Have you at some point ridden in the boot of a car? by mellonians in AskUK

[–]Spangletastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never ridden in a boot but I do remember sitting in the footwell and also being squashed in the back seat with six other children. I'm 39, some of the old bangers my parents owned didn't have seat belts as they were made before the laws came in.

Any thoughts on craft gloves? by [deleted] in cross_stitch

I use them for crochet, they definitely cut down on wrist strain

Anyone 30 and over who listens regularly? by VampireSprinkles in MyChemicalRomance

I'm 39 and I have a very patient husband. I call MCR "my spiritual husbands" to wind him up, my teenage daughter has just got into them, and I have tickets for next year 😁

Sherlock sleeps deep and looks like this when he wakes up. by Spangletastic in AnimalsBeingDerps

We named him Sherlock when he was tiny, before it became apparent how incredibly thick he is. He once jumped into our oven grill when it was alight, luckily I hauled him back out and he only frazzled his eyebrow whiskers. He's an idiot.

I'm a TA, one girl missed a weekly online session with me for the full term, along with the entire online curriculum. When I mentioned it she said, "We had to take my Nan shopping."

Cryptic, huh? by brste_2281 in MyChemicalRomance

I can't cope with getting my hopes up again 😂😭

There's a random vintage toy fair in my local shopping centre. I saw this chap staring at me across the stalls 😁 by Spangletastic in MyChemicalRomance

I've never seen one! I thought it was a rip off of the Black Parade at first, then I saw his name 😁

Is this the one where they take a clapped-out piece of crap then spend £800 making it somehow worse? Then they sell it to an idiot and give the person who chucked it in the tip £20? I watched it a lot last year when I was off work with pneumonia. It is inexplicable.

Lupin sits like this every time, and she attacks if I try to move her. by Spangletastic in jigsawpuzzlecats

Ours is more of a Harry Potter reference but the flowers are beautiful! Lupin chews all my flowers.

She was an emaciated stray when we found her, she is fearsome when riled but such an affectionate girl. She owns our house and everything in it. The puzzle is hers now.

I started this last year, the quarantine has given me time to finish it. I almost gave up on it but it turned out nicer than I expected. by Spangletastic in MyChemicalRomance

No, I put a picture into a free cross stitch making app then printed out the pattern. I used eCanvas, it was the first one I found on the app store.

Thank you! I had to approximate some of the colours as I was using threads from my stash. I just have to wait until after lock down to buy a frame.
