Financing interests.

Sioux

I'm beginning to panic about this winter for various reasons but mainly for filling my time. I have loads of interests that are outdoor based gardening, walking, bird watching, chicken keeping, dogs etc but I can't spend so much time outside in the cold. I'm quite cold intolerant and getting more so as I age. So after having lost my job of 9 years and now finding myself on benefits I don't have the means to participate in my usual winter obsessions, diy, rug making, sewing, crafts etc. I need cheap or free ideas people? I can't think of anything that won't involve spending cash I don't have. Ideas anyone? I don't do so well without something to focus on.

Thanks for reading.

    If you can get out & don't mind people, there's browsing charity shops.

    I'm on benefits & can't afford to do anything. I can't even afford a TV licence. The only luxury I have is the internet & my cheap tiny laptop. As I need it to communicate & buy groceries. I have to be careful though as it's so easy to buy things. 

    I make the most of my laptop. I use it to research & get material for home educating my daughter. And we use it to watch youtube & catch up tv (excluding bbc iplayer) there are so many free programs. My daughter also uses the internet with many of her wii-u games.
