Home alone

[stevewool]

While the wife is away Steve will play,
8am i waved goodbye to Emma and i have a week alone.
First port of call the shops, a quick run around while its virtually empty and i am out in a matter of minutes, £65 lighter.
Chocolates, ice cream, pizzas, ready meals and some bread.
Back home ebay switch on and a macro light ring has been brought and paid for delivery next Wednesday.
Friend came round for a few hours , grandson came for a hour, and it will soon be time for Strictly come dancing.
And all this is on day 1 another 6 to go , life is sweet

You will miss her!

I lived on my own for 12 years, loved it. Now when I'm home alone for a few days I'm bored

As long as Emma is having a great time on her holiday, i am having a great time knowing that,

... most of us are likely to miss our partners after we've become accustomed to living together.

I have been living with Myrna for more than 71/2 years now, after 17 years on my own as a widower, and wouldn't fancy going back to being alone, ... even though it seemed alright at the time.

I lived on my own for 22 years... until I went to the Phils and let my guard down.

... bet you're glad you did let your guard down!

[grahamw48]

Yes... I suppose so.

I lived alone from the age of 22 until I was 47 but was never alone really, if you get my drift. The seventies and early eighties were the best years of my freedom and had some great experiences in my life

Look at where we are Face book,
Hi there look where we are , Face time .

Too right mate.

I had my own place from 18.... and from then til 40, out clubbing and pubbing and virtually 7 days a week.

Do it while you can, I say.

Seems we have a few things in common

I did all that from the ages of 16 until about 25 then I looked at my life and realised I had nothing. Woke up, went to work. Went home (living with my mum) ate dinner my mum cooked. Down the pub, or drinking in the park, down by the river. Went home to bed and then off to work again. Weekends was all about clubbing whereever we could jump on a train for free and manage to blag our way into a club.

Then one day after a night I won't go into I realised with the exception of a few, I realised most of my mates were dead, in prison or addicted to drugs. Thankfully I had never been in prison or felt the need for drugs.
That was a bit of a wake up call and I cut ties with most of my mates from childhood and moved away into my first home and where I went from going out drinking every night I became a bit of a recluse.

Thanks to Facebook I can see that most of my old crowd are still doing the same and haven't grown up. Quite a few more are dead... And quite a lot more in prison!

Not knocking those that like a drink. But I decided some 17 years ago that although I liked a drink, I liked life a bit more.

[grahamw48]

Congratulatons on pulling yourself away from that kind of life.

I was lucky in that I always had a very good income, although I hated school and left at 16. Bought my own house when I was 25, plus had good solid mates... wild sometimes too, but in more of a hooray Henry sort of way.

Sadly quite a few of them are dead now too, including my own lovely fiancee from back then. Accidents, suicide, cancer.

I found out only last week from a close mutual friend, that my best mate at school, and the lad that I went off down to London with at 18, actually died from an 'overdose' back in 2002.
That really shook me, I must say.

Live your life while you can, but all things in moderation.

I quite enjoy being 'Home Alone' from time-to-time.
