So this thread is for those who can't sleep at night.
I'd like it to be a place of safety and peace for all of us (assuming others join me, otherwise I'm just talking to myself!Grin), so no judgement/name calling/etc please.
Welcome to our new tree!
I have (imaginary) snacks. Cake, crisps, chocolate etc. Who wants what?Smile

@HerRoyalRisesAgain Aw, the poor lad. What's causing the cloud? I don't know much about eyes/sight issues. I hope things go well with him.

They think it was just they caught him on a blink because it wasn't there today which is weird
Hes not bothered by any of it, he was just happy to pick out his new glasses! A red pair and a green pair, which is funny because he's red/green colour blind Grin he tried them on in the opticians and declared "I look AMAZING" so of course I agreed with him.

PainterInPeril · 09/08/2021 23:16

I bet he does look amazing! He's so positive! So does he know which colour glasses he's wearing?

He can tell them apart, but only if its not near each other. If they're close together he gets muddled and can't distinguish them.

Just popping in to wish Fatty a very happy birthday. Hopefully Becca will come along to have a bit of cake or something .

I came to bed because I was tired but between the living room and my bedroom I've suddenly woke up and now im led in bed wide awake!

PainterInPeril · 11/08/2021 00:29

@HerRoyalRisesAgain I do that every night! Hopefully you'll be able to drop off eventually.

Grin Oh bless! I'm thinking of moving to New York city as at least I'd be in sync with the time there!
How are you doing today?

I'm ok. Having a good day. The kids are playing power rangers the cats are dosing, the mouse is in his house, and I'm just scrolling the internet Grin

PainterInPeril · 11/08/2021 15:55

Sounds like fun! I'm playing games on my phone whilst watching the Good Life for the millionth time! Grin

Wow,! They look so dramatic! I like the leopard print one particularly. I've given up on my nails as they keep splitting.

OP posts:
HerRoyalRisesAgain · 14/08/2021 23:20

Thanks. These are acrylic. My natural nails are awful, so I taught myself how to do acrylics.

PainterInPeril · 14/08/2021 23:48

Good for you! It's always "hand-y" to have a skill like that at your fingertips....I'll get my coat!Grin

Rummikub · 15/08/2021 01:41

Ok thanks!
Tired after a trip to IKEA’ but obviously not tired enough to go to bed. Noooo that would be just ridiculous right?!
Instead I am eating tunnocks teacakes and watching the Windsor’s 😂

Impressive nails!!

Just playing on iPad basically here and Twitter,

HerRoyalRisesAgain · 15/08/2021 06:13

Why am I still awake at this time?

Gosh, those are amazing nails! I rarely wear nail polish because it doesn’t last 5 minutes on my nails - gardening etc wrecks them because I don’t like wearing gardening gloves. How do you manage to keep them looking good?
HerRoyalRisesAgain · 15/08/2021 08:56

@YanTanTethera123 gel nail polish. The type you cure under led lights. I swear by it

HerRoyalRisesAgain · 21/08/2021 21:52

How's everyone doing?
