I'm bored! Finally looking forward to getting back to work but it's gonna be a couple of weeks... and I'm bored! I'm also getting broke! So how do you get rid of boredom without spending a penny? :o

    apart from that :D I'm indoors too much but there aren't many parks and stuff to go and sit with a book or something! I just need to be outside more! It's not healthy :D

    take up jogging and bring your iPod. That's what I do...completely free...good for you, and the music keeps your mind off the bland/city scenery.

    Volunteering at an animal shelter is always good. Walk dogs or something, that'll get you outside!

    not into jogging but I like long walks... I'm living in a town though and yeh, the scenery's bland.. I can walk up and down the highstreet a few times :D but I'll just have to figure out what nice places the train goes to... but that costs money :o

    I've told my friends boyfriend he can drop off his dog when he's picking up my bf for work in the morning... that'll get me up early AND OUT. My friend also said she'll bring me in as a guest to her gym/pool so that's something for now

    Clean something? Mend something? Read? Or download a movie. That's what I might do. Or just go to bed for some extra sleep. Play with the cats.

    1. dont get a pet, they cost you money.
    2. buy a £50 acoustic guitar and start learning Long Road (ok that cost money but its a one-off investment)
    3. start a course? perhaps in photography.
    4. dont get a pet.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Stop freeloading off Simon and get a job.
    Or start an Irish People Living in England club.
    Work will set you free.

    So, is it ok for her to start a group as long as she doesn't hold a beauty pageant or film awards show?
    Or is it considered a hostile act of racism if she just posts a note on the cafe wall looking for people in the same situation?

    i dont really care. :)

    this thread is about how to alleviate boredom, please dont add to her boredom by making her read stuff like this ;);) .... that was a joke (which i'm sure you'll re-arrange for me to make it sound better) :D

    I am giving her ideas.
    It takes a lot of time and effort to print up fliers, pin them to walls in pubs and stuff. Then she has to field emails or set up a booth somewhere (outdoors) where she can get names and numbers and such.
    Also, if she were to do a beauty pageant or a shepard's pie eating contest, this would alleviate even more boredom. And it wouldn't cost a dime. She could get the shepard's pies donated by the local fish-and-chips merchants. This can be done by making them feel guilty. And she can reserve a room in the library to hold it.
    The beauty pageant can be staffed by a local beauty school and run at the school. I am sure they would donate their stage for such a cause.
    This all takes up a LOT of time and no money at all.
