Bored in the evenings

[kevinsmother]

Any good ideas of what to do in the evenings that doesn't revolve around TV or internet? Obv can't go out much as dc asleep in bed.

No ideas apart from planning the next day/chores (dull) so will watch with interest.

reading, painting, writing, sewing, model making, talking to friends and family, sex.....

Feed the DC first, then when they are in bed be adventurous with your dinner. We try to do this three or four times a week, find a tricky looking recipe and give it a go. It's a nice way to spend time together, cooking, drinking wine, chatting.

Cook food to go in the freezer so you have more time with the DC before their bedtime?

Correspondence course?

I like the cooking idea, thanks.
Will try sex tonight maybe

cooking/baking, either the following nights dinner or some baking for pack lunches

reading,trips to the librbary to get a few different books, books on walking in the area, cooking DIY health - its free so I usually get 10 books to last a couple of weeks.

chat on the phone, catch up with friend or family

play cards (uno and rummy) draughts, chess - ieasier if there is more than one person!!

Suduko,

Ah thats always a good one

Cryptic crosswords - I used to spend hours doing those (then I discovered MN )
