Goal 29 (Watch no television for a week) – Done
July 12th, 2009
Month completed: July 2009
This is the space in our new house that a TV should be.
However, since Nat and I moved into our new house a month ago, we have not gotten round to purchasing a TV (the old house had one already, but this one didn’t).
And after a month without TV, I must say I am out of the habit of watching it. With books to read (I am currently on the fourth Harry Potter), a wedding to plan (more on that later), and late nights of work, TV has not been a necessity.
And right now, we are in no rush to change that.
The only thing I do miss is the Ashes, which just started, and would have been good to flick on this weekend.

I would ask how the TV is in England but judging from this post your probably the wrong person to ask. You’re definitely not missing much in the Ashes apart from the Aussies getting their arse kicked. However the Tour de France has been pretty entertaining.

Hi.. The wife and self took a conscious decision to remove the TV from our lives and also help our son focus on more important “normal” things. The results have been fantastic, we as a family spend more time toegether, have started doing new activities which in the past we would never have dreamt of. Most importantly, it is helping our son to seek out more friends, play outdoors and read a lot.
I will sincerely recommend it for all those who are toying with it. Believe me, it is not as difficult as it seems. Go ahead and try it, you will not be disappointed.
Cheers
