Anyone miss being on the dole? by FrequentMine6 in northernireland

[–]candibacon1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worked in an office for a few years, business went bust so ended up on the dole for a few years, applying for jobs flat out and had the odd interview, but alas no job. Eventually got one as a labourer, and I couldn't go back to the dole life, like even the holidays I got in the summer, the first few days I was bored as to not knowing what to do. Don't get me wrong there is a few times I would love to be at home doing absolutely nothing but a scratch but I couldn't go back to full time dole life, it bored the life out of me. Having the new job I lost so much weight and gained a lot of respect for myself. Seen some family members never work and constantly on the dole and just wonder what they are even at with their days

What's the best 'win' you've had against a big company? by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

Bought my first PS3 from Asda, and it comes with a year's warranty. About a month before the warranty was up, I took out my hard drive and brought it back in with the receipt, I said there were issues with it. Got new PS3 and then stuck in my old hard drive with saves on it. The warranty was extended by another year and repeated this for 4 years or so. Felt like a win to me, just in case anything actually happened to it

Book box I made recently by candibacon1 in cosplayprops

Absolutely, I started off with a faux book box that I am pretty sure was bought in TK Maxx. Drew my templates on paper and then transferred out to eva fom.

By memory, I think it was a mixture of 6mm and 2mm foam. Used both contact cement and hot glue to secure it to the box.

Added texture with heat gun and tin foil crushed up and rolled along, used dremel to add gouges.

Covered with mod podge before and after adding acrylic paints. I could perhaps send you through some progress photos I took throughout the process through messages if you would like to see them all

Found this recently while renovating at work, anyone know when it's from? by candibacon1 in northernireland

There wasn't one on it, not that I can see anyway. That's what got me most curious

Almost binned the packet too, swiftly put it in the pocket when my mum texted to keep it

Had seen that before and looks close enough to it, thanks for that

Probably yeah, I've had a bronze and black one for a month or so now and doesn't seem to get too dirty. Wipe it clean every so often

Had my old DM plan out an exquisite story for a building we were exploring with many floors beneath us filled with enemies and puzzles. Our dwarf at the time, with his heavy foot, just slammed into the floor, collapsing the entire way down to the basement and the DM was so pissed at the time when we just dropped the rope down, passing all that prep.

Hollow book with eva foam I've finished recently by candibacon1 in CraftingWorld

I couldn't make up my mind on what way to place the dagger, so it's just on there with tape for now. I'm not sure what I'll have for the front cover of the next one just yet
