Hubby 
Coz I know I could tell him to shut up and listen and I could give him loads of messages and he'd remember them, and pass them on

I would put in a conference call..and speak to them all at once. 
Seriously though, I would want to speak to my parents, my hubby and my children and my sisters and my brothers...and....and...Oooh
don't ask me to decide..

Blimey, my daughter, who is 19 and at Hull University, was watching that and asked me if I would phone her or my OH!
I told her that I hate using the phone!

I really have no idea - probably my hubby. My daughter is too young at the moment...
Thing is hubby rarely answers his bleedin' phone so could be a wasted call...
I just hope I'm never in that kind of situation

I love my parents and I love my kids and grandchild, but it would have to be my hubby.
We started out together and we hoped to end up together. If that's not to be then he at least needs to know that he is my love.

You're not bad, you're human.
There are no words of comfort for when we take someone for granted and then, by error, fail to respond at the right time.
There are many who pass on without hearing the words of a loved one. It doesn't mean that they don't already know they are loved. x
My husband, to tell him that I would die loving him and to tell him to let my family know I loved them, because I couldn't do it.
Terrible choice to have to make

awww, my mr slash
my husband on speaker phone so the kids heard 2 and I would leave a message for my mum and dad.
I knew for sure I couldnt have watched that. That must have been absoultely heart wrenching to watch and I know I would have cried buckets. My god..them poor people. Very tragic

the more i think about it, it would have to be my daughter, my mum and dad know how much i love them, daughter on the other hand has only known me as a parent and relies on me, so she would get my call 
*why did i start this thread*

My mum and my boy. And I'd kill to have those 2 phonecalls.

I'd do whatever I had to do to get 2 if I needed to

I can't go to bed yet because this question will go round and round in my mind...Having had time to think now, I would phone my husband. My children are too young to understand and my parents know how much I love them.
My husband would be able to tell our children just how much I loved them and that they were in my final thoughts...
I'm going to sob now.....
My Dad..........
Cos there's too much to be said....

DITTO
My kids. Hope they would all be together!
DH, no question.
(however, whether he would answer or not is a different matter. It'd probably go to voicemail because he's almost always in meetings!)

Honestly though I dont think Id be able to call anyone I wouldnt want the last convosation I had with my mum to be with me dying maybe Id send text say I love you

it wouldnt have been instant for a lot - aviation fuel would have - well, burnt them severly before Towers collapsed.
Knowing my luck i would have dialled a wrong number anyhow 
Honestly in a situation like that I don't think I'd phone anyone. I'd hate to leave them with the knowledge that when I hang up I'm gonna die. My family know I love them and I'd like them to remember me that way...not sobbing down the phone. I wouldn't be able to choose anyway so I'd choose nobody.
Would write one text message and send it to everybody in address book. The Dentist and the Tesco online delivery people might think WTF? At least I'd die laughing!
