I am and feeling quite sad about it. Anyone want to keep each other company while we watch?

I'm in! ⚽️

Royalbloo · 07/07/2021 19:07

I'm also not sad about it - I get the concentrate properly on the game x

Royalbloo · 07/07/2021 19:08

Not "the", *to. I'll be about once the 4yr old is asleep...

Stuckinmyhead9 · 07/07/2021 19:09

@Royalbloo that’s great! You have a great attitude, think myself and others could learn from it!

I am but I’m not sad about it either, I can do as I please, rewind when I want to, pause when I want to - heaven!

Royalbloo · 07/07/2021 19:14

Yay for us!

NinJellyWarrior · 07/07/2021 19:15

I am. This is the first tournament I've really gotten into. I've watched all games with my DP but he announced earlier he's off to watch it with a friend.

I'm a bit put out because it's been a bit of a thing for us but I'll get over it.

SavageBeauty73 · 07/07/2021 19:15

Me with my dog. Had to cancel friends as I feel poorly (not COVID)

Ready4abreak · 07/07/2021 19:16

I am (kind of). Sat in a hotel room having brought my 4 year old down for a holiday booked way before I considered that England could be playing.

It's been fun wandering the city with people getting excited but a little sad I couldn't join them in a pub Grin.

We are getting take away to room then DS will probably fall asleep whilst I text DH!

Why can't you go too?

It's horrible of him to just go out without you when you've been watching it together.

That's crap timing!!
AlmostSummer21 · 07/07/2021 19:23

I am.

In one way I'm fine with it as others have said, I get the remote to myself etc.

On the other hand I'd live to be in a place with loads of people & lots of beer!!

Aka Brighton Pier1996

But Covid wise I'm not keen to go out and I've just had surgery so can't drink... on a specific diet too, so have absolutely rubbish footy snacks🤦🏻‍♀️

Stuckinmyhead9 · 07/07/2021 19:25

Hi everyone!
Really excited and feeling much less alone

OP posts:
KnackeredHag · 07/07/2021 19:26

I kind of am. I've kept my 6 and 11 year old up as my husband has bodged off to the pub. They couldn't care less about the footie so might send them to bed at half time and enjoy the second half alone! (Unless we are losing and then I'll be too stressed to watch it)

Stuckinmyhead9 · 07/07/2021 19:26

Sorry to everyone feeling ill Brew

Yes (& one eye on tennis too ) - both DH and DS are not football fans

I don't. Ins - uninterrupted tv and large glass of wine - sorted

Amdone123 · 07/07/2021 19:29

I am. My OH had to work ( it's football related so he'll get to see it), and my ds is with friends I think.
I don't like football much but am nervous. I want it to be over with, with a win of course!

Stuckinmyhead9 · 07/07/2021 19:30

@AlmostSummer21 hope you have some great snacks!

ADragonCalledKeith · 07/07/2021 19:32

Alone here too! Dd's in bed and I have a glass of red waiting!!

Mysterian · 07/07/2021 19:33

Can't as I'm watching on my phone in a campsite in Scotland. Fingers crossed the signal holds.

purrswhileheeats · 07/07/2021 19:34

I am! It's a bloody 10pm kick off here and I'm nodding off already 😴 Keep me awake MN!!!

Grumpyoldblonde · 07/07/2021 19:35

Yep. Glass of wine, snacks and I’m happy with that 😊
