Not particuarly my cup of tea no, lol, but i do take him now every wed. I still find it tricky - I am not in any way shy, I can talk to anyone, I just can't be.....bothered. Gosh that sounds really dreadful.
The long and short of it is, when i was 19 I moved to Devon with then Partner. had a shitty time with him for years (long story) then finally left him, but stayed down there. had a fabulous fabulous job, then all of a sudden started missing my family incredibly, so made the very difficult decision to come back and left my lovely job and all my lovely friends. Cue HUGE culture shock!! Got a job straight away up here and hated it, then 3 years ago met my wonderful DH whom I have just clicked with. We got married and had James and i love them both to pieces, DH is lovely and we are perfectly matched (aprt from he is very clever lol) but I now live the other side of the city and that's it. DH doesn't know anyone at all, he isn't from round here. We both hate it.
I know what you mean about not wanting to leave the house, even though I feel better when I am out...everything in theory eh?? I have started chatting to a couple of people at toddler group - but it is a new group so it is early days but 5 mins walk away which is fab. Other than that it is shitty here. I don't drive either and don't want to - scared stiff of the bloody road, but that is another story!! That is something else I have noticed - being frightened (right word?) of things that have never bothered me before, that is very odd and I wonder if it is all connected somehow.
In your own time with Nipper.
