    @Albus_Scope i want to meet new people and make friends. Do you know any friendship groups I can possibly join

    I'm sure we can come up with some ideas for you @Tom90 though I'm hoping our community can become a place of friendship for you.😁

    So what sort of things are you looking for? Do you have any hobbies? That can often be a great place to start. Or asking your local council about coffee mornings is always good.

    @Albus_Scope WhatsApp friendships groups, Facebook groups. I haven’t got many hobbies if I’m honest I got a few. I would like to meet new people and to make friends. I don’t there is many coffee mornings where I live.

    OK @Tom90 I'm afraid I can't advise on any specific groups to join unfortunately as there's going to be so many out there. It's worth contacting your local council to see what's available in your area, or ask on any local facebook groups. They'd be the best places to start.

    I'd be wary of any Whatsapp groups, as you'd be giving people your phone number and they tend not to be very well moderated. Safety first.

    @Albus_Scope I know safely comes first always. Especially when you give out your number. I will ask my local council to see what’s in my local area and maybe facebook groups. This online community is good to be part off and to ask questions etc.

    You up to much today mate?

    I'm glad you're enjoying the community. Everyone's lovely, so don't be scared to join in any conversations. I always recommend the coffee lounge and the How's your day discussion. 😊

    I'll be here working until 6, then hopefully a movie, or a bit of painting tomorrow. Have you got any plans this weekend?
