I'm a strange pedantic Virgo, so... So far I have been:
1. Packing up my house and taking stuff to charity stores, giving them away or throwing them away. Got a charity to come out on Thursday to assess which of my large furniture and white goods they will take.
2. Contacted the Cat Protection place leaving about 9 x A4 pages of instructions for care for my cat. Bought lots of cat food, cat litter, extra worming treatment , fleaing treatment. Gave them details of her microchip details, vaccinations, likes, dislikes, habits, put videos of her on a flash drive so they know what she is like in my home. I will also get her further vaccinations four days before I CTB - already booked it.
3. Already got my pre-paid funeral plan about four years ago. Does your country have one of those? How they work in my country is you pay monthly - no health checks, Then for the first year you are only covered for accidental death, then after the first year you are covered for all forms of death - including suicide. You choose the amount of the premium you want. They are quite cheap. you pay monthly.
4. I bought my SN etc
5. I wrote 22 letters to bill companies telling them I'm dead - post dating them. Put the stamps on the envelopes and the recorded delivery slips. Telling them to close my accounts and telling them to let my mother act on my behalf. Wrote a letter to my mother asking her to only send the letters once she has my death certificate and can put a copy of that in the envelope.
6. I wrote letters to my mother with the account passwords, websites addresses, usernames etc for all of these account.
7. I managed to get letters of authority from some of these companies so that my mother can act on my behalf - though they do not know why I would need this.
8. Chosen the funeral company - the same one that my sister had.
9. Chosen my funeral plan and stated these wishes - no church service, so cremation service, no flowers - Crematorium flowers do not get cremated with the person as we found out so they are a waste of money. Just mortuary to crematorium, then a wicker urn or a Prozac shaped urn like Carrie Fisher.
10. I am going to pop a letter into the place where my counsellor is based - she is expecting it. Telling her to call the Cat place so they can collect my cat. She will get the letter at 9am - 10am. I will also put the same letter in my mother's door - both marked urgent. I will park my car outside my mother's house and put the key through the door with my letters as I am giving my car to my brother.
11. I will catch the train, then get a taxi to the crematorium where my sister was cremated to get there for about 1am. It's actually a very pretty church. CTB in some place not too startling to visitors or mourners.
12. Then having CTB in this location, I will be taken to the same mortuary as my sister which is a stone's throw away from the funeral parlor place. the reason I will not do it in my town is that there are extra costs involved in transporting a body from one town to a funeral parlour in another town and I want to leave as much as the funeral plan money to my family as possible. I am not CTB at the crematorium for sentimental reasons but for practical ones. I'll also leave a note for the pathologist or whomever telling them exactly what I have taken and a letter for the police asking them not to distribute photos of my dead body via their private whatsapp groups which they seem to like to do in my country.
Finally, forgot to say, I will post my mobile phone through my mother's door having deleted any incriminating apps, searches, info etc. I will also try and wipe my laptop. I have removed all of the labels etc from my meds. The reason I am leaving my phone is that you can be traced with it - even if it is switched off. So in case my mother is not asleep at 12am - unlikely - and she sees the letter and calls the police, I do not want to be traced.
I cannot send timed emails - my mother is not computer literate and my brother rarely reads emails. I cannot send timed texts as again my mother cannot open text messages or send them

and my brother rarely looks at texts ... I do not have the mobile phone number for my counsellor. If I did not have a cat, I would just post the letter at the post office to be honest and disappear somewhere never to be found again. but I cannot take the chance of it not being delivered. I also want my family to have some money from my funeral plan and that will only happen if there is a body to be found.
Think that's it
