Sorry it's been a down day. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better one. Are you in the office tomorrow? It may help to be around people if you're feeling a bit low.

Now, again on this GAL front, I hear a defeatist tone....so I'm here with more 'cheap or free, and suitable for 40 somethings GAL.'

Have a look at what your local volunteer bureau is seeking
What about a book group? I think there's a site where you can search for them
Set up your own group on meetups - orange wednesday group or similar
Visit older people and chat with them in residential home (I love this when Mum is in respite.)
Invite some colleagues out to the pub
Have a look at what Gingerbread are doing locally
Have a look at library events locally
Maybe a cookery class at the local college
Did you google local clubs and societies? Often the local council has a page on these...

There we are....maybe something in there might be of some use :-)
