    So after unloading the shopping, Mrs C and Mr C are in the garage rifling through Enid's stuff to find something to bury her in and also some keep sakes to add to the coffin. Which I think is pointless, but probbaly a good way of clearing the garage by burning it at the Radyr crem.

    Thought her name was Edna, great story btw[/QUOTE]

    Oh god, I hope I havent been using the wrong name in conversations with Mr and Mrs C! How rude - OH GOD, I FEEL AWFUL.

    They keep referring to her as "mum". Edna/Enid, I dont know. Eek

    The only way I am going to find out her name is surely to have a look at the plaque on the coffin lid.

    spoke too soon

    Mrs C has nipped in for a wee and is discussing the obituary notice. They are over there writing it in the campervan. She has just read it to Mrs J and it is deffo Enid.

    However, I was listening from upstairs, but they must have been talking about someone else because I dont remember that Enid "peacefully fell asleep" when she was changing the mattress cover, fell back on my pilates board and wailed like a banshee, unless she suffered from Narcolepsy.

    At least they will move out of the caravan/motorhome and live in the house when we are gone. I bet it isnt very fuel efficient..

    they are alright people, their hearts are in the right place, just they are a bit "forward". I get a sense that everyone on their street were in and out of everyone elses houses all day
