I've been doing this for the past two weeks! I ended up just flicking through the TV channels all the time and endind up getting less done than usual
House Sitting!!
I'm BORED!! I don't think I can take it much longer!! I'm looking after my house for my parents while they are away and I have nothing to do!! They left me in charge for a week, supplied me with food and drink and went on holiday!! I've been alone for 3 hours now (my boyfriend stayed the weeked so I was ok then) and i've nearly eaten my self out of house and home casue I have nothing else to do!! I've come to the conclusion that I could never live alone!! It's too hard!! I was even bored enough to watch the repeat of Tim getting evicted from the BB house again!! Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can pass the long hours till next saturday please?!?!

Take up a new hobby (I find crafts like knitting, sewing, quilling, crossstitch very relaxing and time consuming)
Do something you always wanted to do but never got round to.
Go Window Shopping
Have a clear out of your room (!)
Tidy the house(!)
Just a few to keep you going?

Invite some mates round, or call up and arrange a meet up.
You must have a friend that is heartbroken/upset/depressed right now, so why not try and cheer her up?
Or else follow Lioness' ideas, coz they are good

Do a jigsaw, I love them, they always keep me occupied, you can while away many hours pondering over them!
Or you could paint/draw something, I always find that relaxing too

You could ......
Seal up all the doors and windows, fill the house with water and turn it into a big aquarium-type-thing.
Invite 10 strangers to move in, film them for 9 weeks and sell the footage to Channel 4.
Got lots and lots of sweets and decorate the whole house to resemble the one from Hansel and Gretel.
Squeeze every item of furniture into one room, then you'll have loads of free space which you can turn into a gym or a disco or something.
Re-enact over and over again that scene from Risky Business where Tom Cruise, dressed in a shirt, Y-fronts, socks and sunglasses, slides down the corridor and dances around to some music.
Read a book.
Take the house apart brick by brick, carefully labeling each one, then rebuild it somewhere else (Croydon for example) so that when your parents get back they'll be all confused 'n' stuff.
Take up origami and make life-size models of dinosaurs and elephants and Bill Oddie.
Hold a massive indoor music festival with all the most rockin' bands that ever existed ever. And Bros too.
Put your time to good use by solving the age old philosphical conundrum "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
Work on your martial arts skills. The evil lemons are out there, you need to train if you want to slay them.
Look into a mirror and say "Candyman" five times. That'll kill some time.
Or you could try coming up with stupid lists of things!
Being alone in an empty house can be really cool, but it can also get very depressing. The suggestions above (errrr, the ones that aren't mine that is!) are all pretty cool. And if you get lonely there's plenty of friendly faces online!

Have a in-house beach party, a puppet making competition, a darts match, throwing ball in the hoop, divide house in two halfs, (presuming you have two tiolets, if not improvise, neighbours will understand) circus acts, a roller disco, followed by major slanging match with self, bet on your mates in egg and spoon races, or make an obstacle course and blindfold oneself to go round it, alternatively drink oneself into a blind stupor, eat like a 'Jade', Bitch and whine about everyone not in the house with you, Have major row with self, and threaten to 'deck' oneself, if said 'oneself' does not shut-up.
What!!!
It occupied a few people for a few weeks!!

Oh My God, is this the worst case of Spikelitis we've seen? Someone should do something! (But not me, I'm not going near him, I don't wanna catch it...)
