What are you doing instead of watching the football?

I thought I'd put headphones on and sew, but the noise of the machine bothers the watchers. In any case, I have to have the headphones on too loud for comfort in order to block out the noise of the football!

I'm making a lemsip whilst trying to decide if double dosing on paracetamol is a really bad idea.....(I know it is don't worry I won't take too much.....but the only lemsips we have are the flu ones and I'm not due another cetamol yet....).

I’m watching girlboss on Netflix, it’s quite good. Others are watching footie outside where they belong Grin

I do have my fingers crossed we win though Football Football

But, as I have never watched football I’ve figured I can’t watch it now in case I jinx anything.

Crime documentaries...Scott Peterson right now.

Lying in bed feeling like shit, I have bastard tonsillitis that is so painful I can’t swallow without coughing, resulting in more pain, a blocked nose that won’t budge, and I ache all over. My face hurts.

And I have to go collect antibiotics tomorrow when I can barely walk from the bed to the toilet.

@NCSistineChapel couldn’t you keep the little one up to be part of it.?
It’s a big occasion 😀

Hope you get to enjoy the game ⚽️

@Theblackdogagain

I'm in my bedroom, eating crisps and watching season 4 of house.
I’m watching season 2 of House!

Just playing around on line - going to walk the dog before the tribes start with the fireworks later. Can't believe the scenes in London. Any Mumsnetters there, take care

Watching The Fugitive and trying to feed baby to sleep

SheABitSpicyToday · 11/07/2021 20:14

@babbi Thankyou Flowers

Half watching while I sort the Lego into colours. My dc are now too big for a lot of their sets so we need to get the boxes packed up to give to my DB or sell on eBay. It's surprisingly soothing.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 11/07/2021 20:16

@UnGoogled

Ostensibly writing my book, which sounds really wanky, but it's true. I need to finish this bastard.
What's it about?

I would like to be (re)watching Midsommar, but we only have the one TV and it's been taken over. Hmph.

kowari · 11/07/2021 20:16

It's unusually quiet here. No neighbour children screaming on the trampoline. DS is on playing final fantasy with friends and I'm about to read my book.

TeaDrinker247 · 11/07/2021 20:16

Baking cookies for DS nursery as it’s his last week before he goes to school. 🥲

BobbinThreadbare123 · 11/07/2021 20:17

In bed, with my book. DH only watches the big tournaments so I can't begrudge him the telly; I'd only have watched Countryfile and the Antiques Roadshow tbf! I've painted my toenails as well Grin

delilahbucket · 11/07/2021 20:17

@GetTaeFuck the two things that got me through repeated "can't swallow your own saliva" tonsillitis - soluable cocodamol and really thick milkshake in little sips, if someone can get either of these for you. Hope you fight it off soon Flowers

Titsywoo · 11/07/2021 20:18

Watching Hancock and getting some work done

WinterBerry7 · 11/07/2021 20:18

Feeding my hangover with a McDonald’s and a (large) pack of Revels. May head to bed shortly with my kindle.

ShowOfHands · 11/07/2021 20:21

I'm reading On Chesil Beach, teen dd is drawing, 9yo ds is reading the Beano and DH is sorting uniforms and lunchboxes.

JaninaDuszejko · 11/07/2021 20:21

Painting the sitting room. It's taking forever but once I finish this coat I'm going to have a bath then read Diary of a Provincial Lady.

Sparklingbrook · 11/07/2021 20:22

I am going to go and hoover upstairs now I think. Rock and roll.

Terhou · 11/07/2021 20:24

Catching up on here, plans to get some work done.

Terhou · 11/07/2021 20:25

Whereabouts are you, @GetTaeFuck? Maybe someone on here can help out with collecting your antibiotics.
