I woke up today feeling plop and the day has just gotten worse. I am now sitting here looking at how cheap a flight I can find to go back to the UK for a week or so. Not that I would go back but it makes me feel slightly better!

I left BC a month or so ago and even though I am much happier to be here rather than there, I had started to make friends and now I don't have any again! I know eventually I will find some but it is just getting me down at the moment.

Then OH comes home and starts ranting at me about my ability (or should that be inability!) to keep the house clean. Which has really peed me off as the house is CLEAN AND TIDY but I have two kids who happen to want to play with toys in the living room. Am really mad.:curse:

Awww Amy I think things will change between you and the o/h when you get some buddies, as you'll find your outlook changes and things seem happier (been there seen it done it).

Its such a cliche but you have to get out there and make the effort - just because Canada is great it doesn't mean that people automatically want to be your friend, you have to put yourself in the picture.

Big hug

and your response to hubby should be.....well, dear, if you're not happy with how tidy and clean the house is perhaps you should take over for a week and see how well you do with two kids.....!

Hug and kiss love, things will improve, stiff upper lip and all that!

Oh I know that! I did all that whilst in BC! I am going places and getting myself out there but it all takes time doesn't it? I want an instant friend here now and holding a bottle of wine!

Karma sent, Amy.

cyber hug {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{8}}}}}}}}}}}}}} sorry I can't be there in person with a bottle. Aren't there any BE members in your area that you can do a meetup with? With regard to OH attitude about house ................................ we won't go there.

You should find something really urgent to do on your OH's day off (a spa day should do it). Then when you come home and the house is not immaculate, ask him what he has been doing all day

As for getting to know people. If you are not going to be working, why don't you try doing some volunteering around what the kids do (maybe in the school). It will sure expand your group of friends and you won't be spending all day tidying up.

Lots of hugs and karma sent......

sending lots of hugs, ( I can't do the symbols), we're always here for a chat, karma sent
Terese

know just how you feel
went to see dr yesterday hoping plaster cast would come off arm, only to be told I need CT scan and new cast applied. Have to see consultant next week, so wont be heading back to France any time soon.
If you want to meet up and drown your sorrows, send me a pm - they sell a good SA red at NSLC.

Hope things are on the mend soon.

Right - thats it. You are coming over to me for a coffee and then you can take pictures of my house to show OH and tell him that your house could be SO much worse!!!!

We are only a few minutes away, just give me a ring and we will get together, I think I gave you my number, but I will karma it to you.

I tell you what is a crap day - school is shut, so I have 3 children here and back to back Star Wars all day.........though now we are appeasing the toddler with some Dora! The house is an arse and I have parented from the computer chair today. I am scared to get up in case my fear is true and the chair has grown attached to me!

Cheer up, its going to be fine!

Oh I really hear what your saying... sorry your having a bad day.. ((((HUGS)))) ... And what is it with men sometimes.. :curse: Really hope things improve for you xx

Hi AmyDavid

Been there done that in NS! got the Tee shirt and grey hairs and yet I'm coming back for more!!!!

I've just mentioned on another thread about volunteering work in the Halifax area, it's a great way to get out and meet people, especially while the kids are at school. I did volunteer work for the NS Lung Association while I lived out there, I worked on the reception and did some computer work for them. Made some good friends and it kept my hand in at work.

Things will get better.....summer is just around the corner and summer in NS is glorious.

Chin Up!

Sorry to hear your not a happy bunny, looking on another thread that LffyB

was refering to you will soon be swamped with friends so make the most of the peace and quiet

I have moved around quite a lot and found ive always made friends through my children and at school, I get involved in the school or the gymm i know it takes time to build up proper friendships, failing that what about putting an add in your local paper careful how you word it though,

could put sloppy mother needs drinking pal

only kidding and as for that hubby of yours well better not let him meet mine or they can compare notes, who has the messiest house
