As a newbie, just wondered what else you get up to in ya' spare time?

Other than the family stuff with me 2 young nippers, it's mainly cycling or working on me camper. :thumbsup:

Got back into the mountain biking over the last couple of months so me road bikes have been parked up, its great to get back on the trails with some of the lads I used to go clubbing with, it's like when we were kids all out on BMX's again!

In my spare time I think about work, get stressed out about things I forgot to do at work, so I go back to work. At times it bites arse having your own business :(

I do try and get a few shots on the 360 or watch a few films as having the 3 young kids being 50 odd miles away from anything its hard and expensive to get a night out.

I do like walking which I do in the cooler weather with my dog, summer there are too many snakes, mosquito's etc and its too damn hot. One day I may join the exclusive lists of "guy walking dog finds human body"

In my spare time I normally spend it with friends, family or Butty. There's normally a wedding, birthday or something else going on. I like being busy, although this can be stressful at times. I like to just relax and do nothing though when the opportunity arises as it's a rare thing for me.

Also in my spare time I love to shop... or I'm normally catching up on things I need to sort out.... booooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!! :)

Trying to get back into reading so buying 2nd hand books off of Amazon at the mo. Peruse a couple of other websites, listen to the radio, watch the footie and water the garden.. in the main. I save the socialising until the weekend.

In the week, I sometimes play a little baskert ball, got a small outdoor court about 50 yards from my house, or sometimes play a little dungeons and dragons online. Weekends are reserved for either doing stuff with my family, having a mix or wandering about in the dark with a metal detector. I also fish and my job, photography, is also more of a hobby to me than a chore.:D

sparetime, when it comes around I like to experiment in the kitchen with food, read books of various topics and spend time in my Mr Benn spare room - dressing up :p

I love shopping too .. Im a bad Ebay freak lol .. I spend too long looking for things i don't need. And ukhotdeals :condom: Iv bought the randomest shite ya can imagine . Best being 2 alarm clocks from Hong Kong that play 'we wish you a merry christmas ' every day (I didnt know this when purchasing - for the record) . . they were only £1.20 tho and light up dead good colours.. Im rambling now.

Yeah they're ace, very entertaining especially when you get more than one in the garden......they fight like anything and zoom around chasing each other everywhere. Only prob is they eat all the bird food too, I've tried putting wire everywhere but they can fit thru the smallest of holes (blackbird size holes).

I had some pigeons too but a nasty cat went and ate one of them so now my garden is catproof with wire and a pressure washer outside the patio doors lurking just in case an unsuspecting one gets in ;) :D

I like your style.. Im imagining the Carling black label squirrels round your way:D
my only encounter with one was in Clacton on sea a few years back.. we were sat on a bench with fish and chips and it jumped up on the bench, really cheekily hung about so we gave it half our lunch. We have photos of it chomping on on of the kids fish fingers ,brazen as ya like.. lol:eek:
