Re: if you could only save 3 things

edit : - sda , what about your family :(

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

thay would be the first ones out of the house :)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

good :)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Let it burn - nice big insurance claim - it's all worth much more than salvaged especially as the poilcy says "new for old". Biggest problem would be the hassle.

Do hope the insurance company isn't reading this or they might get suspicious :angel:

NB no wife or kids to worry about before you say "what about them", Oh and I wouldn't even bother with the PC backups - I lost anything worthwhile when my HD went belly up a couple of weeks ago and didn't have backups :dunce: :disturbd:

better half
5 year old girlie
1 year old girlie
in no particular order just whoever i grab first

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Hassle, you wouldn't believe the hassle the insurance company's give you, ours tried to haggle over the price of bed linen :rolleyes: And then after that you've got 10 years of other insurance companies not wanting to touch you (oh and sky high premiums). :(

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

My computer, my games, me.

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Excluding the obvious family.

1.My Household documents folder ( with all the insurance & endowment policies, passports, driving licence, etc in it)

2.Car keys

3.A clean pair of underpants.:D

Did I mention I used to be a Boy Scout.;)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

laptop, dvds, clothers.

as for my family the lazy buggers can get themselves out. and carry more of my stuff

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

I have heard people say bible a lot. I understand that it is important but why do people have to take theirs? I mean cant you get a new one or is it a personal connection oor something?

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

1. Bank Cards
2. Car Keys
3. Mobile Phone

I might have to leave the phone & take my tax records instead though :(

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

1. Wife

2. Son

3. Wallet :D

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

1. family
2. boyfriend (if he was here...if not then mobile so i could call him)
3. pets/ or my photos

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

second swipe at this , iron maiden collection , iron maiden collection , iron maiden collection :D :D :D :D :D :D

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

1. Whisky
2. Wine
3. Beer
:D

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

what if your pets where the cause of the fire? especially possible if they are evil! cute pets are evil, its a fact

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

hmmm ... wife and son goes without saying. In terms of posessions ... probably my iMac, as it has well over a thousand family piccies on it taken with our digi camera. And if I had a spare finger to hang it on, my camcorder bag plus the two master tapes containing family videos shot since I bought it about three years ago. Everything else is replaceable.

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

1. daughter
2. cat
3. purse containing credit cards etc

everything else can be replaced eventually after arguments with insurance company over payouts cos they always dont want to pay up!!

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

my pet's wouldnt be the cause of it......they are just animals...although cute isnt the word
last time the house nearly got burnt down it was mothers fault

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Hmm,
I feel all kinda sad now - i see all these people here saying they would save their family and stuff, yet all i have here is my 1 bed flat.

Im not a loner or nothing (honestly guvnor), in fact im moving upto Scotland soon to be back with my family and friends (im down south with work at the mo), yet im not sure i would want to save anything much.

Kinda makes you look at your priorites really. Screw the material things.

*sniff*homesick*sniff*

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Many people have a personal connection with their Bible :)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

arrrr ok

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

1) Laptop
2) Hair Straighteners
3) Aston Martin

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

why would your aston martin be in the house?

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Sorry gormless head on (again) :erm: it's a ickle replica one, DB5, that cost me an arm and a leg

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

YOUR MISSING A ARM AND A LEG! I would be less worried about what to take out side and more about getting yourself outside! :O

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

what about all our gunners stuff ;)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Well, I sleep and live in my arsenal shirt and thats really the only arsenal stuff i have! about from being a member and on the season ticket waiting list!

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

feel for you my mate , j/k ;)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

After getting my family out, I would save my Pets, Keys & Phone (can use that to replace everything else).

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

I prefer Granny Weatherwax's take on this question

There's a fire in your house, you can only take one thing out, what would you take?
Well the fire...

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Do you have a tarantula or an Iguana or something?? just with you saying cute isnt the word.

I would save.....
1.) The Dog


And thats about it really, everything else is either too heavy to be worth the risk (PC, TV, etc) or is insured anyway (Laptop, mobile, etc)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

or you could move the house away from the fire

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Almost exactly what I was going to say, the household documents folder is usually worth more than all the possesions inside the house put together.

I thinks that I would swap the underpants for the photo album collection, with some being dead they are irreplaceable.

I'm no longer a boy but I'm still a scout :D

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Strange names for pets,;)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

I think I know what you meant there.....

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

I would have to agree ( the underpants were just in case I ran out under a bus) :D
Photo albums :tu:

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Removable drive with my digital pics on it, mobile and family, anything else can be replaced

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Depends who was in the house at the time.
I suppose it would be Clio (my dog), her lead and car harness! :D
Or if it was a weekend it would be Paul, the dog, and whichever of my 2 daughters was in residence (they seem to be avoiding each other at the moment! ;) )
And photos - I have some of my Dad which can't be replaced :(

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

so you avoid the fire only to get hit by a bus, unlucky man

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Well heres what i would take.

1) Family and dog.
2) Ipod
3) PC

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Actually it's Granny Weatherwax who asks the question and that answer was given by Walter Plinge in Maskerade...

Mine's the leather jacket!

And that's one of the things I'd take, along with my business backup disks and my wallet because that's got the credit and debit cards I'd need to pay for all the stuff that I'd need in the next few days.

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

my g/f, my decks and some sausage rolls.

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Ah I see how you could have misread what I posted to think I was suggesting Granny gave that answer.

Didn't Nanny Ogg say something like "I expect you said your mum" to which he replied, "No, she can get herself out"

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

So *that's* why the others were taking their Bibles with them: as *insurance*!! :D

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

nope a dog and a cat......but the dog barks constantly.....we live in a place where there are lots of people coming and going......to the school....and she barks whenever someone walks past

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

My servers, My servers and My servers :)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Family obviously :)

Aside from that obvious one - my 3 material things would be :-

1) My laptop
2) My Lord of the Rings 1st editions :)
3) My star trek dvd's

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

1) handbag (would be lost without it and its contents...)
2) cat!!
3) Hair straighteners....

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Well, it would have to be:

1. Cats - if I could manage to find them and / or stop them fighting!
2. Girlfriend (or I'd never hear the end of it!)
3. Assuming I had my phone and keys on me, file box that's got all of the info I'd need

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

how would a bible stop a bus?

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

What??...Why?? :eek:

Don't you dare..... :nono: ;)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Depends on the size of the Bible, obviously ;)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

:wavey: :hugs: :ghugs:

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

What happens if you get hit by a bible bus?

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Well, that's just a serious test of faith! I think that's where the clean pants come in :)

Re: if you could only save 3 things

Re: if you could only save 3 things

Re: if you could only save 3 things

Re: if you could only save 3 things

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

1. Family
2. PC (or at least my harddisk)
3. My records (yes, the round black things!)

Re: if you could only save 3 things

Re: if you could only save 3 things

Re: if you could only save 3 things

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

I think that applies to all womens view of thier husbands :)
a pet, or an old chair that you dont throw out (Even though it looks horrible and isnt as comfy as it once was, your just used to it :D)

Re: if you could only save 3 things
 

Well apart from the obvious family and pets etc.

I would save -

1. Unreplaceable photos of parents
2. Metal Lockable Box - Contains Mosy of My Documents
3. Tough one would have to be the shed keys i think.
