Prieska Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi there New and lonelyI'm sorry I'm not from Perth. We are in Tasmania, Launceston. Only a week here now. I just wanted to say welcome to the forum and keep your chin up. I'm sure you will get lots of replies from people already in Perth and lots of invites for coffee and a visit. Don't despair, I know it's difficult especially if you are at home with a little one. Come on, all you lovely people from Perth, lend this lady an ear or a welcome.Good luck to you. You can always chat on the forum if you like. All the best.Regards, ILze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first child and i am still learning.Hope to stay in contact.Greetings Anje Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueB Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Okay this is not FAIR!!!!!!!!!!! What about a Support Web Site for the teenagers who give Mum's a hard time for us to also offload grievances.I checked quickly, and if you scroll down far enough there is a section 'Parents with older kids" which I guess means teenagers?

bienkie Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hi thereI am so proud of my fellow forumites!!!! The way you are responding to Anje's request for friendship is amazing!!!!

Linky Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi AnjeWe moved to Sydney only 5 months ago and I know how lonely it gets! I'm very close to my family and we have loads of friends in SA, to suddenly have just your hubby (I don't have kids yet ) is a huge adjustment!We are now relocating to Perth (next week Tuesday is our flight out ) so I'll be making friends from scratch AGAIN! My hubby is starting work on Monday the 21st and I'll start job hunting soon after we arrive so will be a bit more flexible during the day. Would love to get together for a coffee and a chat!Also planning to go to the coffee morning - think there is one next week, on the 16th!Keep wellLinky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
