Morning lads, hope we all doing well. Im going to set up a group call for friday night 8pm. Be great if you could all get on. Get a load of shit of our chests, have a bit of a laugh and put world to rights. Its good to Talk!!! Let me know if the time and dates good for you all. Hope you all have a great day. Anthony.

Evening gents, well…….. today has been a bit of a shitter, I’ve worked since I was 15 and for the last 3 years I’ve worked a full time job and ran my own business, I had invasive surgery in April this year for bilateral Inguinal hernias (2 massive lumps in my groin) and because of the surgery and complications am still in recovery……I’m still employed and have my business but because I’m unable to work, today I’ve had to do something I’ve never done in 47 years…….I've had to claim benefits 🤦🏻‍♂️, so now I’m starting to stress about money, I’ve paid into the system for years and what they give you is a slap in the face 😔, have any of you guys experienced or are you experiencing anything similar? I feel quite frustrated and emasculated I’m unable to work at the minute, so want to know how you coped??

I´m feeling flat as a fart today, and I know I´m not the only one. When I´m feeling a bit shit I constantly have to remind myself that I don't need to have my whole life sorted this week. You don't need some massive transformation. Just do a few things that make you feel like you're back in control. Get outside. Move your body. Eat something decent. Sort one thing you've been putting off. And if your head's all over the place, talk to someone. That's what this place is for. No pretending we've got it all figured out. No bullshit. Just a bunch of blokes trying to get ourselves back on track. What's one thing you're going to do for yourself this week? Doesn't have to be massive. Drop it below. 👊🏻 P.S...I am going to arrange another group call this week. Anyone wanting to get on it and just talk things out and get to know each other a bit, let me know what days and times would be good for you and I will try and arrange a time to suit everyone. Cheers lads, Hope you all have a good day!

Hello lads, it’s great to be here with likeminded blokes, I’m 47 from Newcastle upon Tyne, I’ve worked since I was 14 and literally broken my body doing so, back surgeries, hernia surgeries, snapped fingers and on and on 🤷🏻‍♂️😂. I look forward to learning from you all and hopefully helping a few of you along the way……..looking forward to change in my life 👍🏻
