Hi, I moved to a new area 2 years ago following a traumatic event , and divorce. I work full time in a job 35 miles away from home, about an hours commute . I have 2 children of secondary school age.
Now I'm really struggling to find friends. My neighbours are all elderly, I now longer do the school gate thing, my work colleagues are lovely but I can't stay for drinks after work as I have to get home to do tea/ footy training/ scouts run etc. I really can't face driving back another 35 miles if they are going out on at 7.30, plus that would mean a 140 mile round trip in a day.the kids do activities but as they are older, most parents drop and run.
Most evenings are spent as mums taxi, which rules out me joining a gym, or dance class etc .
I do get some time at weekends , but where can I meet other women? Im desperate for some girlfriends to pop round and drink wine ....
