[The PM isn't in my sent items anyway so if I actually wrote anything else it can't have been worth remembering

It won't have been worth reading anyways. Nothing she says is worth listening to either
Only joking mate. Love you really.

I think it's sweet she refers to it as a mind!!
Tiggs, not sure what happened to the message, wasn't very important but just saying we used All State (8371 1277) and they were really good, very upfront about what was worth paying for and what wasn't. The PM isn't in my sent items anyway so if I actually wrote anything else it can't have been worth remembering

Not sure, I just did the link from your name top left. I know there have been some problems with the site so maybe it's lost in techno-space. Think I might have sent you my e-mail address too but I'm not putting that on here, I'll maybe just send that again as a PM and see if it reaches you.

Re: How to Make Friends?
I've been in Adelaide since August having moved here from London. My husban d has work colleagues but I work from home and I'm desperately lonely, missing my social life. Everyone in Adelaide seems to have been born here, married someone they went to school then settled in the suburbs to watch Australian Idol.
There must be intelligent, witty, 30 somethings somewhere in this town, but how do I meet them? Those with children seem to have no time and not much interest in making new friends. I've tried voluntary work of various sorts and everyone is over 65, I've also tried lots of activities (I go to three different sports clubs a week), but everyone is younger than me there and while friendly enough no-one seems to want to go for a drink afterwards when I've suggested it.
What has worked for other people? I'm 34 and more into going to the theatre then out to the pub.
All suggestions gratefully received!

Re: How to Make Friends?
Thanks for your message. Things have got better since I posted this, I would recommend meeting people from this forum as they are in a similar boat and that is a big help. Getting a job has also been very useful as has joining a book club. I'd say that I still miss my London friends and London level of social life alot but Adelaide is not as lonely as it was. Do drop me a line when you get here and good luck with the move.
