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 have recently stumbled upon Chess.

    A friend asked me to go to a five week introduction. I only went because she a friend. I didn't expect to enjoy it at all.

    First week, I loved it. Come home and bought LCD electronic chess as no one at home to play against. Beginners to tornament. First of all I am working out how the machine works.

    But am aware of the frustration. It isn't just financing it. It the finding out what can do through the winter that I enjoy when home alone.

    Another for me is that my cat died back in April. A good 'friend' told me to get another the other month. I took his advice and now have a playful kitten to help me through the winter
