Its funny how in my time we did seem to loose touch, we just got on with life.
I stopped going out and socialising when the kids came along, right up until my eldest was around 14 years old (apart from special occasions).
I have a nice small set of friends now whom both my hubby and i enjoy the company of very much and have beeen loyal and true for the last 15 years or more so that more than makes up for it xxx
