Hi Sarah.

Welcome to the forum.

Loneliness is a common theme with us single parents so your far from alone. I tend to work…a lot but that doesn’t suit everyone and tbh when I my boy is visiting his mum getting home to an empty house is awful.

I’m sure many of forum users will have suggestions so keep post here to keep your thread visable.

Have you checked out to see if there’s any local gingerbread groups to you? Here’s a link:

All the best
