Juxtaposition...

We considered it, MiniMouse. They did sell it well. I think we were scared they would keep us in once they'd lured us in there!

Maggiemaybe Perhaps you should have gone and just looked on it as a minibreak

grandma60, one of our local care homes went one better. They sent DH and me an invitation to spend a long weekend there and see what they had to offer. He was 55 and I'd just turned 50. I was tempted to take them up on it!

I have an almost 44 year old and an almost 28 year old (with several in between!) I've obviously got the b*****s confused because I get neither!!

I have a 46 year old and most of my e-mails are still for baby and nursery products.

grandma60 At least it gave you a long time to consider your options!

I have never been sent funeral plans but12 years ago when I turned 50 I received an invitation with a brochure to look.round a care home.

We haven`t planned our funerals, but we do have a funeral fund, which, after reading about how much funerals cost, is woefully short of what`s needed. All you lot bemoaning how old your offspring are, you`re nowt but spring chickens, mine are 43, 45, 48, 50, and 51, it really does make you feel old when your offspring pass their own half century!

For those who use Facebook etc, if you 'amend' your age/date of birth, adverts and emails etc that you receive are magically changed to a different age group Having said that, it does also depend on what shopping websites you use! Can't win completely!

Mine are 45 and 48, but I was only 17 when the 48 year old was born.
When I get a phone call asking me about a funeral plan, I just say I've got one. Not true, but they do not know. It gets them off the phone quicker.

I'd rather plan my next holiday! After all I won't be there at the funeral! x

I too am the mother of a 45 year old and a 40 year old but am a mere stripling at 62 -it was the sixties!! No funeral plan e-mails though - yet. what's worrying me is I have a 30 year old GS and a 26 year old GD intent on making me a GGM!!

I never get 'plan your funeral' emails. Perhaps I am immortal.

At 70, they must think I'm past being able to plane anything.

When I turned 50 and was bemoaning the fact to DS1, he said "Tell me about it, I'm 30 you know!"

I did point out that yes, I did know because I was actually there at the time!

Nest month I will become the mother of a 45 year old I have had several plan your own funeral communications.

I seem to have been invited to plan my funeral every day for the last few weeks, I don't think I will bother just yet. Haven't acquired any more grown up children yet though (thankfully!)

A week today I will be the mother of a 44-year-old, Marmight. Just had a look at my emails - so far no mention of funerals, but it's only a matter of time!
