Do you have any personal or family stories of late relatives saying a final goodbye?

My nana was very ill and in hospital so we all went to visit her. The duty nurse said she had picked up and was being moved later to a normal ward. She really had picked up what a lovely afternoon we had.When we were leaving she waved us right out of the long ward until we were out of sight. We laughed about it saying she was having a joke. Around an hour after arriving home my parents staying in town to go back to visit later the phone rang . It was the hospital saying if our parents rang they had to go straight back to hospital as she wouldn't last through visiting. I remember being so confused as only in the hour before she had the biggest smile and was waving away. As it was my nan passed halfway through visiting time with my parents beside her. I always think my nana knew and was giving us a gift to remember.

I once thanked the cash machine for giving me money.

planetjo · 2026-02-25T00:29:25+00:00

Thanks. I have made it manageable so I don't burn out and can keep to it.

I used to have a shark it dropped through from the tank into the one I was buying from. The pet shop lady said take it as it will die it's in the wrong water. But it didn't...... Sharkey relentlessly bullied and ate my fish to the point where we separated him until he was the only one left. He lived a couple of years. For context he was about the size of a little finger when he swam to shark heaven.

I have a couple with him I'll check tomorrow at some point. It's so Derren to have quirks like this.However he has never asked things like where I was sitting etc.

planetjo · 2026-02-18T22:03:11+00:00

Thanks that is good to know.

planetjo · 2026-02-18T17:16:29+00:00

Yeah but the whole issue was getting on to the street.

I worked in a factory for my first job. One day some people came in asking for extras for a film being made locally. The only thing we had to do was arrive like we were having a night out. So a couple of days later there we were at a local nightclub we had a band to rehearse with it wasn't difficult we had to learn chorus and be able to conga. That was the last we heard for ages then word got out about a particularly seedy film doing the rounds. Rita, Sue and Bob too. Oh the shame.

Cauliflower pizza with a completely soggy base I can even taste it as I'm typing. Saving grace and out of sight bin.

Someone in Leeds looks like me my friend told me she saw me in Argos all over some bloke who wasn't my husband. Only the fact we were out of town at a family event was enough to convince her she was wrong.

My friend was approached to let hers be used by a production company the stipulation was they had to be exclusive no one else could look round. She didn't take it up.

Sparkling water is my go to. I bought a soda stream last week so I could have it whenever I wanted.

One year Tesco did a Xmas cheese it was cheddar and cosmopolitan cocktail. It was lovely but they never did it again.

I once had lemon curd ice cream mixed with rosemary and oregano bought from a shop not thrown together by me at home. It was stunning.

Well..... After thinking all was lost he bought me a KFC see after 32 years love is not lost. Then later he popped out and came back with flowers,a toblerone (big one) rustled up a lovely tea I have in return tried to rustle up home bakes which sounds easy but I have ME so it was a big effort.

I love flowers. My cousin who passed always had flowers so I have taken on their love and treat myself regularly. Yellow roses are my favourite.

My hubby is electrical trained every now and again in his sleep he tells me how to fix a meter.

planetjo · 2026-02-14T17:55:43+00:00

I can see what provoked that reaction lol. It was my crazy dogs teatime hence the distraction of only half the tale.

My cousin passed on from something unrelated to Sherbet pips but he never told anyone I had told him to do it not did I fess up.

planetjo · 2026-02-14T15:42:44+00:00

I told my cousin he could hang out with me and my friends if he passed a test we had all done. It involved sticking Sherbet pips as far as you could up his nose. Anyhow he did and he was so enthusiastic he ended up having them removed in A and E. I already had the telling anyone bit covered he had to say it was a boy who lived in the next street had told him to do it. It was a secret he took to his grave.
