Edited to say Thank you to everyone who has written! I have to say I'm having some trouble getting the kid to bed, so I'm probably going to postpone this as I'm getting tired and have work in the morning. Take care!

I've had a long week, and it's not even over... and I'm stuck at home because I'm a single mum, and I just feel like someone to chat with.

A little about me: I'm a hopelessly optimistic person whose view of life has lately been a little... tainted, shall we say. I work, I study, and I have primary care of my 3yo son.

He's going to bed (hopefully) in a few hours, but I'm posting now in the hopes of finding someone suited to a conversation with. We can talk about anything you want, I'm an open book, so if you're interested, send me a PM with a little about yourself. Pros are going to be anyone who likes reading, writing, supernatural TV shows, photography, getting outdoors, spending time with family and friends, going out to eat or to the movies, even just talking about your day and what you've been up to. I have an interest in most things.

I'd rather talk to someone more my own age, so please include your age in your PM. No offense to you young guys out there, but in the past I've just not found the right connection either due to inability to hold a conversation or expecting me to carry it, not really having a lot in common, or well... just plain horniness leading to a one-track mind.

I don't mind talking about sex and other stuff, but let's not make it the sole purpose of the call, and this isn't an advert for phone sex, so don't be thinking it's going there.

Must haves: Good sense of humour, ability to hold a conversation.... Weaknesses are accents - Irish, Scottish, American in general ;)

Please have (or be willing to get) Skype and be in a place/time/space that you can actually stop and have a conversation - clearly this isn't for people who are at work... I think that'll do, look forward to hearing from you.

I don't KIK, so when you inevitably ask, that's a "no".
