haha I'm in the lounge on the laptop trying as hard as I can to do my essay due next friday! Everyone of the boys is here, including SIL bro my bros and friends. DP isn't home, he left for work at 7 but if he was here he would be the loudest. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| Here and present. The kids are here getting yelled at when they venture into the line of vision between DH and the tv. Might go put them to bed before they are permanently scarred. |

Me! I've been a rugby widow since about 3pm 
The southland vs otago game was on down here, so he was off to that. Southland won, so we've still got the ranfurly shield. So I would just like to say: PPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTT to any Otago ones out there  (Thats my raspberry blowing noise hehehe)

Yeah DH is watching the rugby too. Is the league on after the rugby? I suppose he will be watching that as well, so I will likely head to bed ------------- Lindsey

oh yeah - me! Last weekend he went to Melbourne to see the game . Our Sky Sport went on at 2.30 to see the NPC games (but he did give up the second half to walk the dog  )
Can't complain too much - he took the girls to Te Papa this morning, after dropping me Mary's Market (because it was pouring with rain) so i had an hour or so of child-free shopping time  .-------------

This is the 3rd night in a row we have "had" to watch rugby. Can't wait for the season to end!
Oh and we will likely have to watch golf tomorrow at breakfast since it's in Europe. I really should look at cancelling our Sky TV ------------- Lindsey

Hahahaha DH has been gone since 7pm and not expecting him home till well after 12am, with the Warriors being on straight after the rugby! So lovely having the house to myself DH has even taken the dog with him (he's at a mate's place) so it's really peaceful here. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Actually DH only watched the first half - it was me who insisted on watching it instead of the Notebook lol... I became a big rugby fan when I was living in the UK. But only AB games. |

I used to be a big rugby widow, my DH used to work for the AB's so glad he doesn't now and because of working for the AB's he doesn't like to watch the games. He however is a league widow, I watch that and he either watches with me of does something ele. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Wow - am I the only one who actually watches the rugby with my DF??? I LOVE rugby & league and we always go round to my sister and her hubbies place when there is a game on.... the kids all play together in one lounge, and us adults all sit in the lounge with the big TV and park up to watch the game with chip and dip! lol -------------

If theres a game on in Invercargill, I just bout always go with DH (We often go into one of the corporate boxes) but this time was the first time since baby that DH went, and he had gold tickets that I told him to take his friend with instead of me. Then they went to the pub (We don't have sky) and I stayed home with KFC, chocolate and the baby ....
We usually go visiting or meet up with a couple of mates to watch the game at the pub Is pretty exciting for Southland so far Can't wait for the next game!!! You should have heard everyone leaving the game, it was NUTS (we live a block from the rugby stadium!)
