What are you doing instead?
I’m going to the spa - went last week when the last england match was on and it was blissfully empty!
What are you planning on doing if you don’t enjoy football?

Ahh @LlynTegid i guess we know where you’re from! Enjoy your sauna :)
Think it starts at 7, I’m getting ready to go.
dh has just presented himself and ds with england tops to wear while they watch the telly 🤦‍♀️
All such a nonsense as far as I’m concerned.
I do agree with a pp though, it’s been far less intrusive in the winter, less large garden gatherings for a start!

I've been feeling a bit ropey this weekend, and have to get up at 4 am tomorrow, so I'm in bed with a hot water bottle, a cat and my Kindle (and a bit of Mumsnet, of course).

Oh @Hidingawaytoday that’s rotten 🥺
Have no fear @VladmirsPoutine - the results will be bloody everywhere in a couple of hours, you won’t have to put yourself through the torture of watching!

What I normally do. Nothing special. Football is a complete irrelevance in this house.

Thanks for that @TheChosenTwo, you’ve saved me a Google. Almost time to walk the dog then, or it would be if he hasn’t just stolen my spot on the sofa & started napping 🙄

We'll I'm snuggled under a blanket with DH watching Ben Fogle living in the wild. Much better than football!

TeenDivided · 04/12/2022 19:07

Currently listening to The Archers Archers (poor Ben having a MH breakdown).
Then upstairs to look after DD.

Likewise.

ShowOfHands · 04/12/2022 19:12

I don't even know who is playing or when but if it's on tonight, I'm watching Wednesday. I don't watch any television usually and am feeling antsy having to sit still. I want to get up and change the beds but DH and DS were desperate to watch it together.

Nobody here likes football.

Hubcapdiamondstarhalo · 04/12/2022 19:16

I've just come upstairs and got into bed, leaving DH to enjoy it on his own. I don't think I can be bothered to watch any tv, so will trawl MN for a while, maybe do the crossword, and read my book in peace.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 04/12/2022 19:18

Watching Christmas at Liberty over the top of the laptop while I compose a shirty email to the management company of the flat, then Anything Goes on BBC4.

Always4Brenner · 04/12/2022 19:23

Star Wars in this house well Empire Str9kes Back.

Sparklingbrook · 04/12/2022 19:25

Bit of work to get ahead for tomorrow and online shopping for Christmas.

dementedma · 04/12/2022 19:26

In bed,surfing MN

iklboo · 04/12/2022 19:32

DH is on the PlayStation, I'm flitting between MN & games on my tablet, DS is with his friends.

ThereIsATInWater · 04/12/2022 19:41

Just washed up after dinner.

DH is watching the football in the front room, I'm debating going for an early shower and then MN-ing in bed because I'm not really interested.

Watching antiques roadshow
