    For the middle aged single folks on here

    For the middle aged single folks on here, divorcees etc.

    Anyone got a dog or thought about getting a dog for company?

    I love dogs & I wouldn't get one just to help with my own loneliness, as it seems selfish, but they are great company.

    Problem is it would seriously restrict my availability for contracts - probably WFH only as there is nothing on my doorstep. I'm sure there are dogsitters/kennels but they probably cost a fortune & it all seems a bit unfair on the dog. Who knows, maybe there's perm WFH stuff out there too. Will have to investigate.

    Just leave it tied to a post on the dual carraigeway when in contract, then just get another one after it's dead and your next benched..

      Thought about getting a cat?

      To expand your social circle, why not do some charity work?

        Not overkeen on cats.

        I do have a social circle, it's just living alone that I find a bit miserable after 20 years of co-habiting.

            You could always opt for a likeable personality instead?

              Rent out your spare room. It'll give you some company as well as supplement your income.

                Take in a homeless person.
                Or a lodger.

                You’re welcome.
                See You Next Tuesday
