Anyone want to be my friend? I literally have no friends.

I'm so lonely. :(

Preston here as well Smile

No friends here either. I know lots of people, but the ones I think are going to become proper friends, you know, the ones you can have a proper chat with, all end up fizzling out or drifting away. Makes me think there's something wrong with me Sad

I'm from the Home Counties, but most people have friends here so am not expecting anyone to be near me SadSad

I used to have very few friends. My eldest is 6 and I now have a handful of good friends who I met at the school gates when he started two years ago.

My other good friend I met at my local sure start children's centre. Stay and play sessions are a good way to meet a good mix of people.

Tickleflower - are you on the Norwich MN Facebook meet up page?

There is also a FB Children's activities in Norfolk page which has loads of info about local toddler groups etc. If you click on 'join' you will be approved by an admin and then you can see what's on offer for you and your LO in the area.

There are some very lovely MNers in Norwich. I have been on some of the evening meet ups and they are good fun but my kids are school age so I don't go to the daytime groups.

Hopefully you'll be able to hook up with some local MNers soon.

TheLightPassenger · 29/11/2012 13:36

sounds like there's enough for a Liverpool area meet and/or Preston meet. Or could all meet up in the middle in Manchester? any thoughts?

Dontbugmemalone · 29/11/2012 13:39

I'm in a similar position OP.

I don't have any friends, not much family either.

I'm currently abroad but will be moving back to the UK very soon if anyone wants to be my MN friend until then. :)

Moviestar1979 · 29/11/2012 13:49

I used to have lots of friends but feel like now since they have started getting married etc I see them less and less. I have also realised I don't have much in common with a lot of my old school friends these days. I have lots of acquaintances who I can go for a drink and a giggle / moan with but no one I would call just because I was feeling lonely and needed someone to chat to

AboutThyme · 29/11/2012 13:55

I can't believe there are 2 actual mumsnetters live in Chorley (well 3 including me!). I really thought everyone here lived in naice suburbs of London!

Wheresmygalaxy · 29/11/2012 13:57

I am lucky as I feel I have a few good friends I can rely on but I hate the idea people are feeling isolated. I'm always up for a coffee and a chat so if anyone wants to pm me, feel free.

I'm in the Liverpool area Smile

Annianni · 29/11/2012 14:11

We took 2 loaves with us.
I fed the swans by hand, to stop the noisy bastard white seagully things eating it all.

While Ds2 lobbed whole slices at the ducks.

It was lovely, and really quiet.

ChocolateCoins · 29/11/2012 14:13

Gobbymare, I'm in the north east and a sahm too. Tried to pm you but won't let me!

MrsReiver · 29/11/2012 14:16

backbone I'm in a kind of no man's land, it's technically Falkirk council but West Lothian postcode, I don't think either council really wants us!

RawShark · 29/11/2012 14:20
