If so, what are you doing?
It’s on here but I’m pottering in the garden.

I wasnt going to bother, but have done in the end just to see if we make it through

Me, I’m not interested.

EnterQueene · Yesterday 20:29

Ive just watched a tv programme and watered the polytunnel. All cats are fed so im going to pack some stuff up as im moving to the downstairs granny flat for a week as my mum and niece are due tomorrow and are having our rooms. Then shower and have an early night.

We are. It’s pretty dull so far!

I’m not. I can’t wait for it all to be over - not hoping they lose, just don’t care about it and want football to stop dominating all media / conversations etc.

Me.
I find it boring!

Zippidydoodah · Yesterday 20:33

Me. Couldn’t care less about it, but when I was younger I did enjoy watching it.

No interest whatsoever in this house. Currently watching Ab Fab with DD before it’s time for her & her DB to go to bed.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · Yesterday 20:45

Dd and I have just been for a seim
DH is watching the Tour de France highlights
DS is writing a history essay, to get it out of the way.

Me. I hate it and it puts me on edge.

the neighbours have it on and I can hear it in the garden. I’m going to move inside. They’re really good neighbours and I know I’m in the minority!

I'm not watching it I have no interest and the hype just annoys me.
I'm watching Midsummer murders!

MyHorseAndMe · Yesterday 20:48

Nope I’m not watching

Seashor · Yesterday 20:48

We’re not. We’re big rugby fans.

NoWordForFluffy · Yesterday 20:48

I'm not watching as we don't have a TV licence. Even if we did, I find it way too nerve wracking to watch big matches and don't really enjoy it.

We do have a table booked for Sunday evening in a pub, just in case, though.

friedaklein · Yesterday 20:49

I have gone for a walk by the river

PeonyBulb · Yesterday 20:49

It’s a very exciting match you should just give it a watch after half time

ShrimpBoil · Yesterday 20:49

A) I don't like football
B) I haven't watched any so far and they've won, so I'm hoping that continues! Just to keep the followers at work in a good mood.

Purplecatshopaholic · Yesterday 20:50

I CBA with the hype, and sheer nonsense spouted by the commentators. I’m not watching it myself, but it’s on in the house. I will know when either side score as there will be shouting, lol.

Barethe · Yesterday 20:52

I’m watching the sewing bee. I find the football too stressful

FionaJT · Yesterday 20:52

I'm not. Just cooked and ate a nice dinner with my Dd, who's back from uni for the summer but we are generally operating on very different schedules so don't sit down together much. (She's not interested either). Now chilling in the garden with strawberries & cream.

Blankscreen · Yesterday 20:52

I'm not. I have literally no interest.
I'm in the bath scrolling on Mumsnet.

DH is watching it so I'm sure to know when something happens

Upwiththisiwillnotput · Yesterday 20:52

No, but because I haven’t watched any and we’ve got this far so my brain is telling me not to tempt fate until we get through to the final.. I am a normal rational person usually!!

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · Yesterday 20:53

No.

We went to Tesco to by a pie and now we’re cooking the pie.

I’ve watched none of it.

I was mildly invested because I saw a conspiracy that it was scripted and Portugal were going to win. Also it was on a episode of The Simpsons that Portugal would win.

Not invested enough to actually watch it. But mildly interested.

AuditAngel · Yesterday 20:53

I never watch it. DH is Spanish and had to work last night when it was meant to be his night off (hospitality).

DD1 has gone to the pub to watch the gane with friends. DD2 and I are at home. I’m watching tv (but not football)
