participate in tv turnoff week, april 24-30 2006

turn off week…....!!!!!!! :-))))))) Thank you to the two of you who cheered me on though, i am certainly watching less tv now – but spending more time on this website!!!

Sorry, just realised it was 2006 turn off week. Is there a repeat program (excuse the pun) this year???

So this went fine – just took me forever to say I did it :-)

I look back on last week and I did more than I have in a while. played soccer with my kids,had six of my nieces and nephews over, cooked more, etc. I’m going to keep up with this one and watch as little as possible. I’ll pick a few shows I like in the evening and thats it. At least untill winter when I get stuck in the house again.

Sunday was a success. Just my computer and me. My bf was coding w his friend and so, all three of us were busy enough to just enjoy ourselves, without the TV on.
I also think that I kinda “brainwashed ” my bf. Today, we only watch it for 1 hour and we switch it off voluntarily. Amazing !
I wanna thank poulet for inviting me to this goal, I truly enjoyed and challenged myself. One GIGANTIC hug to poulet !

there were some weak moments..monday after work was bad, but i shut it off after a couple of hours. we didn’t watch it at all while we were on vacation, which wasn’t hard. yesterday, though, after i took hubby back to the airport and was tired and bored, i had a “sex and the city” marathon. season three arrived on two dvds before we left for florida. i guess it’s better than mindlessly watching whatever is on, but i spent the whole freakin’ day on the couch. pathetic.

anyway, all in all, i would say this was a good experiment. it has made me more aware of how much time i spend in front of the tube and how much crap there is out there. i’ll have to try to keep the spirit of tv turnoff week alive throughout the year.

Was not even tempted. But I did watch several DVDs.

Sixth day and counting. Feeling the struggle now to switch on the tv, I have been home the whole day, very tempting, the remote is just within my arm’s reach. I have been surfing, reading, and went out to get groceries. It is now 10min to 1800 in CPH. Gotta stay determined to get through saturday.

this goal is going great in a figurative kinda way.”T.v. turnoff week” and I definately have been doing that, but that’s because I keep turning it on! Although it has gotten easier as the week went on, especialy since the weather has been nice everyone has been stopping by. I have a very busy weekened so I don’t think I’ll get a chance to watch it. I did break down last night and had to watch “My name is Earl”for the whole half hour.I Love that show.

I went to a girlfriend’s place for dinner last nite :P guess what was already switched on before we were at her place :) Her bf has the tv on the whole evening and my eyes kept drifting there. However I managed to watch bits and pieces of mtv channel and some news. Kinda like a some dose to keep my nerves down :)
This morning, still no tv when I had breakfast. 5 days and counting.
