If you had to write your own epitaph what would you like it to be?

I would be disappointed if mine was "She had a very tidy house" which is also unlikely since I'm very messy. But I would like to be thought of as someone who made life more agreeable or fun. What would yours be?

BumpityBumpityBump! Go on what do you really want people to think of you/remember you for. It's a useful exercise to refocus and change perspective for our daily grind.

Well so far all I can think it will say is this:

Blardy hell... she's finally silent and still!

lol

Oooh good question. I would like mine to say that I tried to treat others as I wanted to be treated.

Sounds twee but that would be nice. Unless you are a masochist of course, and then maybe not.

Let's hope you don't want to be treated like royalty then - you'd run out of red carpet!

mine would say "but I haven't finished yet...!"

Madora · 11/01/2007 14:42

I suspect that after today, mine will be "She spent too much time on Mumsnet and enarly forgot to pick the kids up from school!"

"Just reading this last paragraph"

Here lies Detention Grrrl. Although she was a very tired mammy, she did her best. She also had cracking knockers.

mine would be: she came. she saw. she is no more

"NOW will you leave me the fuck in peace!"

I like Blackadder's choice: "Here lies Blackadder. And he's bloody annoyed."

If we're thinking of these as life focussers (very good point!) then mine definitely would NOT be "I wish I'd spent more time in the office". Perhaps it might be "gave great hugs" or "dab hand with the uhu".
