  • Sharon’s jewellery – to be left to her two daughters by rotation.
  • They want their beloved 16-year-old cat, Mr. Blinkers, to be taken care of should they outlive him.
  • The first level of residue should go to each other, then 90% to their children and 10% to their favourite charity, Cats Protection.
