Now i’ve been enjoying full time employment for jst over a year i find i have no or very little time for my hobby and when i do get days off i’m to tired to work on my boats .This is so frustrating it’s like waiting for a shoplifter to leave the shop with stolen goods .Dont get me wrong i enjoy my job but 66hr weeks can take it out of you a bit !!!!!!!!!!

But ho ho ho not long to christmas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andy,

When things like this happen and time gets tight, today Model Boating can still be enjoyed by buying a good RTR.

I have a Hobby Engine ‘Southampton’ tug, but their are others. They are great fun, and can be sailed whenever a window of opportunity appears. A model maker will always have something ready to go, whilst the ‘work of art’ is under construction.

Tony.

Surely its all a matter of time/task management Andy! (don’t take the following to seriously) In a week there are 168hrs – 56 for sleeping = 112 – 66 working = 46 now thats a full working week of time to eat drink and make models so with 184hrs a month where’s the problem? over one week a month to play with boats
