I’ve ordered some switch 2’s and because I’ve heard various stories about the cases popping open I’m going to sew a case for them not sure if I’m going to do a case to go around the original case yet or just a case for the earplugs on their own.
They’ve not arrived yet and I can’t find the dimensions for the switch 2 case anywhere. I’m particularly after the diameter but the depth might be useful too
So I have this band t shirt that somehow ended up with stains all over it so I decided to dye it
Overall I’m happy, I didn’t realise there would be so much white areas I thought they would just be lighter blue
I did very little research just bought some ritt dye (which I then saw later isn’t good for tie dye) followed on of the many instructions on their website (they all seems to be different to achieve the same thing?). Used a water bottle with sports cap as the bottle and did use the ritt dye fixative thing.
I don’t mind if it bleeds more in the wash
Was a fun process and I caused surprisingly little chaos, if I was clever I could maybe get it so their isn’t such concentrated colour behind the print but now I have a t shirt that previously I wouldn’t wear because of the stains but I will definitely wear this
18 June got a text saying they got my forms today just got a text saying it’s done and I just need to wait for the letter
I’m quite shocked because last time it took 15 months, my friend sent hers off In January and hasn’t had a response
I did see something on here about them extending peoples because of back logs or something, could it be that?
I hate that they send this text it causes me so much anxiety, I’d rather they didn’t text and suddenly a letter just appears
I’m entering a quilt into a competition and need to post it in probably just going to use Royal Mail
But I’m debating if I should pay more for higher value coverage I think the standard is £50 but may be wrong.
My problem is if it did get lost how would I prove its value, the materials alone cost over £150 but how do I prove the quilt would be worth that if it came to jt
I don’t see a point in paying extra for higher compensation if I’m not going to be able to prove the value to get the compensation but at the same time if it did go rogue don’t want to not really get anything back for it
What’s your favourite apps for to do lists / reminders?
I need to have it so some things can get allocated to a day but some are just general things of oh I should do that
Need to be able to get reminders for ones I want
And ideally categorize things like household, work etc
I know you can kinda do all that in the Apple reminders but it would be nice to have it separate from my calendar i think
Need to get rid of all these random lists I have for things I need to do for various different categories which I inevitably lose before I get it all done and then can’t find the list when I need it and can’t remember what was on it (I’m sure I’m not the only one… right)
My bandito tour hoodie has been worn LOTS and the cuffs were really falling apart so today I’ve replaced them
So here’s your reminder to try and repair your merch rather than throwing it out :)
My inspire 3 screen has gone dead today the buttons are still responsive and it vibrates when I push them I’ve tried the hard reset where you plug it in and press and hold both buttons, after 10 seconds I get a firm vibrate but nothing on screen
It is just in warranty, the warranty has about a week and a half left but I’m struggling to contact them.
Followed the articles got to the contact us page, option for x doesn’t work it says they need to update their inbox settings. Facebook messenger leads to a not official at all looking account and I haven’t had a response to the message. And then it just gives the option of calling which isn’t a great option for me really, is there any other way of contacting them.
I’m concerned because my last fit bit had nothing but problems and it took over 6 months for them to send me a new one (which still didn’t work properly) and obviously the warranty is almost up.
I did purchase it through Amazon so Is that the better way to deal with it? Or will they just direct me to Fitbit/ Google
I sent my pip review form off 2 weeks ago the deadline for them to receive it was today. But I’ve just received a letter from them dated 2 weeks ago reminding me to send it so now I’m a bit worried they won’t have received it in time
I tried to call them before I sent it to ask for more time (was waiting for the support worker to come) but my records are restricted so they said they would call back but never did and I haven’t been very well so haven’t called again.
I’m just so paranoid they will stop my pip because they didn’t receive it (this happened on my last review despite sending it 2 weeks before the deadline)
Edit: just read th reminder letter properly and the date on that is different to on the original form (30th June as opposed to 16th June) is this a mistake?
As the title says I’m clueless.
One of my t shirts has come out the wash with all these marks all over it, tried soaking it in vanish etc and the marks won’t budge so I want to dye it.
