My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Um...there's a few actually.I have a little herd of wooden elephants that have been in my family since my gran was wee. I got them when she died, and they always remind me of being little, sitting in my gran's house, pretending to warm my hands on the fake coals on the fire and playing with the elephants. They're probably worth about 50p since they're all broken and chipped.
There's my old teddy bear (yes, I know. Feel free to laugh) that I've had since I was born. Again she's a link to my granny - my granny bought her for me.
And there's a little box of things that I keep that are special. Photos of people I love, ticket stubs, letters from friends. Worthless tat to anyone else. Priceless to me.
(Luckily Mr. Oncoming Storm has agreed to make his own way in the event of a fire or such. Unless he's unconscious or something. Then, like the huge giant sap that I am, he's top of the list.)
Apologies for lack of length (I'm a girl) and sappiness (again, I'm...actually there's no excuse for that).

I have a box like that too.I'm glad I'm not the only over-sentimental one around here!

Petite chienNot so much overly sentimental, as knowing when something has emotional value.
At least I pretend that's what's happening :D
