What do you waste your time doing?

I seem to spend an awful lot of time looking for clothes that will fit my now 4’ 11” frame. Inside leg 27”. I must have looked on every shop and catalogue site there is and nothing I like appears. Any ideas ladies. Have I missed any ? Help!

Watching the Spooks series on iPlayer. Quite good but more fantasy than reality.

Games and threads on GN and Mumsnet. I do these between business tasks to chill out a bit. But sometimes I am tempted to forget about the business tasks until I remember what brings in the money!

Witzend

*Callistemon*, I’m impressed that you tidy your yarn stash! Mine just gets stuffed into drawers - where the balls often manage to unwind themselves and get tangled up with others.

I was trying to find enough of various shades of blue for a blanket, Witzend.

Just ordered some more ?

Making lists of things I need to do, moving said lists from one day to the next, occasionally crossing something off. ?

Practicing sketching, jigsaw, reading, IPad art app (very addictive), walking the dog, singing for leisure (not a choir), in local community centre, Zumba Gold, WI coffee mornings, WI organised walks, WI organised theatre outings, gardening, daily Pilates online

I do wordle,quordle and the thee sudoku from the newspaper every day! However I don’t consider it time wasting but keeping my brain active!

I don't watch Antique programmes on TV
I spend some time cuddling my dog.
No crossword, or word games of any kind.
Hoover and dust when not required

Reading newspapers. And cutting out recipes from them. AND keeping them neatly filed. I should be reading worthy books instead.

Watching TV. Playing golf but at least it's mental and physical exercise, fresh air and socialising.

This

I mostly do chores and housework in the morning which calms me down and gives me an exercise regime. I listen as I go to things like The Spectator ’World in Sixty Minutes’ and YouTube videos of people like Douglas Murray or Lionel Shriver. I do my Pilates whilst completing the Telegraph quiz word. Then I go for a country or village walk.

The afternoon is taken up with visiting the DD for a walk, reading, afternoon tea with the DH, walks with the DH on his days off and the weekend, sometimes shopping and prepping an evening meal.

The evening is spent reading, doing Telegraph puzzles like the code word and browsing the Internet. The DH and I watch TV on the laptop for one hour, usually subtitled Scandi drama.

Busy doing nothing. Bliss.

Hoping my adult child with MH will not be paranoid and actually let me see my GC.

Other than that I work most of the time.

Seems the greater number do word puzzles or similar which bore me inside five minutes, maybe because they seem like hard work. I do not even understand strange Japanese number puzzles at all. Hand me a really well written novel up to 500 pages or so and I am happy reading, supplemented with looking up the internet to understand any references and background in the book. This, of course, is not a waste of time, but only self indulgence. A lot better than housework.

I used a scrying glass.

No, I don’t think you’re being thick. I read it before rt was deleted.

It’s just struck me how many people on here use technology to waste their time . And yet there are often conversations regarding younger people for always being on their phones or iPads . This is not a criticism, I too enjoy wordle , Pinterest etc , just an observation .

Reading the fantasy threads on Gransnet. Today’s is an absolute belter

Hi blossoming. Where can I find fantasy threads have looked but couldn’t see anything.

You can’t find them. GNHQ delete them.

Am I being thick here? How did you read it ?

BlueBelle

Wordle quordle and answering stupid women who want to have an affair with a married man ?holds head in hands and gives it a wobble

???
It's gone - relief.
Now we have to find something else!

Tidying and re-tidying my yarn stash
Looking up places on Google maps which I hear mentioned on TV programmes (I'll never visit most of them).

Playing a game called SuperCity on facebook, total waste of time!! Used to play a farm game that I got addicted to, eventually deleted it and didn't play any for a long while but now getting addicted to this one

Saggi ?

WordswithFriends2 is the only online game I play, but I just play at odd moments in the day when sitting down. I'm sure some people spend all day on it. I don't think crossword solving is a waste of time! I print off the Guardian crosswords each day and you can get answers the next day.

Wordle, Quordle, Octordle, Guardian and Observer cryptic crosswords, especially pondering clues I can't answer.

Procrastinating. Thinking about what I ought to be doing and not doing it.

Hmmm I like to think that I dont waste my time doing anything, everything I do is because I want to do it,not to 'fill in time'.
