The only hobby I've ever had were my horses when I was a young girl.

Fast forward to now, I'm 23 and have no hobbies! What are yours?

And theatre going, but not as often as I’d like.

PorpoisefullyObtuse · 11/11/2017 21:22

Running, walking, baking and cooking, reading, socialising (but only with nice folk). I’m a very introvert, quiet person and anything I do which is calm and alone makes me happy. But I love my friends. I tend to have projects so at the minute I’m in decorating mode and that makes me happy.

thedcbrokemybank · 11/11/2017 21:22

Netball and going to the gym. I'm a school governor too which takes a lot of time.

Oddmanout · 11/11/2017 21:22

Triathlon, reading, movies. Thinking of starting obstacle racing in 2018 too.

happy2bhomely · 11/11/2017 21:27

Reading
Crochet
Baking
Embroidery
Quilting
Walking
TV

Anything I can do alone. Group activities are my idea of hell. I like my own company. I have a DH and 5dc so alone time is something I really value.

Northernmum12 · 11/11/2017 21:37

My horses and dogs. Although horses are my job as well

lalaloopyhead · 11/11/2017 21:38

Running, sewing, charity work, tap dancing and drinking...pretty much fills my week!

fairgame84 · 11/11/2017 21:42

Reading
Weightlifting in summer (garage too cold in winter)
Yoga/Pilates
Matched betting
Learning languages on Futurelearn. I've just finished Norwegian and working my way through Spanish.

Geocaching, reading, tv and cooking

MismatchedCat · 11/11/2017 21:48

Fashion, sewing, knitting ... actually anything to do with clothing and textiles is a huge interest of mine.

I also go through phases where I get really into cooking. Same with fitness. These phases tend to last 2 months or so, and then I ease off for 2 months.

I'm supposed to be learning a language too, but it's so haaaaard and I've lost motivation for now.

PumpkinSquash · 11/11/2017 21:52

Oh jeez. I do have hobbies. I just tend to like mumsnetting and Facebooking and drinking wine in an evening far too often and everything else gets pushed out Blush
Other things I like if I'm not too busy wining and MNing for anything else - colouring, reading, blogging.

Flokidoki · 11/11/2017 21:56

Reading, baking, knitting, aerobics, running, writing (but that's also my job so not sure it really counts), walking, printmaking. Don't have time to do them all at the same time but I dip in and out.

I also have an unhealthy love for Midsomer Murders, which DH would definitely define as one of my hobbies.

RiseToday · 11/11/2017 21:57

Animals, audiobooks, music (guitar and singing)

Blackcatonthesofa · 11/11/2017 21:58

Goldsmithing and sewing.

Once in a while I have periods where I take up more baking, reading, crochet or painting.

Badgerlady · 11/11/2017 21:58

Running (other fitness stuff comes with this: some weights; spin and cycling as cross training; yoga to stretch)

Flute. Started to learn as an adult two years ago. Doing my grade four soon!

Theweasleytwins · 11/11/2017 22:05

Making amigurumi toys

FrogsSpawnofSanta · 11/11/2017 22:14

Karate and reading, have also recently started running.

Triplesalchow · 11/11/2017 22:15

Cooking
Pilates
Reading
Live music
Running/ walking at the moment more
Podcasts

I would like to write, learn French, learn to knit or crochet, garden a bit more

cakesandphotos · 11/11/2017 22:18

Knitting and photography. Although knitting has taken a backseat since my rheumatoid arthritis flared up again

IHaveBrilloHair · 11/11/2017 22:23

Cooking.

NC4now · 11/11/2017 22:23

Gym, occasionally crochet, reading, drinking.

Cleanermaidcook · 11/11/2017 22:26

Scrabble and reading - and drinking wine whole doing both Grin

BarbaraofSevillle · 11/11/2017 22:27

Reading, hill walking, gin drinking, scuba diving.

Have run and cycled in the past and need to get off my fat arse and do some more of that but my other hobby of interest in food seems to have taken over.

ferretygubbins · 11/11/2017 22:29

Cycling, woodturning and have just started blacksmithing with the aim of making knives.
