[QueenOfTheMadhouse]

I'll apply!!
Single, 3 kids between 5 and 15, in the north west... and the weekends seem so long with just me and the kids! All my friends are spending time with their families or working, it gets lonely!

[debbs77]

Everyone welcome. We should be our own friendship group!

I agree about weekends. Especially in the summer when friends are going on about family bike rides they've all had or BBQs with family. Sucks arse!

I love my babies and I love my time with them. But some company would be good!

[debbs77]

Today is a classic example of needing someone to talk to!

Ex came round today, and I ended up driving off without him after his constant put downs and negative comments. Got my younger two today and now lost for what to do with them as they aren't easy children!!

[pinkpixie83]

Adult conversations would be lovely, I dream of them. I can easily go the whole weekend without.
I'm struggling this weekend too.

[debbs77]

It's hard isn't it. Would be great if we all lived close by!

I'm also envious of those people with family close to them, that think nothing of popping round to see each other!

[pinkpixie83]

My family wouldn't do that even if I lived close!

Where in U.K. are you Debs? I'm also a single mum and my 2 (yes, just 2!) friends are flaky at best. Never bother with me and constantly let me down. I desperately need some proper friends!! X

[Scrubba]

Very newly single, four dc aged 4-10. Love coffee!

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

I hate coffee so I can't apply, but i feel I need a best friend too

[Bubble247]

Hi, can I join in ?
I've got a 15 year old and a 5 year old with Special Needs which really makes friendships difficult to initiate and maintain 😞

[Bubble247]

Forgot to add that I love coffee as it makes the day far more bearable !

[debbs77]

So many of us feeling the same!

I'm down in Hampshire, near Portsmouth xx

[IGotTheMustardOut]

oooo you are near me debbs! I have my dc are 2-11 and my Dh works all weekend

[glitterglitters]

That's where I'm from @debbs77. Definitely something about this area!

[glitterglitters]

P.s I've got a toddle and another one of the way. Work at home (self employed) and dh works insane shifts.

[debbs77]

Yay! Okay, so best way to set something up?

[glitterglitters]

Well. It should involve coffee, cake at least

[debbs77]

How about this.

Thursday 6th April
12.30pm
Meet at Boswells Cafe in Havant town (inside the Meridian centre).

I'll be there then, and hope people will meet me! I'll be sat outside rather than in the cafe and will bring some crochet with me so you can see who I am xxx

[glitterglitters]

Sounds like a plan. I've not been to the meridian centre since I was at college!

[debbs77]

I doubt it's changed!!!

Yay! It's a date!

[MusicToMyEars800]

I need best friend too, I have and OH, but he won't be a problem have 2 dcs aged 7 and 5, love love love coffee and can do most days

[MusicToMyEars800]

NotaSnowflake ditto, I have 1 friend who is lovely but buy most of the time and works a lot... I am on my own most of the time, my OH works most of the time too.

[MusicToMyEars800]

( excuse my language ) for fuck sake, I am in Reading... so that's a no for me then

[chocatoo]

Good luck you lot ..hope you have a great time! Keep us informed! Remember you might need a few 'dates' to get to know each other. Wish I lived closer!

[TheoriginalLEM]
