ive never had many friends up here as i only moved here 5years ago..... and fell pregnant with my dd... s oall the friends i do have are oh friends who dont have children and dont seem them much ne way.....
i went to a playgroup and met some other mums and well there is only one of them that i really see now... our kids were born on the same day and well shes like my best friend but i dont get to see me much as she works nites (shesa nurse)
so i feel all alone again.... esp now lil Imogen is here....... i cant really go to playgroups at the mo as i have lucy at home i know she will be starting school in a cpl of weeks..

oh loop

wherebouts do you live?

im exactly the same, most of my friends are on here. when i became pg i was 18 and most of my friends were going out getting pissed, smoking, sleeping around etc, but i was buying a house, having a baby and getting engaged and then married. my friends just seemed to think i was too 'grown up'

Im so sorry you feel so alone. i dont really have any advice exept go to playgroups, mayb join a gym or go swimming or something and mayb you'll meet somebody out there who is looking for a friend too

I know how hard it is. I moved to be with DH and only now after 4 years of living here do I feel that I have a good mix of friends.

It's really hard making friends when you're not a kid anymore. I feel a bit of a nutter asking a grown woman if she fancies meeting up sometime. It's like asking someone on a date!

I know how you feel too!

It sounds odd but I know lots of people but they're not really my friends....If that makes sense?

I have a best friend Becky, we've been friends about 7 years now and we used to go out a lot but when I moved to Chester we stopped going out as getting home for me is a real nightmare! We try and see each other every couple of weeks but its hard as she works shifts and I'm always knackered now!
I have a couple of other friends but one is at Uni and when she's not she's travelling and the other lives miles away so only see her now and again!

The girls I work with are all late 20's early 30s, 40's and 50's so I don't go out or socialise with any of them......I'm the baby at work!

I miss having a someone there when I fancy a cuppa & a Chat I can just pop round! And having conversations with someone where we're the same age & like similar things!

When we move OH wants to move one side of chester (as in to wales) and I want to move to the other side (towards wirral) closer to my friends & family! Being in North wales we'll stillbe close to his family & friends but way further away from mine!

Sometimes I get really fed up esp when OH goes out for a pint with his mates and I'm at home wishing I could just pop here and see so and so and pop here and see whoever! He wonders why I spend so much money on clothes!

All us girlies who live close should meet up now and again & do lunch or something!

I have the same prob here too. I know lots of people but no one i can just pop round and see.
The only person is a £20 train ride away

i can relate, its a horrible feeling.

I used to be like that, i moved away from home 10 years ago.

Up untill last year i had one best friend, we did everything together, but then things happened and we fell out.

Now id rather not have anyone close to me, that way i cant get hurt.

Im happy with it just being me and Jase, this year at college i met a girl and shes really trying and making the effort to be friends, invited me over all the time and texts. Altho i like the idea to have another close friend, i just cant bring myself to do it and i feel bad for keep making excuses why i cant go round.
