I ditched the computer until evening, took my walk, taught my girls a crochet stitch... it was totally refreshing and I feel ready to go again today! I am also not a fan of FB, so I like your idea. I was never sure if dumping my personal page would allow me to keep my business page, now I know. I'll have to think about that, I never check in anyway... ;)Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287542957454202351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645781179931343883.post-43400232586406204482011-04-21T21:00:22.888+10:002011-04-21T21:00:22.888+10:00ahhhh toni - I feel bad I sent you an email now!!!...ahhhh toni - I feel bad I sent you an email now!!! anyways - i also have forever hated that aspect of facebook - and blog land too - all that non-personal contact so good on you!!

But I know that I will soon feel the other way around as I will be working as an in home Educarer. Something I am very passionate about. I think I will be dedicating a house wifey day of my own once a month atleast.<br /><br />ps home made pasta sauce is the best. I will be making up green tomato relish as my tomatos are still fruiting and I need to pull them out so I can plant my winter veges next week.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16923881879185304739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645781179931343883.post-20394565464207505832011-04-21T16:48:52.086+10:002011-04-21T16:48:52.086+10:00If you hadn't mentioned pruning your FB friend...If you hadn't mentioned pruning your FB friends list I would never have noticed!!!!

I recently deactiviated my facebook page for about 4 weeks.<br />The break was great..what a time waster it can be and I agree it alters the way we then socialise in person. I would meet people in the street or clients of my business and I would know everything about their lives already and talk about to them as though I was nosey parker !!<br />As i had my tan bar business page on there I still deactiviated but made my mum and admin of my bus page so i could still log in under her and not be tempted to stalk my facebook wall every day !<br />I am very inspired by "house wifey" day and think I will have one soon... thanks so much for the inspiration!Cara Tatnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14170958978158030786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645781179931343883.post-9553979325588110212011-04-21T14:26:18.334+10:002011-04-21T14:26:18.334+10:00I can totally relate to everything you have just w...I can totally relate to everything you have just written Toni.I long for those days so am currently in the process of eliminating a couple of things from my life too so I can have a few more of them.

I call myself a work at home/stay at home Mum but I never stop any more.<br />As soon as the girls go back to school I am scheduling a housewife day.<br />Thanks for the push I needed. xKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234467488696653117noreply@blogger.com
