how do I get a life? with no support

[AMAZINWOMAN]

I just need some inspiration really. I have two great kids, but haven't had a night out for ages. And it will be ages before i will again-when kids are old enough to babysit themselvs really!!

although i invite friends round, with kids in tow-and make most of my situation

i still sometimes get bored just me and kids. i work-but am looking for new work

cant seem to find a club that we can all do together
budget is SOOO rubbish-so cant even afford a regular babysitter
just need some inspiraation to get out of this rut

I know, it's crap. Wish I could help, sorry

Will try and find some info for you

gingerbread

Try the groups in your area. I know a couple of people who have made really good friends through them and now babysit for each other/socialise together.

Might be worth trying something. I am pretty sure they organise family things out too.

I tried gingerbread once but ran a mile when they said i had to do fundraising!! they wantd me to satnd in the middle of town holding a tin-needless to say i never went back.

i don't have much-just my pride and 2 great kids!!

do your little ones go to nursery?
because the girls that look after my dd offer very cheap baby sitting, and it is great as dd knows them all..
