What is okay on the day of the funeral?

[Mumofteens4]

Do you think it would be okay to do my washing and hang it out tomorrow (the day of the Queen’s state funeral), if I stick to blacks?

😁

🙄 I hope you're joking
Basically anything is ok tomorrow that would be ok any day. I probably would go out banging a drum shouting "I hate the Queen" but then I wouldn't do that any other day of the year either

Seriously? We’re going to the beach to scatter our dogs ashes, never crossed my mind that this wasn’t OK - is it a huge faux pas? Should we just be staying in?

Nothing fun outside of the home. But that’s ok, cos everything fun has closed anyway.

Do whatever you want

I don't even know if this is a joke or not at this point.

Is it ok if I let DC play on their Switch instead of watching the funeral? I know I should force them to sit and watch it for six hours because of the HISTORY but I then I don't want to watch it either. Do you think they'll forgive me when they're older for not taking a firm hand and making them watch it?

Yes I am serious; I don’t want to offend. But the weather for the rest of the week is dreadful

Pubs are open.

Just do your washing in the normal way OP

Ffs. Who is going to be offended?

But they'll probably have the funeral on their TVs. That's not very fun.

Seriously?? Come on op.

Not all day though! We booked lunch at 12pm and it got cancelled because they are opening at 1pm for drinks & 2pm for food 🙄

Absolutely not.
How could you even consider hanging out washing on the day our Queen is buried.
You are acting as if life goes on, as if our whole world hasn't just come to a halt.
Ridiculous.

😂😂😂 this has to be a joke surely?! Who would be offended by some washing on a line?

Seriously? We’re going to the beach to scatter our dogs ashes, never crossed my mind that this wasn’t OK - is it a huge faux pas? Should we just be staying in?

Sounds perfectly in keeping, given that the Queen herself loved dogs so much.

Sorry for your loss, btw. Hope the beach brings you comfort.

I’m having my bathroom ripped out.

It’s what she would have wanted.

Are you having a laugh?

How very dare you. All of you.

Who do you think you would be offending really? Doris whose window overlooks your garden! Perhaps you should be asking yourself why you would worry about something like this.

Good one OP!

@ChimChimeny oh really, I'd better check before we set off out then. Was planning dog walk then pub lunch.

Did washing today but otherwise I’d do tomorrow.

I will contemplate the life of the Queen as I do my decorating and my washing 😁
