Lost your job, How do you fill in your day?

Get yourself a gym membership. Hefty at first, as they can be expensive, but get a 12month one. And get it at a place with a swimming pool aswell.

You can easily pass an hour or two a day in a gym/swimming pool. Also a great opportunity to get in shape, etc.



Get a time consuming hobby.Photography is something I've been enjoying the last while. After the initial cost of the camera and basic necessities, it's essentially a free hobby, as you can take pictures and view/edit them on your computer. Charge your batteries and away you go, out the door for a few hours.


FAS courses are quality too, provided you're doing something you like. I did three FAS courses in 2009/2010 and I think they were all brilliant. FAS are very underrated in my opinion (though my formal education leaves a lot to be desired).


Buy a pair of sunglasses and walk around your town looking cool and sexy.


Organise a night out doing something worthwhile with friends once or twice a week. Bowling is a good one. Soccer can be a laugh (though tiring). With enough people, these turn out to be pretty cheaply.


Learn a musical instrument. Again there's the initial cost of the instrument, but from that point on, assuming you don't get lessons and stick to the internet, it's practically a free hobby.


Look in your attic, under your bed, etc. and dig out some of your childhood friends. I spent about three hours building a Micro Machines city before (and playing with it) because I hadn't seen it in years!


Get a bicycle and go exploring. Hopefully the weather should be picking up soon so that's a good way to pass an afternoon.


Can't think of anything else at the moment.
