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!

Not to be a downer, but I am having the very opposite of a good night to be honest

Hey @FreddiesMum sorry to hear that last night was a rough one, how is today going for you so far?

Hello @GM8 @RebelliousAngel how's this Tuesday treating you guys?

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

@RebelliousAngel haha the cheeky side is what keeps life/adulting exciting!

oh i'm a bit jealous of the weather on your side, it's been 16ish degrees in my end. can't say i'm looking forward to the summer humidity tho.

how'd the shopping adventure go, get up to any mischief? 😆

@Ru-bee Hey. My day is going alright, thanks. How about yours?

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

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

@rav3n Hey, it most definitely keeps things exciting 😀.

The summer heat and the humidity is horrible, give me winter any day or the mid 20's that we can tolerate 🤣.

Shopping trip has been postponed until this afternoon, an appointment this morning took a little more out of me than expected so need some time to recharge before taking on more humans 🤣

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

Yeah pretty good so far @RebelliousAngel just made myself lunch and made enough leftovers so I'm set for a few days which, always feels good having that one less thing to have to think about.

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

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

@Ru-bee what'd you make for lunch? Having leftovers for the next couple of days is such a bonus, trying to think of meals every day gets a bit monotonous i reckon 🤣

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

I made taco bowls, pretty much everything I'd put in a taco just with bown rice instead of the actual taco haha, and maybe a bit of extra lettuce.

Oh my gosh, yes, the endlessness of needing to decide what to eat... and then needing to shop and prepare it all yourself! @RebelliousAngel If I was mega rich I often think the first thing I'd be splurging on would be a private chef!

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

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

@Ru-bee that sounds absolutely delicious. I love me some good tacos 😀.

I totally get it! I hate going to the shops and trying to think of what to cook, then madly race around trying to get everything only to get home and realise I've forgotten something 🤣. Yes a private chef, no more cooking, no more trying to decide what's for dinner. Ahhh we can dream can't we 🤣
