Default What would you do with a month off work?

Need suggestions. I got the next month off work, paid of course, but got nowt to do.

Cant over do it as I have pulled back muscles, so sitting or bending for too long gets very painful.

But I really do need to stay busy. Last time I was off for this long I went mad!

Teach yourself guitar or something worthwhile

Just back from 3 weeks off myself and close to suicidal by the end of the 3rd week................




think that was more due to the thought of going back to work though !!

Guttin thing is, a lot of the stuff that needs doing is heavy stuff, and with my back I cant do it

Other stuff I can, but its really annoying.
As for the gym, would love to be able to again, but with the back the way it is

Crap eh

Could pick my daughter up from school. But I dont know that her mum would be too impressed, or that she would have any idea who the hell I am.

When you're done on there, giz a prod if you're interested. I have a site i'm trying to complete and i'm sure your touch on it would be good.

Cheeky, i know. You don't ask you don't get.

I'd probably try my hand at share trading. Take an amount that I could afford to lose and see what happens.

Always wanted to try it, but never got round to it. Or is it that I never have any money I can afford to lose
