This is a question My most treasured possession

What'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 am seriously bored this afternoon so........
I was once given a watch by me then girly. Now it was not a bad watch, in fact as watches go, it was very nice. She even had a lovely little (and very private) message engraved on the back.

But.

I cant wear watches. My arms are covered in hair which gets caught in the metal bracelet and all I do all day is slowly pluck my left wrist smooth.

Which comes to the over problem. My wrists have the circumference of a bic biro. This allows the watch to slide up and down and pluck more hair at will - even though I had the bracelet set to the smallest setting.

And finally – as I have small wrist I look just plain fucking stupid with them on (unless they are child like flic flaks).

The thing is, I know she saved a long time to buy the watch and I truly appreciated the gesture (and loved the engraving) and so even though I hated the bloody thing and its arm-hair-ripping antics – I wore it every day for two years.

It was then stolen out of my hotel room.

The insurance paid towards my Harley

I love that unconditionally.

So it was a treasured possession that I completely hated. If such a thing is possible..

Scrawny wrists!!
Yay, I have scrawny wrists too.

As for lists, all I have just now is a list of people I would probably be truly terrified to meet.
