writes: How do I start talking to my friends again when I havent spoken to them for months?Ive been working so hard over the past few months and only saw my closest friends at the weekends. Then the other day I was going through my phonebook and realised that there were some people that I havent seen or spoken to in months. They are not necessarily best friends but theyre still friends or people that I talk to and I dont want to lose touch with them.How do I start building up friendships again?

emails and texts are a good way to get back inbto swing with people. See if there is an event you knwo they would like (ie concert, play, festival) and invite them to go with you... Or you can always throw a get together (i love throwing murder mystery parties) where you invite 8-10 people. You can buy them at most toy stores or online too. That helped me get in touch with some old friends a few months ago

Easy! Try sending them a harmless text saying that you hope they're good and ask them what they've been up to...
Once you have the conversation going ask them if they want to meet up for a coffee or a drink out somewhere, you know just to catch up and that!
They'll forgive you, I'm sure they'll understand your a busy chick! I was in the same situation and after a coffee and a catch up with the girlies, they were cool with me! xx

rhythmandblues2 is right.
Your friends will understand you've been busy and it's likely they have too, if you've not heard from them either. It's easy to lose touch with people, but wonderful to make the effort.
Ring up, say Hi and go from there. If there's a group of you who know each other maybe organise a 'reunion' of sorts - something to get the ball rolling.
Goodluck,
