"Ms Louise Clayton" wrote in message ... Hi I just joined the group and wondered are there any singles from Australia? I live in NSW Australia with teenage kids. Like to learn more about life for singles in other countries as well. Chloe Welcome to the group. I know a single mother in Melbourne I believe, she's not in this group... but I should introduce it to her... geez what was I thinking, and why haven't I done it sooner? lol Christine That would be me Hey there all. Single mother to Thomas (7 months) & Full Time carer to my Father who suffers from multiple sclerosis. Know of any more aussie posters? Hullo nic, and welcome. I'm a former single parent, happily married now to an aussie who came to the u.s. to be with my boys and me. Boys are 10 and 8. That's a lot of caring you're doing for others -- I hope you're finding enough time to care for yourself a bit too. lm Good for you lm! It's so nice to hear that there are men out there willing to take on the whole package!! I'm sure Christine will let you all know that I do indeed take time out for myself. With a few online games we tend to terrorize together and a few forum/message boards we seem to have a great liking to spam (go girl flame on!!). Aside from my release here on the pc, I do occasionally get to spend a day to myself... Hairdresser, Catch up on chores (i'm a clean freak, yes it's a novelty for me to do this), SLEEEEEEEEEEEEP!. As for the level of caring I do..... Wouldn't you? My daddy is my daddy and my son is my life..... What more can I say? You and I are alot alike Nic (I had to consciously type that and not EQ. lol) Anyways, we tend to give and give until we wear ourselves out. I am actually thinking of hitting a spa in the next week, I've never been. Yeah yeah I'm deprived. lol But I've been on a bit of a shopping spree this week, got some extra money on the go so I bought a new down duvet, a hair straightner, lingerie etc (I'm trying to pretty up for next month. lol) Christine LOL, do you know how hard it has been to not say 'yeah, brazen' ;x Mmmmm, Spa!! Sounds awesome. DO let me know how it goes - I've been interested in going to one for a while, they just seem to be soooo expensive, and even then argh!! finding the time!..... I was lucky a few weeks back on the cash front and did all my spoiling then Feels sooooo good. Go silly!! You deserve it. (Don't you go too silly on the spending spree tho - you need to save for vegas! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!) I've slowly started to pack - will be moving into the new house within the next 8 weeks - packing is soooo yukky but the thought of a bran new house is soooo well, YaYaY! Kinda makes it all worth it. Nic... I think a consistent issue for single parents is of course the one income, so the frills are few and far between. I'd get some personal opinions about that spa before you shell out the cash, for that reason. My mom visited recently and we went and did a 2-for-1 manicure/pedicure and it was a pretty penny even with the coupon and it turned out it really wasn't worth the money. We could've saved the money and done as good a job on each other's toes while sipping a couple of margaritas :-) lm Yeah it's a reputable spa, the pedicure I could do myself, it's the waxing I'm not going to tackle on my own...

Hi Dennis
What part of Ireland are you in? Thanks for the words of greeting. How many kids do you have? What is it like to be a single parent in Ireland? Are there lots of services available or not? I look forward to hearing about your single parent life and what life is like for you. I live in a rural inland community of 600, but I have never seen more than 10 people on any given day. I am originally from the city. I find life tiring as I live with my 3 teenage kids but have no parents or siblings so no one other than social workers to share my problems and ideas with. Be interesting to get feed back from parents overseas.

As for next month, I'm off to Vancouver to meet a guy I've been talking to for a number of months. We have mutual friends so this is really exciting for us both, we get along fabulously. Christine |

THE Mall, river valley, and Elk Island Park are the only things that come to mind. Ah well, I'd rather go to Wales anyways. lol Christine |
