Do you say my or mine?

Is it yours and mine or your and mine?
Either “your and my” or “yours and my” is very likely to be folded up into “our” in normal usage, so their usage is maybe more influenced by similar constructions. I would say the preference for “yours and my” is based on the similarity to the more commonly-used “yours and mine”.
How do you say hers and mine?
