1. Phone up your friends and invite them over for a video-watching extravaganza. Get the popcorn, Doritos and other munchies ready before everyone arrives, set out some nice squishy cushions for people to sit on, (remember to keep some handy for hiding behind during scary bits!), and make sure you have enough tissues if you’re gonna be watching some soppy movies!

2. If you’re lucky enough to be connected to the Internet, get on a chatroom and make a new mate! Remember to swap email addresses so that you can stay in touch. Alternatively, check out some of the cool links we have found for you, (see bottom of article).

3. Take your boyfriend or girlfriend out for a walk. Wrap up warm and brave the rain, then when you come back you can dry yourselves off and share a huge mug of hot chocolate. How romantic ;o)

4. Pretend you are a famous artist and get creative!  Do some painting or drawing, and even if it ends up looking a mess you will still have found something to occupy yourself with, while the weather is busy ruining a perfectly good day for a game of footie.

5. Write out your Christmas list! So what if it’s ages away?! There’s nothing wrong with being organised!

6. Get in the kitchen and experiment with whatever ingredients you can find. When your culinary delight is finished, get your family round the table for a massive tasting session. Remember to tidy up afterwards, or comments from your Mum could be a lot less complimentary!

7. How about getting a bunch of mates together and going down to your local swimming pool? Take a beach ball to mess about with, and have a competition to see who can swim the fastest.

8. Hunt down your subbuteo set, (or nick your brother’s if you’re a girlie), and get some friends over for THE football tournament of the year.

9. Re-arrange your entire bedroom. It might sound boring, but if you put some music on and get cracking it might have stopped raining when you’re finished. Your room will probably end up looking like more of a bombsite than it did before, so just tell your Mum it’s your next rainy day project!
