I am the only single person left in our group of friends. We have all been close for between 10 and 15 years. Most have married or coupled off within the group and had children etc so I count the husbands and partners of my girlfriends to be my friends too. I left a violent relationship in February and was temporarily homeless until the council house me in April. Not one of them has stepped foot in my flat despite numerous invites. I try to attend get togethers as often as I can but it does depress me sometimes (plus I'm bi polar and i suffer horrific lows) when I am seen to not be making an effort with the group some of them have been known to sulk with me.....
Anyhow we had a group Xmas meal arranged yesterday like every year and there wa going to be about 13 of us (me bein number 13) I did a dot of Xmas shopping after getting 300 wages early and spent about 50 In town. I came home got ready to go out and went to transfer some money from my day bag in to my clutch to discover my purse had gone! Hunted high and low and no sign, so either lost or stolen with 250 cash Inside. Gutted. So I sent a message on the group Facebook post that was started to plan the eve explaining I couldn't attend and why, said sorry and asked if anyone would like to have a drink at mine next week one eve.
Not a single fucking reply.
