On the occasion of the last Valentines Day my ex-cabinmate and friend Tanya has come up with ten good reasons why being single isn’t that bad after all. And since she did such a great job in summarizing I felt I need to make that available to my friends, too (and hope she doesn’t mind!) Therefore you can find her brilliant thoughts down here- and since I can only fully agree on each of them, slightly adapted to my life:
1. There are no screaming babies attached to me! As much as I love children and would love to have some of my own one day, I have to say that I am enjoying this phase in life when I can love them, fill them up with sugar, get them all hyper and send them back to their parents!
2. Freedom! I can go anywhere, anytime.
3. It’s cheaper! I don’t make much money anyway, but it’s okay, because it’s just enough for one.
4. I have full control of the remote control and can watch my favourite TV shows without having to take a vote. (Okay, I don’t have a TV but it’s good to know if I did it would be that way.)
5. I have developed strong wrists and hands from opening my own pickle jars.
6. If I feel like eating Müsli for supper, I can!
7. I still have the chance to plan the perfect wedding (and marry the “perfect” guy!)
8. Because no one lives with me at the moment, no one really knows how horrible I can be sometimes (so everyone thinks I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread… and I like it that way!)
9. I don’t have to worry about falling in an open toilet bowl in the middle of the night because no one at my house forgets to put the seat down.
10. I have learned to be independant and do “stuff” on my own, for example drive in various large cities… put gas in my own car… fix “stuff”… pay bills… and all that fun stuff that husbands often do.
Well, my dear single friends, this is a wholistic point of view, isn’t it? Maybe we could start a little competition who can come up with even more and better reasons. Leave your ideas under comments 
Anyway, I cannot complain about the comfort of being single these days 
Hee hee…. glad you enjoyed it!!

11. I can go to the Chelsea flower show even if he wants to go surfing… (from a bizarre conversation about relationships last night!) Why I would want to go to the Chelsea flower show anyway and I why I would force my hypothetical husband to go with me when he'd rather be surfing on the biggest wave which only comes every 200 hundred years, even if it was the last Chelsea flower show ever… Don't know where Oliver gets these hypothetical situations from but Matthew had a simple answer "I'd divorce her!"
