Recently, in Western Australia, there have been many adverts on the TV regarding pre-arranged funerals.

After discussing the pros and cons of such arrangements my OH and I decided that there was considerable merit in the idea.

Conequently, I phoned one of the advertisers and was pleased to tell my OH that her's was next Thursday at 10.00am.

My nose has stopped bleeding, but I'm finding it difficult to look for my teeth because of my swollen eyes :-(

lol Roy,

I thought that I would be fair to her and give her the opportunity to alter her will :-)

It didn't work she still wants her money to go with her, so I've arranged with the bank for a cheque to be drawn up which will also be cremated :-D :-D

"i must not make any funeral arrangements unless they are my own!" :-D
