I could almost say I enjoyed it. At the end, with all the crying and trophy waving it was quite good. We had a near miss - Ray Winstone on an advert told us to put money on Rooney scoring the first goal in the Ukraine match, he did, but we didn't. <br />You did really well and the LBs look so excited they might pop over their Chinese feast. You look stunning in your jumpsuit and the parcel from Liz was full of wonderful stuff. You really suit those biiiig patterns, you lucky thing. <br /><br />ps: did your telly go off and sulk at the end of the match too? xxxxMiss Simmonds Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655954003085670507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-76899295299672225872012-07-02T19:33:10.507-07:002012-07-02T19:33:10.507-07:00Your festive floral jumpsuit in your beautiful gar...Your festive floral jumpsuit in your beautiful garden must mean that the rain has stopped and summer has arrived.
