I for one love it and Wimbledon. People complain, but it is only once every 4 years ( the football I mean).

Watching DVD's netflix, the other channels, jigsaws, reading.

Luckly it's the wrong shaped ball for H, he's only interested in ?? which I enjoy too.

When is it on ?
I have an automatic switch off button whenever the word is mentioned.

Love that idea Rubysong!

I don't like football , so I shall either go shopping ( its amazing how empty the shops are when England is playing ) or I shall take my self off to the craft room, drink good coffee, listen to music and craft!!

Try to ignore it.

Luckily Dh only watches a few games of football and mostly only the highlights which he records and watches when I have gone to bed. He has a TV in his study as well he can watch it in there.In the unlikely event that England get anywhere I shall be found on the golf course.

I will be watching it too . Not every match mind you. DGS says he wants to wear the strip for every team England play.... ? this is awkward as I don’t want to wish them out after the first round but unless I win the lottery ??? He’s gonna be very disappointed.

All sorts of things other than watch it. Luckily DH is not bothered either. Same with Wimbledon.

Er? Watch it! grin

Love the world cupsmilewine

On Monday I will be cooking a selection of Tunisian food for friends and neighbours who will come here to watch the match. Then when England play again we go to someone else's house and they cook food from the opposing team. It's been our tradition for quite a lot of years for world cup and Euro matches.

I'll probably be continuing work on a baby blanket with the footie on as background music (yep, I live with a chap)

Plenty of books saved up to read and some jobs to do which I have been putting off.
I love Outlander as well yggdrasil Not sure when the next book is being published.

I have loads of Outlander episodes I haven't had time to watch yet, And the Bridge. And that new one Hidden too.
If it wasn't for sport, I might never manage to catch up :-)

Will you be watching? Not me - I’ll be binge watching something on Netflix, dressmaking, going to the theatre or some other diversionary tactic. I’d like to go to a remote Scottish/ Italian/Greek Island with no TV or newspapers but that’s unlikely.
