Morning all just thought I would chip in here.

Rage - I am glad someone else has my jigsaw addiction - OH thinks it is teribly "hot chocolate and slippers" but I love them!

Hobbies for me:

- Reading when I can - OH just bought me the box set of Inspector Morse books for £13 with his book club at work - several will be coming on holiday with me
- Cardmaking - hoping to turn this into more of a business later tis year
- Cooking, baking etc - both for nurishment and for treats! Love ym slow cooker and bread maker!
- Walking - we have a canal and a river here in Taunton which OH and I love to walk along to the park and feed the ducks at the weekend
- Surfing the net - currently picking up loads of tips on having a baby OS (thanks Ancasta!) for when we start trying in the Autumn - hmm it doesnt sound very far away when I say it like that!
- Trying to lose the bit of extra weight before trying for a baby - doing Weight Watchers Full Choice

Take care all

Please don't worry, my contract has run out but I knew it would and have decided to take a short break. Will probably start temping or something next week. Thanks for the concern though that's very kind!

You all seem to fit so much into your days, I'm positively ashamed.I've been thinking about taking up photography again - this thread is just the kick up the backside that I needed!

I'd like to read a few articles/books to get me started but the library has nothing inspiring. Can anyone recommend any good websites? In true OS style I don't want to buy any books or magazines if I can possibly avoid it :-)

I like doing jigsaws, dancing around the living room like a nutter with music at full blast! Walking the dog, cooking, surfing the web (when at work) reading.

Not very original I know

I also forgot to say I am a big Radio 4 addict - OH doesn't really like it in the morning but he won't have anything classical on and I refuse to have anything loud forced on me in the morning!! I have tried to convert people at work but they don't seem to have the same fascination for "Veg Talk" as I have i just don't understand some people...............

I'm a total internet junkie and write and maintain a website for a group I belong to

Mostly a Roleplay (definition here ) about twice a week - which means I see about 5-9 of my friends generally in one of our houses. It's very money saving as there's no food to buy or anything as either I'm at home or in a friends home where I can cook or whatever as well as very social.

Radio 4: what a wonderful station!!!

I couldn't live without it. It always amazes me when people say that they find staying at home turns their brains to mush: all one has to do is to turn on Radio 4 to get instant intellectual stimulation. I could quite happily live on a desert island without any human company if I had a radio :-)

well if we've all taken only one thing away from this thread it is the importance of making time for ourselves, and im sure im not the only one who has realise they are guilty of running around like a headless chicken at times at not making proper 'me' time to relax. something that im determined to change, so thank you one and all for the inspiration and motivation
