just buy the perfume she wore if you know what I mean.

    I don't think I have anything. I would save my cats but apart from that most things could be replaced.

    In the house fire scenario, the first things I'd think to grab aren't necessarily the most treasured or sentimental. For example, I'd get the dog, but don't like to think of her as a possession, if that makes sense? And our bag of camera gear would be second grabbed.

    Possibly sensitive, BT related below

    But when it gets down to it, the most treasured things I have are (and it'll sound weird i'm sure) but a pair of my nieces first socks.

    They were identical twins born pretty early. When they were worn, even the tiny baby prem ankle socks were enormous on them and easily came up to their knees. I look at them and remember how they were- so tiny and vulnerable and how we weren't sure if they'd make it. Then I think of them now- almost 4 and just perfect. The teeny tiny pair of socks that just about fit my thumb tip are a reminder of what little miracles they both are.

    It hits home with me a bit more I think because my "little" brother (their dad) was only 18 when they were born and they all lived with us for a good 6 months after they were born. I got up and did night feeds and got them to sleep and helped out as much as I could. I don't want kids of my own so that's probably the closest i'll ever be to parenthood. I love those socks.

    In my jewellery drawer, I have this gaudy plastic red necklace with a fake gold clasp. It was my nanny's and one of the few things of hers I have (I was only seven when she died - my grandad remarried an evil witch who chucked everything away, including my mum's wedding dress).

    I also have my care bear which still sits on my bed. And there's the cats. There's always the cats.

    Toughie. I have a couple of things. A teddy i've had since I was tiny called Alice Bear. She's a bit grubby and old looking now, and her head is in constant danger of falling off since my cousin pulled it off when we were 10. She's never been the same since Smiley sad But i truly love her, I would be gutted if anything ever happened to her. I am so attached to Alice.

    After that, probably photographs and my wedding and engagement rings.
