Hey, just moved last month to the Durham area (between Bishop Auckland & Crook) after a few years overseas, before which we were from a totally different part of UK, so we're proper Billy No Mates right now!
To make things worse, I deleted Facebook a few weeks ago on some "I don't need social media to be happy" drive and am way too stubborn to reactivate, so that easy avenue is closed to me. We've also gone and got a puppy just to make it that bit harder to get out the house! 
Anyway, I've got 4 boys aged 3, 5, 7 & 10 and my partner and I are in our thirties. I'd love to make some mum friends (I'm not working at the mo) and/or some couple friends/friends for our kids, as we're missing our old network, but I'm sooo shy at the school gate etc! So if anyone on here fancies a chat get in touch!
