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

I am but I've watched all of them alone, live by myself. I feel very nervous!

There are four of us in the house, but just me watching. DH is at his online evening class and too pig-headed to send apologies even though he's a big football fan. Neither of the DC gives a monkeys about football so I'm parked in front of the telly on my own.

Love Turn of the Screw, it's one of my favourite books.

Just me and the dog! DH has gone to watch it with friends, I would normally join them but not quite built up to leaving the dog alone for that long yet. Can’t get quite as excited about it on my own!

Youarenothere · 07/07/2021 19:41

I am. DH is watching at Wembley, I’m home with the kids.

Ratched · 07/07/2021 19:41

Me!
Even the dogs have buggered off to bed, so truly alone ( apart from wine , pringles and chocolates).

Come on Harry M 😁

Me- DH is working away so I’m on my own if I can get my little boy to sleep in time.

purpleme12 · 07/07/2021 19:42

I'll probably put it on
But if I was watching it with someone I'd get a bit excited
As it is it's a bit flat by yourself as someone who doesn't normally get excited about football

purrswhileheeats · 07/07/2021 19:42

Oh I'm starting to get the shivers now!!

OneFootintheRave · 07/07/2021 19:43

I'm watching alone. I get to see and hear it clearly in comfort with my drinks and snacks of choice to hand. I could have joined colleagues at a bar with drinks laid on but you barely see anything and then how to get home?!

Sunbird24 · 07/07/2021 19:43

I’m in too - just watching the last of the tennis before kick-off though

VerticalHorizon · 07/07/2021 19:43

Quite nervous... butterflies of excitement and a touch of dread mixed in!

disconnecteddrifter · 07/07/2021 19:44

Dh is at the pub with mates. It's raining and I have to up super early tomor for school trip. Ds1 13 is watching with his mates at someone's house and ds2 10 watching qith his dad.
I prefer watching alone am currently eating dinner and drinking a beer. No distraction no loud pub viewers blocking the view and no friends trying to have a conversation. Proper concentration. Ds2 fell asleep during extra time last night and I nearly missed the penalties!

Stuckinmyhead9 · 07/07/2021 19:44

We all seem to have one thing in common, food!

I’m also watching alone!

Stuckinmyhead9 · 07/07/2021 19:44

Any predictions for tonight?

joystir59 · 07/07/2021 19:45

Just me and the dog here! But at least noone to interrupt me to talk

Same here. I'm tidying up to get rid off nerves.
Royalbloo · 07/07/2021 19:45

Hello all! Welcome to the club!

SugarHouse1 · 07/07/2021 19:45

So what’s everybody’s predictions? Mine is 2-0 to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

BillMasen · 07/07/2021 19:46

On my own here too.

Stuckinmyhead9 · 07/07/2021 19:46

@joystir59 sounds like the ideal companion

purrswhileheeats · 07/07/2021 19:46

Think it's going to go to penalties - my nerves won't take it!!!!

Royalbloo · 07/07/2021 19:46

I'm thinking 3-1 to us SugarHouse1
