    I'm never bored, well how could I be with 4 kids! My greatest love is just getting out in to nature.....for me at home it is free because, I can just walk outside my house and go for miles. So that is what I do when bored, I don't watch too much TV and just too out of it lately to read, but if I have time, I get out and walk the dog in the woods 2X a day....I get to see all sorts of animals, like bears, deer, raccoons etc. And this time of year....the birds are all migrating...so I'm never with out my binoculars. OK.....ready to get out there? :D

    :) Oh that's my thing too... and in Dublin I often went to the beach or the park after work. Only thing is that here, the beach is a 2 hour drive away... and I've yet to find a park in walking distance :eek: although I'm sure there are some! I got me some nature today though so I'm a bit happier now... just need lots more of it.

    :) thank you... oh I'm fine don't worry. I've just moved to England and am waiting for my benefits to come through before finding a job or they may not pay me at all. So the sooner they come the better :) but yeh, reality tv and books and websites have been done :D


    ok, glad you are healthy. I am sorry that I can't be of better advise on boredom.. I am bored here supervising 14 yr olds and wondering where the parents are while I am sitting here fucking babysitting these kids.........ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!

    A store that sells stuff that people donate (clothes, books, everything) and all the money goes to charity.

    yeah, my 14 yr old keeps trying to pull sneaky crap. ( egged on by his dad believe it or not), so I have to be here with him or I then take risk of where he might end up........

    but the charity shop thing is good, right? I am looking for a job and there is a possibility that the college will have something for me.

    let me know how the charity shop goes...........
