Since my Mum died we don't see a lot of each another and living miles away, so we had thought it makes sense to forget gifts, except for the kids.
So i know this is a sad post and i can relate to it, but Kiwi you did make me laugh.
Trouble is if i posted that on my FB it would be weeks before it was noticed.

Its the same here. Its very sad. I am considering setting up some sort of lonliness/lacking in social confidence type/self help book reading support group - not sure entirely of the details but we will see.

lol no thanks

My group idea was more along the lines of a book club with an emphasis on self help type books. Or a dealing with social anxiety support group. I'm not sure. Its mainly selfish and I do find that most people are "worse" than me and so unlikely to "help" my progress.

I've been thinking about joining my local book club but feel a bit bad as i'm not a big reader and only really got into it recently. i guess thats part of the point though to get people into reading more.

yes and reading stuff that you wouldnt normally consider. This is the link for finding groups in your area; I sent some emails on Wednesday and so far I had no response ;(
