    nawwww, thanks N2L I guess also because I had an "accidental hiatus" for a bit last year after just having the poo poos with TTC and IVF I ended up losing the drift on what was happening around this place!

    You're awes N2L!

    I think it is because you just don't have the time and energy to cultivate new friendships like when you are younger. If I ever get time to go out I like to either take some time for myself or have fun with the family. It doesn't really interest me with the limited amount of time that I have, to leave the family at home and go out with a girlfriend.

    I think my DH makes a new friend every week. He is the kind of person people are drawn to and with making these new friends he has had the chance to do some amazing things. Good things just seem to happen for him and that was proven yesterday.

    I on the other hand have 4 close friends and I am happy with that. I know I could make room for more if the right person came along but I don't think I put the effort in when I meet someone new, but I have decided to try. I never joined any mothers groups or anything because I did not feel I needed to make new friends. I go and do things with my girls and I am much happier playing on the swings or going down the slide with them then sitting back and watching them do it.

    Because for some reason going up to someone who looks like a decent person and asking if they want to play pirates on the fort with a slide isn't acceptable when you get older. Nor is asking if they fancy skiving a lesson with you. Especially now I'm a teacher.

    I reckon the lack of games makes things harder when you get older.

    If you asked me, I would play

    This is me to a tee. Whenever I have 'free' time I'd much prefer to do something with DH and DD. I think part of the problem is that I am also too happy in my own company, I still wish I had more friends though
