We had a telephone for about three months until the bill came in and a TV for about the same time for the same reason. I remember you could rent re-furbished TVs much more cheaply than the new ones, and I did in my first bedsit, even though the colour was only in the yellow orange range 😂. I don't have a TV at all now, too many other things to do. I'm even going back to reading (and buying) real books.

Lovely to see you writing, hope you're feeling so much better in every way ❤️.
