What I like to do on my laptop!

Laptops have become more than just tools for work, they’re also portals to endless entertainment. Whether I'm winding down after a long day or just looking for a way to pass the time, my laptop is my go to device for fun. I spend a lot of time on my laptop, less than I used to but definitely on an evening you can find me sat in my armchair with it on my knee.

These are the things which I like to do on my laptop:

Blogging!
Of course! I do all of my blogging on my laptop. I have read that some people blog from their phones or a tablet but I could not imagine doing that. With blogging comes reading other people's blogs too which I do on a daily basis and I really enjoy.

Making playlists!
I love making a good playlist on Spotify. I have a playlist for every mood, season and occasion. I even have a couple full of songs that I've heard on TikTok which I keep adding too.

Shopping!
Shopping is so much easier now I can do it online. Sometimes I will just add things to my basket and never buy those things and other times I am on a mission to buy birthday or Christmas presents. My favourite website to browse is Shein, I know sometimes people frown upon Shein but I like it, it's cheap, the clothes always seem to fit me well and there's the make up which comes at a bargain price too.

Reading about the soaps!
I love reading about what's coming up in the likes of Eastenders, Corrie, Emmerdale, Neighbours and Hollyoaks. Yes, I could just watch and see what happens but I like to know what is coming!

Pinterest!
I have love scrolling through Pinterest getting ideas for various things like home decor, recipes and tattoos that I will probably never get.

Chatting!
I speak to more people online than I do in real life and I love the chats that I have with those people. Whether it be through email or Messenger. I do love hearing from them.

Gaming!
I used to be a big gamer playing World of Warcraft but now there's only a few games that I play. The Sims 4 of course, I can easily play it for hours, controlling the life of my Sims, building houses and designing new characters. Candy Crush, Cooking Fever and Hearthstone which is a spin off from World of Warcraft. The game is a turn based card game between two opponents, using constructed decks of 30 cards along with a selected hero with a unique power. Players use their limited mana crystals to play abilities or summon minions to attack the opponent, with the goal of destroying the opponent's hero.

Browsing houses for sale!
I love looking at houses for sale on websites like Zoopla or Right Move. Sometimes I will be realistic and look for houses locally that we could buy if we saved a little and sometimes I will look further afield at houses which cost millions. I can dream!

Streaming Movies and TV Shows!
When the rest of my family are watching the TV and it's not something I am interested in, one of my favourite ways to relax is by popping my headphones on and watching something off Disney+ or Netflix.

Reddit! 
I am new to reading threads on Reddit. You can go on there and read about a specific topic but I like to just go to the main page and scroll through until something grabs my attention and it really isn't long before I've lost an hour and fell down a rabbit hole of reading about Karen asking if she is the ass hole for cheating on her husband after he donated a kidney to her. Some of the threads on there are absolutely crazy and I love it!

  3. This would be my list as well with the addition of looking up British actors! We'll be watching something on TV and have one of those "Where have I seen him or her before?" and it's off to Wikipedia or IMDB to check their filmography!

  5. I am with you and am so glad I have a laptop! I like to look at houses as well, but I do it realistically since I have a move in my future. I love Pinterest and get on there to browse and dream a lot. This was a fun read!

  6. So many fun things to do on a laptop it’s hard to remember life before computers! I leave my laptop at work and do some blogging during my lunch breaks. I use my phone or iPad to browse, online shop and watch movies. But using smaller devices is getting harder as my eyes are failing me more and more every year! Yikes!!
