FPL banter, chat & league trash talk
Today marks day 12 in a row on my new medication which has really helped me the last 2 weeks as a month ago i was so low and struggling
25 years in the job today. Made some great friends, married the woman I love and had some great times. Also lost a lot of great friends, had some really shit times and probably wouldn’t start it all again from today because of the politics.
The football might be over for England… but we’re still here. ❤️ For a few weeks, football gave us something to look forward to. A reason to message our mates. To meet at the pub. To celebrate. To moan. To feel part of something. Now the final whistle has gone, don’t let those conversations stop. If you’re feeling a bit flat, if life feels quieter now, or if you just fancy getting out of the house, come and join us. Whether it’s a walk, a social night, a coffee, the podcast, or chatting through the app, there’s always a place for you. No pressure. No expectation. Just good people looking out for each other. Football ends. Community doesn’t. ⚽💙
Hi so as I’m taking my digital detox journey I’ve decided to be with back and forth and just the app instead of WhatsApp as social media has been stressing me out recently and even text emails etc I’ve done this to make my mental health better and this app feels like a safe place
Got some big changes coming up both at work and with the podcast. Looking forward to them both though! Anyone else got stuff in the pipeline and how are you feeling about it?
The Journey section is now live. Get those points adding up and encourage others to do the same
Today is the day I feel blessed and ready to be part of back and forth men's mental health to fight back anxiety and feel better as a person I've been struggling for so long but not anymore I'm ready to accept help and this week has been a real eye opener for me especially since Sunday I'm ready to get back out there and get my life back on track and socialise
We have booked the camping trip. 19th June. Full details in our WhatsApp group
New blokes. Welcome to all our new app users, great to have you on board
Great weekend, with a really great event in the bag at the Round Table Easter Egg Hunt. Thank you to all of you who helped out and made it what it was.
Rough day today. Both me and the daughter fainted, triggering an Ambo call and fire to make sure there was no carbon monoxide poisoning. Thankfully no leaks and both of us are ok now, but a scary few hours for the wife
Quick check-in for today. How’s your head right now? 👍 Getting through 👌 Doing alright 👊 Feeling strong 💬 Need to talk
What are you doing daily to keep yourself healthy mentally and physically? What's your routines? Secret sauce? Something that everyone needs?
Work stress seems to be a big one lately. Anyone feeling it this week?
I started some years ago "buying back my time" a percentage of my wage goes into an investment I like the term "fuck you money" even 1h of your wage per month at the end of the year gives you one day of space from reliance and brings you back in control. One part of things Im now in control of 😁
What are you currently doing to best mess up 85year old you? If you were the main character of a film what are the audience currently shouting at the screen?
What’s taken most of your energy this week?
Been one of those days where my head hasn’t switched off. Anyone else had that lately?
Ideas for meet ups? Post here any ideas you guys have for get together and let’s increase our social interactions
Knackered after a hard week at work and now the Mrs has got a nasty cold so I know I'll be ill next week, yay... Still, I'm happy I found this group and hope I can contribute something to help others - maybe even set up a Stoke subgroup one day.
Testing having a look round, looking nice and straightforward so far and seems to be working ok for me
What a pleasure it is to provide feedback to a responsive dev, the app is coming on constantly! Keep up the good work, Dan 👏
Testing profile settings update

How is everyone doing tonight?
Been to the gym this morning and taken the dogs out for a walk
Listened to this today found it useful. Different perspectives and a few things I'd already been thinking about like alcohol usage. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1YuJBWn7IWMCb32MyVuyQ8?si=7Q10XaCVQaO-IWD6f6RujA&t=2998&pi=1n9_0Zm2RpKRt
One month of regular gyming.
Got the app to a useable place. Now the real testing begins
