    I am financially far better off single. I dont drink, smoke or drive and although MrJudi doesnt drink, the 'tank' he drives round in does only 22 to the gallon and we have had 3 brand new motors in 2 years! He also smokes 20 a day.

    Good job its his money he is wasting and not mine.

    If you don't get on with that tidying up and stop wasting money your wish might be granted! :p
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    I'm totally with you on that as you can see in my sig I have given up smoking for over 3 weeks now. My ex smoked around 15 a day. I used to drink 4 or 5 times a week now I go to the pub twice a month when there is a live band on. My ex drives and that used to cost me loads, I since moved closer to work and I walk every day and take in my own lunch. (Well apart from Fridays when we all get Chinese I can't resist :p)

    Over every fortnight I spend a maximum £80 including a night in the rub a dub:beer:, tescos and the occasional stroll into town.

    I've always been single. Always lived alone.
    Not from choice, was never offered the alternative :(
    Not likely now!

    It's !!!!in' expensive!

    Although I guess that depends on what your rent/mortgage is compared to earnings. Some seem to have low rent and loadsadosh!
