we're in the same boat! my husband and sister in law left this morning for pennsylvania (for an entire week)... leaving me and my daughter here by ourselves. Kylie is asleep, as usual, and I'm awake... in the middle of the night... as usual! i'm going to be sleeping in my den, with all 4 of my dogs, with the tv on. that way i'm not alone!

what kind of foods do you like?? i'm a pretty good cook, and i can help ya' out there! :biggrin:

Hi Claire

Bless you honey.... if you lived nearer I'd let you stay with me and my hectic family :lol: .

At our other house (about 5 years ago my hubby worked nights for a year and I spent the entire year sleeping on the sofa. hated sleeping on my own, so I know how it feels. Pleased to report I no longer feel like that where we are living now....

Do your neighbours know your parents are away? If your neighbours know, then it is reassuring knowing they are listening out for you. You will be fine :hug:

What sort of food so you like? Do you prefer meat meals or pasta etc?

My hubbie is often left on his own as I am a stewardess in my other job!! I leave him lots of ready meals that have the instructions on the back - really easy to do. Baked potatoes are easy, with beans & cheese, tuna & mayo etc. Pasta is quick (about 10 -12 mins in boiling water) and you can get plenty of jars of sauces from the supermarket.Good luck, I am sure you will be fine. Let the neighbours know though - they will keep an eye out also.

Hiya

Just pop round your friends or relatives between 5 and 6pm ... thats what time most people have tea...they are bound to ask if you would like to join them as your folks are away. Other than that...i am sure you would be ok living on beans and toast...egg on toast...etc for a while...till they return...and then i suggest you spend some time in the kitchen with your mum to learn some basic cooking skills...cos you wont be at home forever....

As for sleeping alone...i don't like this much either..try leaving the TV on downstairs...hearing the TV will feel like when someone is still up after you have gone to bed. Have a nice milky drink and read a book for while...You'll soon feel sleepy and just nod off.

You will be fine Hun...don't worry. xxxx

im 21 and rubbish at being on my own

make beans on toast or pasta in boiling water till soft with a jar of pasta sauce from sainsburys or something thrown in- they taste good. if asll else fails toast and cereal!

chicken too- im sure mum has a ribbed pan thingy- bung the chicken on then sizzle for 10 - 15 mins till brown/burnt yummy

 

[pinkshell_nails]

Oh bless you claire!

I too dont particularly like being at home on my own, especially late at night, as im a wimp and get scared! Juat make sure that when you are in the house in the eve, you lock the doors and windows straight away, that way you can feel comfortable knowing you wont mistakenly leave them open when you go to bed. As for the food thing, i would stock up on lots of microwave meals, and bags of salad, then all you have to do is bung the meal in the micro, and chuck the salad on your plate, hey presto! Or pasta is a safe bet, with a sauce, or just cheese on top, or a cheese sauce with cheese on top! Dont fret though, you can always stay on the nail geek site all night then sleep during the day!

Hi Claire! Where about in yorkshire do you live?

My daughter Gemma who is 23yrs old is on her own too, She has two boys 4 and 3 yrs who are on holiday with there other Nana in Cyprus for 4wks.

She is so lost and missing them real bad, but thought it would be good for the boys to go and spend sometime, not to mention have a great time/holiday with there Nana aunts and uncles from there dads family (She and partner seperated reasently).

She is staying with me at the moment but would love some company. She is having meals with John and i from time to time, So i dont see why we couldn't do the same for you!


If there is anything i can help you with just shout. You are more than welcome to join us too.

luv 'n' hugs

Have you got a mate or a boyfriend that you could ask to stay with you? You could turn it into a little holiday of your own.
