    Go for a walk or laze around the house. I should be doing housework but am on the laptop but at least it's free! January pay day is a LONG way off yet...

  • If you are female - pamper yourself - have a nice bath, use a face mask (or make one with ingredients you have at home), paint your nails etc

    Watch a dvd, read a book, surf the net, do online clicks to earn money, invite someone over for coffee.

    I am currently inputting details of my DVD collection into a piece of software I downloaded free to keep a track of it all! How sad! :D

    If you are a single bloke:

    Cut your toenails, trim your nasal hair, clean out your belly button, have a shave or sharpen up your goatee, change the sheets & duvet cover (go on, it's been a while....;) ), tidy the house up, scrub the kitchen sides down of old tea/coffee & beer stains, clean the fridge out, wipe down the top of the cooker, clean the bathroom, empty the bin, start recycling, hoover the stairs down, call your Mother, water the plants, put all your DVDs & mags away, sort your wardrobe out, consider washing the curtains or cleaning the blinds, make a list of healthy fresh foods you can buy & cook, try to remember whose birthday it is soon and buy or make some cards......the list is endless.


    Before anyone calls me sexist, this is a joke. Sort of.

    Now that doesn't sound like much fun.

    I'd rather just scratch myself, eat pot noodles, watch p*rn, play video games and get drunk in front of the TV til I fall asleep. ;)

    I had three years in which I had lots of no spend days because I had too. And now I actually like these days because there is no pressure to do much.
    I do housework/ sort cupboards etc.Email friends
    Read / watch a dvd
    Do some gardening
    Go on a long walk.
    Visit a friend or have friends round for coffee/ supper
    Phone friends/family
    spent time on the internet and catch up with mse and competition entries.
    When I am feeling especially virtuous, I do an exercise video.

    If I'm off and OH is away working I potter around the house tidying up, listen to the radio and surf the net, take the dog for a walk....I also paint, draw, do DIY, have an afternoon nap, ring family. Never at a loss to do things..
    And, the same as Mh1923 if dear OH is home lol
    On work days, I plot plot plot MSe ways, try and get out for a walk at lunchtime and make sure I eat breakfast and lunch and have plenty of drinks....
    Also try not to panic!
