OS Singlies - We Do It Our Way!

Hi, Everyone

Here is the bright new shiny and hopeful OS Singlies thread :beer:.

EVERYONE, partnered or single is very welcome on this thread...let's face it, most of us have been single/partnered/single etc etc and we all have lots of good old OS experience to bring to the thread.

For those who don't know, this new thread was spawned from one I started in Dec 2013, which quickly progressed way beyond any expectations of mine - link to old thread is here as it contains so much fabulous and inspirational advice and support -

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4835961

This shiny hopeful new thread is aimed primarily at helping Singlies negotiate the rough waters of life, offering support and practical ideas and help. Singlies have particular issues (some would say peculiar issues :rotfl:), and it is hoped this thread will help address those.

But I stress again, that everyone is invited to join in :)

I hope this new thread is enjoyed, and is at least as inspirational and motivational as the last one proved to be, if not more so.

Over to you, Folks ....

LB xx

    Hi there I am a 'singlies' and have been for the past 10 years plus since losing my late OH ,but I keep quite cheerful and positive (if a bit cranky at times when I could really do with a hand to get the top off a jar :):):)).
    Nice to see a shiny new thread
    welcome to anyone else who follows :):)

    Welcome Mummybobble. For an awful moment, I thought I would be chatting to myself...just like being at home, then :rotfl:

    ETA - welcome the others, too! :j

    Ok - this must be one of the hardest jobs that a singlie without family has to do...not meant to be morbid, but this year is the year I am going to sort out my paperwork, and by that I mean my will and my living will.

    The problem I have is that I have no family at all that I want to leave my worldly goods to, in fact, unfortunately, I feel I need to make it water tight to stop toxic siblings getting anything. I spent a good part of this weekend, trying to think what I want to do, but it's incredibly hard.

    Has anyone any experience of this? What sorts of things did you think about?

    I will involve a solicitor at some point but clearly I need to put a great deal more thought into what I want my will to achieve, before I involve a professional.

    hah!! How to start a new hopeful thread off, eh? Cheerful Charlie, that's me :rotfl:
