I've found it on the red button (I'm watching it through a TV app on my phone). Other one has just broken serve.

I would dearly like Murray in the final. However, whoever is in the final I only hope its a cracking matchup because yesterdays ladies first semi was really really dull. Don;t want that. More so as its the last match of the tennis and the only one on aside from doubles all day Sunday and I want to go out on a bang!

Raahh · 05/07/2013 12:11

I've got it on channel 991 (virgin)- which is no help, if you don't have VirginGrin

I just hope Del Potato's match today isn't as stressful as the Rafa/Nole semi at the French. Blimey, that was a stressful.

i hate my keyboard todayGrin

Raahh · 05/07/2013 12:19

Maryz- poor Ds has been counting the days until the tennis endsGrin . I feel really crap for him today - the school in their wisdom have decided to take a group of 6-8 year 6 children to China in October. They only told us yesterday how much it is going to be, and there's no way we can ever afford it. Sad Ds was so upset last night- there's no guarantee he'd have been chosen, but even so, I wish I could have given him the chance.

So, I need cheering up. Because I feel like the worlds worst motherSad Vamos Del Potato!

Raahh · 05/07/2013 12:20

(but even though I feel sorry for him- he ain't getting his hands on the remoteGrin)

MirandaWest · 05/07/2013 12:22

That is a really weird thing for the school to do IMO. Also my DS is only finishing year 4 but I can't imagine being happy about him going to china in just over a years time. Plus I couldn't afford it anyway.

In my DCs school there's a two night residential trip in year 5 and a 4 night one in year 6. Both in this country. That sounds about right to me tbh.

Finally got round to putting on my Wimbledon name change, couldn't be arsed when we lost Feds and Rafa.

But having lost Serena (much as I like her, doughnuts aren't her fault, but they are dull), Shrieker and AzerNeedEarProtection, we have got some good matches.

Would have liked Dork to slip over too, he's also too good and a bit dull.

Anyway place marking until I've sewn up DDs hem (£18 skirts should last more than two washes!)

GlaikitFizzog · 05/07/2013 12:30

Sheesh! I thought I lost you all! Swimming has been done, currently feeding time at the zoo and I hope a nice long nap this afternoon for ds!

Can someone tell me what time terminator v poleveriser starts?

Raahh · 05/07/2013 12:30

Miranda- they go to a residential at the end of year 6- for years it was an outdoor pursuits type place, not too far away. Then, one year, they got International school status, or something, and the then year 6's went to Iceland. But it was only £30 a head . Ever since then- they have gone to Gibralter, because a succession of parents didn't think it was fair 'their' kids didn't get to go abroadHmm for 4 days. I've been stressed enough over paying for that! it's really got outof hand, imo.

Anyway, hopefully Ds will be feeling a bit brighter this afternoon. He totally understands why he can't go, but it's been so hyped, it's no wonder he's disappointed.

Bring on the tennis!

Raahh · 05/07/2013 12:31

Should be 1pm, Glaikit

GlaikitFizzog · 05/07/2013 12:32

Ooh, ok, best get the master up to bed then!

NoComet · 05/07/2013 12:32

Hope spud-u-likes knee holds up.
Dork will flatten Murry if he's playing as badly as in the 1/4s

Raahh · 05/07/2013 12:33

I just hope Del Potato has been main-lining his magic calpol all morning. or perhaps having a nap, like BartoliGrin

Raahh · 05/07/2013 12:34

Grin dd2 has just come in from the garden to tell me there is a bee chasing her. She's quite crossGrin

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 05/07/2013 12:37

I am currently enduring Ben and Holly, I've told DS2 that I'm changing the channel when it finishes. He will throw an almighty strop, he's showing no signs of needing a nap :(

HappyAsEyeAm · 05/07/2013 12:39

Hello ladies. Lovely to be with you all again.

DS2 is down for his nap, so I am all systems go to sit in front of the television. Going to organise my refreshments now to maximise viewing time.

Raahh · 05/07/2013 12:44

Ali- I feel you pain. DD2 has all but grown out of naps, so I was surprised when she slept yesterday. Probably just a hangover from being ill earlier in the week. She goes berserk when I turnoff Charley Bear!
