could you bring something personal?
now i live in holiday camp style uni halls when i do go home i find the blanket we keep on the back of the sofa the best thing in the world?
it just makes me think of sitting infront of the fire playing with my cat and watching tv and not worrying about anything.......because here i dont have a sofa or a cat or a front room or a tv....

I'd thought of a blanket, it does fufil all the requisite criteria, comforting, supportive, reassuring etc. the only guidance I have is that it has to be an object, so within reason anything goes,

cheers for the help guys, I'm not very good at stuff like this

I vote for a teddybear too. Or some kind of toy?
