What would you have on your gravestone and why (lighthearted)

Re Spike Milligan again "I told you I was ill".

Honest and reliable .

"Just keep swimming...." (From the Disney film, "Finding Nemo".) My motto for many situations.

Like the DoE, I don't want any fuss and palava. A quick in and out and over and done with will do me and let people get on with their lives. In a changing world it's more important to think about the living.

“A lot” as in about 800 pots of marmalade and loads more of jam, per annum...

“She made a lot of jam!”
For about 20 years, I have made a lot of jam, marmalade, preserves, for sale in my local church. They became very popular and I was known as the jam lady! Since I moved house not long ago, I have stopped...

" I told you I was ill " .

‘She lived.’ But I expect to be cremated, so no headstone really.

I’m not having a tombstone as I have a woodland burial organised, but if I did I’d like it to say Greatly Loved and I’d like that to be true.

It's where you left it!

I’d quite like Rose Kennedy’s

“I will not be vanquished”

but my family have suggested modifying it to

“She kept going on”

Take it as you will?

"She showed 'em" (there is a personal reason for this)

Nothing to see here, I was cremated!

or if Foxie was my proper nickname, "Gone to ground"

Her timing was terrible!

Ergonomic my husband reckons I use this word a lot. Well if some thing does not sit right it’s not and in my world it’s relevant in the home environment.

thank you, Loislovesstewie, I'll make a note of that

Keep going (it's quite often what I say in my head at the moment).

Re Spike Milligan.
I think you will find it is in Irish 'Dúirt mé leat go raibh mé breoite'.

Not waving but drowning.

A life well lived - that will do for mine.

DH says he will have one word carved on my gravestone. The word 'Why' because he says it is the most used word in my vocabulary.

“It’s where you left it” - something I say almost daily to DH.

She never watched Titanic or bought a scratchcard.

Titanic because I hate the way they 'adapted' history and hung a totally unrealistic love story onto a tragedy.

Scratchcards because they make gambling too easy by being on sale everywhere rather than making you go to a specified place like a bookies or wait for the result like a lottery.

One word ‘Resurgam’ (I will rise again).....a jokey threat to my descendants!
I believe an early submarine was called that. It didn’t.
I’ve always smiled at Spike Milligan’s...’I told you I was ill’. Apparently it didn’t make the local vicar smile and it was refused. I think he was eventually allowed it if it was in Welsh. In the same graveyard or another, I don’t know.
