Hi

Already sorted.

I am a great lover of life, I value every single minute.

The day I need someone to spoon feed me or wipe my bum I will be out of here.

That is not life, that is hell.

I have no wish, intention or desire to allow that to happen.

I will most certainly not squander Guy's money on that.

I am a scientist, a Nuclear, Chemical and Bacteriological Specialist.

I will kill anyone who tries to kill me, I am quite good at that, it will be my choice.

When I no longer wish to live, it will be my decision and I will be gone quickly, in seconds.

A Palytoxin, grown in my aquarium, no antidote and no pain.

Hi

It is good stuff.

It was part of my job to find ways of treating weaponised versions of it.

I, and others, have failed in this.

We can treat Novichok, the Salisbury Poison, at great expense and only with very quick intervention.

There is no antidote to concentrated Palytoxin and it is fatal in seconds.

It is my choice, my decision.

The version I have is not transmissible, no risk to anyone else.

I will not put the lives of NHS Staff at risk or anyone else for that matter.

It can get difficult when step families etc are involved.

I only have the money I have because my husband died

My children are not his children, they are from a previous marriage.

Unfortunately my children are complete wastes of space, never worked a day in their lives and would, as one of my friends put it, pish it all up against a wall.

So, in my will 50% of the proceeds will be split between my husband's family. The other 50%, the kids will get a set amount each and the rest will go to charity.

If my kids become aware of this arrangement they will challenge the will, which is why it's all being left in the hands of a solicitor, then there's no arguing.

Re: Are your affairs in order ?

No, my affairs are not in order, never have been and never will be. I am just not that type of person. I am actually quite good at planning things but I have always lived day to day so 'Que Sera' as they say.

Re: Are your affairs in order ?

Yes im sorted , ive been preparing to leave the planet for ages it seems . Just had power of attorney registered , and my will is up to date . I keep chucking stuff out so its easier for the kids to sort but there still seems to be a lot of junk as i call it .

I can immagine its a nightmare sorting through parents belongings and paperwork so want it easy as possible for them

Just reading a story the other day about a guy in Australia who found a small shell on the beach, he thought he’d take it home so he stuffed it down his shorts, inside was a blue ringed octopus, one of the most deadliest creature on the planet, he was lucky to be alive, .. you haven’t got one of them have you swims?
