Two days ago I went into our General store for Bread, as I hadn't anything in the house really to eat, as husband is away alot with our only car, so have run short.

Anyway I waited until later in the early evening before going as is quieter than during the rush hour, for just a general chat and buy bread. Too once again to be made to feel very much on the outer.

Right in front of me the store keeper asked 2 others would they like a coffee. I was not asked nor had anyone even bothered to look my way. Felt so horrid! and alone. If I had of been asked I would have said maybe next time (as I am busy with puppies and I wouldn't stay away too long) but they don't know this. Felt once again I am being excluded.

No one here knows really anything about me. All though when we first arrived I did try to get to know others abit more than just saying Hi.

Asked people over for a coffee when they had some free time that sort of thing, after seeing them at the mobile Library, Post Office or at the General Store. Never to see them unless I bump into them on the Library van or at the other places.

Was asked to a Linen Party once but was bascially ignored for the night. I felt so left out of things. I reaslised I was only there to make up the numbers for the hostess to get something and for me to spend my hard earnt cash, so they could also get a discount.

I feel if I had meet the critria of the local people then things might be different.

a) Don't have babies or school age children in the area, mine are adults living their own lives.

b) don't play sport and even if I wanted too I can't due to my injuries and I won't do all the running around on the side lines. Been there and done that with No Thanks from other members.

c)Don't always work but when I do I am too tired to even get out of the car. Have given up working as I can't both mentally & physcially anymore.

d) Have dogs other people see as ???? so won't speak too you.

e) Have expressed my interest in Quilting to many as the women here do do that and car pool to other country towns to follow their hobby and spend time with others. Yet not one person has offered to take me along.

OMG! now I feel really depressed

Sorry you're feeling so alone. Know that you have a place here. I care.
