    Bills have already arrived for me. Forked out £200 today on some, came home and there was the water bill.....and I'm expecting my accountants invoice any day soon too.

    Spare time equals not a lot!

    Outside of work, it's sitting around on the PC, chat to Ruby if she's awake, spend way too much time on bet365, going to football, and going on stupidly long walks for no reason.

    Since being back from Phil's I've been endlessly searching for jobs, sorting through wedding photos, catching up with her old housemates and fellow Filipino friends here, boring them to death with stories and photos! Just hoping the break will come soon so we have a rough idea of when we will be able to start the application to bring her back. Too many people keep saying they want to see her again and it actually gets a little upsetting having to go through the same story over and over again :(

    Hrmph, dreading the energy bill, even though it will be small compared to most - I rarely have the heating on.

    Isn't it soon though when we feel that bit richer for 2 months, as the council tax isn't taken for two months (Around here in at least some of the councils, they take it on 10 month cycles)

    I always like to keep my car looking nice & clean, so that takes a while + living on your own takes means I have to do all the cooking, washing up, cleaning and ironing etc + there's a never ending amount of decorating & refurbishment to do as the person that lived here before did nothing and everything had been done badly! I also have thousands of photos that need editing and sorting! So I never have anything not to do in my spare time!

    I have a lot of spare time as I get four days off a week in between my shifts.
    I spend a lot of it running (currently injured) or at the cinema as I have an unlimited card and can watch as many films as I like for £14.99 per month. This year I have watched 104 films at the cinema.

    Your spare time can be as active or inactive as you choose. I have expensive hobbies and free hobbies, both which I enjoy equally. Also have a satellite subscription, but probably manage to watch about 2 hours of TV a week, so I think its becoming a waste of money.

    I have that card too, but haven't managed that amount of films, as sometimes I don't get the time or not always something that I want to see, or already seen them etc
