How does your week go? What do you do all day and where do you go? Just trying to get ideas into filling my time.

charity work -always some intertesting situations available-its not all shop assisitant and the like!-i did a stint as a warehouse manager for a recycling place that provided everything needy people needed to set up home-i also did some van and removal supervising as a part of the same organisation--got me out and about!

Reading, gardening & growing own vegetables, some community involvement, membership of U3A, a few mini breaks away, as little housework as my conscience allows and probably more time than I should on this internet forum.

I dont work Im a SAHM. I go to the cinema using the orange wednesday with a friend, I go to gym 3 times a week, the school run. I look after the house etc. I read. I easily fill my week. :-)

Baking , cooking, weekly art class, art painting day out in good weather,sewing , gardening and I walk the dog every day whatever the weather.
Although i am busy, I still find time to be " bored" if that makes sense. i think it easy to become a bit isolated.

At the moment my day starts at 6am and i spend all day with my two young children. Housework, tidying and sorting kids and then back to housework, tidying....lol! A huge conveyor belt!
I don`t go out or do much as i have no income so we find activities to do for free including walks, parks and forest trips.

One they go to school i can`t wait to go to work, hate not working but due to no childcare i am unable to go back just yet x

I've got three kids.....more than enough to keep me busy:rotfl:

Seriously though, when you put aside the school/nursery runs. the washing, the cooking, the cleaning, the reading stories, the cleaning * there's not much time left in the day

In the evenings, I do a couple of nights voluntary work with teenagers, the odd weekend away with them and other weeknights, if I don't have ironing to do, bills to sort or other paperwork, I indulge in my cross stitch hobby.:D




*Yes, I know I wrote that twice, under 5's are flipping messy!!

Are you in Scotland? If you are you get up to £200 (sometimes up to £500 depending on course) through ILA Scotland to go on courses/classes (whether working, unemployed, retired etc (providing if working you dont earn more than £22k a year). Might be an idea to get you out the house and doing something you enjoy. If you live elsewhere Im not sure if you can get any subsidy for courses etc. but a hobby might be an idea in any case.
