Help! Bath/Bristol/S. Glouc. area, my friends are all deserting me

[lettuce]

Hello, I'm starting to feel a bit lonely around here as nearly all my friends either have moved already or are about to move away and I'm going to be a billy-no-mates soon!I'm assured that it's nothing to do with me(!), just one of those things.So I'd love to meet up with other mums and hopefully make some new friends.I live between Bristol and Bath, am 42 years old, married with 2 dds(5 and 13).I work part-time at the moment and I don't mind driving at all, I'm in Bath once or twice each week anyway.
So please say hello if you are interested.

Hello lettuce! I am sure you wont be alone on this site for long, i live in bath and have two children one 2 the other 3 months so i have my hands full at the moment perhaps when the weather gets a bit better we could meet for coffee!

hi guys, im in gloucester, however i dont drive, but if you want to make a day of it you can come over here of we could meat somewhere in the middle. as long as i can get their by bus of train..

Hi, I live in Bath with my DH and 3 children (near Oldfield park). I don't drive but would love to meet either in Bath or Bristol (anywhere on a bus route).

Hiya live in melksham with onemy partner and our 15th old boy.

Hi Lettuce,

Just to let you know you're not alone. I'm a bit further out than you guys but am a bit lonely as I work mostly from home. We moved here 18 months ago from the other side of the country, and although the mums I've met so far are lovely, Herefordians are a very insular race and for some reason they don't really do the social stuff!!!

I'm 40, live between Hereford and Monmouth, work part-time and have a ds of 9 and dd of almost 6, both are at primary school.

I know your area; we used to live in Westbury and I used to go shopping in Bath - in fact ds was born in RUH.

Keep in touch,

BL

I'm in TROWBRIDGE... have 3 boys (2 are autistic/adhd)

I live in Fishponds

Hi,

I live in Bath and I would be interested in meeting up!! x

Hi everybody, thanks for all the replies.I've seen some of the other Bath/Bristol threads as well, looks like there are quite a few of us. I hope something will get arranged eventually, though to get everybody together at the same time seems like is going to be really difficult.
My dds are both in school during the day so I'm pretty flexible with my time until it's time for the school run, so if anybody wants to come up with a date and time I'll be there.Or you could CaT me and we could arrange something.

hi again,
I was just wondering if this has happened to other people, where your circle of friends just seems to be disappearing ( for whatever reason)and you're left to try and make new friends.Going by past experience when friends have moved away, even though you're full of good intentions of keeping in touch and to stay friends, it gets harder as time goes on and you end up not having much in common anymore.I really miss just talking about silly little things, like you do when you see someone all the time and I really miss girls' nights out!Just thought I'd like to see what you lot think.

I dont actually have many good friends but the few I have are great. its not as bad as it sounds, i have lots of people i know and would probably consider friends but wouldnt trouble them with my problems like i do my close friends. When I left school i lost contact with a lot of people that i promised myself i wouldn't, i regret it now though!

We have to sort a meet out. I'm not sure which thread to post on though...

We are meeting in Marks and Spencers on wednesday in the cafe if you are interested in coming. Hope to see you there

At 12.30.

hello,
yes i saw that and i'll be there!

which marks and spencers? Bristol???

sorry just seen this wasn't sure where it was??? am i intruding????

Of course you arn't intruding anyone is welcome, the more the merrier It's Bath M&S though, are you still able to come?

no sorry not able to get there sob sob!!! maybe another time.

hi bunni,i take it you are in bristol? whereabouts are you, maybe i can give you a lift?

well I hover round the bristol meet ups as there are never any in Weston Super mare. or anywhere else close to me. Thanx for the offer but I'm a bit far out for you really.
