Welcome to the first blog from The Single Girl's Guide...
I thought it was worth giving a brief introduction into why I've decided to start writing this blog, and just what you can expect from the blogs to come. I guess the easiest way to start is to tell you a little bit about me. I'm 24, live in England, and work a 9 - 5 job in an office. The job has nothing to do with the degree I completed last year (that got me into mountains of debt), and so every day I wish I was doing something else. I live at home with my Dad as I can't afford to live anywhere else, and I have now been single for the past three years. As I put all of this into print it makes me want to go and eat the last of the Ben and Jerry's ice cream that's in the freezer. Then I'll get out my DVD copy of The Notebook and have a good selfish "why me" cry. However, the reason I'm not hot-footing it to the kitchen right now is because I think about the hundreds, if not thousands of girls across the country who are in a similar position to me - and that is my reason for writing this blog.
It's a hard time to be a single girl. We're living in a world where having the perfect job with the perfect house and the perfect partner seems to be incredibly important. Yet for most of us this scene, appealing as it is, is nothing more than a modern day myth. There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by where I don't spill something, trip on something that isn't there, or say something idiotic in front of the wrong people. None of us are perfect, neither should we have to be.
These blogs will eventually cover a whole range of topics - from love to lifestyle, fashion to passion - and give all you single girls out there the perfect tips on exactly how to get it wrong. So I urge you to sit in your comfiest chair, grab a packet of chocolate biscuits and enjoy The Single Girl's Guide To Getting It Wrong. Then please, forgive yourself for eating the whole packet of biscuits. We all know if you're going to do something wrong, do it right...

Personally, I think the perfect life is one where we trip and say silly things. Best of luck with your blog, it's an interesting read. As a hetrosexual male I almost feel as if I'm breaking an unwritten law by Reading the thoughts of a lady and getting a feminine perspective. Best of luck with your blog. Mr Frost
