And now I know what to send Charles and Camilla for a Wedding present ...six laminated placemats of his first weddingcert. (It had been worrying me, what to send them, seeing as she is going to be my new Duchess) Marjorie

Yes, thats a good idea: I could laminate the ones that my auntie had told me 'no, dear you are letting your imagination get the better of you' when I told her about the family skeletons! Nice Xmas Pressie for her!

Lyla Oh, hey, here, have one of my skeletons, Ive got plenty - we could change the details with an old ink pen if necessary, to fit ..oh, I can see endless possibilities here for blackmail. And where do I get the T-shirt...the mug.. Marjorie

Well, I don't even need to use my real relatives, I have got enough duff certificates to kit out the cafeterias at the next Olympics, without ever repeating one either. I had intended to wallpaper my house with them but you have given me a money-spinning idea, hm, e bay here I come... Marjorie PS If my ex-mother-in-law was still with us, I would invite her round for a meal, just so she could see that I had found out her parents werent married! LOL

Great idea, - but my daughters would go spare! Hubby works long hours so meal time is conversation time too. We get asked 'Can't we have one meal without talking about dead people?' I'll seach through to find some interesting ones for the table.

Yeah Heather Good one, I know who has that but I'm not saying until I ask can she scan it for me, because we may be related so I reckon I get first choice LOL. Pat x

Yes, get my favourite, the suffocated in a cartload of feathers.

Oops sorry Lyla, meant to say Laminators are very cheep now, have a look around, I think argus do a sleection as well. Very handy for lots of other things too. Pat x

Hi Gerri where on Earth did you get that from LOL. Hi Lyla I bags some of those death certs from the 'most amusing cause of death' not too fussy which one's the meat pie or the teeth or maybe the leg what do say? LMHO Soon distract people from my cooking, great idea. X Pat x

Brilliant idea, but I think it would put hubby off his food! He gets glazed just at the mention of this tree business!

Dur....but then you would need a colour copier Claire.....or you could scan them and print on a colour printer! Claire xx

Love the idea! The buff colour with the orangy red writing would go with my dining room too! ;o) Claire xx

Gerri, What a brilliant idea! Kathy x

I had a good idea and wanted to share it with all you other addicts. Get you old certs.....c o p y them......get them laminated and use as place mats on your table when entertaining. Never be stuck for conversation again :o)) (They cant escape either) lol Gerri x