The t shirt is white with a black print on it
I would quite like to dye it like this blue t shirt. So it’s got some dark bits of blue and some light bits
As opposed to having some bits of the t shirt blue and some bits white (I’m worried the marks will still be obvious if some bits are still white)
Any and all advice very much appreciated I’m not sure what dye to buy or how to achieve the effect.
T-shirt is 100% organic cotton
I have a hoodie where the wrist cuffs are so wrecked so I’m going to replace them.
I do sew I just have limited experience with clothes and jersey
Can I use tubular ribbing for this it seems much cheaper than buying specific cuff ribbing and I only want plain grey a lot do the cudf ones are multicoloured.
And if I can use tubular ribbing would a quarter of a metre be enough
My thoughts are I can use it and 25cm would be plenty but I thought I would check before ordering
I need to contact PIP as I’m not going to be able to get my review form back in time. But they can’t get into my record because of special section D restrictions. They says they will call back but never do. Any advice on what to do? My pip is going to get stopped if I don’t contact them but can’t get in contact with them!
This is th first time I’ve had to contact them since th restrictions were put in place so not really sure what I’m meant to do
Finally finished this quilt, the quilting took me much longer than I thought it would.
I am super pleased with how it’s turned out!
My machine is now stained red, I didn’t prewash because I love the crinkle but I have got synthrapol and colour catchers and hopefully that will stop dye leakage
Now to get on with all the other things I need to do and have been putting off so I could finish this
I’ve been sent my pip review form and I have a few questions
It says don’t send it recorded delivery because it will take longer to get back to them, but last time I sent it via the free post evelope included they stopped my pip because they apparently did not receive it till 3 weeks after the deadline despite me sending it 2 weeks before the deadline. It was a whole mess that went on for ages because they refused to understand that because it’s been done during a postal strike there will be problems. So I had planned to send everything recorded delivery so I have proof it was received, could this really cause more problems?
I have me/cfs and my health has deteriorated quite a bit in the last month where I can’t really cook for myself do my laundry etc, previously I could do some of it for myself some with help. Do I fill it in as I am now?
I don’t really have any health care professionals involved, my gp doesn’t really know about my conditions because I moved here after I was diagnosed and have never spoken to this gp about it (plus I see a different gp every time) and I’ve been discharged form the cfs service because ‘there is nothing more they can do for me’
Do I just put down my gp even tho they know nothing?
Do they have all the documents I’ve sent them before? I don’t think I have any new evidence since my last review so do I just fill o it the form?
I’m going to enter the festival of quilts, jsut for th funsies but I have a question about the entry form
There is a question about designer credit ‘please credit the name of the designer if you designed your own quilt include your full name’
My quilt is sawtooth stars with sashing, I obviously don’t create saw tooth stars and I’m sure there are many patterns for similar things but I didn’t use any specific patterns I just sketched it out myself
So do I jsut put my name?
I have me/cfs and it’s been gradually getting worse for about a year but I’ve been ignoring it because I was still able to function except now I really can’t function!
I’ve seen some people take electrolytes and I was wondering what other things along the same lines has worked for people
I’m willing to try anything really as long as I can access it in the uk without a prescription.
Symptoms include.
Severe fatigue and PEM
Headaches (not sure if they’ve got to the point they would be classed as migraines)
Randomly going really hot especially if I’ve exerted myself
Brain fog
Leg weakness
Some dizziness when I stand
Give me your most unhinged chronic illness hacks!
So a bit of background:
I volunteer at my local Scrapstore (essentially and craft charity shop) we are currently running a crochet course for children who are home educated and Will eventually do it for adults too.
During the process of creating this course we have very much realised we all do things slightly differently.
We were just discussing it and they don’t think I yarn over th same as them. We were watching videos and I possibly yarn under (not intentionally!) but we kept getting confused.
So maybe the very clever people of Reddit can tell?
I do crochet very tight, not intentionally and I don’t even realise it was tight until I met other people who crochet.
At the end of the day I know it doesn’t matter, my stitches are neat and the tightness works well with amigurumi but It would be interesting to know if I do yarn over or do something else
I’ve just finished this top and I’m so pleased. I asked a while ago for advice on the sashing and ended up cutting it on the bias and it was definitely the right decision.
Not sure how I will quilt it so if you have suggestions they would be welcome but that’s definitely a problem for another week!
