Thanks MWG. Unfortunately I have lost all contact with the friends I had before I was married. Most of them still live in the town where I am from but it is 90 miles away from where I have made my home with H and the kids. The friends that I made whilst in the M were mostly friends of Hs (and thier wives) and sadly they took sides with H either immediatley or shortly after he left so that's not an option either.
To be frank I've always been a bit of loner and I know I am not the easiest person to get to know.
I've already taken steps today to set of my rediscovery of myself. I've booked a night at a ceilidh with the social networking group in mid september and I've booked onto a card making class on saturday in October. They will be using a die cut machine that I am very tempted to buy (when I can afford it) so I thought it would be a good excuse to have a play with one before I made my mind up. I also took up the offer of a cup of tea with one of my neighbours even though I should really have stayed home to study! I've been by myself all day again and I hate the silence so thought the conversation would do me good. After I had been there a few mins D13 TMd me asking if she could stay at a friend's house tonight so that me even more glad that I had accepted as that now means I will have the rest of the day completely by myself. I just need to learn some discipline when it comes to studying to make good use of the time
