Grace’s Choice:  Standing Up for Single Life

Grace says: I had no problem choosing a story this week, as my favourite came from the heart, (the Lonely Hearts Club). 10 Things… Only A Single Person Can Enjoy lists the reasons why all the independent women should stand up and shout their relationship status from the rooftops, (or from their couch while watching Sex in the City).

From the amazing collection of classic tracks that only single people can appreciate, regular threesomes (with Ben & Jerry's before you're getting any ideas), and of course indulging in a good 'creep', (I'm pretty good at that), this is definitely one for those who are happily in a relationship with themselves.
