surhythms Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hi Folks I havent posted on here in a long long time but basically we have now been in Perth 1 year. We live NOR 15km outside of the city. We are from Ireland and I am 36 and my hubby is 37. We have a 15 yr old daughter and are really enjoying our time here in Perth. In the past year I have done loads of things to try and meet new people - done book clubs, wine tours, high teas and tried to really get involved with people. Our neighbours each side of us are really nice but they keep themselves to themselves and because we all work we dont socialise much with each other. The office that I work in has a bunch of really nice people ( a real mix of Irish English Australian South African and Malayasian. We all work well together but there is not much sociliasing or meet ups at weekends (in fairness I dont think people want to be working and socialising with each other). I have met a couple of new friends and by saying that I mean 2 people in the last year that I would call my friends - you know those people you would call if something went wrong. Over the last year I have met people that I like and people that arent my cuppa tea and that ok. Because I work full time and dont have small kids I find it a little harder to meet people - anyone elseI know either doesnt work or they work part time and have loads of free time during the week to socialise with other mothers and go on play dates etc. Some of these happen at the weekend but not having small kids stops me from doing this type of stuff because I think we would stick out like a sore thumb. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience or is it just me ?? Cheers Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
