Anyone Need A Friend? I'm looking for some

Okay--so I wasn't having any luck meeting mums and kids while grocery shopping--what does it mean again if they have lettuce in the trolley? (just kidding). I was close in meeting a mum on the train and her little girl, but the train ride was too short (5 Min's), and I felt I would have been too desperate asking if she wanted my number (not that I would have known it)...but I did get a few nice pointers out of her. Man I'm started to sound really desperate--maybe it's only having toddler conversation that is making me go mad?

Sooo here goes another way, the Internet! People find mates all the time on the internet--except I already have a mate (husband)..I need more friends instead. I came across a site where they have an area titled, Local Meet-A-Mum, and I was pretty excited that I wasn't alone..but I knew that I did have to make "the first move" and contact a few. Since we are car-less at the moment, I was limited to the town we are in now and really, kids around Nic's age so that he is also entertained. I contacted two mum's--and literally one after another (1 min a part), I received 2 emails saying that they were interested! So tomorrow I am meeting one of them in the morning. We are going to attend a drop-in toddler group at a local nursery school. Even though I'm a bit nervous--I'm excited to meet someone that wants to meet others..so at least we have 2 things in common straight away!
