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!

Here's today's newest forumites:

@Jynx renting is so hard for a garden. I lived in apartments for 8 + years until just recently so I had a huge amount of indoor plants. This home doesn't get much indoor light so I've lost a few but most have thrived which is nice.

Sorry to hear you have to go elsewhere for your washing. Do you just sit and read while you wait for it?

What kind of things do you like to cook? I'm thinking of making a cake tomorrow but we will see.

@magnolia84 oh wow, only lost a couple? Haha I have a whole bunch of succulents - the hardiest, most brain-dead-easy to look after plants, and still manage to kill a couple every year 😅

Depends if I go to a friend's house or to the laundromat! I try to ask friends where possible cos it's so expensive haha. So it's kinda nice in a way, to have an excuse to go visit.

I like to cook all sorts! Lately been making lots of stews and soups, had me a pretty delicious kangaroo stew and a thai style curried pumpkin soup recently that came out really good! With the weather warming up though, might be time to break out some pasta salads and stir fries!!

Do you like to cook? Sounds like you enjoy baking!! Did you end up in cake land today?

Hey Magnolia how did the cake work out? What kind was it? Are you good at the decorating part?

First day as expected, induction. And it seems about the same since. I said be patient, I hated starting a new job it always takes time to settle in, he will learn the ways in time.

If you cannot find time or motivation for meditation, then I enjoy just chilling to relaxation music, even SBS Chill on the television. Gardening is good exercise; it is good you can spend time with your dad. if I lived in Newcastle i would be walking around the beach all the time and achieving nothing, maybe best you gave it away for gardening and other things.

Do you enjoy board games or cards? i used to play them with my family all the time, at least as good in entertainment terms as television I thought.

Anyway, hope your week has been good.

@Jynx

Am a little rundown as having been fill in delivery driver for the bakery I work at part time this week, 2:30 am start. Next week I go back to my usual part-time nightshift.

Elsewise, gearing up for the cricket season, much better than football.

Great to see you @Alittleorange ,

Rest up my dear. Sounds like things have been busy for you.

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

@Jynx I love succulents! I went to a succulent fair recently and some of them were absolutely beautiful and so unusual.

Your meals sound absolutely delicious. I didn't get a chance to bake the cake unfortunately. Maybe tomorrow.

How was your day?

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

@Oaktree sadly I didn't get around to making the cake. Maybe tomorrow. I'm terrible at decorating! Just icing and 100s and 1000s for me haha. How about yourself?

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

@Alittleorange I'm pleased everything is going well for your son.

I'm heading in to Newcastle tomorrow so will have a nice walk along the beach with my dog. I'm looking forward to it.

I love board/card games. What's your favourite? I enjoy triominoes, monopoly deal and uno.
