Empress13 had this brilliant idea to start regional threads for all those looking to make new friends, as a part of NY resolutions or otherwise :)
this is the original thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/2816505-Friends?pg=3

I am in London and I would love to make some decent friends this year :)

Hi can I join. Just did a facebook request. I'm 48 and live in East London. Been a lurker for a few months and have found the site fantastic.

ChummyChanga · 03/01/2017 21:50

Hi. I've just sent you a PM Black Opium. I'd like to join tentatively, but shy about meeting new people. So this is my New Year Resolution to make new friends coming to fruition? Eek!

RaskolnikovsGarret · 03/01/2017 21:57

Hello I'd like to join, also North London, will PM you. Thanks

Bant · 03/01/2017 22:14

Hello.

I'm sorry, this is really badly done. No offence OP but now you've got a public link to a dozen or so Facebook profiles, which have pictures of women and their children, and their general locations, accessible for any stranger off the Internet to look at.

PMing is safer.

blackopium · 03/01/2017 22:33

hello bant
thank you for the feedback, much appreciated and well noted. I have changed page settings to secret so link wont work for public and I will ask the post to be removed.
in fact, only couple of ladies insisted on FB page, we have 25 strong whatsapp group chat all day today only from PM messages.

also, no offence, but let me remind you that just over 24 hours ago you wrote: Can I suggest a Facebook or whatsapp group first or something?
consistency is a key Smile

Wish I was in London to join in! Any friends threads in Ireland?

Bant · 03/01/2017 23:42

Secret group is better, black

I'd assumed you'd post the Facebook group via pm rather than openly on a public thread.

Sorry, I just know that people have been stalked and catfished on here, that's all.. Not trying to be annoying.

Good luck and have fun.

RussianDolls · 04/01/2017 00:13

Hello. Would love to join you all. Will PM you. Thanks.

SallyVating · 04/01/2017 01:42

Scrubbydubby · 04/01/2017 12:15

PreciousDymes · 04/01/2017 14:44

Teaspoon74 · 04/01/2017 14:51

I'm in! 1st time mum, 42, SE London.

FruJustFru · 04/01/2017 17:37

If any of you fancy joining a long-standing London Meet-Up group, our next one should be around the end of March (before the Easter holidays).

We usually do a Saturday lunchtime (start); venue is always central London near both a mainline and tube station.

Our thread will probably be started early February'ish.

We are a bunch of 20s-60s - age wise! Some are mothers, some are not!

ninnypoo · 04/01/2017 17:45

I'm not in London YET but hopefully moving down in the summer. Place marking (I'm early 20s though so don't know if you'd want to be friends with a young hooligan)

Teaspoon74 · 04/01/2017 18:27

Whereabouts you moving to Ninnypoo?

ninnypoo · 04/01/2017 19:47

teaspoon I don't know yet Blush boyfriend is in Clapham and we like the area so probably around there unless I end up getting a job an uncommutable distance away!
