What the heck is with seperate boards based on relationship status?

    Well thanks MSE for making me feel even more sorry for myself this week! I have just split up with someone and you have kindly created me a Singleton board :cry:. What a way to help people! :mad:

    Surely it would help you to see how other people cope financially in this situation? As a side note, hope you're ok.

    I can cope perfectly well financially thanks. :)

    I just don't see why there are separate boards, single/couple/parents all have a viewpoint on subjects so why not just have the one 'relationship' board as it was. If anything, they should have moved the sub-boards.

    That'll be 4 new boards without even including those who're a bit muddled about things.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    MoneySaving Mums, Dads, Grandparents etc

    MoneySaving Couples

    MoneySaving Singletons


    Totally pointless, because there will be fewer posts relevant to the last 2 boards, and while everyone has or had Mums, Dads, Grandparents not everyone is a Mum, Dad or, Grandparent, and anyway if you have to put etc on the end it kinda has no point anyway (unless you feel that covers step parents and foster parents "etc") - we need the roll eyes smilies back for this pointless waste of web designers time.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    I think the singletons board will remain as dead as our sex lives...

    It's the most pointless board I have ever seen on a forum!

    Great idea to put a thread about the heartbreak of trying to conceive in a thread called 'mums, dads etc'. Not MSE's most sensitive moment.

    Hope you're going to get this sorted out ASAP


    Doesn't even make any sense

    Money Saving Mums, Dads and Grandparents etc - what or who is an etc?
    - Health, Beauty & Fashion
    - Olympic Legacy
    - Pets & Pet Care
    - Deaths, Funerals & Probate
    Money Saving Couples
    Money Saving Singletons

    So ..... are Couples or Singletons not supposed to have any Pets .... or have any Health, Beauty & Fashion queries .... or never have a death to deal with?:mad:

    I couldn't even find the Pets board last night ...... as I'm afraid I would NEVER think to look under "Mums & Dads" for it - it doesn't belong there!

    Get is sorted ............
