  • Hi all,

    Its back to the singletons thread again! ;)

    How is everyone today?

    I'm at a loose end again, no money to go out tonight, not seeing kids coz ex has got one on her. :rolleyes:

    So hopefully we can all cheer each other up on here again.

    Can't you get the DWP to give you some sort of emergency payment? You've obviously paid your taxes and NI over the years. :confused:

    Will you have any redundancy package?

    I hope things work out for you.

    Chin up babe!

    P.S. Don't waste your phone credit on your ex. Only look forward.

    Lily thats awful about your job, i was working out how much i need for bills and general stuff every month, it's ridiculous, and i'm lucky cos i have no kids, yeah and don't waste your credit on a waste of space, but had quite a lazy day today, so will be on here for hours,
  • Hi I'm new in the the singleton thread. I've been single for about 5 years now, I've got my dog & I love the fact I'm free to do what I want with no-one questioning what I do.

    Lily, don't call him & I really hope you get sorted & find another job soon.

    I've got a jack russell too, I'd love to have another one but I think mine enjoys being an only dog too much.

    Hello! Thanks for all the advice... I kind of thought that just giving her my number would be taking the slimy way out but I'm a big (6'2" 17stone) wimp at heart!

    Will keep trying to talk to her... see what happens... she may never get the bus again! At the moment I'd much rather just make friends than try to chat her up, being in Australia with no-one my age to talk to is killing me :( Back in the UK in a couple of weeks for the xmas break though, woo!

    Sarah: I avoid works do's quite often too as everyone is older than me and they bore me to death, would be ok if I could get everyone playing drinking games!
