OS Singlies - We Do It Our Way!

BookWorm

Byatt - please don't apologise - there really is no need. Maybe I am on my own with this (and sorry if I am) but I don't consider anything to be 'off topic'. The thread/we are here to support fellow singlies (IMO) and that is what I hope you feel from posting here. If you feel supported, you will be able to in turn do the same for your DD. Hugs x

Dang - meant to say no I haven't read The Book Thief - although it is on my ever growing 'to read' list. Maybe I will bump it to nearer the top

Byatt

Thanks BW,

The Book Thief for me is on par with How to kill a mockingbird...the way it's written is very different and just draws you in. I know there is a film out now, not sure how I feel about watching it, but hope it does the book justice. Not what I was expecting at all, but then I had no preconceived ideas as to my shame I hadn't heard of it till the film was advertised. It's meant for young adults but I think it's for any age.

I have 4 books on the go at the moment, I read according to my mood.

Byatt

Nearly forgot, a video about cats...I'm sure they will make you smile...

I do that too very normal for me to have more than one book on the go

Byatt

Oh, I'm glad someone else does it.

mum2one

Totally agree.....thats the whole point of the thread isn't it.








That video is great.....however Asbo-cat wasn't impressed by the noise sat next to me.

I agree with that. The thing is, as singlies we don't have that husband/partner to be supportive/helpful/etc and have to deal with things on our own. To a singlie, there is no automatic fallback position (ie that automatic Helpful Other inside the front door that people in a marriage/etc have). We have to have a network and call on that network instead.

You called on that network and that's fair enough in my book.

That's rather how this whole thread started after all.

EDIT: BTW Thanks to BigAunty for the help here.

Oh..Waitrose...I remember that. I miss my Waitrose here...and good enough access to dentists/osteopaths (because we haven't got enough of them here) and I have had to fix myself up with a dentist some distance from here, because the one I had decided on here had a rather different take to me on who makes the decisions. One work-around later and I have one who accepts that I will be the one making my decisions of course.
