Is anyone else looking forward to being single this Christmas ?

I've just come through a bad break up and quite frankly I'm looking forward to doing exactly as I please !!!

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

After realising that what I thought I always wanted - a relationship with someone who would treat me like a queen, always be there for me, never cheat, lie, etc - was not actually making me happy and boring me to death (I'm contrary like that), I'm very pleased to be single in time for Christmas.

It's a great time to be single - all those Christmas kisses!:clap:

Christmas Eve is a top night for pulling some young and totally inappropriate boy toy who will just about last through the Xmas break before I get bored and head back home (three days)

Plus, one less Xmas pressie to fret over (even though we'd agreed not to give gifts anyway - just aswell!)

However hope all you singletons havea great Chrimbo and find someone (or a few) for Xmas kisses this Xmas eve.

Enjoy yourself, Lucretia! ;)

Thanks StarSparkle
I intend to :D
Finish work tomorrow, then out for cocktails. Can't wait!

I'm single this crimbo, but certainly not alone! If anything, I'll be peopled-out... Me likes my own space lol! :hihi:

Come to think of it, this Christmas will be no different to any other Christmas, regardless of my single/taken status... I'm still spending it with the people who mean the most to me, so thats all that matters! The only difference is, I'll be waking up next to my sister, not a fella! lol

Im single and happy!

(only so i dont have to buy xmas pressies lol)

I don't know. I spend christmas with my family - mum, sister, pets (cat & rabbit) (mums b/f who isnt family) and my dad visits. I do sorta wish I could go to some sort of Christmas party, but no... I also would like someone to kiss under mistletoe (or anywhere for that matter lol) but, no.

I'm wouldn't say I'm glad to be single at Christmas, but I'm definitely thrilled to be out of a really rotten relationship at Christmas.

I am so much happier without him -- no tears, no fights, no disappointments, no family-in-law, no worries. Christmas is joyous again for me.

I second Hoosiers sentiments :thumbsup:
Happily single, love choosing to do only what I want to do, when I want to do it, I'm spending Christmas with family that I love; not having to put up with truly awful in-laws is definitely a plus in my book no matter what time of the year ;)

its fine being single, until all your mates have partners or are married, then you have nobody to go out with, as they want to spend quality time together over christmas, bah humbug and all that :loopy:

Im going to be lonely this christmas. I wish I wasnt,I would love someone to hold and to be with.

I would like someone to buy things for, watch films with and to just talk to.

But it seams no-one is interested

Hey, Ive also just come out of a long term relationship! Been out almost every night since. Having a good time but think im gonna need a better paid job to support my new lifestyle :) Anyway, what you got planned for xmas? Any clubs?

Christmas is going to be partying, spending time with family and even more partying.....with plenty of christmas kisses hopefully

:partyhat:

Blimey, what is it with this year and absolutely everyone in the world breaking up??

I'll be single, not sure about lonely - I'll have all that christmas food to keep me company!

I aint going to be alone at christmas. Yay! And then after christmas I am going to be even less alone than I wasn't when I wasn't. Double yay.

Looking forwards to 2006 all the same.

Big smiles to everyone.

Being single at Christmas, or any other time, never realy bothered me. If I did get a bit bored I just went out and got laid.

kids &their wives grand kids, house will be like bedlam luv it

being single at xmas is fantastic, am a barmaid so i meet loadsa luvly ppl shud b fun on xmas eve under the mistletoe :P relationships at xmas r too much hassle, wi presents n peoples families, its jus crap, saying that tho if i actually had sum1 id b happy t go c their families (to sum extent) jus think of all the fun i can have at xmas & new year :D

I am not looking forward to being alone this xmas, this will be my first xmas alone after 15 years of being with someone, so, it is going to be difficult for me.

I was thinking of going out on new years but being on my own on new years eve is going to be exceptionally depressing, so, I shall be staying in with family, not the same as being with a special someone, but, better than nothing I s'pose.

It's funny and cruel ways you find out you've been dumped. Just happened to be trawling through the forum which I do infrequently and I came across this. My former close friend of 3 years then girlfriend and who knew I was vulnerable after a bad relationship, does this to me. It's 3 days before Christmas and I'm devastated and hating myself for who I am:(

Lonely this Christmas? I am.

I've unearthed this thread from way back when. It happened to have the same title as a thread I was about to start.

So who's in the Single at Christmas club?

This will be the first Christmas for - oooo, must be 15 years - that I've spent as a singleton. I'm not particularly looking forward to it. I love the process of buying gifts for my girlfriend and snuggling up to watch Christmas telly on the sofa. It'll be very odd, and I hope, not tooo sad. :rolleyes:

Mince pies are for sharing.

