New Friends needed!

HELP!! I'm Looking for some new REAL Friends! I'm a Mum of two beautiful happy boys. My Second arrived just 4 weeks ago now.
I had my First Son (now 3.5) in 2015, this was the beginning of the End for my social life - ha! Ok, now generally speaking having kids when none of your friends have any is NOT easy. Maintaining friendships, when just having a conversation is difficult! I mean having a toddler spilling your coffee while wanting your attention 24-7 when you and your friend try and have a few sentences of conversation... GOD. It's must be kind of annoying.
Then there's HOW I met the majority of my "Friends"... WELL... when you used to have a job that came with perks ie. Free tickets, guest list to Events and access all areas at cool concerts and parties, lets just say you seem to make friends and quickly. I can't say for sure but I'm pretty sure 90% were "in it" for the perks. The proof came when I had my first Son and due to the nature of a Nightlife lifestyle needless to say I wasn't doing my cool job anymore. The fun had to come to an end, and with it went my so called mates. I'm no spring chicken (nearly 40 now) but I'm a good laugh and really want to make some solid REAL friendships with other likeminded Mums (if there are any out there) so if this resonates with you on any lever then please give me a shout.. I'm available and up for laughs on weekdays and at weekends and live in the Hackney (London)

Smurf, don’t feel too bad about your friends. It may not have been the free tickets that were the attraction. There are loads of mums on here who found that friends fade away because they had children.
Mine did. They were all still at work, travelling and earning plenty, and I was home dealing with nappies & wrestling Apple purée into a toddler. It wasn’t really their thing.
What about the other mums at nursery, you can’t be the only mum in her 30s. I took up running to get out of the house and made some new friends that way.
