So I have already posted this in relationships and chat - apologies if you keep running into the same thread....

I am saddened my the number of MNers on here (especially on the relationship boards) who are lonely/alone - literally have no RL support at all, and I think MN and more specifically MNers could do something about it.

The original thread is here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/1426504-When-you-need-a-RL-friend

If you have five minutes to wizz through and think it's even remotely a good idea, could you show your support at 'site stuff' here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/1428019-Long-running-sticky-thread-request

MNHQ are going to see what the general consensus is...

No need to comment on here (otherwise I will end up with four threads running on the same theme and will probably be shot by MNHQ firing squad) but I might bump this a few times.

Lovely idea. Would it be a bit like the friendship bench in the infants, where someone goes when they want a bit of company?

AnyFucker · 14/03/2012 17:15

"The Friendship Bench"

That sounds like a good name

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 14/03/2012 17:17

I think that is a brilliant idea.
