Whether you have a lot of money to throw around or you have to count your pennies, having a moocher for a friend can get old very fast. A mooch is someone who conveniently and consistently needs your assistance for things and they never pay you back.

Making Friends in a New Location
If you have moved to a new area you probably know that making new friends isn’t as easy as you think. Of course you’ll still have your old friends from back home, but making new friends in your new location is a must if you want to have any kind of social life. Making new friends in a new environment won’t happen if you never get out of the house. Just like when you are dating, if you want to make connections you have to get out there. Here are some places where you can go to look for new friends:

Adjusting to Life After a Breakup
Most of us have been there at some stage of our lives. Hours on the phone to our friends, crying, hoarding the mint chocolate chip ice cream, wandering about in our pyjamas; it’s what is commonly known as the mourning phase of breaking up - when your life doesn’t feel the same and you finally feel the loss of the other person. Whether you initiate the break up or he does, there is a mourning process to go through. Once you go through mourning the loss of your relationship, you have to put your world back together. It’s not going to be easy but keep in mind this isn’t the first relationship to have ended and it likely won’t be the last. The fact is, life is going to go on with or without you participating in it. If you want to come back to the land of the living, you’ll have to do some adjusting and get over your break up.

No doubt by now you’ve been in at least a dozen different social settings where the question of your singleness has become the topic of conversation. For many single women, it’s enough to make them want to stay in and live up to the shrew reputation some family and coupled friends believe they already have. For others, it’s an annoyance that has gone on too long. Being single shouldn’t be looked down upon but surprisingly a woman that is still single into her thirties or older is looked at as not being able to ‘catch’ a man and settle down.

Living with Your Friends - the Pros and Cons
Television has made living with friends the ‘in’ thing to do. Each week we watch our favourite characters navigate living together and comical situations that they get themselves and each other into. Looks like a great idea on screen, but is living with your friend all it’s cracked up to be? Growing up, you and your best friend probably talked about going to the same university, getting married, having kids, and even living in the same neighbourhood. It was your fantasy and solidified your roles as best friends. Now that you’re all grown up, you can begin acting out your dreams for finding the perfect flat and moving into a place together. Don’t begin packing and moving just yet though; there are many ups and downs to living with a friend.

To stay in or opt out?
Hey Ladies - so it’s been a while since I’ve dumped online. I found about a week ago that my OH of 6 months lied to me. He told me that he was going to Poland on business, which I didn’t believe I looked in his email and found thats he had booked a hotel in Sweden for this girl he snogged before we started going out. I confronted him - he said he can explain. So he sent me a letter explaining all his feelings that he needs to sort his out and that he needs to find himself…
