If you or your kids like Fish and Chips you could try Swish n Chips. They double as a small fresh seafood seller as well. It's near Dome. They're quite cheap and have specials Monday to Thursday. I can understand if your kids like the fried fish and chip type thing but you don't - but not to worry, tuesday is teriyaki tuesdays. (ie, teriyaki fish specials on tuesdays). They also do Thai fish and chilli mussels and stuff too.

thanks

Hi there

Just wanted to say a huge thankyou. My family always say hang in there but it's so good to get reassurance from someone out there whos been there! It was really kind of you to do that for a stranger and has perked me up. I'm not a miserable person quite the opposite just finding this tougher and lonlier than i thought. I'm hopeless without friends i've always been v sociable.

Anyway thanks for taking the time. Take care Ps the cafe's are fab here!

I'm not a mum but an aunt (and Minti Admin/Support). I live a couple of suburbs away from Mt Lawley. Mt Lawley's a great place - if you like food! And if you like to hire out movies at the video/dvd shop, check out Planet Video.

I know there is a Perth Parents group on Minti - I'm not a member myself, but it may be interesting for you to join? See http://www.minti.com/groups/315/Perths-Playdate-Group/ and http://www.minti.com/groups/482/Perth-Western-Australia/

Hi cariad - I moved to Perth from the UK about 8 years ago and understand how tough it can be when new to a place. Currently live in West Swan but spend lots of social time in Mount Lawley ()cafes, restaurants, etc). All I can say is it gets easier with time and gradually it will come good.

Hi I am from Perth too, Bentley to be exact and look after 3 year old twins in Maddington. I have been taking them to a playgroup once a week for the past year now and am only just getting to know the mother's there now. They have actually started to invite me to a few of there parties and so on now. Sometimes it takes a while to settle in and get to know people. Maybe you haven't clicked with anyone yet but if you find someone you think you like you could always offer a coffee on another day. Hope you have a great time here too on minti.

Hiya, have been here in perth for nearly four years now. I have three kids, two 8yr olds and the newest one is 9 months old.

I am about 15 minutes from the city, so not far from you.

I used to work and am a home chick too. would LOVE some adult conversation. FYI I tried to join the perth group here on minti and had no reply after 5 days so i gave up. Maybe you will have more luck.
