I thought I'd write a quick post about how to entertain yourself when you are home alone. My hubby works away during the week giving me lots of time to myself. He's been working away for a year now and to start with I didn't do a whole lot. Time just escaped me and when it came to his 'home time' I would be reflecting on the week thinking about how little I'd done. So I made a decision to try and make the most of being on my own, rather than wallowing in solitude, below are a few things I have been up to:
1) Signed up to a photography course.
I've loved photography all my life and invested some inheritance money in a Canon 7D and two lenses. This was a 10 week course, 3 hours a week, and the homework occupied other evenings in my schedule. I'd hoped to meet new friends that I would keep in touch with but it didn't quite work out like that. I will definitely sign up to another course in the future though!
2) Met up with friends
A good chin wag goes a long way on a night, having social interactions makes me happy and I used the time midweek to catch up with girlfriends. A cheeky wine on a Wednesday is welcome in my eyes!
3) Got value for money from Netflix
Reclusive option, but let's face it, as much as social interactions with pals are ace it is also lovely to sometimes just sit and watch a few episodes of Dexter or watch a classic like Overboard for a little hilarity.
4) Bathed!!
LUSH is one of my favourite stores simply because I now have time on my hands that means I can indulge in a gorgeous bubble bath without any pressures to emerge from the tub prematurely. I really recommend having an indulgent night to make you feel relaxed and ready for a good nights sleep.
5) Exercised
Now I wish I could say I have taken the opportunity to run, but I can't tell fibs. I have however been out and about walking to stretch my legs and breathe in the fresh air of living in a rural village. I will be ramping my walks up to a job soon as I train for a 10k run, I will let you know how I get on!
6) Waltzed around to my parents house
Like any self respecting 30 year old I take myself off to my folks house for tea (that's an evening meal for those non-northerners!). A delicious meal, good company and usually a food package to take home with me... what's not to love about this entertainment option??
How do you like to spend time when you have an evening to yourself?
