- Learn how to cook (Practical Cookery by Victor Ceserani et al is a good start)
- Go running, and trim your time by 5-10 seconds each day.
- Wash cars in the street. Learn how to wax cars (quite easy) and earn cash that way.
- Play your sister at chess
- Learn a programming language
- Buy some weights, and use them.
- Temp

Good idea, parkour is cool.

You don't need your mum to drive you places to do stuff.

You can cycle, walk, or catch a bus. You could try looking for fruit picking in your area but it might be a bit early on for that. Failing that just catch a bus to some big forest and enjoy your unexpected down time to de-stress and forget your worries.

Sit by a lake and skim stones in the sun, boring maybe but better than daytime TV.

Get Dosbox and play some oldies.

Buy a camera and get into photography... you can get a decent used one for £150, which is a long-term investment by the way in case you're worried about the cash, and you'll have a lot of fun if that's you thing.

EDIT - Wow you guys who reacted angrily to his posts... looks like you have real chips on your shoulders!

Well I work for 50hours per week, I have a child to look after cos my mrs works evenings, the reason I called him "spoilt" is due to *** fact he was complaining in the nature that he was in the first post.

I think you need to relax. So what he's young, free and and his dad has restaurants. There's always someone who has it better than you!

That's a fine idea. Take advantage of any time you don't have to be in an office.

Why do we need to know:

a) About your free trip to Egypt
b) About Daddies empire

In order to spec you something to do for 2 weeks?

And going for walks without a fit gal to keep a young 20 year old guy company is a bit.....odd!

It isnt at all, when I nee space and time to myself or time to think I just go out walking. Its great! Especially now as the weathers perking up a bit, do you have a camera? Take it out with you and take some photos of anything that takes your fancy! That passes the time!

dustiestrat · 3 Apr 2007 at 15:39

Have a kid, meh... have two?

Do your uni work! I guarantee you that if you do that, you'll start coming up with more fun things to do. If you still can't, then so what, you've done some work towards doing well in exams and a better lifestyle a few years down the line.

There is always a few aint there! If you havent already read my posts regarding people who post in my thread only to moan, go read them. :rolleyes:

Melbourne: I can already cook some cool stuff, i have been teaching my mum and sister what i know and i have been learning some stuff from my mum but it doesnt really take up a lot of time. I would love to go running but i dont have any good running shoes, and without them i might injur myself. I might give it a go tomorrow though, there is the school cross country run only around the corner. Used to take me over 20 mins years ago, i suppose i could give that a good go! RE Washing cars: Forget that dude! Only car i wash is my dads car, but we havent got that at the moment so cant! My sister cant play chess and i cant learn much of a language in two weeks! I have frozen my gym account at the moment because i know i wont be able to really make use of it. I dont like to be on and off with my exercise and with only 2 weeks off i dont want to get into it to stop again when the exams start but thats what will end up happening! And temp, for two weeks, i dont think its worth the effort.

What is laparkout? :confused:

Richdog, and eveyone else that has told me to take up photography: I have a great digi cam. I loved taking pics in Egypt but thats because the landscape was amazing, family was in them, it was sun shining days and the sea was nice to photograph to. But now im stuck in the small town of cannock. What am i supposed to go out and take amazing pictures of? I loved it on holiday but i cant see it being half as good down the local town centre lads?

I think the main probem is not that there is nothing to do but it takes a lot to entertain me. Plus i dont just want to chill and be happy doing nothing. I want to use these two weeks as holidays and look back at them in a month when im doing my exams and have good memories of fun stuff i did. I really need to achive somthing on a day to day basis. I have fun sitting about watching tv and eating burgers but its not really somthing to discus with your mates when you get back to uni as stories of what you did over easter.

I went shopping to morrisons for mum today which was good because she didnt have to go then and i carried all the bags back. I felt like id got somthing done. I also spent some time in the garden but its dam cold! I tidyed the pc room a bit which felt rewarding.

I have to go and do some health and safety course in Sutton at the restaurant tomorrow so i am looking forward to that as i will get a certificate for it. Atleast i will feel that i have got somthing interesting and constructive done in the week.

Just to make a point of how bored i am getting and how far i will go to do somthing interesting and rewarding, i rang up the travel agents today! I thought id go to India for a week or week and a half. I have family over there at the moment and so it would be great. Great time pass, love to see the family and definatly interesting. Great story to tell when i get back with the lads at uni in 3 weeks. I can get a ticket leaving on this friday but i cant get back till the 24th which is no good as my first exam is a few days after that. If i could have got the tickets for a week and a half i would have packed my bags and gone!
