[flowerbaby_uk]

I have just been amusing myself attempting to do sit ups etc,running up and down stairs till my legs screamed at me to stop ;D has music on dancing round the room like a mad devil my son thinks ive lost the plot ::) but am bored and thought right lets get myself fit. I am due to do a run next month for charity and I can assure everyone i will defo finish last  ;D oh and yeah forgot to add aint bullworkers damm hard to use :o I think i will stick to lugging plants and bags of compost at work  so come on peeps tell me what mad stuff you  do when you are bored and  I hope im not the only crazy peep trying to get thin ;)

well only weighing in at 9 stone no need or chance for getting thinner. As for boredom buster, i usually start to tinker with something technical or start a carpentry project or pick a book i've read and read it again.

[jethro]

Same as Ragged Robin on the first two,  ;D but what i usually do is wind the wife up then run like h*ll  ;D ;D ;D, if she's not in then just read books on anything that takes my interest at the time, or if i can get in the garage devise something that usually blows up  :-\ and takes my hair with it  ;D ;D .

List of things to do (in order of priority)

1. Greenhouse work

2. Go on A4All

3. Go on A4All

4 Go on A4All

5. Read Magazines I dont otherwise get time to do or read a book

6. Catch up on all the jobs that i usualy put off because I am too busy on the other 5!  ;D  

[Wicker]

Think of all the jobs I could be catching up on, plan to do them then wander thru to p.c., go on-line (maybe A4A) and music and forget the rest.

[legless]

it depends really, if i really can't bear it i go and sit in my shed and watch the plants in the rain while reading a book and listening to the radio.

most of the time though i try and do more work so i can do more gardening when its nice out!

i mess about on the internet, or go swimming, or read or bake...

[aquilegia]

Light rain doesn't stop me (I've even been known to garden in the hail!) But if it's heavy I can be found in the shed either tidying up, pricking out of sowing seeds. If I don't have any of that to do (or more likely I've run out of compost or pots!), I'll be sorting out all the interesting articles I ripped out of mum's old gardening mags. Or (rarely) doing housework. But most likely sulking because I can't go out and play! ;)

[Garden Manager]

Gardening in Hail? thats NOTHING aqui. I was out working in SNOW one day last winter. Only light stuff mind you  ;D

I regret sometimes not having somewhere in the garden to sit and be dry while it s raining. No shed/summerhouse/gazebo or even greenhouse (yet) in this garden. Still could alwats get a brolly and sit on the bench i suppose  :-\

[aquilegia]

Richard - :P We don't get snow here.  :P  ;D

[Garden Manager]

Richard - :P We don't get snow here.  :P  ;D

 ;D  ;D ;D   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  Aqui

Neither do we much as a rule but just happened to get a light shower of it on this particular day  ::)

[Doris_Pinks]

Well, i am supposed to do the housework, cos I say I am saving it till it rains, but am usually too bored to do it! I annoy Mr Pinks by wandering around the pigsty saying, i'mmmmmmm soooooooo boooooooooored, then I ring my sister and say the same, then I nag the kids to tidy their rooms, then I come on this site, or I'll bake summit creative for dinner, and get fatter! The housework just never seems to get done! ;D

[Jesse]

Depends if the children are with me. If they are then I might do baking or cooking which they love to help with or watch Disney movies with them, I love the Disney/Pixar movies and having children is the perfect excuse to watch them  ;D. If the children are at school/nursery then I either catch up on work (I work from home so there is always something waiting to be done) or I make hand-made soap which is very enjoyable and creative :D but something that cannot be done with children around. Housework, it does get done but very quickly and as rarely as possible  :P.

[budgiebreeder]

New thread on Hand made soap please .Dont think it should go under recipes should it? Or even on our Sister site Recipes4all.Thought that i had tried most everything but not that .

[Steven]

If its tipping it down,i normally have a wander over the internet,read,watch a DVD,play with my dog,clean the house (grumble grumble).

Being in East Anglia,the worst of the weather normally misses us so we get sun sun sun! ;D ;D ;D

[Gardengirl]

Put on a video ....get on me bike (the exercise type :D ;D ;)) and go for a nice long ride......make knitted toys......... like Bubble, play with the dogs.....occasional housework :-\....oh, and of course A4A :D :D ;D

[Garden Manager]

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nice one Pat

[CotswoldLass]

Don't know about making soap....but when raining I do the normal....greenhouse, drink, smoke, oh, and sometimes I try to do some work (urgh!!!!) - the emphasis being on TRY!!
