the pro's and con's of living alone.....

has been something that i've often pondered! sure there are plenty of times when it would be fabulous to come home to someone you love after a crap day and just hang out with them, maybe even have a bath run for you and vodka and lemonade handed to you as you walk in the door...yep i've woken up from that little dream!!!
but then there are the other times when you come home and decide that 'dinner' is going to be scrambled eggs on toast, a box of cheezels, cereal (my all time favourite) or whatever else you find in the freezer that you had forgotten you had in there...
so i'm now going to take a leaf out of someone's book (no pun intended!) and do a list. soooo the pro's of living alone:

• any mess you come home to is your own
• you NEVER have to put the toilet seat down
• you can squeeze the toothpaste wherever you like without the risk of being
• given a lecture on toothpaste wastage (seriously, who cares???)
• you can have whatever you like for dinner (see above) without having to factor in anyone else's eating habits
• you can put your key in the door as you come home and KNOW that there will
• be NO potentially annoying flatmate/house guest is going to expect to be
• entertained when all you really want to do is get into your pj's and take up
• residence on the couch
• a day at home CAN mean not getting out of bed (and nobody else need know about it); and
• you can buy and bring home as many pairs of shoes as you like without living in fear of being subjected to the 'shoe audit'. you know what i mean right? 'are these new honey? how many pairs of black shoes do you need? how many pairs can you wear with only one pair of feet? blah blah blah...

of course then one must, if one is presenting a balanced argument take into account the con's of living alone:

• nobody else takes out the garbage;
• you have to do all the cleaning (or pay for someone else to do it);
• nobody will bring you a cup of tea in the morning;
• worse still, nobody to wake up next to every day and say goodnight to every 
• night;
• when you've had a great day and want to share something good, you have to
• think about which of your many fabulous friends you are going to call -
• sometimes it would be NICE to have a special someone to share it with; and
• - there's nobody home to admire all the fabulous shoes you just bought this
• week...

tough decision really....
