Oh OP :( I know how you feel. I finally met people with similar interests a week and a half ago, I am so chuffed to finally have two friends
I spent five years movign around and moved to Brighton just over a year ago with my DP, who was the only friend who had survived my moves and I ended up hooking up with him! 
My local MNetters are lovely, you should see if there is a meetup close to you and go, they're good fun!
Electric: Sorry to hear you can't come Saturday :(
gallifrey, postmanpatsblackandwhitecat medi88 and ageekswife: If you are near enough to Brighton there are meets every few months! They're good fun too :)
Anyone near Brighton/Lewes feel free to say hi, I'm a 23yo in Woodingdean and work in Lewes three days a week with a 2yo girl Mon-Weds mornings, can meet for coffee in the afternoons there too without her.
I have no kids and am really busy for somebody who has no life
And rubbish at organising meets
But I am going to try harder in 2013 to actually arrange coffee and natter with locals on a regular basis, honestly!
