I think I would do much better then my husband.. :)  The electricity went out some time ago, but only long enough for me to get the Billy Boiled on the BBQ... Of course by the time hubby got up the electricity was back on and he could make coffee.. LOL I settled for my Billy tea...

I forgot my mother sent me a billy up until that day I needed to boil the water... 

I could even wash and dry my clothes if needed.. :)

But I'd be screwed with out my BBQ... :) 

I know I couldn't

I like my creature comforts and a hot cup of tea and an hot radiator in the evenings is one of my theories that is an absolute essential !!!!!!!!

Besides no electric = no computer=no minti=no friends LOL

I don't think I could to be honest.I'd hate to wash all of our clothes by hand.Plus I don't like the dark and would miss my lights.I like candles but not when there are eerie shadows on walls and stuff.Gives me the willies!!

Yes, I could survive if ALL electricity and gas ceased to exist at all. I just finished writing an advice along those lines last night. LOL I can cook on a fire and wash clothes by hand as well as live without everything else. Did it for years. I'd miss Minti though.

I know I could survive for a few days but other than that I really like my modern conveniences so I wouldn't want to be without them for too long...

I lived on a property in an area where we were always having blackouts, now they didn't mean just no electricity that meant no water.....  It made life hell but we got used to the interruptions and we learned to live with it......  We used to cook on a little gas camp stove lol and believe me I even cooked baked dinners so it can be done.....  But as for been without internet well no I couldn't, its my only way of staying in touch with my sister and that I could not live without.....  As for a mobile, no problem I have one but it never has credit on it so I don't use it anyway!!!  All these things just make our life more pleasant and easier especially with such fast busy lives x

Yes no problem, lived with my gran for six months of every year and she had nothing but electric light and a wireless. The worst part was the cold in the morning, and no hot water first thing to wash in, brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Tell you though, the lack of facilities made for a lot of community interaction and sharing.

yep, even without the washing machine too!  Having modern conveniences is great, make parenting a lot easier, but without them, well, I'd pretty soon get cracking, cleaning and doing washing.

yes if you don't have it you don't use it.  When we went to the west for 7weeks 4 wheel driving I didn't miss my computer once.  I didn't even use it really for about 2 weeks when we came back now I can't do with out it.  but if I had to yeah sure.

I never use my mobile anyway so that wouldn't be a problem.

The dishwasher I could not live with out when we go up to my in laws, they have no dishwasher and I always wish they had one.  My partner comes from a large family so when they are all there and wifes and kids there is alot to wash up LOL Oh and dry.  

I could do it if I had to....  We would love to move to the country one day that is our dream.

i would actually prefer to live of the land completely. if i had the money to buy a farm and live there with out the worry of money id live with out electricity, like in the old days. i think it would be way more peaceful. id miss my washer and my internet tho.
