I have a job where I really don't have to think hard at all and i'm worried that my brain will turn to Mush.
I've seen those adverts on TV about the Nintendo handheld brain training software. I dont really fancy paying for a product without knowing what its like. Is there any where online that you can do this sort of thing and see the results?

i don't know about anywhere on line exactly but i know of a gaming website where there are loads of free puzzles to keep the brain ticking over.

I've also tried the Brain training DS game and it really works, but it's based on daily practise and after a month i got fed up. So i would recommend things like logic puzzles etc..instead and there a lot cheaper.

I'm not sure about brain training software, but puzzles (I would say something like Sudoku [?] too) help to keep your mind stimulated and your circuitry strong.
Creative endeavors will stimulate your visual cortex and can evoke emotional responses and are, again, good for brain functioning.
Mental exercise can also help delay the onset of Alzheimer's, so you're wise to want to keep up with your brain health.
Learning new information is a GREAT way to broaden your mind. You could pick a topic and research to your heart's content, especially if it was in a field that you might want to persue after you move on from your current job (it seems as though you will do that eventually). You could consider this 'independent study'. You won't get university credit, but you can still apply the knowledge.
Good luck!

Challanging brain games are a great way to activate the minds (and even wear it out :P). Try games like Sudoku, or play something like Literati on Y! games.
Just make sure you do something, anything, mentally engaging. Even if it's just thinking about a deep subject...
