  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭mackeire


    i live in an apartment so i'd start by locking that d1ckhead that lives downstairs in the fire then i'd save my dartboard, dog, crate of cans, 50" tv, and my son. I'd leave the missus there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Feck the rescue... I'm insured & any valuable data is off site, I would then get everything brand new

    although I suppose insurance wouldn't replace the OH?

    I would have grabbed the laptop, sure wouldn't the heat of your apartment burning down keep you warm!

    Don't really need anything else to be honest. The only must haves are the first two.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 461 ✭✭carefulnow100


    1. laptop
    2. Tv
    3. xbox
    4. Some personal stuff from my Gf
    5.Golf clubs.





    This thread made me sad, I just realised I don't have a lot of Important things in my life!! All except one could be bought again!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 758 ✭✭✭whydoibother?


    1. Passport
    2. Photos
    3. The "personal documents" folder (birth certs, bank stuff, medical history stuff, God knows what else is in there, but would be a nightmare trying to collect it all again.)
    4. A few childhood toys

    That's all I'd really care about but for the sake of having 5:

    5. Some of my favourite clothes.

    I've just realized how little stuff I have that I actually care about/isn't replaceable. I don't know whether that's good - meaning I'm not particularly materialistic, or bad - am not together enough to own anything expensive yet.:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 107 ✭✭MangoLime


    Excluding my family and my dog:

    1) My teddy (had him since I was a baby, I'd be heartbroken if I lost him!)
    2)Keys
    3)Box I have that contains all my important documents
    4)My glasses
    5)My watch that my parents gave me as a present


    Everything else-It would suck to lose them, but I'd cope.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,770 ✭✭✭LeeHoffmann


    guys, people aren't possessions - you don't have to include them on your list!
    1. important photos
    2. important jewellery
    3. fave cards
    4. my handbag
    5. a dressing gown? (if it's night - it's cold out there)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 TrollyDolly


    Handbag.....basically everything but the OH is in it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,772 ✭✭✭Cú Giobach


    3 dogs,
    Tobacco pouch,
    Lighter.

    Was caught in a flat fire once and rescued by the fire brigade, as I watched my belongings being destroyed (I didn't even think of grabbing something) the only thing going through my head was how lucky I was, the "stuff" meant nothing when it actually came to it.

    Thanks for reminding me, I've got to set up my online back-up for my files. :)

    Phone, because it would be a pain in the ass to replace.
    Cards, as above.

    Love that you had to edit to save your OH :D

    Two dogs, two cats and the wife ... ah wife's handbag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,221 ✭✭✭Greentopia


    Laptop
    Bag
    photos
    jewellery
    as many books as I could carry

    I'm tempted to say my lovely cast iron Le Creuset casserole but the weight of that would mean I'd probably not be able to get anything else out in time, including perhaps myself :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,984 ✭✭✭✭kippy


    Wife, Child, Passport, Set of keys, mobile phone.

    I actually had a scare this morning, a telegraph pole right outside my house went on fire, but it was spitting sparks and was so loud that at the time I thought my house was on fire. Totally panicked and couldn't even find a key to get out, nevermind grab anything important. I'd be so useless in an emergency. But anyway:

    My favourite guitar
    My favourite book
    My passport
    My laptop
    My contraceptive pill
