Channel Hopping Chaos
Flicking back and forth when adverts hit, desperately trying not to miss the start of Raven’s challenges or CITV’s jungle coins. Remote control = power.
Homework? What Homework?
“I’ll do it after one more episode.” … *four hours later* you’ve accidentally watched all of My Parents Are Aliens and Blue Peter is teaching you how to make something out of toilet rolls. 🎨
Daisy says: “Babes, the real after-school curriculum was: snack, sofa, telly, repeat. No notes.”
