Love letters

Do people still write love letters? Texts and emails are not the same. There is something romantic about putting pen to paper and writing your feeelings down. You can also keep a love letter for years. Its something to read over again years later, bringing personal memories flooding back. Find someone to write to on singlenotdesperate.com

Cool Britannia

The Royal Wedding definately makes you proud to be British. I can't think of another country where this type of occasion would be watched by over 2 billion people. Cool Britannia is on the rise again.

Is it so bad to be a bit forward?

Most women on dating sites wait to be contacted, but men would love them to take the initiative. So ladies, make your choice and get your love life under control - you make the choices and get what you want! You may be pleasently surprised...

Rekindle romance in your life

It needn't cost a fortune to do something unexpected. All the vouchers available now make a meal out very affordable. I like Cafe Rouge and Zizi both excellent value and they are always having offers. Or as the weather is better now, how about a pic-nic. Nip into M&S for some posh nosh that will impress. You could even make it yourself. Here are some ideas from the BBC website

Cheesy TV quotes

We should all be so lucky to have someone who will never let us go. The ultimate legacy is to leave behind someone who will love you forever.

The gents loo will never be the same again!

Valentine worries

Sometimes a bunch of flowers from the supermarket just won't cut it. For Valentines day you need to put in a bit more effort. Heart shaped toast, a romantic meal or, if you are lucky enough to live in London, Eurostar to Paris for lunch. That would earn some serious Brownie points. If you have messed up, you can always... look on Single not desperate - better luck next time!

Is marriage a business?

The latest idea is to treat you marriage as a business where you trade skills rather than splitting every task down the middle. It does make some sense as if one person is great at putting up shelves, but the other can't knock a nail in straight it is obvious who has to do the DIY. It still leaves all the rubbish jobs though... can you be skilled at washing up or putting the bins out? Old fashioned give and take seems to be the answer. Try it at single not desperate. If you watch this video you will see that clearly washing up is skilled after all!

Facebook problems

Is it me or is Facebook difficult to use? I have just spent about an hour trying to add a post when previously I could get to where I want with one click. They must have a team of people who change things just to baffle users. A bit like when the supermarket moves everything so that you spend hours doing the shopping. Very annoying!
Try single not desperate its much easier to use!

Garage love

You know when you take your car for its annual test and there is that horrible feeling that you are going to get a huge bill? Well this morning my car passed first time! I now have warm feelings towards garage mechanics in general - until the next time the car goes wrong.
I need to get onto single not desperate now!!! See here for an extreme case of MOT testing blues!

Desperate Housewives

Am I the only person that is baffled by 'Desperate Housewives'. I have watched some of it a few times, and lose interest after about 5 minutes. ER and CSI are much better. I probably need to go on singlenotdesperate.com to cut down on my TV viewing! Everybody loves Grissom anyway - shame he has left.

Single not desperate mug

Did you know that you can buy a single not desperate mug? I think it is a Jamie Oliver thing. Odd when he has droves of children and is happily married. You can buy it from Amazon if you feel you must have one!

Liz Taylor Richard Burton film

Rumours have it that a film is to be made about the stormy romance and marriages of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. Hollywood actors Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie and Russell Crowe have been linked with the staring roles.

A book by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger - entitled Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century - is said to be the basis for the film.

Those of us who remember it first time around will be interested to see how this plays out. See if you can find your Richard or Liz on Singlenotdesperate

Greetings from sunny Malta

Early spring sunshine, lots of fresh calamari and amazing fish straight out of the sea. You can't beat it. Went to flute concerts in Mdina and Valetta too. Gozo is very pretty, climbed around the Azur Window and got my feet wet. This was our second visit and I must say that I really like Malta. It gives you the advantage of nice weather, English spoken everywhere and even driving on the left! Hiring a car was a good idea, Maltese roads are full of pot holes and the drivers are terrible, but with everybody doing about 40mph maximum it is pretty easy. Just remembered- cakes are really good on Malta - found a great coffee house just near the dome in Mosta which is excellent and inexpensive.
