What do you like to do in any spare time you have. (I know that's probably a silly question).

I like to try and keep up with the soaps, reading and of course the internet.

There are things I would like to do but not really enough time or money to do them.

i guess the picture says it all really

if i had spare time i would just sit and do nothing

theres always something that needs doing though isnt there?

ive never really been a 'hobby' person, i dont even know what my real interests are apart from my kids.

I know what you mean Barbsy.

When the kids were younger they were more "needy", for want of a better word, so there was only time to try and meet their needs.

I think lack of sleep played a big part too as one of them never slept. (Well he catnapped).

As they have got older things have improved insomuch as there is a bit more time to read or use the internet. Not a lot, but a bit.

I like to do nothing too sometimes. It helps to clear my head and gives me a bit of a boost to carry on.

I used to love knitting. Made loads of things for the family and even some for the neighbours many years a go.
I may think about starting again now you've mentioned it.

Walking is a fantastic way to get chilled and it's good exercise too. If you feel down it really seems to clear the cobwebs away and cheer you up.

I could really do with some right now. It's a bit stressful today.
