It is guiltless bliss. That said we are just about to purchase a house built in 1930s, I have to confess I hope we don't get the same effect.Strolling Foxyhttp://www.exploringnortheastengland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340560222446184520.post-35532983271276579902016-05-10T20:11:25.089+01:002016-05-10T20:11:25.089+01:00I honestly thought you were giving no up the Inter...I honestly thought you were giving no up the Internet. I could do broadband no problem! <br /><br />I do enjoy no internet or mobile days. Leaving all technology at home and going out for the day it's so liberating not constantly checking emails ect <br /><br />V xVictoria Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349787300552065851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340560222446184520.post-66462240180242843502016-05-10T16:06:58.088+01:002016-05-10T16:06:58.088+01:00Technology is threaded through our lives so much e...Technology is threaded through our lives so much especially for the younger generation and I think it would be difficult to give up broadband purely because of the convenience factor for all of us. I agree Samantha that limiting time spent using this is the wise option for us and children. I'm sure your son benefited from the trial and error with his game creating and. I had to laugh at the sound of the dial up...it seems like soooo long ago.

My daughter is quite baffled by the idea she can't just access CBeebies any time she wants when we're away so I'm sure she'd be unimpressed too!MummyTravelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627178134463451452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340560222446184520.post-61752600829679432102016-05-09T07:31:28.838+01:002016-05-09T07:31:28.838+01:00I had pretty much no phone access to anything for ...I had pretty much no phone access to anything for 48 hours last week and I hated every minute, I don't find it freeing at all and as someone who has horrid anxiety I actually got more anxious. I think there are so many things I would rather give up to save money but I salute you for your endurance, you're like the bear grylls of the internet ;)Mandy Charlton, Photographer, Writer, Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10208207198913727021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340560222446184520.post-58820512966614701072016-05-09T07:31:26.059+01:002016-05-09T07:31:26.059+01:00I thought you were going to give up the Internet f...I thought you were going to give up the Internet for a week? Now that would be a huge challenge! But like you say, we grew up without WiFi could probably live without it if needs be. I don't stream music or download films (I'm still a vinyl and dvd kind of girl!) so it probably wouldn't be a big deal really. Well done on giving the kids a glimpse of life without wifi, hopefully it makes them appreciate it more xLife in Geordielandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692054425104609577noreply@blogger.com
