Cushion or dog!

Large cinnamoroll soft toy

Kindle. Not too bad, at least it's hard

Electric guitar

MercianQueen · 24/08/2025 23:20

Glass of wine and a Swiss Army knife. Think I’d be ok 😆

A pair of slippers.
So bend over aliens!

Ear buds, the dog and a pillow.

I win - a small, cute, fluffy dog who identifies as a huge wolf when her humans are threatened. Honestly she’ll have their faces off (ok she’ll bark a bit and then go hide in her crate)

A large sleepy labrador. To be fair his farts could drop a rhino at 10 paces so he may be useful 😷🤢

CeciliaDuckiePond · 25/08/2025 07:51

My female cat. She is quite feisty - I'm in good hands.

A glass of water and a tube of Durex lube. Hopefully he will ‘slip away’ …

Lampros · 25/08/2025 08:06

Luckily...a glass of water! Works everytime!

A pillow and a fluffy cat 😂

Ear plugs

Funnywonder · 25/08/2025 08:15

A 4mm crochet hook. Also yarn snippers. I always make sure I’m prepared for any attack, alien or otherwise😆

Clawdy · 25/08/2025 08:17

An empty coffee mug and a coaster!

Kingofthetyrantlizards · 25/08/2025 08:21

My 4yo and my 6mo... I can use my 6mo as bait and watch my 4yo go feral protecting her baby brother. Or she'll give him up to save herself, could go either way tbh....

A coffee mug and a dopey spaniel!

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 25/08/2025 09:11

I don’t fancy my chances here…it’s toilet roll.

Missey85 · 25/08/2025 09:25

A TV remote and my cat 😺 😂

Scary sausage dog 😁

I'll be ok I think, got a hefty Marian Keyes book... & a TV remote for backup 😄

HelloDaisy · 25/08/2025 09:30

I’ve got a badminton racquet and shuttlecock which may be good if only my aim was better!

OneWildNightWithJBJ · 25/08/2025 09:30

My son’s passport and some sweet potato peelings.

DustyMaiden · 25/08/2025 09:33

An Apple Pencil. It might be more use for that as no Bluetooth connection required.
