Hi All
Myself and my fiancee have moved to a new county about 6 months ago. We were living and working in Dublin, and I got on very well with everyone I work with. But we've bought a house now and my fiancee is working in a new job and i'm working from home.
I do miss my family quite a bit, even though I go home every month or two to see them. I also miss my friends and work friends quite a bit (now having said that in the last while before we moved, it was more difficult to meet up with them as everyone had their own stuff going on).
I really love our new house and the area we live in, and I have to say I really enjoy working from home, but i'm just afraid i'm not going to make any new friends in my new location. Obviously cos i'm working from home, its more difficult to make more contacts.
I would try to get out and do more things, but its been so busy recently with the wedding plans, its hard to do everything. I was doing a 10 week music class and a 10 week dance class, but didnt manage to make any friends.
When I was younger and in college, I had loads of friends and would be out every weekend with them, I'd always have a good laugh with people and seemed to be more out going than I am now. Is it just a case that as we get older, that we lose touch of this kind of thing anyway???
Would love some feedback on this.....
Thanks a million everyone.
