Is there a Gingerbread group in your area? It is a support group for single parents, and they run 'friendship' groups http://www.gingerbread.org.uk

It's a tough one and I really feel for you. I got a small dog. Sounds daft but he really does keep me company. And it is nice to have a little furry creature come snuggle up to you at 10pm when the kids are all asleep. There was also a parent and baby group for singletons near me and I would go there once a week. It was nice to have people to talk to who know what you're going through.
