The Littlewoods Bingo Singledom Survival Guide

Thanks to St Valentine, February is all about the love. Now here Littlewoods Bingo, we personally think people shouldn't need a set day to show their other half how much they love them but alas, St Valentine wins out! He should try his luck in our online bingo halls!

So while every couple earmarks that day for a special Valentine's dinner, every singleton is eager to just ignore it. Unfortunately, short of locking yourself away and playing online bingo all day, there is no avoiding it. But there is a way of surviving, even enjoying it!

Now getting all cosy with a big bar of chocolate and a large of wine playing one of great bingo games or entering one of our fantastic bingo promotions is a definite front runner on how to spend that dreaded day. But it's by no means your only option. Sometimes it's better to confront it head on!

Why not get all your single bingo buddies out for a meal? Yes, every restaurant will be full of twosomes but that doesn't translate as smoochy, happy couples everywhere. In fact, we'll be happy to bet a bingo jackpot, that you and your mates will be having a better time that these couples!

The thing with Valentine's Day is it forces couples to go out and nine out of ten of them won't enjoy themselves. They'll be sat in an awkward silence, desperately wanting the next course to be served so they have a reason not to talk. See, you're not missing much!

Feeling better yet? If you've still got a way to go, then get yourself off to the cheesiest club you can find (70s and 80s often works best). Get yourself on the dance floor and shake that booty like two jiggling bingo balls! And you can arrange the whole evening in one of our online bingo chat rooms. Perfect.

If you do go out, don't forget to use our bingo auto dabber function though – after all a big bingo win is a much better thing to come home to on Valentine's Day!

But if you don't fancy being out and about, simply stay put. On Littlewoods Bingo's commands, treat yourself to either your favourite finest meal or some real junk food, get your favourite tipple and, oh course, some chocolate.

Then watch your favourite films (we recommend avoiding the soppy rom-coms!), spend the evening catching up with friends you've lost touch with (letter writing is highly underrated!), or listen to your favourite songs and even get up and dance around your living room.

If your feeling less energetic, run yourself a hot bath and soak away those nagging feelings by thinking "At least I get the bath to myself!" There's nothing worse than, and nothing particularly romantic about, being swished up in the tub with another! Think light hearted and things just will seem better, honest! Littlewoods Bingo is the name you can trust after all.

If you're keen to keep it all light hearted, why not pull a few Valentine-based pranks! Send a card or two to a couple of your close work colleagues or online bingo friends. Then sit back and watch them as they try and figure out who their secret admirer is! Remember to disguise your writing though!

Or why not celebrate the day as it was really intended by avoiding all the commercial decoys and making someone feel loved who really needs it. Arrange to visit a local nursing home or even an animal sanctuary and spend an hour with someone who doesn't really have anyone else. It'll give you that warm and fuzzy feeling that even a bingo win couldn't match!

But failing all that, you could always dedicate the day to playing online bingo with Littlewoods. We are your true love after all. Forget the flowers, candlelit dinners and posh choccies, our bingo games and promotions are the best presents this Valentine's Day!

The trick is not to turn the day into something it isn't. So you're single at the minute; all that means is you get to play online bingo whenever you want with all your bingo buddies! Now that's a happy ending!
