We’re back with Episode 6, Season 3 of Two Fat Expats, encouraging you to live a fat expat life.

I’m so sorry for your loss, both of you.
As often happens, I related to much of what you spoke at the SG catchup Kirsti.
I often refer to finding a new friend as girl-dating; think about it. You meet, you chat; you exchange numbers but who calls who first? How much time do you leave between calls? What happens if they don’t remember you? if you suggest catching up for coffee and they say no, does that mean what? No – not interested. No – busy that day.
Say you go and meet up …. then you chat, learning more about each other. You like each other and happily agree to meet up again; she likes you, you’re not so sure (or the other way round) ……..
You enjoy another outing together – when do you introduce partners? Do you even introduce partners? Partners meet – this can make or break a friendship; it’s sometimes best to agree not to hang out as couples but keep it a Monday-Friday girl friendship.
OMG – it’s so fraught!
I’m working on a flow chart to help explain it LOL
PS: London would be an amazing Two Fat Expats Catch Up

A flow chart is definitely needed! I couldn’t agree more. If you could just send it over today – doing a husband catch up tonight and agree is fraught with danger. 😉 Nikki x

Ladies! I am just catching up on all your podcasts as I am new to you. Was listening to this one in the car and crying my eyes out! Having moved 5 times in the last 5 years and about to move again next week I have been in the mindset of life is too crazy and why are we doing this but Kirsty, you reminded me why we do it! We are exploring the world, making memories and so so lucky to have such an amazing life just now! Thanks so helping me to make sense of it all!
