The boredom is driving me crazy!!!!

Go to the park and stomp through some leaves, take a flask of hot chocolate with you, go down the slide and play on the swings, borrow a few children or a deviant friend so you don't look like a paedophile.

Try the alphabet challenge do something that begins with A then B, C, D etc. Obviously if you're male you'll already have completed A and B (scratching a.r.s.e and b***ocks).

Redo your SOA to find an extra 15p per month you'd forgotten about (in my case that would be a 15p increase on something). Perhaps thats not a good way to cheer yourself up.

Watch some truly dire 1980s cartoons on You Tube. Fraggle Rock and The Muppet Show are fab, my OH goes nuts over Wacky Races, the kids think we're wierd.

Try making skittles vodka.

Clear out a cupboard and stick the unwanted contents on E-bay.

If you're truly bored and happen to be vaguely near North Wales you're more than welcome to come over for the day and attack my ironing pile.

even worse day for me, my specs just cost me £425 but got a £125 discount.

:eek: Was that for one pair??? Have you had a look at the Glasses Direct catalogue? They do everything from prescription glasses for £15 (and that includes lenses!) up to designer pairs. My last purchase from them was 2 pairs for £50. They also arrange fittings so they will visit you and take your measurements to make sure they have them right.

There are a few speccy beccys in my office so 5 of us booked the Glasses Direct chappy to come to the office and he measured us all there and then for new specs - straightforward reading glasses to varifocals for sports.

Would definitely recommend them.

I do get bored sometimes but I spend more time than is good for me on the web, but I'm presently learning a language and trying to learn photoshop so that keeps me busy.

Top answers from all! Cheers.

Bought an Al Pacino boxset about 6 months ago and never got round to it all.

Just watched Carleto's Way, Scent of a Woman and Sea of Love (more macho than they sound!)

Will start from the top of this thread for tommorow nights entertainment and work my way down!


Quite pleased I haven't spent anything though, If i'd have gone on the lash i'd be into 3 figures by now.

Well done EP!
We have been re-watching cheesy 80's Steven Seagal and JCVD films, so bad they're good and have us both in stitches.
