    Great minds think alike SW. :D

    I must have been searching for the sweepstake & doing the crossings out when you posted

    Well done, Niddy has changed to Holland. Is he still in it?

    Most recent sweepstake

    1. [STRIKE]Brazil[/STRIKE] for Niddy & Di.
    2. Spain for Fitzer
    3. [STRIKE]Cameroon[/STRIKE]- for SW. ( Bankers i will not kiss you plebs under any circumstances)
    4. [STRIKE]Argentina[/STRIKE] - Ann
    5. [STRIKE]England[/STRIKE] - Toile/Pixie
    6. Paraguay - 3 Dogs
    7. [STRIKE]Switzerland[/STRIKE]- Swanfan
    8. [STRIKE]Italy[/STRIKE] - Jen BR ( bet they are the best looking team though Jen)
    9. Germany - Elsie

    So there's only Fitzer, 3dogs and Elsie still in the sweepstake and either Fitzer or 3 dogs will be out of it tonight.

    So, does this mean that there are some teams not allocated?

    I am listening to Blondie. Any luck with insurance Ann?

    Thanks SW.

    Have just looked at Tesco's comparison site. A lot of companies won't give me a quote! Not sure whether it's because of the prang I had a couple of months ago or whether they do a CRA check online! (I am getting paranoid now!)

    Have found a reasonable one on gocompare.com - presumably the critical moment will be when I actually try to buy it! (Not as though I am asking for monthly instalments!)

    Have sent the details to my son for checking - it isn't due until 24th July but want to get it sorted out in case I keep getting turned down - and I am away after the 18th - IN THE CAR!

    Sorry, SW.

    That read like a work report!

    I meant, are there teams going spare, which have not been given to/chosen by any of us on here!

    There were 32 teams at the start of the World Cup finals so, yes, there would be some teams not allocated.

    Is Niddy (superhero that he is) allowed to change teams (especialy to the team that knocked his out)? If that's the case, we could all keep changing every time our team got knocked out and we'd all end up winning!! :j:j

    Sorry you're out of the sweepstake Ann. At least we got a goal (2 really) against Germany.

    I'm babysitting tonight but my granddaughter will be in bed by the time I get there. Never mind, I saw her yesterday.

    I'll be watching the Spain v Paraguay match later if I can stay awake.

    Enjoy the babysitting and the football, Pixie!

    I got confused - thought you were going to the pub to watch football last night, but SW put me right about the Chippendales (apparently nothing to do with antique furniture!)
