You know you're bored when.......

Yesterday after sorting out the domestics, watching stuff I'd recorded, calling a friend, reading and saying after each activity, "Right, what am I going to do now?" I asked my DH to give me some long-division sums. He gave me really hard ones and I kept getting them wrong. However, after perservering I finally cracked them. This managed to while away a good chunk of time and I was quite pleased with myself afterwards. Funny thing is I hated maths at school and I have no idea where all this came from! What do you do in these times of extreme boredom?

Oopsadaisy1 I had never heard of altered tins, just looked it up, some are lovely, might have a go myself.

About a week ago someone mentioned Word Battle, I now waste a lot of time on that.

I was wondering whether to attempt to bake some shortbread (but we'll only eat it) and perhaps some fruit bread but by hand this time - last week's made in the breadmaker was a disaster.

My friend sent us all a music quiz via WhatsApp to stop us getting bored. I just got so frustrated with it I wanted to throw my phone through the window. I'll stick to sorting my drawers out, AGAIN!

I've found 2 webcam sites that I go on when I feel a bit fed up. I can travel the world and watch people in " real time " as they go about. I'm particularly fond of visiting the duomo square in Milan, thectrvi fountain in Rome and the beautiful ski resorts in northern Italy. Then sometimes I go to the beaches in Miami and Maldives. Lovely for a wee bit escape time and then I've cheered up a bit
