cazlethal Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 FIFO wife, I'm an older lady late 40's and have lived in Perth for 9 months now and need to make some friends. I live in Padbury. Anyone out there who would like to meet up for a coffee and a chat please get in touch. Feeling very homesick and lonely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Sorry to hear that you're homesick, I take my hat off to partners of FIFO - not sure I could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROB T Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I am a married bloke and still in the UK at the mo so probably can't help you there. However, some of the helpful posters here will be able to assist I'm sure. Chin up, she'll be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People sickness is a realityy mrs has had it big time over the years but it wears off ,were not FIFO ,it's hard on family's but you have to weigh up the financial benefit to the social aspect FIFO can set you up in a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlaunay Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 mrs p is always looking for new friends - she works hard and socialises with the family so misses girly mates. Padbury's a bit far though but with all the poms up there surely someone will be along with an offer to meet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazlethal Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sorry I found this tends to revolve around younger families with small children didnt feel it met my needs being the other side of 40 Probably won't fit in either then being late 40's lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedolly Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Oi-you two! I'm your age and I got a wee one, am a late starter. Its not easy being an older mum when a lot of the other mums are in their 20's and now wearing what you wore first time round! Seriously though, these organised meet ups really don't appeal to me, I would rather meet up with people one or two at a time and if it ends up everyone becomes friends then great, if not I will just talk to myself.

cazlethal Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi Angelina, a meet up would be great, things have gotten a bit easier now I'm meeting people, a meet would be great. I go to a coffee morning that is held on the first and third Wednesday of the month at Gloria jeans in Hilary's harbour, I have met a few nice ladies there and will be going next Wednesday.
