something to do!

sometimes when im sat at home whilst i uni i quickly get bored. I feel like i need something to do, something that will give me a sense of achievement!

So what can anyone suggest that is fairly cheap? something that i can do in a small space and doesnt take up much room. Can be absolutly anything! Just something to keep me entertained!

Cheers Guys

Mikkel

i did try to make the post not lead to this... (hence saying in a small place, and not in my room, and saying entertaining instead of satisfying!)

But thanks ben, will bear that in mind...

anyone any suggestions for things i can do when not doing bens suggestion

I got a blow football as a joke xmas present, but with a mate it's bloody hilarious (for about ten mins)
Just a thought.

Or, you could try different porn to what you normally watch. Might find something else your into

Or build a megajolt.... about £50. Too much??? Soldering is fun

Build a 1:18 scale replica of your car. Out of student stuff...... I'm thinking empty beer cans, instant noodles and dirty clothes*

*Other clichéd student items are also available

Get yourself some airfix type models... some of them are pretty challenging..... Or a decent but abused RC car off ebay and rebuild it... modify it etc...


Or learn a new skill..... learn to write PHP or something... :p

over the years i have learnt how to do loads of things. Normally what my friends can already do some they cant. These include at various levels; going cross eyed, wiggling my ears, juggling, whistling loudly with any combination of two, three or four fingers, devil stick juggling, card throwing, playing a digirydoo (cant spell it though!). Just for starters! They are all fun, good sense of achievement, small and cheap!
You could always work out doing situps, press ups and things. I can do a one hand press up too!

Thanks for all the input guys, will look into the RC car or possibly the guitar! Played guitar ages ago in primary school, would be nice to pick it up again

as for the left hand thing, learnt that a while back, good with a bit of variation!

Build a car!! (from paper)

http://www.ne.jp/asahi/shift-down/austin/papermodel/papermodel.htm
There are quite a few print out and make car plans if you look around.

Or I built a 'billings' model boat (wooden kit). They are quire expensive kits to buy, but in terms of £/hr, pretty cheap!

those paper models look pretty cool, although also look very fiddly!

Some sort of model would be good
