    I did that life expectancy thingy. I get 97.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    I really qant some nice flannel sheets. Toast did ( extortionate) ones with red and blue stripe laast year, but not this year. They have double sided ones this year which i fo not like so much.

    I googled some wonderfully cheerful christmas tree ones in us, but...no one coming over to bring them before november...and christmas trees only really work for a month a year.

    All the other british ones i have found are too plain or too.....grannyish :(

    Imho sheets should be cool crisp cotton with lots of threads, silk is too slippery and anything warm is just unpleasant - but then our house is always 22 degrees in the day and 18 at night all through the winter.

    I've some (most possibly) reliable friends state-side - if I asked them to receive and forward some to you they'd be pleased to do so for nothing more than the cost of doing so. They take paypal.

    Don't panic (if that seems short to you)!
    It's not legallly binding. :D

    It kind of invites you to try again with different lifestyles e.g what difference would smoking less do (a lot of extra time for very little change would be my guess).

    Chance to explore options. :)
