Hi,
I've jacked in the crappy self-service checkout job (just couldn't stick it any longer) and haven't found a new job yet (trying to get one that's relevant to a biology degree and doesn't need experience that I don't have). At first sitting around doing nothing all day was great but now I am getting really bored. I'm sitting my driving theory test soon so am studying for that but really need something to keep me occupied, I would go shopping all day every day but can't afford it! I am extra bored at the moment because my friends are all in full time work and my boyfriend is on holidays til Sunday. Can anyone suggest something FUN that doesn't cost a lot of money!

Thanks

Join us over on the martial arts forum, pick a style which suits and your away in a hack!.

Or I see you like dogs. Why not visit your local pound and ask if they use volunteer's to exercise their dogs.

Do you have a piano, guitar, tin whistle ... any instrument ... lying around? Pick one up and try learning a few tunes.
http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=608

Go for a long run, jog, swim ... anything that'll get/keep you in shape.
Make yourself up a fitness routine (and stick to it).
http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=252

You have a computer (obviously) - try your hand at learning a programming language? No shortage of info on the net.
http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=25

Do you have 1 or 2 nights to spare each week? Join something like Order of Malta, the RDF (Reserve Defence Force)
http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=383

Learn a new skill ... hundreds of options.
