Do you want to enter my sweepstake?

Prize to be confirmed!

Phew indeed! Had to go out to lunch before the end but fortunately the restaurant/ bar always have sport on and were quite willing to watch football. DH couldnโ€™t quite see the score so one of the regulars kept us informed.

Watching a BIG football match with Mr R is a nightmare. shock He shouts, he yells, he gets totally over excited .... but even so I am going to watch the match with him. Now that is brave but I have to support ENGLAND. So come what may I will stay with it ... Oh My Goodness what if it goes to penalties????? Please think of me my Gransnet England Fans!!!!!!

Iโ€™m the same, Pittcity. I love watching all the preamble - teams coming out, hands being shook, anthems being sung - and the game itself until thereโ€™s a goal scored. Then I busy myself with my phone or Kindle - itโ€™s all just too stressful. Penalties would finish me off.

DH thinks itโ€™s all very odd, and I tend to agree. smile
