I need a new hobby. Something to stop me being on my phone so much when i'm bored...
Id like something that doesn't have a massive outlay or take up too much space.
Anyone have any suggestion?

I do a fair amount of baking already, I never thought to count it as a hobby. No idea why.
Normally Id go to the gym but thats not on the cards atm

I've always loved doodling so have started creating zentangle pictures again - used to do them years ago and forgot about them till recently. Just need paper and a pen. The attached photo show what I mean but it isn't my picture (found it on Pinterest). I find it so calming and it's really rewarding when you see the page filling up.

Jigsaws while listening to podcasts and down loads. Off to do just that right now...

Seconding cross stitch.

Would recommend getting a kit with perforated paper as a starter. It's a bit easier to deal with and you won't need complicated hoops etc.
