You can fuck around with broken bones, unless it's your ribs.

I always just hit the gym... Can't afford that then go running. Find local jogging routes.
Disabled? Look into outreach programmes in your area, they'll have organised daytrips and so on.

Cracking advice that mate. I'll look into it

Someone once said "He who seeks work finds rest, he who seeks rest finds boredom"
How true.
Get well!

another generation said:Been there. Get a sheet of paper and write down a basic routine for the week. Time for sleeping and meals within certain time frames, then chunks of time for other activities. Get outside for at least half an hour a day, even if it isn't exercise. It's more important than you can imagine to get fresh air!
Spend some time checking over your finances, especially if you've not got any income coming in. Work everything out for the year ahead, adding on a small percentage to cover price increases, then set aside so much cash per week for what you need.
Great advice. Definitely will do that.
Actually had been pretty busy the last couple of weeks, its just today and yesterday that I've been on the bored side.
Finances aren't really a problem, I was just asked to take my leave before starting my new job, but that said, I shouldn't just use it as an opportunity to spend via boredom

Summerbuzz said:All good advice from Another Generation. Routine, fresh air and daylight keeps your body clock in sync. Going up town and sitting with other people, having a coffee or whatever, is good for you as well. Reading anything is super useful for maintaining or improving your concentration. If you've more than a couple of weeks off find out about voluntary work. It's great to give something back, helps you keep in the swing and feeling like a useful person. Once you've got an in you'll probably find you can drop in and help out whenever things get slow for you.

It was hard work, still is, and I still hardly make a butty, but it's what kept me off my arse and off the piss. Stay busy.
Both good advice, thanks.
I think i was initially so happy to have a break from work and no one to be held accountable for, that I thought I could just veg around and not do a great deal. Didn't realise how boring and, actually, un-relaxing doing that actually is

That's the logic I try to explain to my work colleagues when they fantasise about a huge lottery win!roaminblue said:I think i was initially so happy to have a break from work and no one to be held accountable for, that I thought I could just veg around and not do a great deal.

Boredom will drive you fucking mad. I had a few months off work last year with a leg problem and looking back I'm extremely grateful it came during the school holidays and I was kept busy looking after our daughter.
