Your house is burning!

You are allowed to run in and save ONE item.

What would it be? (Size or weight is no hindrance)

I`d be very boring and take my personal file with original deeds, marriage certificates (three!) etc

Razzle . I didn't realise that you meant possesions for a second- I thought you meant you family !!! Had a funny moment. :o)

My best friend's grandad was a fireman and when they had a fire he sat at the table eating breakfast and told his wife to call the fire brigade - granted he wasn't at work and I think it might have been a chimney fire.

Lore yep - did you? And we had sex on legs toooooooooo

[MsEVP]

I know how you feel, Razz.

And, of course, that brings up another question.

How many people have their houses insured for the RE-BUILDING cost, I wonder?

[Naomicorlett]

My OH just wandered in and I read the question to him. He said he would save his concertina !! Gee ta mate!! Puts me in my place!!

[Ice.Maiden]

Well they're silly not to. We once had a fire start in an outside brick-built building. Within a very short time it was almost razed to the ground, with just 2 remaining very black walls. The insurance covered a new build - but thank goodness it wasn't the house!!

[Naomicorlett]

Yup we are fully covered. That's not very suprising is it? Ah but who knows who they are insured with? What if your policy went in the fire ? would you know where to start ? Stash a copy of your policy at work.

[MsEVP]

That`s why, Naomi, I`d have grabbed my file with important docs in such as you mentioned!

as sad as it is, id probably save my computer seeing as it has all my photos on.
