    It’s been very humid here too. Proper sweaty weather. The retro dress sounds fabulous.

    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪

    It's only 21 here but feels like a greenhouse in the van. Wish I was wearing a floaty dress

    We did not win. Which is a shame as we were the better side imo, and is a shame because some of the ref's decisions were really quite peculiar (that's a widely held neutrals opinion too, I'm not just sour grapesing it!). Ah well, so it goes

    I paid £4.99 from personal spends to be able to watch it in pub on phone and the subscription lasts for a month. Me and Mr PIP have been through the streaming telly listings of Prime Video to see if we can make the most of it and there is literally nothing that appeals 😂 We think we're going to have to watch 'Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted' to get something for our money, I for one am already fully invested 🤣

    I’m sorry your team didn’t win. I’m not a football fan but it would have been lovely to have something to celebrate as a country 🤷‍♀️

    I’m glad you think the same as me about the Prime video package - I looked at it once and didn’t see anything remotely interesting either! Good luck with the celebrity hauntings 😂

    Prime Video is a bit rubbish, but we subscribe as we use a lot of other bits as well. If you like crime/detective type programmes, then we really like Bosch, Ballard, and theres also Reacher, Cross, Scarpetta, all based on book series.
