Not even able to get to the bookcase to find assorted books with the details I wanted, I wrote down instructions for Howard - compost to grit ration, depth to plant bulbs, planting diagrams for each pot. Then he wanted instructions to make risotto like I do, so that got written down, along with a few other regulars from my repertoire.<br /><br />When Howard ended up in plaster with damaged knee ligaments, the gas and water stopcock locations were added, plus which fuse in the fusebox operated what part of the house, how much seaweed and garlic to add to the hens' feed, when they were last wormed, emergency phone numbers and so forth.<br /><br />Since then, we kept adding useful stuff to the file. At present trying to collate a list of paint shades used - from the front door to the garden shed.Blue Shed Thinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988028935854371365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-44284166114503598372014-04-26T14:34:38.032+00:002014-04-26T14:34:38.032+00:00Oh John, for a really tasty cottage pie, try addin...Oh John, for a really tasty cottage pie, try adding one of those Knorr stockpots (Rich Beef flavour) in boiling water, to the mince.

Anyway, wills, already done and did us a favour as we sorted out a piece of land that we used and is now ours. Worth b*gger all, but there in the estate. Anything important, I email to the daughter and she keeps a 'virtual file'. Mother has made a will, but as for lasting power of attorney, she thinks that giving me her PIN number counts. Shakes head. Well done on sorting stuff out, it is bad enough losing a loved one without finding a whole heal of crap. Hugs! No-one likes to face their own mortality. I'm doing a Princess Margaret, cremation and internment in the family grave.

Chuck my ashes in the river, no one is digging me up! and the song I want as I pass behind the curtain? Queen we are the champions. Played as loud as can be. I also quite fancy Bath Crem. Why? The picture window over looking the hill down. I have never seen anything like it, stunning.<br /><br />I have older parents, so I have had conversations with them. hence I have thought about what I would like.<br /><br />My Sister and my Best Friend also know everything as well. I also know my Best Friends plans. She has children, and is on her own. <br /><br />Its quite a touchy subject but one everyone should have a few thoughts about.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-16495215273405943062014-04-25T18:35:48.614+00:002014-04-25T18:35:48.614+00:00He doesn't give a reason - just changes the su...He doesn't give a reason - just changes the subject as quickly as he can.
