Book, glasses already there. The cats make their own way, as does DH. Used to take my handbag in case we were burgled. Must feel more confident now!

And mobile phone - sorry forgot

thatbags Wed 20-Jul-16 22:27:39

mobile phone switched to silent, just so I can look at the time if I wake up. There's no clock in the room and I don't have a watch.

Bottle of water. Well, four bottles of water actually. I like to have a good supply! It dates from when our water was cut off frequently when we first moved here. It has been allright for a few years now but old belt and braces attitudes die hard.

Glasses so I can see what time the mobile says!

Lipsil.

A lovely soft wool lace shawl that DD knitted for me some xmases ago. I pull it over my head if my head feels cold.

Bed socks most nights, or occasionally mittens (ask elegran)

Earplugs (not used very often)

Deedaa Wed 20-Jul-16 22:28:37

Well George Clooney would be good ....but I'm afraid nowadays it's just a good book hmm

hildajenniJ Wed 20-Jul-16 22:45:12

Book
Glasses
Hudl
Nintendo DS ( used as alarm clock) but with brain training programme inserted.
Rennie's

I used to have the dog too, but she is very old now and tends to be incontinent at times, so she sleeps on a chair in the hall.
