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!

@Alittleorange congratulations to your son! and to you of course. How did his first day go?

I used to love meditation but I haven't gotten into it much lately. My Dad and I did a good amount of gardening today though which was really nice.

I am definitely not a very good jogger haha so it's all about the walking for me. I need to get back into it more regularly.

Hi @Shaz51 how was your day?

What's Unforgotten? I'm always looking for new shows to watch.

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

@Jynx hello! Thank you for you message.

Today my Dad and I did a fair bit of work in the garden which was nice. We planted some kangaroo paw and just did some tidying up of other plants we have. It was nice. How was your day?

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

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

@magnolia84 oh I love kangaroo paw!! That's the fuzzy one right? I have a calathea that's fuzzy too, such a good stim to have a plant I can pat! lol

My day has been pretty chill so far, just a trip to the shops to grab some dinner stuff for the week, then after my shift tonight I shall be doing my laundry! Oh boy, what an exciting life I lead... 😅

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

@Jynx yes kangaroo paw is the fuzzy one. There are so many new variations nowadays. I've really noticed that so many people are in to natives. It's so lovely. We got 2 mauve ones. Our front yard has so much purple in it but it still looks beautiful.

Laundry is surprisingly therapeutic. There is something about the mundane that can be quite peaceful.

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

@magnolia84 I would love more natives in my garden! I have a thumb that's not quite brown, but it definitely ain't green! I'd probably have to pay a proper landscaping crew to get set up initially so I can plant natives without the whole garden being taken over by the incredibly pervasive grass species coming from the public park next door. And that's just entirely too expensive for me, especially when I'm renting! Future goals for sure tho.

I am totally with you on that one - most of the time! Unfortunately my current residence doesn't have the space for a washing machine, so I have to go elsewhere to do my laundry! Can become a bit of a hassle. But there is definitely some peace to be found in the mundane, I am with you there! Cooking is my fav for getting lost in a task 😊
