Several books and some makeup.

A Labrador - just as well, she’d be the first thing I rescued.

A wall. Maybe a charger for my laptop but not the actual laptop.

4 shelves of novels inc. the entire Harry Potter series, Aesops Fables and Stephen King, a Turkish lamp and a miners lamp.

Not massively useful.

Books are always useful. And you can see in the dark.

A cushion and my dog.

A 2 metre tall Christmas tree and a basket of firewood - difficult to carry methinks.

An enormous, sleeping labrador. I hope it's a big bag.

Pajamas, Body Shop coconut butter, two pillows and a Bunny vs Monkey book.

An orchid, and amaryllis, a label print and a normal printer and a huge pile of ink for said printer, and immediately on the table to my left is a pen and paper with ingredients for a recipe written on it (I'm left handed otherwise it wouldn't be that side of me), also my phone and purse as I've just bought something on ebay .
