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.

  • I always found the local library a good place to go.  Lots of books to look at on any subject you like, warm, and you don't have to speak to anyone and no one bothers you.  My local library has free wi fi as well as computers to use.  And you could then research all the interests you are interested in, make notes, write your own almanac/journal/reference book.  And all at very little cost (just teh cost of paper and pencils/pens to write up your research). You could also get ideas for crafts/rug making patterns/sewing/diy.

    My life has been full of my good ideas that I have sketched out in words or diagrams, imagined them completed and left them at that.  At least that way they are perfect!
