Suregena big hugs to you xx
You are obviously a very strong woman to be able to cope with all that, I bet you can't wait for Christmas to see all your family.
I think it's very hard to make true friends, have you not really met people through work or your sons nursery school? Or is it just the case that you just don't connect with them? xx
Not at all. But I have a hard time connecting to just anyone. I don't make good friends very easily. I spend most of my time feeling awkward and uncomfortable.Quote:

I just have a hard time connecting. It can be even more awkward feeling like the odd one out all of the time. I've never had an easy time making friends growing up. I kind of just have one best friend who I have had since I was seven and my family, to be honest. I have other friends in the US, though, too, I made through school. But I've always been someone that never hung out in big crowds.
I'm feeling that "I overate" feeling again tonight... but I only had cereal for dinner (we have like... no food... and I used the good stuff for my son's dinner! This month is going to be hard...)
I've put an apple and dry cereal by my bedside in case... and a bucket! Because if I feel this feeling now, what will I feel like after a night of sleeping and not eating? Oh dear! Still, could be good signs to feel that way!
Yay another boy swayer in here, that makes 2 of us :) I didn't have the best sway because it was taking so long to concieve, i droped a lot of my sway things and was actually in the process of losing some of the weight i put on because of the HE diet. We do hope it is a boy but will be happy with another girl too.Quote:

Luckily my dreams are not premonitions!
I'm the same way, that's why I'm scared to move. I do have a lot of good friends here but my husband says we are all weird :XQuote:

Its painful when i have to mingle...when we have a bbq or similar to attend, i literally dread and few it for days before! I am just no good at making small talk at all....and i just always feel so shy! I wish i could snap out of it and be like other people. Lucky for me, DH is a homebody so is quiet happy not socialising!Quote:

Least you have us here on the net!!
My DH is from the Uk as well - he came to australia 16yrs ago with work. We contemplated moving there....we actually almost did it, sold up here in australia, sent out stuff over on a cargo ship, but after a month realised that we (mainly me) weren't happy, and that we are better off economically in Australia....so back we came! I do love the UK, visiting it....Living there just wasn't for us, the lifestyle we wanted (farm style living without being too rural, whilst being comfortable financially) was much more achievable here in Australia....but DH's family is in the UK, and thats were he grew up so that pull was always there...
Do you like australia?
I bailed out of a bday party today for a neighbors kid we barely know (I dont even think they know my name) know, DH had to take ds2 somewhere so I was the one that would have had to
Go. I Really didn't feel like randomly socializing with people i dont know today ...
I've grown up in Australia, so its home to me :) My family is originally from Sweden, i was 5 when we came out here. I just really can't imagine living anywhere else.Quote:
