Fires are devastating. They change people’s lives forever. I hope no one has to go through a house fire.
So this is the question.
The house is on fire, all the family is out, and you can grab 5 more items. What are they?
I will be honest with you and tell you that I had to think long and hard about this question. Why? Well, I couldn’t think of 3 things, let alone 5! Yeah, no joke.
You see I use to work in insurance. Car, Home & Contents. So when it comes to content, I understand what it is, what it covers, and all that jazz.
Besides people, everything is replaceable.
I don’t own anything antique, or something that is one of a kind.
So what are the 5 things I would grab? Well if I had to grab anything it would be the following:
- Computer / External Hard Drive (EHD)
- Wallet
- Mobile Phone
- A painting that my (deceased) Grandfather painted
- My kid’s newborn memorabilia (it’s all in a box).
What 5 things would you grab?
I’m like you – I thought hard drive with photos on and wedding album then the rest can be replaced, maybe some of the kids memorabilia?
I’m actually going to upload some of my fav family photo’s online so I know that I at least have something.
Because you just never know.
Yep, photos and phone was pretty much my thing too – and I do have a fondness for my Foxtel IQ box!!!!
You sound so organised!!!
I would say working in insurance does that to you.
The painting would be a special one to grab should the need arise, but as you say, it’s just stuff. But, it’s stuff we like and it makes us happy – then again building a new home with more stuff can be pretty fun too (as long as I don’t end up homeless)
Due to circumstances outside of my control, I never got to know my grandfather. I knew it was an excellent painter. This picture of me is one he painted, and was given to my by my Aunt when she came to visit last year, 6 months after he died.
We visited him back in 2012, so at least I got to meet him before he died. So it’s my special memento.
That is a tough one! I like the idea of grabbing my computer since all the pictures are saved on it. I think I’d like to grab the photo album that we keep parents/grandparents pictures in it. The rest ya can be replaced, so I guess I would grab my wallet and passport (ID’s take forever to get replaced, LOL) This will sound bad, but I think I’d grab my first ever marathon finisher medal too:)
I mentioned id didn’t I?
Yeah ID is such a pita to replace. Which is why I keep digital copies of my passport and birth certificate online. Because getting it replaced, makes it so much easier.
When I got married back in 2008, I couldn’t find my original birth certificate, that goodness I had a photocopy, made applying for a new one so much easier.
Oh and grabbing the medal, just goes to show how much you love running. I think that’s awesome.
