I love the
fact that Loose Women discussed funerals and death today because so many people
think it's too taboo. Because we are getting older and because I am bi-polar we
discuss such morbid stuff regularly. We did this for an hour and half the other
night just before we went to sleep. Mines Mr Husband doesn't want a funeral at
all. He says its a waste of money. Much like going to the dentist. Another
thing he won't do. He doesn't want anyone told either- nope not no-one- unless
they ask specifically. It will be like, 'how is Steve? Is he dead?' Yep- I get
asked that all the time so I do. I say 'no- he is just reading. He don't be
moving a lot so he don't'. So all alone, I have to get rid of the body and then
carry on like nothing as happened. Then I am to cremate him- which means
putting him in the toaster I think. Our toaster tends to be where we cremate most
stuff. Then I can keep him in a pot near the fireplace. Which we don't have!! A
fireplace- not a pot. I don't want ye all thinking we ain't even got a pot to
pi*s in-or put bodies in. I told him I will take a bit of him in a little bag
where-ever I go so he is always with me if he likes. I haven't decided which
bit yet. Then I told him that I want a big funeral, lots of weeping and
sobbing. Everyone I know is to be there. There will be reading out of letters
from me to everyone- yep even the arseholes. I will tell them all straight so I
will. Then I want my favourite songs- The fair's moving on by Elvis and The
Comedians by Roy Orbison. With a bit of Robbie Williams thrown in. Then I want
salmon on cobs like me ol' mother-in-law would have done it. With a bit of
cucumber. And loads of cake. I want someone to do Wrecking Ball and a bit of
twerking and I would like someone to whip me nae nae. Then I want to be a tree.
I deffo want to be a tree. So, there we are, laid there before we go to sleep
talking funerals. Well mine, cos he don't want one remember? Then he says 'I
think ye needs a therapist me little pumpkin'. Me need a therapist? He's the
one that don't be wanting a funeral. So I finally agreed to a therapist. We are
currently deciding whether a therapist should sleep in my bed or have his own
room. Well I am discussing it. Mines Mr Husband seems to be a little shy of the
idea! I don't know why- he suggested the feckin therapist in the first place!
