Lonely and bored to tears in croydon

[Jjwayne]

I am 35 year old mum to three girls the youngest of which is eight.moved to croydon 18 months ago and then have recently unemployed after suffering a brain haemorrhage in September . I have no friends the area and the road I live on is like a frigging ghost town. I am so desperate to meet some other mums nearby to socialise with or just share a cup of tea . I feel on the verge of tears nearly everyday and just don't know what to do.Help!

There is a "Chill n Chat" specifically for mums of schoolage children which will be at the Selsdon Hall coffeeshop which is in the basement of Sainsburys in Selsdon (on 64 bus route) this coming Thursday (and every last Thursday of the month) at 10am. Run by Laura and Angie.

MuminPurley - do you have any official details of this so that we can put it on our What's On page. Sounds really good - might pop along myself!
