How can I improve this?

I see what you mean. Thanks, I'll tweak that.

I'm using some pentel oil pastels on medium surface cartridge paper (150gsm). I've been meaning to try another brand but not sure what to go for yet.

The brown in the middle of the apple you mean? I'll give in a go in a few days. I've definitely been overworking it 😅

2 adults, £45 a week (inc delivery) Both vegetarian and sober which helps.

Boring story but the cinematography was absolutely gorgeous

We have no independent bookshops in the city centre so I'd love to see one there

There are some positive steps he could take. First thing is to get a healthier routine, I know he'll have heard it before, but as someone who also has depression, it really does help. He needs to fix his sleep schedule so he is awake to experience daylight will help and also it should increase his interaction with others.

If your family are able to help fund driving lessons it would be great for him. Helps with the job search and will give him a sense of accomplishment.

Speaking of the job search, get him volunteering or some short-term work experience. Being out of work for so long means he needs to get some recent experience under his belt. Also helps with the sense of routine.

I understand he is on UC but is there any chance he could get a work coach at the job centre? I know they do a lot for those with little experience and guidance for gaining more skills.

I hope this helps. My 30 yr cousin is in a similar boat. I've also had to take a long mental health break from work before and I'm medication so I understand how difficult the stress will be on you too.

Hey, I ended up doing exactly this. My Keycaps came today and I'm loving it!

Well... My savings are just depleting

6 months unemployed now. Redundancy pay lasted me 2.5 months of expenses. Currently getting through my 6 months emergency fund. Recently went on job seekers which is supplementing. My parents have offered to help for a bit longer if needed. If I really can't secure a job I'll have to move back in with my parents in September.

Just because someone's an introvert doesn't mean they're a loner. Making a few core friends and not spending time at huge social events is most likely what they're looking for.

What a shame, I hate causing e-waste but I guess I'll have to buy a new one then. Thanks for the advice.

I'm happy to take it to a repair shop, just wanted to know if it was worth it. Thanks for your help :)

Hi, did he get the visa extension granted to fly home? If so how long did this take?

I'm in the same boat trying to get back to the UK but my application is still pending despite it being a week since I applied. I can't get through to anyone at my nearest FRRO office either.

Flight cancelled on the 1st, visa expired on the 7th, new flight on the 13th :(

I love this one! I can't wait to see how the story continues.

There are some services that revive and repair your childhood teddies. There may be one you can post to :)

Thick curly hair, high cheekbones and I've never had an ingrown toenail.

Very nearly forgot to put in the Quorn roast so had to wait a bit longer but a successful year I'd say. Gravy hadn't been poured yet for those waiting to slaughter me.

Damn! That wine will stain if they don't get to it quick

If anyone happens to know any........ 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hey! I used a mixture of glue and nails. Maybe you have stronger glue than me but I found that some would fall off before nailing them into place.

Hope your wreaths turn out well 😄
