Friends in Sydney city/ CBD/ Surry hills....

**twinkle** · 18-03-2009, 11:46 AM

Hi everyone!
Just wondered if there are any groups or meet ups that go on in the Sydney CBD/ Surry hills or city area. Most of the people seeking friends on this site seem to be in the suburbs, am I the only one in this area seeking friends, I am convinced there must be others that need friends in the area?! ( surely I can't be the only one)?
I am in my early 30's and although enjoy a laugh, a girly chat, giggles and laughs I am not really massively into the pub/club scene much anymore ( although on occasion still dabble)!
I am much more likely to be found pondering art, vintage shopping, sipping lattes or enjoying the sun and outside.
I am currently not working and so have plenty of spare time ( that is both good and bad)
I am child orientated ( That's what I do for work, when at work) so I'm not put off by people who have kids- as some are!
Any one in the same boat, looking for friendly chat and whittling the hours away,
drop a line, I look forward to hearing from you :)
Tara

hi Lizzie,
phew! its not just me then!
I am currently off sick too, I have shingles:(
Why don't we meet for a coffee and chat when we are both feeling a bit less under the weather?
let me know your thoughts,
hope you are feeling better soon,
Tara:)

Hi there, i have been here for two months now. I am 28, enjoy a quieter bar but more so a good coffee house or an afternoon at the markets. I live in Potts Point with my husband but miss girl friends so if you ever meet up it would be nice to come along!

Wow! I am not the only one!
Firstly welcome to sunny Sydney,
I too live with hubby but he is no replacement of girly chats!
We should definitely sort something, I am eager to do it but currently have Shingles so it may need to wait a week or so. Keep in touch and lets sort something soon :)
ciao for now, tara

Sounds good to me, i would love to meet up sometime soon. Just let me know when and where

**MandyJayne** · 21-03-2009, 05:57 AM

Sounds great. I am studying at the moment (at a college in Surry Hills) but generally have wednesday and friday free and time at the weekends.

Hope you both get better soon!

I envy you being in Surry Hills. I was cycling down Bourke St and Crown St today on one of my exploratory jaunts and thought what a wonderful area it was. There was a long queue outside the Bourke St Bakery - must be good bread!

Hi Tara,

My boyfriend just saw your message and thought it was me! I am finding it hard to find friends in Surry Hills, I love chatting, mooching around (I have just spent the afternoon wandering around Glebe market) reading, looking in vintage shops etc.

I live near Taylor Square in Surry hills, if you fancy meeting up for a coffee and a natter let me know.

Hope to hear from you,
Caroline
