Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Thanks for the welcome 🤗

Bit chilly 🥶 today had to thaw out in a hot shower.

Today is meh over teenagers and a preteen reluctant to lift a finger till I hit my limit.

Over going out and seeing fake old friends.

My gratitude that I'm holding onto is hubby is cooking dinner so I have snuck off to get some alone time. Hopefully the feelings of guilt leave soon bhahaha.

Hi @Junie

welcome to the forums. I thawed out in a shower too. It’s cold here in WA. My hubby cooked for me last night and I had baked potatoes in the new air fryer for lunch. I hope the feelings of guilt leave you soon too. Teenagers were sent to try us all. My kids are all adults now and they do improve over time.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

I should be used to the cold by now although I have lost a lot of weight [edited by moderator] and feeling the cold more in my bones.

Kids will do that for sure that too shall pass.

I get myself lost as I have parents who make it seems like I'm an adult child. Hence stepping away so I can help my kids.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

hey @Daissy it's lovely to e-meet you 😊

how's your Friday going? Got much planned for the weekend?

you're definitely in the right place, look forward to connecting with you 💙

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

hey @Junie i have heard have losing weight can make you more sensitive to the cold! hope you're layered up and staying warm 💖

have you got plans for this weekend?

(p.s. i've edited out the quantity of weight lost from your post from last week as providing specific details such as kgs gained/lost is against our guidelines - totally get that its easy to miss the guidelines as a newbies so don't stress! if you have any questions about it, feel free to reach out 😊)
