    Am in the football free zone that is my dining room :) Mr SA is watching the match in the living room. This will be the pattern during the World Cup - no way am I watching any of it. Apologies to any football fans out there. Quite cosy in here actually - glad I kept the old sofa:)

    The budget is still on track and looking good for there being a surplus left at the end of the week to go into the holiday pot. I bought Mr SA an England sweatshirt today but still within budget

    Still determined, not flagging :)

    Another that cannot stand fitba, have already told colleagues NOT to include me in any conversations about the world cup as I am NOT in any way shape or form interested in any of it...

    If it were the Rugby that would be an entirely different matter :D

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Football will be on in this house but I've put my foot down and said that it can be on in in the living room or the boys' bedroom but not on my little kitchen tv - that way I can escape.
    There is rugby on the way too by the way - and an awful lot of cricket.
