A recent study by My Voucher Codes, found that in the event of a house fire, 43% of Brits would save either their computer or mobile phone before the family pet.

We obviously love our gadgets, but could never imagine putting our computers before our pets.

The study polled 1,219 pet owners in the UK and asked them the multiple-choice question 'In the event of a house fire, what would be the first thing you would save?'

For most of us our laptops holds all of our 'valuable information' from photos and videos, to important paper work, so we understand why people would grab their laptops first, but maybe these people shouldn't own pets.

According to their results, below are the top 10 things Brits would save in a fire.

1. Laptop/Computer -24%
2. Mobile phone - 18%
3. Family pet - 14%
4. Games console - 12%
5. Clothing - 9%
6. Wallet/purse - 8%
7. Jewellery - 6%
8. Photo albums - 4%
9. iPod/MP3 player - 3%
10. Camera - 2%

What's In Your Wallet Wednesday: Jenny Burgesse

Today we delve deep into the inner caverns of Jenny Burgesse's bag, which she has managed to jam pack full of lovely technological goodness. Besides anything else, she's going to have to send me that bag, as I love it. She shouldn't be too upset though, as for services to What's In Your Wallet I'm going to send her the uber-cute Fairybit Mimobot.

Read on for an explanation of all you see before you (*very* helpfully numbered by Jenny). If you have bag guts to spill send me a photo and explanation here. Whoever appears next week will be receiving Blue Dragon for the Xbox 360, so get in there early.

What's In Your Wallet Wednesday: Alex Roumbas

What? It's Wednesday? But I thought it was...? But yesterday was....? Oh, that must mean that I forgot to put this up yesterday. Huh.

So, today is Thursday, and Alex has stepped up to the mark and showed us what she's squeezed into her minimalist bag. The person who sends me one for next week will be the proud receiver of one of these special edition Mimobots.
Send your entry to me here, along with some pretty words about what it is that's in the photo.

We continue our Shiny Quest to find out just how much gadget-loveliness we're all carrying around in our bags with the lovely Rachel. She is an active member of the Shiny Fashion Forums, totalling a pretty impressive 7,808 posts to date, and a regular reader of Shiny Shiny. She was kind enough to not only empty her bag (a hideous thing for anyone to do) but take photos, and tell us about her haul. Here's the pic, and get yourself over the jump for what exactly you're looking at.
