I would like to see a bloke that I went to Infants school with that I fancied, I remember us passing notes to each other in classes and him telling me that we would have 2 kids together. I saw him again about 13 years ago and he asked me out via a friend, but I had just started going out with someone and turned him down. I still regret that now :-( Michael Bienz if your out there - call me :-)

I would love to meet up with friends from my time studying nursery nursing at Ipswich Civic College in the early 70`s. Especially Philippa, Glenys and Patricia. We always said we would meet up but never did. I have tried to find them but had no luck. What a shock we would all get 30 years on - maybe it is not such a good idea!! Frances

I went to my school reunion a couple of years ago. It was almost 30 years since I had last seen a lot of my friends. I was nervous before hand - especially about the school bullies. It turned out to be a really great evening. Everyone still looked the same even down to their mannerisms. I still keep in touch with quite a few of the girls who I had lost touch with. I can honestly recommend it to anyone.

I've been back in touch with my best friend from school, plus a few other good friends - corny, but via Friends Reunited! We email and talk on messenger regularly. I've been encouraging my son not to lose touch with friends when they start leaving school next year.

Yes I would, I went to live in a hostel when I was sixteen, I had to leave suddenly and did'nt take names or addresses. I made many friends there, we were all the same age and sad creatures. I had a best friend at junior school who did find me through FR and we met up and recognised each other straight away and that was 45 years later! Jo.

Hi Lisa 2 years ago i made contact with a school friend we hadn't seen each other for 20 years, their were four of us that were best mates, i left Brighton and they all stayed, luckily ilene new where nicki lived and had no idea where di was, the following day in a chemist queue, she heard ok my god, its been years, di was behind her. So the four of us have got together a couple of times. you would have thought we were still teenagers, it was as if we had seen each other yesterday. I have known nicki since i was 5 so 38 years and the others since 11. we have all had families and divorced, and our share of illness, but the lifetime friendship is still there. its the besst thing i ever did, when i plucked up the courage to make contact. lol sandra
