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.

Right now it would be
my chilled wine.

And the reclaimed scaffold boards I'm about to stick in the garden for a raised vegetable bed.


I'm so chuffing middle classed!

I now have an overwhelming desire to have an entire conversation with myself as it's gone all quiet here
But that would be slightly unhinged.

pour me a glass, there's a love. Sunshiney gloriousness here - and not a drop of booze in the house!

*Hands over HappyLittleTulip's cake - she's giving some to PenguinofDeath in another thread, so here, have some.

It's the sun, isn't it?
Always gives me an overwhelming desire to be outside 'doing something' and drinking large amounts of alcohol.

*accepts glass and cake*
Thanks - you're a lifesaver. My garden's looking rather spiffy at the mo - grass is like a bowling green (well if a bowling green has rabbit shit all over it). But it's nice and green. And weed free (at the moment)

Well, you did eat all the cake in the other thread didn't you?

@mistaspakkaman
you could have just asked - I share (well sometimes).

*ties knot in long straw*
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Wed 14 May 2008, 18:23, closed)
@ Mistaspakkaman
Ha! Caught you out! It's a box of wine! But here, have this anyway...

*pours wine through straw*

My, that's a long one!
(I helped save b3ta! chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Wed 14 May 2008, 18:24, closed)
Right.
Diggin' time.

Off to the garden with my boards, wine and a spade.

See you lovely folks soon.
(I helped save b3ta! chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Wed 14 May 2008, 18:34, closed)
ooooh, is it wine o'clock already?
*sniggers at long one*

There's a box of red wine on the coffee table :o)

Sorry 'bout that.
Hopefully, we'll be more middle class civilised and won't scoff each other’s cakes and wine next time.

* realises there's a knot in the straw *

* reverses straw so I can drink wine out of the end with the newly-poured wine *

EDIT: @Tourette's: Are you trying to make me blush?

@Tourette's
it's always wine o'clock somewhere in the world ....

I missed this by being scared over in another thread
But I'm fine in this one, so...

I hope you locked that cellar door.

Wee Witch
They're all perfectly... safe.

*jangles keys*
*grins*

Pink fizz, anyone?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 18:52, closed)
Pink fizz?
don't mind if I do. Sitting in the garden, enjoying the sunshine, and laughing at the guy three gardens along who has the world's last surviving push-mower.

Ah, bless laptops and wireless interweb!
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Wed 14 May 2008, 18:55, closed)
My pleasure
I wish I was outside too, laughing at your lawnmowing neighbours.

i wonder how chickenlady is faring against the ants?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 18:57, closed)
We've got ants in our garden
and despite many years of chemical warfare (I taught Saddam all he knew) they just keep coming back.

I'll laugh at the neighbour on your behalf, okay? I'll laugh even harder now, 'cos he's just taken his top off and has a bigger belly than I did at nine months' pregnant! Yuck, yuck, yuck.

*covers hlt's eyes*
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Wed 14 May 2008, 19:01, closed)
who's that?
I can't see!
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 19:05, closed)
*takes hands away*
well, I did try to protect you. If you're struck by a sudden vomiting attack, it's all you own fault. Try to aim away from the rabbit hutch, though. Fat little sod will eat anything.
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Wed 14 May 2008, 19:07, closed)
ahhh, it was you, Wicked Wee Witch!
Ooh, what a nice garden you have! Did you grow it yourself?

Oh my goodness, what an extraordinarily large belly your semi-naked lawnmowing neighbour has!

*vomits over fence*
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 19:10, closed)
Thank you, my dear
yes, all my own work. Grass, a few flowers, and I'm happy. I'm no Charlie Dimmock (I own several bra's for starters) but I do like pretty flowers.

I did warn you about the neighbour. Was it the grey chest hair that did it?
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Wed 14 May 2008, 19:15, closed)
The flowers are very pretty
And yes it was the grey chest hair that did it.

Still, it's nice to have pink fizz to take the taste away.

No no no
I'm not doing boreholes until Monday. But when I do, I do them quick, except the really long ones, which can take days. But I have a couple of guys to do them for me.

bugger!
I missed out on the virtual b3ta piss up!
And I started it!

I ended up doing no gardening at all :(

Had to drive to the supermarket to fetch milk for evil twins' breakfasts.

*sigh*

*Considers wine box in fridge*

*Looks at pint of tap water currently on the go*

@chickenlady
the garden will still be there tomorrow. Kids without breakfast - mine would whine for hours about that!

Very true...they can put up with many things but they won't go without food. Sadly.
