What do you do to take your mind off your debts?

I love to cook, & whenever I've got things on my mind, I end up cooking until there's barely any space left in the freezer :) What do you do to take your mind off your problems for a morning/afternoon or a day?

  • I go to the library or charity shop and get myself a good book, preferably a funny one. I can distract myself for hours and hours with a good book.

    Hi.

    I dont think my mind is ever off my debts it is more a matter of pushing the thoughts somewhere we they are not so easy to retrieve. When i do think about them it is in a positive matter as i am doing something about them.

    If i really want to forget about them i go and play golf as i am so bad that takes up all my thoughts. Winds me up though :rotfl:

    I can't really. I'm obsessed with it. SOmetimes that's good, sometimes it's bad.

    Read my books, watch my DVDs, listen to my CDs - may as well get my money's worth! Yes, I know, I could always sell some...
