Having my Mother Hog the TV

[skerrywind]

Also follows me around the house. She peers into my bedroom, takes stuff off to iron- Anyone else in this situation?

Yes - not the TV but into everything else.

My solution is to ban her from lifting a finger when she stays with me. Once she's finished checking her emails she gets bored and wanders off to my DSis' home which always needs a good clean. I of course am always happy to supply the spare key.
