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!

Reading crap on the internet. I did cheer "come on Italy" repeatedly at the top of my voice for a bit just to piss off my neighbours who have been whooping and cheering for the last three hours 🙄
😂 not gonna lie, I did this too. Well technically I sung O Sole Mio at the top of my voice but same effect. Now I'm watching Bake off the Professionals and browsing the internet.

Watching The Quick and The Dead for some 90s eye candy, knitting, and flicking through MN and Facebook every so often.

DP and I are staying with friends. The football is on and I'm glancing at it from time to time, but I volunteered to clear up after supper just to have some time on my own and get away from it!

This is me currently - have a glass of wine and Adele playing on the speaker. Cheers all! 🍹

I went on a tip run at half 7, only one other car there so I was straight in and out 👍 and filled up with petrol on the way home. The roads were nearly empty.

@BadMotherLover

Masturbating. Is that wrong?
If you're MNing at the same time, I would respectfully suggest you're doing it wrong Grin

Ooooo that looks nice! Outdoors?

Oh damn! I've just remembered that the pool pump hasn't been run today. It has to run for 2-3 hours every day. Not that I mind doing the chemicals and pump etc when we can actually use the pool.

Watching Sanctuary and I’ve decided I’m treating myself to all nine series of suits, loads of eye candy in suits itI will keep me entertained for weeks, today has been utter shite. So seriously day dreaming over my heartthrobs as well.

Sat in with DD (3) who is asleep but if England score there might be cheering from DH and FIL downstairs which might wake her so I'm sticking around for emergency shushing.

MN-ing

Checking twitter

Enjoying the peace and quiet and a sit down

Thinking fucking hell please don't go to penalties I've got to ferry FIL back home after the match and it's getting on!

TheSunIsStillShining · 11/07/2021 22:04

We don't have a tv, so I know from the pub across the river if there's a goal.
But don't really care as I've been practicing on my new bass guitar for the past almost 2 hours. :)

Masturbating to MN thread about avoiding the football - that’s certainly niche!?

chipsandgin · 11/07/2021 23:10

Each to their own though I suppose!

Bargebill19 · 11/07/2021 23:17

Sat at work drinking tea and faffing on my phone. Everyone else sent home at 7am.

justjuggling · 12/07/2021 00:09

I did a jigsaw.
