It can sometimes be a bit tricky for us ladies to think of just the right way to spend our precious leisure time, don’t you think? With a thousand and one things on our minds at any given moment, we’ve got to make the very most of our ‘me time’. Sometimes, when we’re lucky, that means spa days, pampering, coffee mornings and girls nights in or out. Unfortunately, we can’t always have it so good, and often only get the chance to sit back and relax for the occasional ten minutes of respite in our own homes.
Online Leisure Time Tips
Take a video break
There are loads of websites out there that offer you an amazing variety of video clips and full TV episodes and movies at the click of a button. Sign up to a service like Netflix to enjoy all the latest big Hollywood releases, or catch up with your favourite drama and entertainment shows on BBC iPlayer or 4OD. Too time-consuming? You can watch shorter snippets of just about anything under the sun on YouTube, from tasty recipes to celebrity gossip.
Have a little flutter
As any lady of leisure knows, you can’t beat the thrill of a little flutter. Bookmakers websites offer you the chance to bet on the geegees from your own home, whilst sites like ChitChat Bingo afford you all the social pleasures of a girls’ night out with the added thrill of a cheeky bet on some online bingo games! For those of us with a penchant for an even saucier gamble there are thousands of online gaming sites out there that offer a range of casino games, from slots to poker.
Learn something new
For ladies with enquiring minds, you simply can’t beat the internet. Find your way to sites like eHow, which offer practical advice on just about anything under the sun, whether that’s sewing patches or fixing a punctured bicycle tyre – swot up and wow your family with your practical know-how!
Catch up with a friend
Fed up with being stuck in the house? Purchase yourself a web-cam (many laptops are already fitted with them) and download Skype. You’ll be able to make video calls to friends and relatives literally around the globe, free of charge. This is a great way to have a good natter without the hassle of going out. Not looking your best? Turn the camera off, make your excuses and simply enjoy a video call!
