Familyfive Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi, My name is Bec and I live in Atwell with my husband and 3 children aged 4, 2 and 3 months. We've been in Perth for 2.5 years and love it but would really like to make some new friends. We miss having family around a lot and would like to build a good circle of friends, especially locally if possible as its hard to travel too far with 3 small kids who don't like car journeys! I am from Bexhill (near Eastbourne). We'd love to meet up with anyone nearby in a similar situation, especially those with kids who might want to play with ours! :smile2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara1987 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Totally agree it can get abit lonely otherwise , my husband is a building site supervisor he's trade started as a carpenter, I currently work part time at Coles so I don't have to put our daughter in child care, which is lovely to beable to spend lots of time with her. How old are you and your fiancée? I'm 26 and my hubby is 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleymhale Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi Jen, great to hear from some more local poms! Whereabouts in the UK are you from? Thanks for the invite unfortunately we have a friend visiting us on Sunday he's only in Perth for a couple of nights so we can't make it on Sunday. Can you let us know of the next one though?

Ayshe Francis Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi, There are quite a few of us who've met up regularly since October who are all based SOR ranging from Canning Vale to Atwell. The last big meet up was Sunday just gone but if any of you are free Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays are best for me. The meet ups usually take place on a Sunday every 4-6 weeks depending on who is free. If any of you fancy meeting up with me PM me and we'll get the ball rolling. Loads of love and sunshine. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis and Kate Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi, definitely like the sound of that let us know when the next meet up is. Sundays would be best or Tuesday but I'd be kid free? Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ems Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hi Bec I'm not there yet, we plan to leave the uk in september but hope you don't mind me joining this thread because atwell is one of the areas on our short list. Do you mind if I ask.. have you always lived in this suburb? What do you make of it?? Are the schools good - my children are age 7 and 3 so I need to consider primary and high. Any info would be great it's so scary from the uk trying to pick an area to live without having seen them all and knowing where to avoid!! Hope you don't mind me asking this on your post. Thanks :smile2: Hi, My name is Bec and I live in Atwell with my husband and 3 children aged 4, 2 and 3 months.
