Scatter them somewhere that would mean something to both of you. I did this last year with my Mum's and Brother's ashes, admittedly after they'd spent 4 years in my garage.

Phileas Fogg (made in Medomsley Road, Consett) chilli tortillas from the late 80s were the absolute best.
If you were lucky and got a dark orangey-red one, you saved that until last.

Your dog shouldn't be sick that often that there's a towel dedicated to cleaning it up (regardless of Fessor's inability to recognise said towel).

Reminds me of a conversation I had with my sister-in-law when her boys were small: "Getting photos of the boys done, do you want one?" Me: "Erm, no thanks, I know what they look like!" Her: "Fair enough, I hadn't thought of it like that!"
