OOOHHH Melly - you could have some fun with the money thing! but, you wouldn't be so mean as to let them think you are even considering paying it? (where is the tongue-in-cheek smiley when you want it?).
don't worry about where and when the funeral is - there are easy ways to find out. Nice nephew will probably tell you - if not just ring the most likely florist they would use on the pretext of 'checking the delivery address is correct'. this is usually to funeral directors (if you don't have a good idea which they will use) - and the funeral directors wont refuse to give out the arrangements details.0 -
We will be fine I know which funeral directors so gonna call tomorrow to check details.
Fun will be had.0 -
OH ate!
Most of a roast beef dinner
Yay
Right dog walk, t cat spoiling, shower, wash up, t cat, dogs, bed0 -
That's a good sign Melly - getting his apatite back.
you sound a lot better today. seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now?0 -
Managing to make OH find their behaviour funny instead of getting upset. I think the fact they smashed the stuff they were stealing helped him.
Plus feel too rank (stupid cold)0 -
Well, the expression 'THICK as thieves' DOES seem to fit doesn't it? they aren't half as clever as they think they are - as my old nan would say.0

If she's having the service at a crematorium, you can phone them directly to ask when it is.mellymoo74 wrote: »Oh and still haven't actually said when it is........All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Luckily they let slip the funeral home whilst they weren't thinking and I remember stuff.
Yep Meri nowhere near as smart as they think. Plus I genuinely believe that it's cursed as it's stolen0 -
'Things' you have no right to, bring you no joy! I believe that too melly - my nan (who was a very wise woman), believed it too.
I also believe that 'what goes around, comes around'. I think SIL is already receiving that. Aunt must have it to come. If not in this life then in the next.0 -
Aunt knows it's Coming I Think. Can't look at OH.
Oh apparently aunts flowers are going on top of the coffin er are they0
