I just need some inspiration really. I have two great kids, but haven't had a night out for ages. And it will be ages before i will again-when kids are old enough to babysit themselvs really!!

although i invite friends round, with kids in tow-and make most of my situation

i still sometimes get bored just me and kids. i work-but am looking for new work

cant seem to find a club that we can all do together
budget is SOOO rubbish-so cant even afford a regular babysitter
just need some inspiraation to get out of this rut

Will try and find some info for you

gingerbread

Try the groups in your area. I know a couple of people who have made really good friends through them and now babysit for each other/socialise together.

Might be worth trying something. I am pretty sure they organise family things out too.

I tried gingerbread once but ran a mile when they said i had to do fundraising!! they wantd me to satnd in the middle of town holding a tin-needless to say i never went back.

i don't have much-just my pride and 2 great kids!!
