Have two days off from my regular work. A whole weekend to spend on something that I find relaxing. But, everyday chores must be done so as laundry, cooking, dishwashing and cleaning. They are not some of my favorite chores, but as I said they are not done by themselves. If I could decide, I spend all day in front of my computer. Not that I'm addicted, but because I think it's fun. I also have a small business operating online and earn a few extra pennies to increase my monthly budget so that I can do what I want when I'm online without using my regular salary.

Nice you have the energy to spend some time with friends and family. My son is 19 and are mostly with his friends so here I am on my own. Today I spend it in the laundry room after a week full of durty clothes need to be taken care of. I also need to clean some in the kitchen. I have my food at work, so my son do his cooking on his own, unfortunately he do not take care of the dishes. I also take the time to write letters and get some words out to family outside from my town. However, I also take the time to sleep some.....thanks for responding.

I like to be on the computer in my spare time too. It's not all fun and games for me. I'm online a lot for my online classes and trying to earn money so I don't get to do much surfing just for me. But what I really like to spend time curled up in the arms of my man and watch a movie with him. Sometimes I accidentally fall asleep, but he never gets offended about it.

I always used to be free in my teenage days to play sports or hang out with friends bunking schools and college :D. Now-a-days computer has taken away my attention and I sit down to surf the internet in my free time researching things and ways to earn money :D. I do go out with my friends if they have free time now as all have been earning doing their jobs and I am the only one sitting at home ;). I like to play a lot of sports even now, but alas, Today I have no-one to play with as everybody has been busy with their lives. The only options I have of spending my free time are involving in my hobbies like astrology, photography and chatting with my friends online and offline both :).

Yes, they say we nowdays sit to much rather than do sports and movements becouse of our little mashineI do move a lot at work, so when I do get home I found it relaxing just to sit down and use my head online chatting, discuss and have fun with freinds in mylot, facebook and other social network places. I even chat with people in skype.

aha family quality timethe best way to use that free time
24 Oct 10
I like mixing things up. When I'm aware ahead of time that I will have say a day free, I like to do family activities as this is something I very much enjoy doing. We're trying to be able to start doing things like this more often, although that's easier said than done. After Christmas we're hoping to go away for a short break, as our holiday passed by pretty quickly. I like browsing the net, relaxing and playing sports. It makes a nice change from daily tasks, such as shopping, working etc

Family is the first thing on the list when you have a day of or the weekend. However, sicne I work with people I feel it is nice to spend some time alone without people and unfortunately even my family. We are four sisters and we all have the same profession so we do have an understanding when we do not see each other that often as we should. But I like be alone, online chatting without talking.

I like to sit and enjoy the quiet, listen to the birds for awhile before going on line and do what I do to make some money. Or I might just take a nap.

I try to listen to inspirational messages to help me relax and have a better frame of mind. I also like to spend time in the parks feeding the birds and ducks and walking around observing the plants and flowers.

I like to water the plant in my home garden if I get time free time in the morning. If I get free time in the evening, I used to relax for sometime and then I will be with the computer with internet.

good on you, I forget to water my plants so they always die on me. I have realized I am not a gardener and therefore I am looking for flowers to use in my windows in plastics. It is really expensive to buy new plants each week. I do not know why I always forget to water them, but I do.

I spend most of my free time either reading an interesting book or watching my favourite tv programmes other than being on my laptop. Sometimes if I am free I go to visit a friend and have coffee and catch up with them or I will go out to the neares shopping mall for browse around the shops.

Although I have two free days during the weekends, I won't just sit in the front of the computer to go online. I shall be online when I have something to do, when I am free, when I couldn't sleep during the night and so on. I prefer to allocate my times to resolve most of my personnal matters. Certain weekends, I shall travel outstation too. In order to make my daily living more colourful, I don't follow the fix program for my weekends. If there is any new function, I might join in too for the weekends.

I cant say more than I agree with you. But personally this time of the year I hate to be outdoors. Traveling is not my way of relaxing. However I use my TV to get mor colorful life to learn certain stuff. Like watching real fact programs like nature, medecine, and crimes programs. I also like to listen to programs with different debates. I watch programs where people redo their life and homes and get inspired of programs where cooks do different dishes that I can eat as long as it is healthy food. We do have different ways to find time for relaxing.

I too spend much of my free time online. I spend about 7 hours a day on the computer. I also like to play piano and sing my songs on it. I also like to run in my free time. I really should do it more. Currently I only run twice a week. Today I ran in a 10K race and actually ran for all of it. It was fun too. Now if only I can increase my speed along with my endurance.

On the weekend, I try to spend less time on the computer, because I am online all the time during the week. I do have my regular chores, then I like to go somewhere with my husband, go to church on Sunday, work on home improvement projects, and today I am doing a lot of baking. I like to sew and do crafts as well.

I do like to get online when I am free, to make extra money, or do chatting with friends, and to learn something new from online. That is my favorite stuff when I am free. I also like to watch DVD and movies, sounds really boring isn't it?

my favorite thing to do when im free would be going shopping, the movies, or staying home and surf the web all day long. (no literally) lol i'm in school, work a part time job, and work online at home. seems like i'm a busy person. but if i'm not studying, working, or i'm finished doing all my assignments online. i'm pretty much free to do anything else. i'm still young, i think finding time for yourself and having fun is a most definitely need! have a good one!
