As I said before, I have no family whatsoever apart from Mr C and given that he's 23 years older, i've always known that at some point I will be completely on my own, unless I made the effort to meet people.

That's exactly what i did and my life is a social whirl and filled with people, some of whom over the years have become exceptionally close and others that are either transient or with whom I am less deeply connected. The point is that it didn't just happen. I had to make the effort and to start with because I was the one that was looking for friendships/relationships, I was doing more of the running I suspect in an effort to cement the friendships that looked as if they would come to something. That may sound a slittle calculating, but frankly no-one comes knocking at your door and says do you wnat to be my friend? You gotta try it for yourself. Now there are fabulous forums like these and a whole new chance to meet people, it's even easier.

I don't know where in the North West you are Kaffer, maybe at the t'other end from me but there are loads of people up lancashire way. Try PMing and see if anyone wants to meet up for a coffee. I'd meet you if you are anywhere near my neck of the woods. I'm not as frightening as my straight-talking Chilla persona comes across, apparently!

PSjust in case you do PM, I'm off now till Tues.
