Have you heard of this thing called Spare Time? It sounds fantastic and lots of people seem to have it. I have a very vague memory of having some when I was little and then again when I was a student and actually, up until the time when I had kids I'm sure I had some knocking around somewhere, but I just cannot seem to lay my hands on any now. I've even looked on eBay and they don't have any. Amazon don't stock it and neither do Tesco. Which leaves me a tad puzzled.
The reason why I'm looking for this elusive Spare Time is because I never seem to have enough time, so the prospect of having some 'spare' simply beggars belief. Imagine having some 'spare' time. Brilliant!
And what would I do if I did get some of this Spare Time? Well, I'm not entirely sure to be honest. It all depends on whether it comes in bits, or whether it's in one big lump that you have to use up all at once. I suppose I could use it to sort out the permanent jumble sale going on in the cupboards, drawers and wardrobes dotted around my house. Or I might use it to have lots of uninterrupted cups of tea, or to read some books, or to actually write the bloody book I keep threatening to write. Then again, I might be tempted to just keep it hidden away in a special, pretty box somewhere and just look fondly at it every now and again to remember the good old days when I had loads of it.
So, if you know where I can get some Spare Time, even if it's just a really tiny bit, or maybe you have some of your own that you don't want any more, please let me know. It would be going to a very grateful and very careful owner.
There is spare time to be had between the hours of 2am and 6am, but sadly you risk dying of sleep deprivation to experience this.

If you find where it's hidden, can you let me know, please?
ReplyDeleteThe only bit I have managed to eeek out for myself is by setting my alarm at 5am. Gives me an hour to blog and jog. How sad is that.
ReplyDeleteI have the answer for you my dear! Don't sleep then you'll have loads of spare time. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have managed to garner 45 seconds of spare time today, just enough time for me to finish this comm....
ReplyDeleteSomeone sets their alarm for 5am to have time to blog and jog?? OMG!! I have about ten mins spare now. Although seeing as the dishwasher needs emptying and I have to wash up after supper it's not really spare, is it?
ReplyDeleteSpare time? I'm sure I had some once... (Great post, really made me giggle.)
ReplyDeleteWhenever I do have spare time I instantly feel under pressure to DO something, anything. But what should I do? I can't remember. Then by the time I decide what to do, it's over. Time up. Damn it.
ReplyDeleteHa! If only I had enough time for some to myself and some to give to you, I would gladly do it! But I scrape my spare time out of the midnight crevices which leaves me bleary eyes and grouchy as a momzilla. Good luck finding yours and I wanna read that book when you finish it!!!
ReplyDeleteSpare time? What on earth's that? It's nearly midnight and finally I have some 'me time'.
ReplyDeletespare time is the time when we blog is it not!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, hang on I blog with children shouting me want puter!
