Favorite waste of time

For games check out Miniclip.com - I love sudoku and a few of the others on there. Reading is one of my biggest time wasters and painting (no good, but I enjoy!).

I have saved the quizzy thing to faves, to have a look at. Only look, mind!

Mini clip is a real favourite of my sons, there are some easy games that even I can do. I am RUBBISH!

I beg to differ - my OH likes first person shooters. Things like Doom, Quake, Unreal, Half-Life, and Halo.

That's why I don't keep machine guns, flamethrowers, grenades and laser cannon lying around...

My favourite waste of time? Hmm, crofting?

Right, Shirlz, I need a serious talk to you.

I am suffering from near-fatal sleep deprevation.
I have no friends left at all.
The garden has gone to ruin.
I have a bankrupting backlog of work.
The house is falling down.
The dog has left home (well, it would have done if I had a dog).

HOW DID YOU GET TO LEVEL 69 IN THREE DAYS?

I have spent the past 5 months roaming through the outer reaches of Google, Wikipedia, and the local library. I have phoned a friend so often they have all changed their phone numbers.

LEVEL 69 IN THREE DAYS????? YOU'RE 'AVIN' A LARF!!!!

Finally, I am looking at the last and final level. Soon it will be all over; soon I can try and recapture the traces of a life I once had; soon I can be free....

Shirlz, if you ever find one of these goddamn puzzles again, just keep it to yourself, huh?

OMG - well... I actually didn't finish it!!!!

oops!! Glad you've enjoyed it Muddy

Heh!. That's gonna confuse people, isn't it, Shirlz? I delete my original so that I can amend it and repost it; meantime, you post a reply to the original, resulting in your reply appearing before the post you're replying to.

We couldn't have planned it better.

I spend time on here, on my site (see www button at bottom), on bbc news, ebay, and playing good old solitaire. Ive been suffering with depression for the last year, and I have to say Ive found it very theraputic to play :)

Oh and I listen to the radio station that we recently set up on my site (plug, plug, plug.....)

I think I waste time by wasting time. Sometimes I just stand and stare at all the things I have to choose between and wonder which I should do.

I love PC/console games, puzzle books (crossword and the like), and crafts - if I'm doing nothing else I'm likely doing one of those things. I like reading too but I have long made a habit of reading every night before I go to sleep so I rarely bother to waste the daylight hours reading.
