I think all the suggestions are very good and i would take them of them up because you need adult company too, i stayed at home with my three for a while and whilst you love your kids to bits we need adult stimulation too, try some of the clubs that are on for mothers and toddlers that are free through churches etc: that way you get to have adult conversation for a while and your little one also has company her own age.
People are always looking for volunteers to do things most provide a creche and sometimes it can lead on to working for a wage so try this too.
It is important you get out the house and don't get into a rut it is so easy to do this when you have a little one try and make the effort to changing a few things you will not look back.

She will be able to meet other kids her age and you can meet some moms who are in the same boat as you. Also it is very important that you take some time for yourself. Find something you like to do, like take an art class once a week or a music class. Maybe take up writing or refinishing old furniture. Something that is satisfying to you and doesnt involve your daughter. It is very easy to get stuck in that rut of motherhood, I have and understand where you are coming from. Just make yourself a priority! Good luck...J
