Cheap weekend activities

I caused a car accident about five weeks ago now :(.  I’m so sorry for the hassle that I caused the other party and I’m not too happy with myself, as I have to pay for the repairs to my car (I only had 3rd party insurance coz my car is cheap).  So, while I have the money available, I want to spend as little as possible so that I can replace it into my savings asap. I did a brainstorm last night of things I could do this weekend that don’t involve me spending much.

  • Visit the library
  • Do some baking
  • Craft – crochet, make a model etc.
  • Listen to music
  • Go for a walk
  • Play a musical instrument
  • Go out for a coffee and some cake
  • Housework, cleaning, laundry
  • Play old-school video games
  • Laze in bed / sleep
  • Produce some resources for school
  • Read any of the millions of books I have piling up
  • Go swimming
  • Trawl magazines for pictures and cut out the most inspiring
  • Watch a DVD
  • Peruse a borders store
  • Blog and search the internet
  • Play a board game – monopoly, chess etc.
  • Grab a camera and immerse self in a photo project
  • Find stuff that I can sell to make up for my loss
  • Check out what is on TV – might be a good movie or doco
  • Go out for a cheap brunch
  • Check out if there are any free gigs, shows etc. on
  • Get someone to give me a massage
  • Volunteer work
  • Scour op-shops
  • Try something new – skateboarding, roller-skate, drawing etc.
  • Search online auctions for the cup and saucer set I want
  • Go somewhere interesting, i.e. the tunnels built during the war at Devonport, Auckland.
  • Re-arrange the furniture in a room
  • Do some gardening
  • Go to the museum
  • Pack a picnic
  • Lounge around with friends / family
  • Wash the car that has made me a spendthrift

Anyone have any other ideas?  I hope everyone else is having more interesting and exciting weekends.
