watch less tv

Have managed to turn the tv off for about three hours every afternoon and think might manage longer if can convince my husband that he doesn’t need to watch tv for the sake of it. We sadly have Sky and with however many hundreds of channels not one of them seems to show anything that isn’t either rubbish, a repeat or just unoriginal and what is with the recaps and the showing what is coming up at the beginning and half way through programmes. It must cut down original content to about 10 mins on a half hour programme. It drives me mad but anyway mostly I want to do this so that my baby doesn’t get too addicted to tv. How I long for the days back when you only had three channels and lots of test card detail to look at and ceefax pages overnight. Has improved my reading no end and considering my other goals seemed to be entirely focused on massive reading lists think I could probably do with the time back.
