anyone in High Wycombe?

[newmum13]

I moved to High Wycombe less than a year ago and have no friends around (everyone lives in London). I have seen loads of mums around, but feel akward to approach them. Who would want a total stranger starting a conversation out of the blue ?

But I would like to make some friends around here for my own sanity.

My DD is 6 weeks old and is a joy to be around, but she doesn't excell in the art of conversation and she doesn't remember the last time she read a book.

So if you want, give me a shout...

Where abouts have you moved from? I'm in maidenhead, not exactly down the road but not too far away. Huge age gap between our little ones though as my DS is 2yrs 6mths but loves babies!! Have you tried any baby classes? I am relatively new to the area and joined an NCT which was good for making new friends x

I haven't looked at this thread as i lost all hope, hence thelate reply

lived all over london, but decided on high wycombe as DD was coming. it is a much nicer place for her than grotty leyton.

unfortunately as i am off work on mat leave, things are tough. I am used to being around people all the time (teacher ) so the loneliness is taking its toll now. i am trying to join groups, baby classes, but i also feel a bit of an outsider around all the posh mums. weird, no?

anyway, rant over. i'm getting some books over te weekend so i'll have some company.

I dont live in HW, but I do live in one of the surrounding villages. Happy to meet for a coffee and a chat, but my children are 10 and 7. I remember feeling so lonely when we moved here (from Scotland) new baby and didnt know anyone. I can say it gets much much better when you start going to toddler groups and classes and even better when they are at playgroup/school.

Let me know if you fancy meeting up.

Have you been to any baby groups?

Whereabouts in Wycombe are you? There are some v friendly groups that really saved me when my ds was born prem and I was juggling 2 under 2

I can recommend if you like...

Hi. I live in Harrow and have dd 8 weeks (as well as 5 year old). Am also a teacher and feeling a bit lonely now not at school seeing hundreds of paople a day. HW is only half an hour away from me. Let me know if you would like to meet up. All my friends have done th move out of London thing but mostly much too far to see often.

awww, there is life out there, ladies, thank you very much. This has really brightened my day (clouds outside, but who cares, RL people are reaching out ).

alexw would love to meet up, whenever you can, we could even share the going back and forth - will get DP on the bus every once in a whilie, he won't mind.

JaxTellersOldLady same thing, would love to meet new people and have chats, exchange worries or happy times.

chibi I am in loudwater, going to the towncentre is a bit of a treck, we tend to do it about twice a week, just to see people . as for baby groups, I have tried and tried to contact people, ended up going all the way to the town centre on a fri morning as i was told there would be a group and ended up looking silly, no one being there. but hey, life's like that. but feel free to recommend the ones you have tried and tested... will give it a try.

sigh of relief

ok best one i know is the playhouse toddlers in 'the hub', in the union baptist church on easton st (town centre, there is a car park right next to it)

it is thursday mornings from 9:30-11 term time, costs a pound, but you get tea/coffee with that

i don't go anymore as i now work on a thurs but everyone there is v friendly + went out of their way to make me feel welcome, i met loads of new people here, not clique-y at all

don't be put off by the fact it is in a church, there is no actual religious component at all, all sorts of women + children go
