Mrs O, we also have very old Singers, one being over 100 years old and still works, we have old treadle machines on stands etc, just a bit of a thing about Singer really.
There's no material objects I value that highly so in the event of a fire I would save my OH, dogs and cat, the rest of it's insured, family Photo's are backed up on a memory stick or two in Norwich, and we hold same for them. Next would be to get estate car to safety, so we all had somewhere to sit down/shelter.
i have thousands of photo's in albums, covering many years of travelling, family gatherings, friends, o/h, more travelling, so i would hate to lose the lot
I'd be sad if I lost the cardigan that was my mums who died in 1976, I put it on every morning, It's my dressing gown cardi. I often think about contacting M&S and telling them how well it's worn even though it's a bit tatty now.
Apart from family my crucifix. My nan who died when I was six bought all her grandchildren one at birth.Not worth much in real terms but I can't remember a day when it's not been round my neck and to me it's priceless and it's not just me,I've noticed at family gatherings all the surviving grandchildren still have theirs.
