Please tell us about how a hedgehog changed your life

Ignore me, I've just seen your later post. I'd love to see them when they're bigger

I thought it was an American term. I have a bedside table.
Usually on it at night, kindle, glasses, tissues, mug with dregs of cup of tea, radio/alarm, hand cream.

Son's lego (ffs), water bottle, ear pods, iPhone, hand cream, vitamin supplements, engagement ring, hair clip. No lamp tho! Needed one for ages but never get one!

Lamp, water bottle, tissues, kindle, cup of tea, cerial bar and triptans

Water
Mini fan
Tray with a decorative piece on
That's it

Wow, you all have so much stuff on your bedside tables!

I've got my phone and a lamp

@comeondover it is silly really. When I met my DP now I was in a really bad situation. I was at a pub with my friends who all knew him. We all walked home together and trailed off one by one. He lived just past me so it ended up just him and me.
I won't go on and tell you the situation I was in but it was awful.
I don't believe in 'signs' or religion but about a week before I was sitting in my garden I whispered 'God I need to know what to do, I need a sign' heard a scurry and saw a hedgehog. Thought nothing of it.

When DP ( not at the time) was walking me home we saw a hedgehog.
Me in my desperation took that as a sign that he was the one who would make it all better.

12 years later I have a wonderful life with a man who won't even raise his voice at me. He stood by me while he was being stalked by a man with a crow bar (my ex)
I asked him to walk away and stay safe. What he did is got me a contract secret phone, he made my best friend aware of everything going on and he formed a support network for me. He took on my daughter, who is now 16 and they have an amazing relationship, he gave me 2 beautiful albeit crazy little girls and encouraged me to stand up for myself.

Had I not have seen that hedgehog I genuinely believe I wouldn't have allowed him to get close to me.
So the hedgehogs are a reminder to me of how far I have come. He makes me all things hedgehog not to remind me of that night and everything, he makes them to remind me of my strength that I got out and should I ever feel weak again that I am not.

I don't know if any of this makes any sense but I will not say DP changed my life. Me believing in a spiky rodent did. So all over my home there are hedgehogs. In my home they symbolise strength. In my home they symbolise bravery. In my home they symbolise new life.

My 'nightstand' is an Edwardian washstand hence the amount of space for crap...

@puddingandsun
Mainly for my insomnia, I spray it on my feet and legs. I've found it helps me get back to sleep quicker rather than laying awake for hours when I wake at night. I read about it on here.

I have bedside drawers, the kind that have millions of small drawers for all the stuff.
On them are: lamps, books, a shrine, iPad, charger and a ceramic hand for rings.(when I remember to take them off)

Really?! Oh I'm envious... but 50? Wow

I have two bedside chests of drawers, and the same things are on them most of the time. On one side, a lamp, two small framed pictures, my pill case, my cats' pill bottles, my watch, earplugs and a necklace. On the other, another lamp, my wifi dongle at night, water bottle, tube of hand cream, lip balm, phone and a book. Occasionally there will be a cat bumbling around investigating everything.
