Nope. Sometimes I think losing all my worldly possessions would be quite refreshing.
Not enough to set fire to the house though...
I have a scalpel handle that was given to me on my first day of my first proper job, it has my old bosses initials etched onto the side of it and I've had it for over 30 years. It could be replaced for a couple of pounds but I would be genuinely gutted if I lost it. Funny thing is that I didn't even like the boss he was an ill mannered grumpy old sod but I had some good times in that job.

Same here. Don't own anything that I'd miss if we got burgled or the house exploded.
The stiff yard broom I got from my grandads shed after he died. I've replaced the handle 3 times and the head 5 times but I'll never buy a new one as there's too many happy memories of him with that broom. :'(
Calculator I liberated from my last staff job in 2007.

It's helped me do around 750 invoices worth £££ since then and is the closest thing I have to a lucky charm.
No, I don't have a very exciting life.
Looks like perchy's lost his favourite lunchbox. Hope is just the photo that's gone.
25-year-old tatty Troll chalk bag.
Necro thread?
Nasal spray. Been addicted for 25 years. Always have at least 3 on the go at any one time. The sense of panic I have if I can't find one is immense.

Worry not. The lunchbox is alive and well and sitting on my desk protecting the wondrous bounty within. All is well......apart from being slightly creeped out by the random thread resurrection.
Got a few surprisingly as I don't much worry about losing and breaking stuff generally.
My K2 Seth Skis, My all-yellow Flite Ti, my Macbook 2,1 and my Megavalanche screen print.

yeah, I'd be gutted if it ever died.
My last day at sixth form coincided with a beer festival in my home town. I still have the glass (not the original, that was broken on the day. My mate Pete donated his to me that afternoon). Twenty five years next year...

You must be gutted.

I'd be gutted if I lost him, but he keeps trying to faceplant himself to death.
Car tyres it seems 😐
MrsSB complains that I don't let her drive my (rather nice) car very often. So on Saturday I told her to drive it back from Wales while I took the Golf.
Within 5 miles she'd kerbed it, destroying both [brand new] nearside tyres and making a mess of the wheels.
Made us 4 hours late for Carfest, cost £200 to get the car back to Chester and a further £440 for another pair of tyres. Repairs to the wheels is yet to be determined 🙁
I was gutted.
loddrick, I sympathise; but I have to ween myself off it if I use it twice a day for three days in a row because I worry about it making things worse. You don't use it every day do you?
I may be wrong here but haven't you already replaced it 3 times?.... I've replaced the handle 3 times and the head 5 times but I'll never buy a new one as there's too many happy memories of him with that broom. :'(
I may be wrong here but haven't you already replaced it 3 times?
...wooooosh!!!

Alright dave
My Nexus 7 2013 tablet has had two close encounters with death since getting it Xmas 2015, think I'd be gutted if something happened to it, very handy for getting an interweb fix on the move.
Guitar my dad bought me for my 16th birthday, it's laminate rather than real wood and I have a better one now, but my old Gibson Epiphone pr5-e is literally priceless, it's like this one but black.
The bridge cracked so it's been glued back together and. I've replaced the plastic pins with bone pins which I died by soaking them in tea.

Nothing material really. I do get attached to things like caps when they are really worn in and stinky. But then they inexplicably get thrown out and I have to start the process of wearing in a new one.
My Parker 51 ballpoint pen, which belonged to my Grandad, a journalist. I've used it all my working life. Lost it a few months ago and was amazed at the cost of replacements. Thanks goodness it turned up; I'd left it on someone's desk and they had just left it in a corner as it's so beaten-up and scruffy. I had the idea of getting the receptionist to make an announcement on the tannoy and two minutes later I had my pen back.
The Tissot watch given to me on my 18th birthday. A few new batteries and 1 service is still looks good, runs to time and is worn regularly. I'd be very sad if that went anywhere.
This isn't mine but it looks like this.
