For me also it would have to be
my photos of my grandmother and grandfather and aunts and uncles
whom i never got to meet ... i look at them from time to time
and wonder what they were like .
the other thing would be my mums 2 statues which sit either side of my fireplace ...

It would have to be my lappy and it's case as all my family tree, old photo's and 1000's of music albums are on it, it also contains my wallet most of the time ,even with that it is a hard pushed choice over my dragons, but I can replace most of them but not the photo's of my Dad. Oh and I would take the big photo of him off the wall.

Photos

Then Laptop ( has digital photos on it )
Then Family history stuff ( can always buy certs again but never photos)

Then, if I could be bothered the next time, if there is one,......I may even wake the Oh up before the smoke gets to him.

If my cats were safe - nothing!
Letters my gran wrote to my grandad in 1924 have been transcribed, put on CD's and handed out to various members of the family.
It would be nice to save the originals, but I'm not sure where they are at the moment................
I hope my children & grandchildren would just like to see 'Grandma Meow' safe!!!

Forgot that Berona. Yes my family tree is backed up so I would have to take the "stick" and CD's.

Since most of my photos are on the computer these days, I suppose I would take my CDs - the back-ups....Thanks, you've reminded me to do some backing-up!

photo's also I think...but if not those, then it would definitely be the watercolour of a wood I bought some years back :) it is the kind of wood in which Hobbits or unicorns are about to appear :)
