    Not much spare time at the momment with Level 3 but if I get the chance DH and I like hiking, either on the Pembrokeshire costal path or up the Brecon Beacons. I always have a book on the go too.
    Why hasn't Gary Barlow come to my rescue yet?

    I enjoy going to theatre, going out for meals and spa treatments, but as all of these cost money I don't do them very often. I think I need to get a life

    I love getting dirty at the weekends

    Now now it's not what you think. I love taking my 4x4 off road and we always end up getting really muddy. I also like riding my Motorcycle, but only in the sunshine.

    Also DIY, and films, I am also looking at taking up Scuba Diving so if any one does this and has any tips or good sites let me know

    I like to make cakes!
    Cake decorating, can't wait to get started on my Xmas cakes.
    I love entertaining too, especially summer bbq parties.
    I wish I could still ride I miss my horses terribly but with a chunk of metal in my hip now and the fact I would have to find a Shire horse to carry me I have to be content to helping occasionally with a friends pony.
    I do like the glossy magazines to read, my guilty pleasure

    I like reading, going to zumba, walking, watching tv/films, spending time with family and friends and going to concerts. I used to cross stitch but don't have the time now.

    Angel, what are your hobbies??
    love Sarah.

    I am loving this thread - its really great to see what everyone loves to do.

    and I see some people have included their music hobbies... well I have to say Take That is not really a hobby - more a lifestyle choice

    oh and Toothfairy - family history is addictive isn't it - I have been doing me and mine's for the last 6 years!

    I don't really have any hobbies! I just have the time or money (and I don't even work full time!)

    I quite like baking and cake decorating. Otherwise my only 'hobby' is the internet I suppose!

    OH and I go the the cinema now and then, and we enjoy eating out but since DS was born we have only eaten out (just the two of us) twice, maybe 3 times.

    What warhammer is it,is it warhammer 40k?
