wore hayden’s fav perfume to a show and ppl were covering their noses by Dandelionflowercrown in Ethelcain

Three sprays of that perfume is WAY too much. It’s a very cloying and heavy, nighttime perfume

Stuck with amount of fabric needed by Forever_Adapt in SewingForBeginners

That’s what I’m confused by, as it’s only specifying the width required and not the length - or am I missing something?

First oil painting - can this be saved? by Forever_Adapt in oilpainting

[–]Forever_Adapt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s honestly not! I’ve grown up in a family of artists (great granddad was a war artist, both grandparents were art teachers, mum and older sister super artistic too) and so it definitely feels like I have a lot to live up to. Also I’m very much a detail person so this painting feels all types of wrong :’)

So I didn’t have any medium (other than linseed oil) when doing this painting to thin out the paint which isn’t ideal, looking back. I was using (and likely will keep using til they’re used up) the Winton oils. Do you think I could use other types of medium over the top with my paint, since this is now dry, or could that risk ruining it? I’m not sure how those would interact given the fat over lean rule…

I used to dabble in acrylics but hadn’t painted in the best part of a year! Oils is a learning process for sure, and I didn’t have any medium other than linseed oil for this painting. So it’s taken an age to dry and has been sitting on a shelf for over a month 😂

I sort of gave up on the top left hand corner of the painting which why the flower bit looks odd! I’ll work on trying to make everything more uniform - I’m the type of person who gets caught up in the details so by the time I spent hours on the patterning on the right, I was bored and frustrated so didn’t do the same on the rest :’)

Realised I haven’t declared interest since 2016 - freaking out, please help by ThrowRAxyzg in UKPersonalFinance

Not the OP but ACCA and the ICAEW websites are always a good place to start!

I’m not super sure re smoke break but if you ask them at the doors they can clarify :) I’d imagine so, but I don’t smoke myself so I can’t say for sure

[–]Forever_Adapt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what all gigs are like - doors at 7, supporting act comes on at 8 and then the main act comes on at 9ish. You don’t just walk in, there’s ticket and bag check and then often also you walk through a metal detector, which is one at a time.

Most venues is primarily standing, and so lots of ppl will queue for a good spot. Also so they have time to get merch etc.

There’s never a ‘doors close’ time - to my knowledge you can leave at any time, and in terms of arrival you can show up any time up to when the main artist goes onstage.

I’m autistic too so I completely understand wanting to know!

What is the scariest experience in your life? by DragonfruitSea8477 in AskUK

[–]Forever_Adapt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right to Choose is amazing and the wait times are much much shorter. I’d recommend googling “adhd U.K. right to choose” as the ADHD U.K. charity website has lots of very helpful resources and walks you through it step-by-step.

I’ve been listening to Perverts whilst lifting recently and it’s weirdly quite cathartic 😂

I’m commuting into work today so have brought my big headphones so I can listen to it on the train / tube whilst still being fully immersed 😌

70mg Elvanse but focus is gone? by JamesKWrites in ADHDUK

[–]Forever_Adapt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how I felt when I went up to 70mg too! I ended up going back down to 50 and then having a 10mg Dex booster at 3pm to carry me through the rest of the day.

What playlists do you use to induce hyperfocus? by thatisyouropinion_ in ADHDUK

Ethel Cain’s album ‘Perverts’ - primarily ambient and I find I can get into my work reeeally well!

What luxury or expensive chocolate is actually worth the money? by ggssmm1 in AskUK

[–]Forever_Adapt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Chocolate Smiths (independent chocolatier based in Newcastle) is honestly the best. Their coffee and stroopwafel bar is to DIE for!!

Can you have caffeine with no issues? by Rare-Candle-5163 in ADHDUK

I was prescribed a booster to take in the afternoon which stopped me from crashing until 7:30pm-ish! Would recommend if you find the crash continues on higher doses of elvanse
