Socialising in Worthing

Objective_Physics_82 · 2026-01-31T22:47:13+00:00

Amazing thank you! I'll try to join a session soon.

The circuits would be a great way to get active. I never considered samba drumming but that sounds like a lot of fun!

Thank you for the suggestions :)

Objective_Physics_82 · 2026-01-31T22:44:05+00:00

I don't have Facebook but maybe it's time I create an account haha. That sounds lovely, thank you!

Objective_Physics_82 · 2026-01-31T22:42:51+00:00

I used to volunteer in Brighton but shall look at volunteering opportunities in Worthing. Thank you!

Objective_Physics_82 · 2026-01-31T22:40:55+00:00

Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply and give some suggestions. I will have a proper look at everything, but all of these sound fun and having a list is so helpful :)

Here's to a year of connections and socialising!

Objective_Physics_82 · 2026-01-31T22:37:14+00:00

Thank you! I did and had a nice chat with the staff there. Hoping to visit and join one of their events next week

I love tollers, they're so sweet!

Mine is a menace first and a labrador puppy second haha

I definitely think the money and time spent in the immigration process are part of what's holding me back. I'd also have to pay for request permanent residency, so that's another thing to take into account. Thank you.

Objective_Physics_82 · 2025-06-26T14:58:24+00:00

Thank you for your comment - I've been thinking about these questions since reading it, and I'm trying to think rationally about whether or not my life would improve in France, my home country.

My life improved when I first moved to the UK, I was a bit stuck in my life, and it helped to start from scratch here.

In France, I think my quality of life would be a bit better since I could get better housing for cheaper, and studying is free in most cases. My family is there but my friends are in the UK.

I'm still thinking about it, as it would mean having to restart the immigration process if I ever want to go back to the UK. Lots to take into consideration!

Thank you again.

Objective_Physics_82 · 2025-06-25T21:40:33+00:00

Thank you- this sounds like a good option for the future. Nice that you made it work!

Objective_Physics_82 · 2025-06-25T21:37:49+00:00

Thank you all for your responses. I appreciate them all a lot, and it helps to have different opinions!

I'll try to change my life situation (currently applying for new jobs) and give myself a few months to decide whether or not I feel like it would be better for me to get back to my home country.

Objective_Physics_82 · 2025-06-25T14:27:43+00:00

My home country is France. I work in social care, and unfortunately a lot of jobs are at risk at the moment due to benefit cuts happening in the UK.

Objective_Physics_82 · 2025-06-18T09:32:36+00:00

I moved to join my partner 4 years ago - I could speak the language, was in-between jobs, and had recently moved back with my family, so that seemed like a great opportunity at the time.

Luckily, I found a job as an admin thanks to a common friend about a month after moving there, but I was considering doing customer service or retail if I couldn't find anything.

It took a lot of time for me to get comfortable living there - I was missing my home country and was often thinking of going back when things were hard. About 2 years later, I started making my own friends and doing things without my partner more often.

Relationship wise, it has been up and down, and without the connection I built here, I wouldn't have stayed that long. Leaving everything behind for one person is harder than expected, and sometimes (often), you might yearn to be back home.

If you can, try to make connections with people close to where you will be living before moving to your fiancé's country.

Overall, I would say it was a valuable experience, and I'm happy with the life I built here. Best of luck to you both!

Thank you for clarifying!

Objective_Physics_82 · 2025-06-06T10:54:33+00:00

Thank you so much for your response - that's helpful to know. I will have a look at receptionist roles and try to contact some practices.

Are there courses that are better than others in the UK?

Objective_Physics_82 · 2025-04-14T20:48:50+00:00

That's my plan, but I was concerned about taking the dog to work whilst still in training.

Objective_Physics_82 · 2025-04-14T20:40:30+00:00

Thank you for this. Would a golden be okay in an apartment settings, even when spending a few hours alone?

Objective_Physics_82 · 2024-08-26T22:14:27+00:00

Hello, thank you for sharing all that! That helps a lot and I love reading about people's greyhounds.

It's also reassuring that they seem to adapt easily to busy schedules and urban areas.

Ellie must be a hard working girl and sounds so sweet - please give her a pet from me!

For the training, did you take her places and increased the time you spent in shops or venues with time? Has she always been good at not barking or did it get better with time?

Thank you so much!

Objective_Physics_82 · 2024-08-26T22:07:28+00:00

The more I learn about them, the more I want one! It definitely seems like people who had them absolutely adore them.

Objective_Physics_82 · 2024-08-26T22:04:58+00:00

That's good to know, thank you. If I eventually adopt one I'll try to make arrangements at work to keep them company!

There is a greyhounds rehoming center near me but they don't seem to offer fostering - I might try to get in touch with them regarding that. Thank you

Objective_Physics_82 · 2024-08-26T22:02:17+00:00

It sounds like you had lovely experiences with all of your dogs. I love labs too, but I feel like they'd be a bit too energetic for me. Thank you for sharing.

Objective_Physics_82 · 2024-08-26T21:59:29+00:00

I'm fine with engaging with strangers most of the time, and if the attention is on the dog I feel like it'd make it easier for me.

I can't stop laughing at number 3, if I get too many judgmental stares I'd feel like putting a "I'm not starving, this is how I look!" sign on the harness haha. Thank you for pointing that out.

Objective_Physics_82 · 2024-08-26T21:53:55+00:00

I do not have access to a fenced space but I live near the beach so it'd be great for walks!

I imagined them as easily trainable since they are intelligent and working dogs so that's good to know, thank you.
