I am 40 and moved to a new area (Previously in Central London, now in Greater London) 5 years ago. I have a 5 year old DS and a 4 year old DD and a husband of 12 years. I have friends from school who live dotted around the country and friends from previous jobs who again, live dotted around London. I stay in touch with lots of friends my phone and we meet up regularly. I have made lots of acquaintances through the kids schools and clubs etc but no real 'friends' is it just me who finds it hard? I always seem to be just on the outside of the friendship groups......
