The joys of living alone

Map, being alone should mean you know where the mugs and plates are - where you left them!

This TV remote thing seems to be increasingly popular

The joys of living alone

Serene, oh aye the snorer, especially the stop-start-sudden-snorter, is bad. An elbow in the ribs, gently at first, works quite well.

I hadn't included it on my list because I haven't escaped it, I own a bulldog and she occasionally likes to sleep on the bed just out of elbow reach. Bulldogs are impressive snorers. I'm resigned to it. Good training should I reel in a snorer, after all.

RE: Urban Sports... I love it.

Hope you have your acceptance speech ready, Boet

Don't shout yes Yes YESSSSSSSSSSS
and really, REALLY, don't look thoughtful, and rub your jaw

Just say simply 'I so hoped you would'

That's all guys, by the way, lucky enough to get The Question.

Bearing in mind, though, that she probably did it as a joke, don't prolong her nervous heart attack. You can add something like 'you know how I feel about marriage. However, there is no-one I would sooner marry than you, and if ever I get over this nervous reaction, we have a date. Until then I am yours anyway, forever.'

Okay most of you are probably a little queasy right now. Bite me!

Leony, never do.

The joys of living alone

Tatami, yes

And ice-cream IS a breakfast, if I think it is.

RE: Men - How to handle Valentine's Day

How do we force guys to read this?

Molly name your prize, you just won it.

YES. If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. Or the life you're with. Okay its late and I'm muddled, but you got it.

What she said.

JJ I'm on my own and trying to find advantages in it, okay?

We're all here to meet someone because we would prefer to be in a happy relationship. All I tried to do was find some things that felt positive so I don't feel sorry for myself.

So thanks for your reply.

Ha Dream, that's IT.

The joys of living alone

Crazy, I was about to say I've been able to grow my winter coat over the last two months and very useful it has been in this colder weather, but that might be TMI. So I won't

The joys of living alone

1to1 oh of course we are all longing for the day we can give up all these little benefits for the fun of behaving

but they are fun ...

The joys of living alone

Good for my count, though. Minerva once did multiples in a blog race, I was VERY grateful

The joys of living alone

Calm, all of the above!!

And there's no-one about to tease me if I have another piece of shortbread. I'll dance it off tomorrow, okay?

The joys of living alone

KN this is feeling good about being on our own.

You make a good point, though, about wearing what you want. Of course we can find comfortable AND presentable. But my favourite overjersey is shapeless, baggy, softer than you can believe, and pale grey, a colour which does nothing for me. Plus there's a splotch on the front which even the drycleaner can't shift. It is sooooo comfortable

I should have thrown it out. Of course I should. Guess what I'm wearing?

Min and Fiona picked a biggie - the whole bed to yourself. Hey, nice to share, but this blog isn't about the joys of together, it reminds us of how many hidden benefits we forget we have, okay? And having the duvet to yourself, no furtive tugging in the middle of the night, or him throwing half over you because he's hot, so you have nightmares about being roasted alive, is a GOOD THING.

Not to mention finding a nice cool corner for your feet anywhere in the bed

The joys of living alone

and those things you miss out on? come with irritations of their own

RE: Lady Bloggers

How about the rest of us wondering whether we qualify? I'd like to say thanks and the same to you but if you delete me, I'll know for sure I'm neither pretty nor nice.

Go ahead, break my heart. I don't mind.

Sniff. <<<< brave smile

The joys of living alone

Just posted my first ever thread. Ooh. What else have I never done on CS before?

The joys of living alone

This time of year especially Molly you want to be in long-johns and nice sensible vests.

Actually, those can be fun anyway. Like unwrapping a parcel.

The joys of living alone

Ish, I had forgotten that! The joys of kids who have left home. Arrange sleepovers, or aren't they old enough yet?

My cat is on a mission to have a catflap put into every door in the house, so he meows outside the bathroom door and scratches plaintively for the ENTIRE time. I can live with it.

The joys of living alone

Blue, and I can squeeze the toothpaste in the middle if I want.

The joys of living alone

Can't think of any, eh? I'll leave you to it. Coffee and shortbread and watching some Big Bang Theory is the next item in my crowded social diary.

The friends issue

Hey Cat, too true. I mentioned ground rules because I really disliked a boyfriend's friend and yapped about it more than once. He said cut it out, I like the guy, we go back 20 years. Like it or lump it, you are both in my life and you have to quit chirping about it.'

So I did. Never did learn to like the guy, but hey.

The friends issue

Okay so today I learned something new. Still going to stick with ginger. The possibilities of being misunderstood, country to country, are too high

The friends issue

Hahaha for calling us rangas, and you know it!!

You're only undeleted because you are part ranga yourself

Oh and because I don't delete comments.

RE: The Nightmare On Long Street

Stand down red alert. Glitch. Your older blog vanished again.

RE: The Nightmare On Long Street

Just noticed you have two blogs up at the same time, I thought that never happened, just one up at a time?

Since some bloggers post 4 and 5 times a day, this could make finding blogs I actually want to read a little tricky.

RE: The art of blogging

Pedal, how agreeable are you?

It's snowing, everyone. YAY.

RE: The art of blogging

I just got a friend request from someone who has never sent me a message or communicated in any way - however, he is in Scotland, so instead of just deleting the request as I usually do, I wrote to explain my friends are people I have chatted to, if only on the blogs, and suggested he come on the blogs. They were recommended to me by someone I was chatting to and I later ventured onto the forums as well.

We do need more bloggers, tell one tell all!

RE: The Nightmare On Long Street

I shouldn't laugh but
