ITALY v FRANCE ...... Kick Off 2.15pm ..... LIVE on ITV

*** There's a possibility that I won't be on duty for this one ;-)

I didn't sleep at all last night and I took OH for his 1st Covid vaccination at his doctor's surgery very early this morning. It went very well. First in, I went with him and it felt very safe. He didn't feel a thing and we were in and out in less than 5 minutes.

BUT I MAY GO BACK FOR A FEW HOURS SLEEP:-D :-D :-D


THE ONE I WILL DEFINITELY BE HERE FOR .....

***** ENGLAND v SCOTLAND ..... KICK OFF 4.45pm *****

LIVE ON ITV ..... AND RADIO JEM ;-) ;-) :-D

I won’t be here for the first one either Jem, as we are going for our Covid jabs then.
We will probably miss the first half of the England match as well as it is a forty five minute drive to get back. I will look in as soon as I can

SCORES ONLY FOR THE MATCH BETWEEN
