Up until the last year or so I would have told DH to fight for DS1 (not his biological son) so he stays with him and his younger brother. DH knew this anyway, there would always be a risk DS's dad could try and take him but I wanted DH to fight for him to be stable in what he knew - school etc. I don't worry so much now, DS is on the verge of adulthood and will make his own mind up!

Sorry for your loss @weebarra. I don’t tend to wear accessories, let alone coordinate them, but I promise I’ll make a one-off special effort in your friend’s memory next time I leave the house.

Scatter my ashes in the river down in the village - by the two weirs that I have already hand built myself using boulders and rocks!

My death bed instruction will be do not allow anyone to come and gawp at me in my coffin. DH and DD are very aware of this, and I even had it put in my will.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy life! There will come a time when every darned bit of you will ache - get out there while you still can!

Read the messages in my bedside table but burn the box under the bed.

@Justmuddlingalong

Don't open the little pink case beside my bed. Just bin it.
Secret identity documents? Murder weapon?

Or just a vibrator?

A good friend of mine is apparently kinky enough that she’s made me promise to drive to her house and empty the ottoman in her bedroom before her parents clear her house if she dies.

Live life to the max, you never know what tomorrow may bring.
I’ve said this to my dc and this COVID19 stuff just reinforces it.
Ultimately we all will die, but just try and have as much fun as possible without hurting anyone.
You all may disagree but.....I really do not care. My life, my philosophy!!!

AlwaysLatte · 12/02/2021 22:49

To be buried not cremated after a humanist service, and that everyone should have a party (paid for by me) not a sad old wake.

To not let the abusive bastard ex near my children

And to read why in the long letter at the solicitors vault

@Pushmepullyou

I was going to say play bring me sunshine at my funeral. But now I’m tempted to change to remember you’re a Womble!
Do it! Do it! Do it 😂😂😂😂😂

@ChampagneCommunist

Do not sell my yarn at the same price I told you I paid for it.
I love this one!
Justmuddlingalong · 12/02/2021 23:21

Vibrators. I shouldn't care because I'll be dead, but thinking about it while I'm still alive makes me cringe at the thought of one of my DSs finding it.
