I plan parties. They get out of hand... I need a job.

I have always wanted to learn a new language, if I had the time I would do it.

iammargesimpson · 18/03/2015 20:35

Exercise, cooking proper dinners, baking, gardening, growing your own fruit and veg, painting furniture (chalk paint), part time college course, other short courses like yoga, upholstery, interior design; getting involved in community initiatives, volunteering at local charities, school parents association, meeting friends for coffee.

These ae the things that I do to stop myself from getting bored, I've had a couple of 'pj days watching Jeremy Kyle' and realised that I was going to get depressed very quickly if I kept that up!!

There's loads to keep you busy, most of it doesn't cost anything or costs very little, depends what your interests are.

A cigar tube full of angry wasps makes a fantastic vibrator

Now tell us how you get them into the tube . . . in fact post a video on Youtube.

I once had an email from a client promising me a box of flies and I was a bit disappointed with what I got.

Worra! I nearly wee'd a bit Grin

Harmony hairspray will attract them Grin

Or at least it did whenever I used to spray it on my 1980s flick-back

I ran into the sea at Clacton - fully clothed and screaming "Fuck off. Just fuck off the lot of you"...much to the concern and amusement of 100 onlookers Blush

What happens if the lid comes off mid shenanigans with the cigar tube?

Imagine explaining that in A&E Shock

Write a book

Anyway I've done volunteering in the kids school for three years (until we moved) which was lovely, helping with the 4/5 year olds. Bloody exhausting but sweet kids.

I now volunteer with a charity working with disabled kids, health permitting. I'm due more surgery so my help will be very limited at some point.

Helping on forums. Just decide what support you can offer (in my case domestic violence) and offer support and help.

See friends.

Shop in peace.

Cook nice food

Shag your gardener

MrsTrelis · 18/03/2015 21:45

Knit and watch 'Say Yes To The Dress' and 'I found the Gown'. And 'Catfish'.

That's what I'd do any way. As it is I do not get to do these things as often as I'd like Sad

SylvaniansAtEase · 18/03/2015 21:50

Start a stable of thoroughbred racing hamsters. The very first. Your name will go down in history as the breeder of the 'Godolphin Hamster'.

You could then spend your time shopping for outlandish hats to wear to race meetings and shag the hamster trainers.
