    Swimming, walking, kids, family, work, reading pregnancy books, sex, work, more work, more kids stuff, baking, card making, monster trucks, seaside, bit more work thrown in, occasional sleep lol, you get the picture! Today my hobby is being sick and feeling sorry for myself.

    Ps I'm also doing a book keeping and accounting course at college. That is keeping me busy as get homework too.

    Its not often Im bored but I will always find something to keep me entertained whether it’s browsing the internet, a film or a book or even an afternoon nap!

    Years ago I used to love cross-stitch so I have just ordered myself some! Hopefully they should be here by the weekend :)

    I'm never bored, aside from the usual chikdcare / cleaning / cooking / homework / school & nursery runs I fill my time with various things


    - Voluntary work with local teens
    - Preparing/running courses
    - Cross Stitching
    - Card making
    - Jewellery making
    - Keyrings
    - Baking
    - Excercising
    - Running my own forum
    - Reading

    I never actually sit and do nothing, even when watching tv in the evening I will be cross stitching or making cards.

    Most of my free time is taken up with Dogging. It's a wonderful way to take in some of the country's scenic carparks.

    I work full time, but in my part time I am a semi-pro musician, so a lot of the time I rehearse or am gigging. I also like to read ALOT so between those two, having a relationship with the better half and the housework I do don't get much time.!

    Life is sometimes a bit pants but occasionally you can wear your french knickers! :D

    You can't do hobbies when you're at work, and work is boring.

    I've just joined an amateur dramatic society - was determined to find time to do something for ME despite being married with 2 kids and working full time.

    I'm really enjoying it although the 8 weeks or so before the show it's very hectic! x
