SueMaid, that was my mum's mantra lol.

Best friend? me, as per Foggy's answer.

Learnt the hard way, you are the only person you can rely on 100% and the only one who can never reach round far enough to stab you in the back!

I have three close friends who all have different qualities that I cherish. But my bestest pal is the one who irritates me less than the others and who has a sunny nature. Like others, I am also on very good terms with myself:-) BC XX

Well Puss I also like myself and think thats a nice feeling.
I didn't hesitate to put my OH but thought I might get a bit
of leg pulling. If you feel you are a nice person thats all that
matters cause no one knows you better than yourself. lol

Me!

I love Suemaid's motto - its soooo true. I have some great friends whom I love to bits, but they have their own familities / priorities so the only person I can really rely on is me.

There do seem to be a lot of us who think like this!

I think it is lovely that you can feel like that about you OH Emma.

I am seperated from mine now but we were together for a long time. I don't think I could ever have said that about him - he was too busy thinking about himself. We should never have stayed together as long as we did but when you have children it affects your decisions. I am so much happier now running my own life

I don't have one best friend ....I have 4-5 excellent ones who have been with me through thick and thin and who I would trust with my life.

My OH is one of them x

Tina it's true when you have children to think about it
can be a difficult situation, but now you are your own
person and enjoying life thats a blessing. I thank my
lucky star for my OH he turned out to be a good un. lol

Like Joy I have some very close friends, we have known one another ranging from 50 down to 20 odd years.

I had a life threating operation last year and I was really moved by the out pouring of concern and friendship shown by my family and close friends.

Love them all,

Gina

Apart from OH - I have one very best friend now (all the others unfortunately have gone before me) and have known her for over 50 years, think it is because I know all her secrets but she doesn't know all of mine! Thinks she does!!!!
