if you could know just one thing about the future or the past what would you choose?

And perhaps why? 🙂

    I think I’d like to know the next set of winning lottery numbers. 😃

    why? Because I’d have such fun giving away oodles of cash to various people both family and organisations. What fun that would be eh

    I really hope it does @janer1967, a friend of mine found that it worked very well. Here’s hoping.

    Ha ha @Sandy_123, that does sound morbid but someone I know would agree with you, his idea is to have spent his last pound on the day before!

    I don’t know @Sandy_123,   though I gave up smoking several years ago if I were him I’d buy a nice cheroot, don’t know if they cost a pound though.

    I don’t like the idea of knowing the date of my death although I do agree it would be practical.

    I like the idea of spending my last pound before I die because I’m not planning on having children to leave an inheritance to. That said hopefully my younger brother will still be around so he could have it, or, I may have nieces or nephews.

    I’d like to know if or when I’ll be living away from home and if or how I’ll cope on my own without people helping me.

    I’ve thought of two other things I’d like to know now, but that would be cheating, wouldn’t it?

    well it’s my thread so:
    just after the Second World War my dad was married at the time and he adopted someone from an orphanage, I’d like to know why . One year later his home help became pregnant with his child and my mother (the home help) change her name by deed poll to match his and his wife’s. They all then took a boat to New Zealand and lived there, but that was the last time his wife was seen until she turned up to divorce him eight years later. I’d like to know why my mother (the home help) changed her name?

    all the above was kept secret not told to me and we have found out things by checking even going to Kew.

    This sounds very interesting @leecal name change is easy to answer, i know about some of the things you've said about in past threads. Have you got any other brothers or sisters not adopted ones ? Your father sounds like they had money as well for that era. I would be interested as to what you could find out from Kew. Are you looking into your family history or were you told all this  by other family members ?

    @SueHeath Yes I had another sister about a year after they (he and his wife) adopted one girl he and my mum had another girl themselves. They were older than me, I came last and I was ok because by then he and the home help (my mum) had got married ...just! 

    My dad also changed his name by deed poll too following my mum changing hers , so then they both had the same surname as his wife! All very confusing I’m sure. 

    Actually its helping me writing it down like this. My eldest son is tracing the family tree and so far it’s looking quite good. Except for his fiat wife , she just disappears. Of course they are all passed on now. 

    When my mother was ninety two two I asked her about things and she told me in no uncertain terms that it was none of my business. So I got nothing from her. its a family mystery.

    @leecal I'd love to do a family tree, yours sounds intresting, its a shame your mom wouldn't tell you, but I think  from your moms era people didn't, they kept family secrets well hidden. 
    I was told after my parents died that I was the product of an affair, but the person who told me won't say no more, frustrating. I'm tempted to join the DNA data base

    @Sandy_123 yes. I really like that program ‘who do you think you are?’ On tv where they trace back a very long time celebrities trees. Fascinating stuff. 🙂
