Help, bored and lonely and selfish

DH keeps telling me I should count my blessings and I know I should. I have a nice home and a lovely 15 year old ds and a 15 month old dd. I am just SO BORED. I'm a SAHM but have always worked full time prior to dd. I don't know any other mums in the area and don't have anything to do during the day. DH works all the time and has to go to bed at 8pm so evenings are even more dull. I haven't got any family to visit or anything like that so I am always on my own. It's Friday night and DH is in bed again. It might as well be Monday night as every day is the same. I feel selfish for moaning and know a lot of people have real problems but I am so miserable and drinking too much out of boredom. Any ideas to make life a little bit more fun???

Yes, mumsnet is great. Just talking about things makes you feel better doesn't it? and if it wasn't for you lot I would have gone to bed feeling miserable and now I feel positive. Life's what you make it and I've been letting it pass by again! I sometimes need a bit of kick to get going but hopefully I can turn things around and enjoy life again

have replied to your other message as i live in Blackpool. Which tumble tots are your going to?

My daughter goes to the one in Bispham. She goes with her dad now although I used to love taking her. As for playgroups I have been to loads, although as she is now at nursery for two afternoons we only go to one togther although I run two others. Like all social situations they can be cliquey but they need not be and there is bound to be someone there who would love a new face to talk to.

I have only been here for just over two years so I know what it feels like to feel lonely and bored, it took me a while to settle.
