Annobel Fri 15-Jun-12 21:44:46

Oh dear! my teddy bear is the same age as I am and even more threadbare.

My teddy - she's been with me through thick and thin; a carved wooden trio of the 3 monkeys that belonged to my dad and my laptop; my handbag, car keys, tablets, anti perspirant, and........................

Specs, car keys and wallet and phone, everything else is just stuff.

AlieOxon Fri 15-Jun-12 09:06:05

The cat, my wallet and the memory thingy with my family history backup on (since I can't take the computer)!

Donald is fine the fur is growing back and the lampshade will be coming off soon in order to let him --lick his bum--clean himself

Anagram Tue 12-Jun-12 18:19:31

nellie wouldn't be groping firemen by mistake, Jess! grin

JessM Tue 12-Jun-12 18:18:25

visions of us both nellie groping firemen by mistake.

I once had to evacuate a tall hotel at 2am. Boots and coat were a great idea. Some people were out on the pavement in just jammies.
ANother time there was a fire alarm at a big office block. It was freezing. Cos it was lunchtime and I had neither my coat nor my car keys on my person. Everyone running round like headless chickens with no fire marshals in evidence. it was a minor fire in the kitchen and we were outside in winter temps for half an hour. Miserable.

nelliedeane Tue 12-Jun-12 18:10:28

jess yes that is me without my glasses,I fear I could get arrested through groping about in a shadowy world grin
