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

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.

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.

I met up with my best friend from school the other month that I hadnt seen for 15 years - we found out that she lives literally in the next road to where I live! It was brill to see her again and we spent the whole evening talking about boys that we fancied :-) Karen

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 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 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 :-)
