Nigel No-Mates Holds a Pity Party


Today I was feeling sad :(
Sad and lonely.
I asked myself: Where are all my friends?
My friends are busy.
They have lives.
They have jobs.
They have families.
And here I am all alone,
no-one to hang out with.
Nigel No-Mates.
Woe is Me.

I heard somewhere that Retail Therapy can help with feelings of sadness, so I took myself to the local Mall and put my toddler in the shoppers Creche. Funny, two of my friends' kids are in there! No sign of the friends though.

Retail therapy??? HUH! It doesn't work for me. Sure I got some end-of-season bargains for the kids at Farmers. But here's a word of advice: Don't go clothes shopping when you are feeling lousy. You will only end up adding "nothing fits me" to your list of woes.


{Before you judge me too harshly for my self-pity and woe-is-me-ness can I just point out that my mum was taken into hospital yesterday and my husband is away skiing and I've had the flu for two weeks and, well, life is tough sometimes}

Righto, so after this pity-fest, feeling like a slug, I came to the conclusion that what I need is the company of actual human beings.

Maybe make some new friends since my current friends are a bit, er, unavailable.


So I have decided to hold a Tea Party.

Invite you all to come. Open up my home, bake you some scones, brew a pot of tea. Or coffee.
I am not talking "online" here, people.
I am inviting any real-life humans who live within driving distance of my house to come for morning tea. Hang out with me For Real. Drink Real tea. Eat Real Scones.

Anyone?
Any Auckland bloggers out there want to hook up? Any blog lurkers readers want to come out of the woodwork and come meet me? Hang out? Cheer me up?


I promise it won't be a Pity Party. I will be cheerful, hospitable, smiling and friendly. I will bring my A-Game.

You can drag along your little people, by all means. I have toys, I have a fully fenced yard. I have a Scrag who would love to make new friends too.

I am serious. You think I am joking??
Thursday Morning. 10am.
My House.

A Real Live Human or two for Tea. That would be lovely.
Any takers??


Leave me a comment accepting my invite or email me greatfun4kids@live.com
I will email you my address, when I hear from you.

I would love to meet you in person. Here's Hoping.
