When boredom hits, there are actually a million and one different things that you can try for a little bit of excitement. You can watch television or possibly a movie, or perhaps read a book... but you will discover only a lot of times you may watch or read the exact same thing before that too becomes boring. You can play board games or cards... but you generally need to have other people playing to make that work. You may go out places and do things... but that will be expensive, you could not want to go out on your own, you could not be convenient to leave the house, excellent football or it might simply be pouring down with rain and blowing a gale - not really going out weather!

So what can you do then?
