How would you spend it. I was thinking this when I woke up at 4.00 am this morning for some reason!

Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll for me, but not necessarily in that order

I might opt for the Greggs version 😀

I am going to a classical concert this afternoon, if I was to depart during the winter of the four seasons then I think it would be appropriate.

Well it’s turned out even better for me as my champers 🍾🥂was in celebration rather than commiseration with a totally unexpected win for United against City ⚽️.

My dad is so happy he’s going to trot to the pub for a celebratory pint 🍺

I’d spend it being b****y annoyed as I’m due to go on holiday tomorrow 😃

This could be the last day for any of us, I wouldn't want to know if it were my last day but if I did then it would be spent with people I love to hopefully make a good memory for them.

😁😁

I’ve just spent most of the afternoon setting up my new PC as the ‘old’ one died. I’ll be pretty cross if it turns out to be my last day!

Gwylit thanks for the lyrics, it’s an excellent video too, I’ve always loved the song (and the singer!!)

It’s now evening. I’m not sure if I have made the most of the day, I tidied round, did a bit of food shopping, went for a short walk and went swimming. Fish and chips in the evening and hopefully a drama on the telly! A pleasant enough day, no dramas and I have a couple of books to read.

M0nica Sat 25-May-24 15:03:28

I would continue the day, just as planned.

Smileless2012 thank you 😊

An elderly lady in the nursing home where I worked used to say every morning “treat every day as if it’s your last as one day it will be”

If today’s my last day then it’s going to be pretty much my best because Ive been for a glorious walk early this morning with kedgeree polished off for brunch.

I shall pop to watch United in the ⚽️cup final with my dad just as I used to as a kid and win, lose or draw, the champagne 🍾 will opened (he taught me that losing well was an education in itself)

Home for Spaghetti Bolognese and some Malbec with MrPG this evening and so to bed…👋 sweet world!

Apart from the obvious, - being with my family, I would spend it enjoying nature on this amazing planet. I'm lucky enough to live near Dartmoor and that's where I would go, to be amongst the heather and the gorse, the ponies and the birds, the tors and the sweeping views. It's all so beautiful.

OldFrill Sat 25-May-24 10:19:59

Probably with the neighbours. The roads would be blocked with people travelling to see friends/family. There's a pub and a village full of elderly musicians, it would be fun.

Luckygirl3 Sat 25-May-24 10:19:30

I would spend it (as I am at the moment) looking over the magical view from my home - a few family and friends around would be a bonus.

Smileless2012 Sat 25-May-24 09:16:57

You made me laugh too Grannynannywannygrin. Enjoy your holiday.

Oopsadaisy1 On your behalf I managed to cut and paste

"If Today Was Your Last Day"

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have?
(What if, what if?)
If today was your last day
(What if, what if?)
(If today was your last day)

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (That you finally fall in love)
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes (Takes)
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way (Way)
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (What if, what if?)
If today was your last day

There’s a song called ‘if today was your last day’ by Nickelback, the lyrics are on Google. Thought provoking!

(It’s a good song too)

I’ve often wondered myself about it.

I tried to copy and paste but it doesn’t work.
