What are you doing instead of watching the football?

[Dilbertian]

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 preparing powerpoints for a training session I'm running on Wednesday

Deep bath, Netflix on laptop, MN. Heavenly.

@delilahbucket thanks, I now have an excuse to feed DC McDonald’s tomorrow I’ve only had it once before, aged 18, many moons ago, followed by shingles.

If that happens again I’m fucked as I’m now a single parent of 3DC and cannot imagine dealing with shingles and children.

@Terhou East Mids. I’m hoping I can convince a local pharmacy to deliver it, especially as we are also isolating due to half of eldest DDs year having Covid, and awaiting results for test on middle DD. I’m hoping it’s just hayfever and a cold that’s kicking her ass. I love my children dearly but this is not a fun combination to have.

Finishing off a Star Wars film, then planning to get in the hot tub with bubbles as no-one will care about the noise!
Then, I have Deliverance to watch, or may watch Handmaid's Tale (if it's on).

No football in this house thankfully!

So far we've put DC to bed; had sex & now watching The Expanse on Prime & eating gooseberry & loganberry crumble we made today.

@JesusInTheCabbageVan it's about a teenage girl with autism and how she's coping after her parents divorce and she has to move house. I've been working on it on and off for years, and I'm about 1/4 of the way through. Recently had a burst of creative energy so I'm making hay while the sun shines.

I have found my people. Evening all.

At the moment I’m just MNing to the sound of the next-door neighbours cheering the football, but I must find myself a good film to watch and drown out the noise which will inevitably increase 🙄

Counting my blessings that nobody in this house enjoys football so we're currently watching Netflix (but will know if something happens by the noise from the neighbours :) )

@Tatum1234 loving the house watching, it's great easy watch TV.

@SheABitSpicyToday

Husband is downstairs deep cleaning the kitchen. I’m vomiting into a bowl in bed and trying to watch Bridget Jones’ baby. Watching a other pregnant woman suffer might make me feel better.

Congratulations! How far along are you? Hope it eases soon.

@Dilbertian Thankyou! I’m 22 weeks, sickness seems to be going all through the pregnancy like it did last time. November is so far away

I'm watching Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Missed the first 10 mins, but I read the book years ago.

Watching (and listening) to the tide coming in. For once the beach is empty, no yappy dogs or boy racers. Bliss.

I’m watching Disney+

Listening to Cabin Pressure on my headphones whilst DH watches the football.

@Dilbertian I enjoyed the book. I remember there was one wonderfully smug couple in it.

Tinting my eyebrows, eating fudge and watching Start Up

Oh. Joy.

Roll on November.

@UnGoogled sounds good! I'd buy it.

@Soubriquet

I’m watching supernatural

Good decision! Winchesters over footy any day

I've been sewing a dress. Only my second so learning lots! Given up for now though, so have made popcorn for the watchers, then I'm going to run a bath and read my new book.

Watching a documentary on Pompeii. So sad 😞

Thanks. I'd better finish writing it, then!

GetTaeFuck that sounds truly miserable. Hope you get the meds you need and it eases quickly.

Men are in other room. I'm watching The Way We Were. Never seen it before.
