Morning all, well it’s going to be roasting hot again today. It’s been a quiet week in the so far, probably due to our regulars hosting BBQ’s in this sunshine. We have an Indian food van at the pub later today so we’ll see how that goes. Enjoy...

No not far at all. https://andysmanclub.co.uk/groups/ have a look at this - it has a very good reputation ...

Hi folks. I was contacted by @AndyC yesterday, and he’s asked if we can signpost some people to a podcast he and Paul have discussed on stroke awareness. This is clearly an important topic and it’s always worth being aware of how to lower your...

I am so sorry to hear this and can’t imagine what you are going through right now. As well as the practical stuff, please seek out someone you can talk to whether this is a friend or family member or even the Samaritans - I don’t know where you...

It is hard to even read never mind have it happen .You say that some that have frittered it all away and are still as well off as you ,that sadly is true but what is also true is they will get on with life as you must . I suspect you are correct...

I lasted about 10 mins then had to find shade! When I was younger I used to slap on the Bergasol and bake for hours. I can’t seem to tolerate it these days unless there’s sea or a pool

Im so sorry to hear this. It must be even more of a shock now for you. Being a Civil Servant of many years, and also a Union rep, I can say that your wife should have some sort of pension. If you want to message me and tell me how long she worked...

Crumbs that's a terribly sad story mate. I honestly don't know what to say or where you should turn to for help but safe to say there are others much smarter and more knowledgeable than me on this thread who I'm sure will be able to suggest...

What an absolutely horrible situation for you. You may have already tried this but I thought I’d post it in case.. https://www.gov.uk/find-pension-contact-details

A terrible situation for you, but a couple of things to consider. Is it possible to approach whomever the monies were given or lent to, explaining the situation. Probably a low chance I appreciate but still worth an approach. Did Janet receive...

My experience of antidepressants so far has been an eye opener. Really up and down the first two weeks, with some pretty nasty lows. I do feel more on even keel now. Having said that, I am away doing little so have to be careful of confounder and...

Caring is incredibly hard work. Do you have any practical support to lessen the load? I.e. respite care so that you can get a break? In the first instance I'd talk to your GP as there are support services local to each area for your mental...

The last three years, I’ve suffered immeasurable loss—something I always thought only happened to other people. Grief destroys everything around you: your health, both mental and physical. Over the last three or four months, I’ve started to feel...

I haven't posted in a few days, sadly because things have gone from bad to unimaginably worse for me. I don't think I even want to bring this up on a mainstream thread. I got the death certificate yesterday and saw the bank about Janet's...
