World Cup 2010

Well, it's finally here.......the World Cup in South Africa. The tension in the Nunhead Mum household has been, well, tense. Once David and Mac had got "Wembley out of the way" their attention turned from Millwall's Lions to the Three Lions. We've now got a 42" television in the living room which caused a bit of a stir in Cafe Nero when I informed Charlie that Curry's had just delivered. "How big? 42 INCHES?" she yelled which pretty much brought the whole place to an open mouthed standstill.

Finger food abounds in the fridge, freezer and cupboards. It's too much, apparently, to ask my boys to eat proper food with a knife and fork - why eat a roast dinner when they can graze on chicken drumsticks, mini quiches, celery sticks and crisps? Still, it's only for a couple of weeks, I'll ram them full of proper meals over the rest of the summer.

Mac has been learning all about all the countries featuring in the World Cup since he got back to school after half term and we all have lively interesting discussions. Go on, ask me anything about South Korea. Go on, ask me!

David has wangled the afternoon of the 23rd off (along with half of the country I suspect) and is working out the quickest way to get Mac home from school in time for the 3pm England kick off. Not the safest, I might add, just the quickest. Besides, I don't know anyone with a motorbike, let alone anyone who will be happy with a five year old clinging on behind them.

Frank and Marjorie have gone a bit off track.....they've decided not to support England but both picked a team out of a hat to support. Frank is therefore rooting for Australia and Marjorie has got Nigeria and was dressed yesterday in a brightly coloured kaftan.

Janey is "not watching the world cup, bloody stupid, Eastenders has been buggered about with" but is spending every match indulging in some sort of pampering routine. I rang her yesterday during the England game only to be told by Darren that she's "sitting upstairs in the bathroom, waxing her minnie". I didn't need to know that.

And as for me, well, I'm doing what any sane woman would do. Ogling the players. I'm not so much musing their passing abilities or nifty footwork but that's what David and Mac are thinking anyway. Charlie's coming round tomorrow night for the Italy game. Now, they've got a lot of, erm, skill.

At least 3.00pm is a civilised time. My husband got up at 4.30 AM!!! this morning to watch "us" massacred by the Germans. The good bit is I didn't have to endure it. We only have one television and it isn't very big so imagine if it was on in prime time. The remote wouldn't be safe!

The World Cup is so exciting! I have been so into it! But unfortunately, there are more people in my family, (and I seem to be the only one into the world cup in spite of having 2 brothers) and my intentions to hijack the television set are never successful ! :P

I hate football, I don't get why guys love it so much and why they act like they are involved in someway when it's on.

I drop a comment when I especially enjoy a article on a blog or I have
something to add to the conversation. It\'s triggered by the fire displayed in the article I browsed.
And on this article -+Ishouless+-. I was actually moved enough to
create a comment ;-) I actually do have a few questions for you if
it\'s allright. Could it be only me or do some of these comments appear
like left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on additional places, I\'d like to keep
up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you list all
of all your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I don’t understand this website much… First, it’s hard to make customers click a random link with no information, secondly, isn’t a automatic message that populates in status box similar to a virus? Thank you for sharing!

My photo
Nunhead, London, United Kingdom
I'm a mum of one, wife of one and owner to several dogs, a variety of breeds and sizes. I live in the up and coming area (or so they say) of Nunhead and have mad neighbours, strange friends and certifiable relatives. I shop locally, although I do defect to Sainsburys once a week - shoot me now local shopkeepers.
