52 reasons why it's great to be single

Forget the home-alone image of sad singleton women curled up on the sofa longing for a hug. Independent women everywhere know that being single is something to celebrate. Here's why?

1. We don't have to fight for remote control ownership.
2. We don't have to wash their smelly socks and skiddy underwear.
3. There are no pairs of shoes left in the middle of the floor to trip over at six in the morning.
4. We can lie in the bath for as long as we want.
5. We don't put a wash on and then find ten articles of clothing belonging to him lying in heap in the corner of the bedroom.
6. We don't have to fake an orgasm.
7. We don't have to shave and can turn into yetis if we want.
8. We don't have to buy and write our own Valentines/birthday/Mother's day cards.
9. We don't have anyone saying 'you're not going to wear that, are you?'
10. We don't have to suffer their cooked meals and then spend an hour trying to get the burnt, congealed mess of the bottom of our saucepans.
11. I love not being accountable to anyone - if I want to do something, I just do it!
12. I control my finances and if I screw up, it's my fault, not because my man has spent money we need down the pub, bookies, etc.
13. I enjoy sleeping in my double bed and having it all to myself.
14. I can be moody without anyone trying to find out if something's wrong! If I don't want to talk - I just won't!
15. I have FREEDOM to choose.
16. I love it now my pillows are a dribble free zone.
17. I love waking up and not hearing the sound of snoring.
18. I love going out and not having to say where I've been or what I've been doing and what time I should be back.
19. I love going shopping and not having to hide what I've bought in the wardrobe and pretend I've had it ages.
20. I love being able to have control over what I spend and where I spend it.
