It started with an idea
Can't wait to play with the sky+ app when my mum gets home and FREAK HER OUT 😂😂😂

First came the pausing and fast forwarding of programmes
Right in the middle of her fave programme when she is holding the remote I'm going to put on what I want muhahah

Theories about the paranormal soon formed
My mum now thinks the film she downloaded is haunted 😂 #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
We keep switching to gospel channel so she thinks the whole house is haunted. This is escalating #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Before attempts to find a more reasonable explanation began
She's turned the sky box and Internet off #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Waiting for the box to reboot so we can get this show back on the road #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
At times it looked like the prank may be over
The welcome message was about to@tell her about the sky app THAT WAS CLOSE #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
About to start again. Wanted to leave it a while so she doesn't ring sky thus having to come clean #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
But things soon started escalating again
About to put on a horror. I think she wants to watch a Disney movie #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Exorcist was a good shout. She is MAJORLY freaked. Also she said 'all I wanted to do was watch a bit of johnny depp' too bad #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Second reboot. The conjuring was the tip of the iceberg: 'This has got to be sorted before you leave me' #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Channel 666 and horror channel have made an appearance #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Wifi range proved to be useful
Going to carry on from the garden so she doesn't start getting any suspicions #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Put on the haunting from the garden. My only wish is that it was Halloween today #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
'Honest to god it just started downloading the haunting. Why does it keep downloading all these nasty movies' 😂 #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
'God channel? I didn't even know there was a god channel. Then it was 666' hope it still works now she's unplugging it #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
A qualification in engineering would have been useful
'The scart socket. That was actually hanging out slightly. That could actually have something to do with it' sorry genius #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
She's thinking of changing the box for the old one. Then remembered you need a card to use it PHEWF #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
But after an hour it was time to spill the beans
Think I'm going to come clean now &end it with a bang. Let's try and end this on a high without giving my mum a heart attack #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Will update when she's back in the room. She's checking on the beautiful dinner she's cooking atm. You'd think I'd feel bad #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
There was a lot of risk involved
Think she's peeling veg. I'll leave it a few mins so she doesn't accidentally stab herself. That would be awkward #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Or even worse. I tell her then she stabs me #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
Might have to wait until after tea before she finds out. It smells really good so I don't want to risk not getting any #skyhdprank
— Michelle Gleaves (@michellejg) September 14, 2014
But in the end it was the right thing to do

And mothers still love you no matter what you do
She decided to still feed me. Thanks mum
