Well cantata...I do have blocked pores and I reckon I've got combination skin, my nose can be greasier than a sausage but my cheeks and that are dryer.

I'll have to start moisturising Nah, as if! Never! Unless my face is dry and flakey, then I would consider it

Is that a soldering iron mart?

Whatever it is, I haven't got one

if it's not too badly broken sticky tape might work. (I'm not kidding, worked for me)

Since when did we all start owning stuff that we couldn't fix ourselves? Your issue has made me think about this irre...I'm not electrician, but I reckon I'd be able to have a good bash at fixing most of my 'posessions'. Our parents and there parents where able to, after all.

The only things I wouldn't bother with are electronics. And I don't own a soldering iron. Bit of a sorry state to find ourselves in really, innit?

Well... The pad made a dent in the wall... Now imagine what that did to the pad...

The front right shoulder button was destroyed, and the left stick is wrecked, all loose and strange The D-pad doesn't really work either. I haven't even got a screwdriver to open it. I was going to try to salvage the D-pad so I could play Final Fantasy VI, not sure if that needs a shoulder button though

It'll teach me to stop throwing wobblers anyway. I've wrecked a few pads in the past

A sorry state indeed Abs. I blame the "digital revolution". I'll need to fork out for a new pad. £39.99 Not yet though. I'll have to wait a good while.

When I was not working yes i got bored all the time. What helped me was getting into some kind of routine. Wether its going for a walk every day or going gym etc,volunteer work. If you have no routine boredom is the result.

That's certainly true of cars, no point trying to fix them now it's all electronics, there's a lot I wouldn't try and fix like a fridge or gas boiler but electronics are usually worth a go.
You wouldn't believe the number of electronic things I've fixed without knowing what I did.

most electronic things seem to build up an excess of electricity and once they've given me a bloody great big shock they work ok again after

sounds pretty knackered but if you have any old dead ones maybe you can salvage some bits from each and cobble something together.
I know it's terrible when the wall gets in the way of those flying computer bits, happened to me a few times too

Yeah nirvana I've been thinking about getting a routine. I do get into them, but I get out of them just as quickly thanks to strange sleeping patterns.
I'm going to start going for walks actually. The solution is to drag myself out of bed no matter how little sleep I've had. I really love my kip though, and need my kip. But I'll have to sacrifice it to get myself back on track.
A job would help...probably. Three 12 hour shifts per week would be perfect. I saw a security job recently, five 12 hour shifts per week...fuck Five! Now five 8 hour shifts, okay that's workable, but five 12 hour shifts...they're taking the piss.

I used to do that, security, it was a horrible job, I really wouldn't recommend it

Nirvana mentioned voluntary work, it's not too bad
keep the DSS off your back

Do you still get dole mart if you do voluntary work? I imagine you must do.

yes you do, you still have to sign on but they tend to be flexible about when you sign on.

Try that

I cant imagine still being at home with mum. well, she has carked it now a few years ago. She had a damn hard life too, living thru the depression in uk back then. But she loved adventure even in her old age, she moved back and forth to aussieland and back to uk, and did a bit of travelling in her old age. There are things u never dreamed of, said billy waggledagger,... if u dont know who i mean..( i reckon billy/willy was really bacon, but that is another story)

You can do it, irry.. i reckon you can. I did a lot of stuff with no money. .. sure.. i starved a lot.. suffered to bits.. but it is possible

. Have a lil drinky

Just do your own thing. Nowt to fear except fear itself and all that crap.
