I can’t cope

@Captain24 i don't think you're horrible for doing what's best for you.

Hoping you can get some sleep while you're there. Glad you've got internet though so you can keep connected here too.

I'm getting closer to being finished the diamond art, just one row to go and I've made a start on it. I might finish it tonight.

I hope so. I’ve just called up dispatch to tell them that I’ll look after myself for crib so that they don’t take me out if this and put me anywhere else! Good thinking on my part. 😂 @MissGremlin

It’s good, it’ll help pass the night for the next few hours anyway. If I could actually mama get some sleep that would be awesome. They all assume those that are parked up are sleeping! Some sleep would make it easier to get my lists done as I wouldn’t need sleep!

That sounds so close. You do really well and get them done so quickly. The section I’m on has 20 rows and it’ll only take me to halfway! Still another 25cms in length to go! Plus it’s a lot of rocks! A lot!!! It’s really fiddly but looks absolutely amazing!

@Captain24 haha very good thinking on your part.

Some sleep would definitely help in many ways. I'm really hoping you can get some.

The one I've been doing is 30×30cm. The last section is a bit longer than 20 dots in length as there's an uneven amount 😂. Oh gees 25cm still to go once you've finished that section. Yes it's alot but I bet it's looking amazing already, I can't wait to see it once it's done.

Yep!! She tanked me. Hahaha. It was all about me! @MissGremlin

It would be good.

30x30 is quite big. You do so well! Mine take me ages but I can’t do it as much because I have to be here. But if I was home right now I’d be asleep anyway. I love these custom ones as it’s so cool to see a meaningful photo turn into a piece of art to hang on the wall. Not that I have anywhere to hang them as I’ve run out of space until I can afford to get more rails put in.

It’s stopped racing at the moment. But that just makes everything more slippery! Don’t know how long it will stop for.

I usually listen to white noise to go to sleep and it’s ‘rain in a tin roof’ I had real white noise this morning and it was so calming.

@Captain24 haha, love your thinking.

It's the biggest i used to do until i found the 30×40 ones. I only work on mine at night time when I'm sitting in bed other than the very few times I've done it during the day. The custom ones are amazing cos its also a memory rather than just a random picture. Hopefully you can get some more rails put in soon so you can hang them up.

I'm glad it's stopped for a bit but everything would still be very slippery.

I love the rain on a tin roof, I sleep better when it's raining but the fake noises annoy me, it has to be real for me.

Sorry. I have tried to respond 4 times but it keeps not letting me. Fancy ‘improvements’ not working @MissGremlin

I saw your pic. The frog is cute. What do you do with them all when you are finished? Just store them? You just have heaps.

I love my customs. The first one I did was a custom and 30x40. It wasn’t mine though. I then ordered a few more premade ones and most of them were the same size. A couple are random sizes. I think one is 20x60!

I love the size of my customs though. Plus everything is square dots so it all matches. All my customs will stay the same size so it’s all matching.

I’ll get enough money to add in the rails. I just have to be careful with Pix, she needs insulin and a urine test this week and a blood test in / weeks. It’s never ending.

Im use to the fake noise. Sometimes it helps with the noise in my head but also I know it’s part of going to sleep. I use it in my sleep hygiene routine

@Captain24 oh that's super frustrating, I've had issues at times too.

Thankyou sweet. Yeah they are all just stored in a Lego box at the moment until I can get a proper folder for them.

20×60cm is such a random size 😂.

I definitely love the idea of the custom ones, but not sure I'll order more from shein as the cat one I did really didn't work out how I wanted it to (still need to try to fix it). Still want to try and find a square one to do to see how much different it is to the round ones.

Hoping all the test for Pix go ok. Can understand needing to make sure that you have enough money for things.

It's good that it helps and having it as part of your sleep hygiene routine is a great idea.

That one was a tiger and a cub. It’s so cute! @MissGremlin. I haven’t framed it yet. I’ve got the frame but not the hanging wire to hang it so when I go in the get the frames for the ones I’m doing I’m going to ask her about it. I still need to seal mums one as well. It’s her birthday in a week!

A folder would be good. Something to flick through and see them all.

Square is different but you just get use to it. I hadn’t done a round one for ages after I started. So it was basically all I knew

I think it looks good. But I get you had a picture in your head and it’s not quite the same.

I’ve got storms in my phone so I could try them but I have a guy coming every 45 minutes for me to wash his car. It takes all of 5 minutes. I put the cannon in he drives under it and then takes off. But it’ll keep disturbing me if I sleep.

Im about to go to dinner so I won’t be around for a little bit.

@Captain24 oohh that would be a very cute one. Definitely need to seal the one for mum being that her birthday is next week, I bet she's going to love it.

Yes it would be, having them in a box is not quite the same.

I'll have to let you know how I go with a square one if i can find one to do.

Oh that sucks that he's coming every 45 minutes for a quick 5 minute hose down.

Hope you enjoy your dinner sweet ☺️

I’ve had dinner and I’m back to where I was @MissGremlin

I need to seal it in the kitchen bench but they are coming around one day and I’ll have to try and hide it.

I found a square one on Temu. There was an option for round and square. I don’t know what I got or even if I did 😂. I have a few but haven’t even touched them. They are only if I run out so I can’t go into a panic like last time!

He is a really top bloke. So I don’t mind helping him. It’s so muddy out here that the head lights and windscreen of cars get dirty and you can see as there isn’t any light so it’s really dark out here
