I have to admit, this whole not watching TV thing has been easier than I thought - except on Saturday nights. After being at netball for most of the day, then to the pub from the customary post-natch bevvies, there really is nothing better than coming home and curling up in front of the telly for some relaxing.
But you'll all be pleased to know I have resisted, and given that I lost my netball final today - BOO! - I'm thinking this issue will abate. As Emunchkin mentions in her latest post though, I to am getting a litte sick of sitting on the bed in the bedroom so I suspect an alternative nook needs to be uncovered for me to settle myself in.
The good things about no TV though is I don't think our house has stayed this tidy for this long in a very long time - actually ever! Additionally lunches and morning teas are made and packed the night before which gives me time to actually do some exercise in the morning instead of rushing about like I was a mere 11 or so days ago.
On the downside, I have discovered an alarming addiction to on-line hidden object games. Do you know the ones? You find them on sites like Shockwave.com or games.com and the idea is to find a list of objects buried within a picture of complete chaos, put some back into their proper locations and solve puzzles along the way. So after I've pottered about, done the dishes, made lunches and had a bit of a general tidy up I've found myself immersed into this hidden object world, catching killers, travelling the world and helping unhappy ghosts "move on."
I'm surprised at how addictive I've found it and wonder whether I would've felt the same way had TV still occupied some of my down time. I guess there's only one way to find out but I've still got 20 days to wait before I can test the theory :-)
