How do people spend their spare time?

One new years resolution of mine is to spend less time online. I mostly do this when I'm bored.

I currently do other stuff, such as running (hoping to go back to club when it's a bit lighter) and playing the ukulele. (I've just left my old club and have a friend who will be tutoring me) I've just got myself a new Kindle too; so hoping to read a bit more too.

But I don't want to be in the situation where I'm out all the time.

    Reading, knitting and cooking is how I spend a lot of my time at home. I guess it's finding something that works for you :)

    Um, listening to music/making playlists, colouring, blogging, going on walks, oh and taking a crazy amount of naps.

    Drinking.. It's fun at a certain stage. Other than that I absolutely adore art - I really need to start doing more than I have been doing. And walking, walking is everything to me, especially when it's getting dark. Also seeing my gorgeous baby nephew as much as I can because he is my absolute life - even though he is a lickle bugger at times :love: I spend a lot of free time on TheSite too because duh!

    Thanks :) I tend to nap a lot in the day and it's a habit I'm trying to get out of. :blush:

    Listen to music, colouring, sometimes watching TV(if I'm in the mood) , and walks (not so much at the moment as I fractured my foot).

    Still I feel I have a lot of spare time and I play to try all these new things but never get motivated enough to do it