This will be my third Christmas as a single, I'll get to see my daughter on christmas eve, and then spend 2 days with my folks, which will be great, and then it's back to work, and its over for another year. It would be great to be in love this christmas, but it wont kill me that I'm not.

I'll be single this Xmas and it won't be lonely at all.

I'm looking forward to it, and I can have the Xmas I want this time around :D

Xmas is not a good time for people to be on their own,maybe we ought to start a group up now for those who are going to be on their own at xmas???

Will there be a Xmas do? And can we bring a partner? Oo, no, that wont work. And I suppose a pension scheme would be a depressing thing to introduce. Bit too fatalistic, really.

Oh I'll be single - and I don't see that changing in long/short/mid term - nevermind, I'm not a festive chap anyway :)

That's a great idea. We could all meet up on the big day, in Peace Gardens. There could be singing, Secret Santa and a spit roast with all the trimmings. Bring your own bottle and donate a couple of quid for the roast!

There could be singing, Secret Santa...

Every time I hear that now I start singing "Here come the girls!"

Must stop myself, it's a bit camp.

Dont forget to put that cat of yours a santa hat on will you ?:)

That song will be banned at the SF Christmas Day Meet! I can't stand it.

When I was single, living on park hill, and not really enjoying life in general, woke up on Christmas Day, nothing in the fridge, nothing in the freezer, cold outside and wasn't looking forward to the walk for a Big Mac Xmas dinner.
When my neighbour knocked on the door, Malcolm I think his name was, a very very large man, with a heart of gold, lived with his two sisters and happened to be a chef.
He had thought about me being alone for xmas and invited me to dinner, thinking of the alternative, I accepted and he had made the biggest feast I had ever seen on a dinner table, and by far the best meal I have had to date.
I heard he died a few years ago, this thread made me think about him, and tell the story of his kindness.

Oh the singles section...don't worry you'll not find me in there....I did actually meet a really lovely lass from there - but things didn't work out - she's dead lovely though :)

Every morning Tilly gets up.....it's Christmas as far as I'm concerned - she's that little spark that lights my life candle up (that's a bit poetic for me!)....but yes - she'll be getting a load of presents - as will my grandma.

I'll probably photoshop a picture of Tilly into a festive disguise.....she wouldn't sit still long enough for me to put a santa hat on her - she's too busy doing stuff..... :hihi:

Digsy, I'm all of a glow. That's what Christmas is about, good on him.

There would be blood (lots of it) if I attempted to put my cat into a "festive outfit" of any kind.

Theres nothing worng with being on your own, it has to be better than a rubbish relationship at this time of year, on you own you can

1) get lots of beer in

2) see lots of friends and family

3) Varied social events.

4) You can lie on a dating site and get someone to pass acouple of weeks by

5) Get out your Playstation/Nintendo and spend hours playing with yourself.

6) Entertain your nieces and newhews by taking them to see father christmas, and relive your childhood.

After all chaps, christmas only lasts for a week, once the new year passes its all downhill and we are back at work.

Single at Xmas - nothing wrong with it

Well, im going to be on my own this xmas...

Not lonely this Christmas. I'm single but I have Lot's of friends and family around so it will be ok. :cool:

This will be my third Christmas as a single, I'll get to see my daughter on christmas eve, and then spend 2 days with my folks, which will be great, and then it's back to work, and its over for another year. It would be great to be in love this christmas, but it wont kill me that I'm not.

Many people in families would appreciate having some space and time to themselves as families are hard work and it is never easy in my opinion.Sometimes I wish I had that opportunity.

I dont like not working so this is also hard as everything shuts down and work slows down also.

I am currently in the same boat. However turkey for one does not appeal to me. I am determined to do something to extract me from my rut.

No one could possibly be lonely at Christmas if they had a shag!

tell that to the old peoples homes

oh this thread makes me think of those oaps that have recently lost a loved one and will be spending xmas on their own :)

i feel so guilty now being a spolit brat that i am wanting everythink, spending the day at home wearing my pjs all day unwrapping prezzies with my 2 small children, munching on chocolate and drinking wine and having that massive roast dinner and watching those old classic comedies on gold. but i like staying in all day with the kids: my ideal xmas

Mine will be an unusual one - for me.

I'll be having Christmas dinner with my mother at her residential home with all the other batty fruitcakes. Unless I meet a lady in the meantime and get to know her well enough for an invite. How likely is that? ......

Christmas with the fruitcakes.



:hihi: (Waves, hello Ma!)

5) Get out your Playstation/Nintendo and spend hours playing with yourself.



I'm confused. Is this one activity or two?

:hihi: :o

One is a wrist warming up exercise for the other.

This last month has given you something to look forward to though, has it not?

:)It certainly has, but I wont see either of the kids on xmas day....Going to try and sleep through the entire day.

