After you've gone ....
A thread currently running in another place but why not pinch the idea?
If you are half of a partnership, do you and your OH have specific roles and responsibilities regarding the running of the house, finances etc? If so - are you aware of what the other half is doing? Or, when the inevitable happens (not for about 80 years of course) and one of you is left alone, will you be able to cope easily?
Can you both access and deal with all finances, cook, operate the washing machine, set the central heating, put out the rubbish, fill the car, change the hoover bag, tax and insure the car, find the pets' vet records etc etc etc?
The other thread suggested a 'death book' (there must be a nicer name - suggestions?) where all sorts of useful snippets could be recorded.
It's a great idea - but will any of us do it. We're all likely to procrastinate on that sort of thing, aren't we?
