Anna Says - Things To Do While Watching Television

Anna's original question was about what to do while watching 'Masterchef', but these lists could cover all manner of hour long television shows.


I find this concept interesting. When I was a kid, we just watched television. We sat. We watched. We sang to the theme songs. We dashed to the loo during the ads. We got up to turn the dial on the television to change the channel. We did not do anything else.


But, all these years later, we try to fit so many things into our lives, that we do multiple things at once. So... here I sit, watching television and writing a blog post about what to do while watching television!


I have broken the ideas I have had (with the help of an intensive think tank with some peeps over lunch) into categories...
