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.

I keep it in my walletI hardly ever think about it, except when I change wallets and realise it's not in there, then I freak out a bit.
It's a page from some graphic design/art collection book, containing just type detailing the writer's experience with a Ladybird book about Jason and the Argonauts, and comparing the moral of the story to the times in your life where wonderful stuff happens, to marvel as it does, but to know that things don't last forever and to remember to move on with fond memories, ready to knuckle down to the next thing life throws at you.
I shrank it down to card size, laminated it, and now it goes with me everywhere. My life and career has been very random, and it really resonated with me when I found it 6 years ago, and still does.
Failing that, I would go mental if somebody knicked my favourite spoon - it's a large tablespoon, silver plated, with the original ODEON logo stamped into it on the handle. My gran found it at a junk fair about 50 years ago, and it's such an odd object, I love it.
