Of late, I have taken to trying to put my phone down at 6.30 when I come in from work and not picking it up again until I go out to work in the morning. I have imposed my draconian regime on Mr. Waffle and the boys also. From when I come home, no one looks at the phone. I’m not saying it works perfectly all the time and sometimes things ping in or there is a phone call but basically we are phone free for most of the evening most of the time. I have a slight tendency to check the phone as I’m going to bed but I am trying to stop. Overall, it’s great for me. Now Mr. Waffle is saying we watch too much telly but, frankly, that’s a bridge too far for me. I’ll keep you posted on our progress towards Victorian evenings.

Does that extend to not looking at the internet at all? I don’t use my phone much in the evening, but only because I’m on the laptop

Yes, it does, generally. Though not tonight as I am on the desktop – NaBloPoMo, I almost forgot – but generally not.

Do you have a functioning land line?

But of course.
