1 – Now whilst I do occasionally have a little person sharing with me, 80% of the time I have a whole big double bed all to myself! I can stretch out and sleep in any position I like whilst not having to worry about stinky man smell, duvet hoggers or cold feet using me as a radiator. Plus, if anyone is snoring it’s only me and I can’t here myself so that is a huge win… as I said I have the odd baby foot in my face but Miss Independent likes her own 
space when sleeping at the moment… I wonder how long that will last?!?!
2 – So whether you are in all day or going out and coming back, once that door closes…. it doesn’t matter one jot what you look like! I love nothing more than curling up in my comfy joggers and a snuggly jumper or hoodie, rain or shine, nothing beats good old comfort clothing. This gorgeous jumper was sent to me by Little Dot Baby Shower, who not only do the most amazing range of baby shower bits but the most awesome mamma and baby wear ever!! I mean how true is this jumper “Need more sleep – Mama Life!” I saw it and just had to have it and it is soooooo comfy and cosy but not too thick meaning I can get away with it on summer and winter evenings! Of course, underneath the comfy outfit leads me onto the next point….
3 – Â As I was saying, beneath those joggers…. hairy legs!! That’s right girls, technically I don’t have to shave all winter!! I can just plait them and chop it all off next summer. Hey, I can even get away with going a few days in summer if I wear a maxi dress or I am just at home! Ah the luxury… and I must be saving an absolute fortune of razors – bonus!
4 – Utter control…. once the baby is in bed I regain control and am ruler of the roost. It’s what I want for dinner, its my choice of what to watch on TV anndddd…. now brace yourselves but I even get to have the remote control!! I know, it felt weird in my hand but oh so good too! Send them down the pub and give it a whirl ladies (I say send them down the pub because I am not proposing you kick them out or end your relationship purely for remotal control!!)
5 – Finally, and my fellow bloggers will like this one, there is no one trying to grasp my attention when actually what I need to do is sit down and work/blog. I hear so many of my blogging buddies getting an earful from their other halves because they are being told that blogging is taking over. I count myself very fortunate that I haven’t go
t someone that I am trying to please at the same time as trying to really make my blog work as a career. I often sit up long into the night (it’s rather late right now) finishing off blog posts or scheduling or trawling the web for new blogger opportunities… I’d feel very sorry for my other half if I had one!
Of course there are 
some perks to being single as you can see, but I am not sure that any of them however great, will replace the amazing feeling of arms around you or having someone share in the joy of your achievements. Yes, I may have to ignore them for a while, but  I suppose if they were the right one, then they would understand as I am sure many partners do.

You will find someone who loves you for you not shaved legs or best clothes etc etc hubby doesn’t moan about Blogging as it means he gets to watch footy in peace. #ablogginggoodtime
Ha ha ha excellent xx
Popping back from #FamilyFun ? You are brilliant -still laughing about those hairy legs ?
I don’t shave my legs in winter unless we are going out and I am likely to be showing a bit of leg – much to my OHs disgust !!! – when he starts shaving his legs I’ll start shaving mine in winter !!!
#triballove
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha xx
Oh I’m so with you on the space for blogging front – milk it lovely!! But one day you’ll love shaving your legs for that gorgeous man who just hasn’t met you yet lovely xx and what a treat he is in for! #ablogginggoodtime
Hahaha thanks lovely. Yup smooottthh legs hahaha x
Remotal control = big perk! Haha. I think it’s so important to spend time focussing on the positives in life and it makes for a much happier person rather than someone who can only see how badly done to they are. Everyone has positives and negatives in their life. #ABloggingGoodTime
Excellent point sweet xx
Haha! Love this and the hairy legs bit. I agree that there will be someone out there for you who will love you for hairy legs, remote hogging and all. đŸ™‚ Thank you for hosting #ablogginggoodtime xx
Luckily my hubbie is very understanding,bra off and comfies on as soon as the kids are in bed! Loved the hairy plaited legs comment, hilarious ☆ #ablogginggoodtime
I am sat here ignoring mr Tammy in my joggers, blogging. It’s ok cause he’s sat in his PJs on the iPad… It’s not a caste Blanche though I get grief for tapping away and, moaned at for not watching the telly properly and asking questions. He also went away the other night – I had the best nights sleep in ages. I slept in the middle of the bed all night through, it was bliss! Xx #ablogginggoodtime
after 8 years of marriage a few of these still apply to me haha… maybe he won’t put up with my hairy legs for much longer though! x
he he, I live like a slob and I have a Dave. I cherish the evenings when he goes to bed at 9pm and I stay up for an hour or two! he he. #ablogginggoodtime
I cant imagine how hard it is on your own – espec when that 3am night waking again is down to you to get up for! luckily the hubby Xboxes so I get my blogging time hehe đŸ™‚ #ablogginggoodtime
I was raised by a single mum and so I know that every single mum out there more than deserves (and should enjoy) these perks!! Life is extra tough on your own, so make sure you pull on those comfys and enjoy not shaving your legs whilst star fishing in bed!! You deserve a medal! #ablogginggoodtime
A whole double bed sounds amazing! #ablogginggoodtime
Love this so much! I do get quite a few groans in the evenings while I’m on my laptop…and would LOVE to have full remotal control. At the moment, the 16 month old has the control mostly.. thanks for hosting #ablogginggoodtime Fab to join in! xx
Well, the blogging time, I can see that one! #ablogginggoodtime
Awwww this is super cute… <3 my partner is very understanding but yeah sometimes I'd like not to have him making my house smell like boy smell!!
I’ll second all of that, being a single mum too! I love when you are absolutely knackered that when you get the little ones or ones to bed that, thats it, complete you time to just crash out and not even have to speak. Lying star fished in the bed, also heaven! #BloggerClubUK
Total heaven… like bridget jones being a sand angel in the second film when high on mushrooms ha ha ha x
I was raised by a single Mum and now coping with Henry midweek when hubby is away, I appreciate how hard she must have worked.
So enjoy your well deserved me time, you’ve more than earned it.

Thanks lovely xx
Haha, I don’t shave my legs as often as I should and I am happily married. Whoops. Must try harder. I would very much enjoy having a bed to myself! I also love the t-shirt đŸ™‚ #bloggerclubuk
hahaha thanks lovely – think MR C is one of a rare kind xx
My first husband and dad to slaughter one was so useless I’d have been better as a single parent. I was by the time she was 3 and I rejoiced in going to bed when I wanted, having control of the remote and so much more. #bestandworst
Calling back in from #FamilyFun. Thanks for linking up lovely lady! I am still living like a slob! he he
I have already commented on this so just wanted to say I’m popping back from #Familyfun to say thank you again so much for joining us xx
Great post!
Having the remote and a double bed is reason enought for me to kick out my OH!!

haha I must admit whilst I have been preggers I have slept in the spare room a few nights so I can spread out (and no man smell). My hubby is quite good about the blogging as I get some good stuff! Sure you will meet your match who loves the hairy legs as well!! Thanks for sharing with #bestandworst x