My Granny is spending her first christmas since 1937 without her husband, who died earlier this year. I feel so sad for her, and we all miss him dearly, but I think she will enjoy to be able to stay in once place and raise a drink to him, instead of getting all upset about having to go to the Hospice to see him, and him not even realising what day it is.

Well hopefully your granny will have a restful, peaceful christmas this year. I'm not a christmas person but I love my grandma so much it hurts.....so spending the day with her (any day of the year) is a wonderful thing.....she's 81 now and I know she won't live forevery....no matter how much cotton wool I wrap her in! :)

Have a good time and wish your granny all the best from me too :thumbsup:

think i will be going to my mums for a bit of dinner then back home to my place all on my todd, dont think seeing young one :-(

I gonna be lonely too.... after been single for few years ... quite lonely, have nothing to do when xmas comming I really want to have someone to be with, but I have no one, if only my family too. they are far away that made me very lonely then...:)

Oh there will be plenty of people on the forum Katie around that time......some lonely, some just avoiding the festive season out of personal choice. You'll be very welcome that's for sure. :)

I'm gonna be lonely, me and the (now ex) girlfriend mutually broke up last weekend and I feel like my insides have been ripped out. We had everything planned to do over the period and now none of it is happening, and I feel like the effort I put in has gone completely unnoticed.

Plus I lost my gran Monday morning, so really not looking forward to xmas.

:partyhat:I will be spending time this Christmas with my kids and people I love dearly, but there is always a little sadness when you just wish you could be greedy and have someone extra special to cuddle up to when everybody's gone home and the kids are in bed:love:. Just sometimes feels like somethings missing. (No I don't mean my brain!)
Good luck to all those alone this Christmas, hope the New Year brings you happiness.

I think if I had someone to cuddle upto (apart from Tilly the cat of course)...Christmas would be more fun :)

Im not looking forward to christmas at all to be honest as my little lad will be in Scotland with his mum & her family:( so not really got much to look forward to the sooner this christmas comes and goes the better for me.:)

Oh the singles section...

there's a singles section on here?

Yeah I think it's something like "the ultimate singles thread"....infact (I found the thread for you! :) ) Ultimate Singles Thread (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=273629&highlight=singles+thread)

Not single and i m very happy...
Have a wonderful Christmas...

At least you have a cat - which is far more than I have.

Nope not looking forward to it either!! my partner went yesterday and I feel soooo rubbish, want it to come and go fast!!

Not sure really what I want out of christmas. Not bothered about going out and acting all daft and getting drunk but I have to admit im not exactly flush for friends so if the situation was different, maybe I would feel happier about joining in the festivities......


Billy no mates<<<<

edit.. drink anyone? lo/

Apparently there are none brave enough to post on that singles thread. :hihi:

good for you hope you enjoy Christmas!!

Got that Tshirt!

well i believe that you can be a victim of lonliness or rise above and create your own christmas day - I have for the past three years of singledom. First year I didnt want to be alone, so I bout lovely ready made nice food from M n S, small bottle of champers, baileys, tonic water and vodka, a lush bath set, new pjs and slippers, fruit and chocs. On Christmas morning I opened my secret santa from work, gave the dog - guinness his pressie, bungled him in the car with his ball drove to Cleethorpes and spent 2 hrs on the beach with him, cold windy and brasing, wishing other dog walkers merry christmas chatting with these strangers for a few minutes before moving on down the beach. I walked back across the prom to my car, dried off the dog, bungled him back in to the boot and drove back to sheff, quite roads, no police, it was heaven. I got in my house - it was warm, The M n S food was popped into the oven, i ran upstairs ran a bath dropped in a lush bubble bath, cracked open the small bottle of bubbly and immersed my self in the hot foaming water, mmmmmmmmm - i dressed in my new pjs n slippers ran down stairs ate my food, drank a few measures of baileys watched crappy tv, fed the dog of course, n basically had my own merry little christmas - i soooooooooooooo enjoyed it. I did the same last year and again this year, the food changed thou went to Asda - credit chrunch n all that!!! lol simply folks - its one day - why have a pity party when you can do whatever you want on a day that everyone else feels they HAVE TOO do family!!!!!! I did but I dont now. thank you for reading.

Sheffsal, that sounds like a fabulous day.

r u really looking forward to being single or are you glad cos you are out of a "bad break up"which sounds like a bad relationship its two different things cos at the end you are looking forward to plenty of xmas kisses which usally leads to a relationship and no more singleness (think it over)

I dont think anyone looks forward to being single, but I am single have been for 3 years, it was not a bad break up or the end of a bad relationship - I simply decided that I wanted my house back - my own space and asked him to leave, he did no arguement or anything and since then I have enjoyed having my own space. I went out only once during christmas - on the lunchtime on the eve and was home for 6.30pm, so no im not chasing christmas kisses, another relationship or waving goodbye to singleness.
