AIBU no friends

[TickleFlower]

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

I'm so lonely. :(

thyme if its middlebrook Tesco then yes that's me not the local john Wayne impersonator

[AboutThyme]

Ooh middlebrook Tesco, you must be vair posh and live in the naice outlying villages.

[AboutThyme]

(probably Adlington )

[AboutThyme]

It wasn't nice when I lived there but they did have lots of pubs, which now are closed down....

[Flojo1979]

Ha clearly u haven't been in the Elephant and Castle! Adlington is not posh! It's full of mooncup hippies like me

[AboutThyme]

Ooh UPPER Aggy, get you. My sister met her husband in the top spinners one misty night 10 years ago!

[Flojo1979]

thyme that made me spill my brew! I often wondered if anyone goes out in Adlington, clearly not, u left

[Flojo1979]

Misty night in the top spinners? Had someone set the bin on fire again?

[AboutThyme]

I think I was breathing out sambuca fumes and b&h too heavily.

[AboutThyme]

Every Friday and Saturday night, Start at the waggon & horses, then the railway, white bear, clayton, stagger out of the bridge at closing time...happy days. Occasionally walk up the hill and spend £10 in the jukebox at top spinners.

(This was some years ago I feel obliged to add!)

[Fakebook]

OP, hope you've taken advice from this thread and have made some friends.

[Flojo1979]

Happy days

[AboutThyme]

Talk about hijacking a thread

[SlightlyJaded]

I haven't read the whole thread (sorry - DC has vomit thingy)

But

Please do use the Friendship bench in your Mumsnet Local/Meetups - this is EXACTLY what it is meant for and it's all new and it would be lovely if it did some good.

Just go and sit on your bench and wait for someone else to come along. Less full on than a MN meetup, and a nice low key way to meet local MNers

And no, I am not being paid to promote it - just thought I'd say like..

[Flojo1979]

Yeah I did wonder if Fakebook was making a point!

[ConfusedPixie]

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!

Waves to any mnters in that area who would like to meet up

[Dontbugmemalone]

Thanks strawberrypenguin. That's very kind :).

I'm in Poland at the moment and getting very homesick.
