Me:

Wordle
Quordle
Trickster
I used to play Candycrush and got completely hooked. Had to delete the app and haven’t dared go anywhere near it since.

Gransnet, watching Place in the Sun, daydreaming , although not during work!

Surfing the net. Unfortunately I've started watching short TikTok videos. SUCH a waste of time!

Me too. My daughter sends me one, then I end up flicking through a million others. There are only so many DIY projects and hair braiding videos I need to see, but the next thing I know, an hour has passed and I still haven't cleaned the kitchen grin.

Otherwise, various discussion boards, knitting and playing 'finding' games.

Refreshing a facebook rescue to see if any new cats are available.Scrolling through some sites I follow.When I wake up I do wordle and another puzzle and about 2 hours later I can still be online.

Not tidying as I go, so I have to spend a whole day tidying

M0nica Sun 02-Oct-22 13:49:00

Reading, tidying.

I like to think I am not wasting my time doing Wordle or Nerdle, rather I am keeping my mind active and ticking over!

Witzend Sun 02-Oct-22 13:55:22

Since when is tidying a waste of time? ?

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

I say that about finding games, but the reality is that I'm addicted grin.

Wordle, Solitaire, Suduko, jigsaws all online with my morning coffee.
I read my kindle in bed at night, real books during the day.
Knitting and TV in the evening.

Am not sure that any of the above are a waste of time though, as they are pastimes, and hobbies.Even daydreaming has it’s place and staring into space from a comfortable armchair, my own favourite, is calming or using my imagination in defusing a potential situation or conversation, for when it arises.

Had anyone tried Heardle? Intros from songs from the 60s, 70s, 80, 90s and 00s. Try to guess the song

Zoejory Sun 02-Oct-22 18:03:06

Oh and I love Tiktok

I agree. Complete fantasy but Oooh, the passion. Can’t wait for the final chapter.?

I am awfully good at faffing.
