    As others have said you have to do what you feel is right.

    Well I have been single for nearly a year now and although I have loved the ability to do what I want when I want I do miss certain things. I was with my ex for 2.5 years.

    I certainly can't wait to meet the one and settle down with them however know that I would have to take things slow.

    Certainly am looking forward to having kids, getting married etc.

    Living alone gets a little lonely :(

    Easy to say, but try not to dwell on it. There will be somebody special out there for you and you will meet them when the time is right. In the meantime, enjoy being single and make the most of every opportunity. Then, when you meet the person for you, you will have cleared your debt and be able to wine and dine them! :rotfl:

    Indeed there will be.

    Anyway I am enjoying the ability to choose when to spend money - certainly alot cheaper being single and will mean I get it paid off quicker! By the time I meet them I will know how to wine and dine them MSE style (using Tesco Vouchers and such like!) :rotfl:

    :T

    Don't get out the vouchers on your first date though!

    And there is a huge difference between being careful and being tight! Don't be a cheapskate ;)
  • Don't look to hard either, Woo is right, it will be when you least expect it. It will be like being struck by lightening ;)

    Don't worry. I wouldn't really do that! :p

    I think I would class myself as sensible.....;)

    Most of my debt is from my car - stupid idea putting some of it on a credit card! :(
