Yes, with quite a few.

BitchQueen90 · 20/10/2018 20:13

Yes. My 3 closest friends I have known since we were 8/9.

dontknowwhattodo80 · 20/10/2018 20:14

On Facebook yes, haven't seen them for donkeys years though! We travelled a lot with Dads work when growing up so I now live totally the other end of the country

MadisonMontgomery · 20/10/2018 20:14

Yes. All my close friends I have been friends with since nursery.

TheSageofOnions · 20/10/2018 20:15

No. Not one of them.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 20/10/2018 20:16

Yes, I work with a couple and have a couple of friends I have known since play school. We aren't as close as we used to be, but we are still in each other's lives.

Hazardswan · 20/10/2018 20:21

Not one. No secondary school friends either, went to college at 16 and still have close friends from there tho.

Met my oldest friend the first day in reception at primary school. We've drifted in and out of each others lives over the last 50 years but always kept in touch. She's my daughters godmother and now is the carer for one of my elderly relatives so we see each much other more regularly. So lucky to have her as a friend

IndigoSpritz · 20/10/2018 20:26

No. We haven't officially fallen out, IYSWIM, but we've drifted apart. I know the whereabouts of one or two of my primary school contemporaries but I'm not planning to make contact. Never go back. It's been well over thirty-five years in some cases.

agarrotterofspiders · 20/10/2018 20:27

Not primary, no. A couple from secondary and university.

Dowser · 20/10/2018 20:33

My lovely friend died over three years ago...we’d been next door neighbours till we married , and friends for over 60 years and never fell out
Can’t believe she’s gone

AppleKatie · 20/10/2018 20:37

Nope

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 20/10/2018 20:42

No. I moved primaries four times, and secondary school was best forgotten. My family is big enough for me not to need many friends.

Babybearsporij · 20/10/2018 21:03

I have a few people I was friends with at primary school on my facebook and we occasionally message each other. I wouldn't call them "friends" as such though.

I went to a different secondary than most of my friends at primary, so we kind of lost touch as I made different friends.

I'm still friends with a couple of people from secondary school, although we're not close.

JosellaPlayton · 20/10/2018 21:05

Yes I have 3 friends that I went to primary school with. 1 I was very close to but we lost touch as went to different secondaries and reconnected at 6th form college. The other 2 weren’t in my class and I wasn’t really friends with them at primary school but we became friends through a part tine job when we were teens.

rallytog1 · 20/10/2018 21:08

Yes, several. And now some of our children are in the same class together at their primary school!

SockQueen · 20/10/2018 21:11

I have a few on Facebook, and our parents are all still friends so see a few occasionally at Christmas/NY gatherings. But not proper friends. I don't see anyone from secondary school either.
