You may have read yesterday that I was researching pre=paid funerals. Mrs H and myself are hoping to go on the Queen Mary around the Med next june. Both cost about the same. My good lady said, 'I,ll get the holidays; you get the funerals' Think there was a touch of the unknown in that line. You,ve got to joke about old age , death, and disabilities or you would scream. Happy days |

Harry, Do you mean Mrs H was suggesting she went on the holiday, while you paid for the funerals? CB >|< |

Would your insurance cover the cost of a holiday for your wife? She could probably do an environmentally friendly cardboard coffin and drop it off the side of the ship. Then she wouldn't have to worry about maintaining your grave! nell |

Not going to compete against a gaggle of girls. Funny you should raise these matters though - I asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday and she said 'a widows pension'. Sorry Hal - you have just come up. It,s cremation - my wife likes making a fuel out of me. (told you about black humour). happy days |

Take Mrs H to the Med, Harry. You're a long time dead, and you can't, as far as I know, send a post-card! |

Sorry to rub it in Harry, found this little rhyme in one of my old diaries:- I can manage my bifocals, To my dentures I'm resigned, I can cope with my arthritis, But how I miss my mind, Have fun whilst you can still remember what it is. Len(Now where's my zimmer frame?) |
