Ahh, it warms the cockles of my heart to know there are others like me. 

I have a severe allergy to TV - not that I dont watch it ever, but when I do I 
feel like Im wasting my life. Id really like my daughter to not spend her life 
in front of the idiot box, and was glad when recently my missus decided that 
watching 'Nemo' for the 50th time probably wouldnt be as enriching as making 
paper hats and potato stamps with mum. On a trip down to Wanneroo markets 
yesterday we stocked up on all the necessities - pipe cleaners, PVA glue, 
beads, small fridge magnets etc

TV is evil.
