Default Feeling lonely and needing a moan!!

Moved to NS four months ago. Gorgeous place but feeling a little isolated at the moment. My husband works all day so needs the car leaving me stuck at home alone with my youngest daughter (sad face for being stuck at home not for being with my daughter!! ). Gone from a working, singing, out riding three times a week, social person to being stuck at home 24/6!! I would like to work from home but not sure where to start or what to do!! I'm about to go stir crazy!!!

Anyone have some advice?

Failing that, emigrate to the UK where the booze is cheaper and everything is closer

Check out the events pages on Craigslist for your area and also Meetup.com. You should be able to find things to go to which will help you build up a small social life if you make the effort.

sometimes all the effort in the world won't help.

Quite a few of those events on Meetup cost $$$$ so really aren't an option

There is a FB page for expats in Nova Scotia and the peeps there do seem to meet up often, I'm sure one or two will be along soon.

I'm liking the pony idea. If I didn't live in a top floor condo I'd be thinking about it

You could buy a monkey instead then. The kids would pay $10 to play with it for 5 minutes !
