But if you just save it in word and don’t do anything with it, it won’t get published….Ooops. Here we are
Last Satday was a weekend for investing in domestic harmony Chez TLF. If you think that the BPB (brownie point bank) is heavily in the black, you haven’t seen TLF’s diary for July when the Women’s European Championships will be hosted by Blighty.
And so…..
There was NO away trip to Welling
There was NO trip to Filbert Way to see the holders of the FA Cup (never thought would type that!) take on Watford
BUT there could be some footballing distraction, as it was the 3rd round of the FA Cup when the ‘big’ teams join the competition.
Cup upset opportunities!
Investment opportunities! Well usage of the jointly owned SkyBet App at any rate.
We chose some likely fixtures, based on injuries and form. We were not stupid, we were not profligate. But we did not bet on Cambridge to beat Newcastle, or Kidderminster to beat Reading, or Borehamwood to beat Wimbledon (OBVIOUSLY!). Nor did we bet that Lesta City hadn’t paid the electricity bill and it would all go dark as we beat Watford.
By close of play the TLF account was no longer in modest three figures. For the first time in months. Irritating. And what made it worse? Having to rely on the currently quite good, which is pretty annoying West Ham team to get us back to winning ways and get us above the magic £99.99.
Which they did.
Yippee.
No, honestly I was really pleased.
