Default Friends Needed!!!

Hi all,

I know there have been tonnes of threads on here with the same problem, but still....

Im 24 years old moved over here 2 months ago to Secret Harbour. Anyway my OH is now working and I'm now at home with our 2 kids ( Ollie nearly 3 and Isla 1)

Although I was a stay at home mum in England I really don't know the first place to start in meeting people my age with or without kids here. I moved in England and had to meet people then, but I was working so the friends I did make were mostly through my job or my OH.

I have joined the gym and although the kids are in the creche and hopefully making little friends its much harder for me to do that when Im puffing along on a treadie!

I am a fun loving young at heart girl, and still enjoy having a night out and glamming up after a week with the kids!

So any ideas.....?

Hi ukleelou

Basically in the same boat as you we have now been here for 2 years luckily have family here but it is not the same as having friends. How are you enjoying it so far? Me and the OH are in Wannanup but are currently in the process of moving very soon.

Mandurah is a great place and it would help if could make a few more friends.

Hi Leelou

We are in Mandurah, Wannanup is just down past falcon before the dawesville bridge, in port Bouvard. We are looking to move closer to town hopefully somewhere with a pool. Maybe Halls head or somewhere like that. Yeah it is still as good 2 years on as it was when we arrived. I agree when you first touch down there is so much to organise no matter how long you have been preparing for this it isn't the same till you touch down on aussie soil.

So what does your OH do? Anyways Sunday afternoon better go get my fix of eastenders.

Hi Lovingaus

We down in Secret Harbour and we are 32 and 31, no kids either. We were just down in Mandurah last weekend on the foreshore in the sun, it's only 15 mins from us so we are more than happy to come down and meet up with peops.
