Hi everyone

Think we're all agreed Saturday was fun, but obviously, it wasn't a school night. Memo to self as much as anyone else – it's all very well to have fun and support our boys but we can't all work from home tomorrow, so please bear that in mind if you're watching the match later.

Thanks

Alison

I'll be in tomorrow. 8pm kick-off is a bit late for me.

I'm up for another pub session, guys. Same place, Phil? If we can't keep the boss off the shots, at least Lucy's sofa isn't too far to carry her. :)

Don't mind watching the game, but not sure a pub full of drunk blokes is my thing. L

I know we haven't really talked after Saturday, sorry. My bad. Ax

It was OK. I didn't end up doing a shot for every penalty. L

The 'shot-out' thing was new to me. God! Ax

You have an impressive capacity for doing shots. L

Managed it back to your flat anyway. Ax

With a bit of help from me and Brad. And it is literally ten mins walk from that pub! We thought it was safer than trying to get you home. L

I know. Thanks. Axx

Turns out you sober up pretty quickly. Or you weren't as drunk as you seemed. Lx

;) Brad say anything to you? Axx

Nope. Last he saw you, you were crashed fully-clothed on my sofa. Lx

You don't think he picked up on anything? Axx

Genuinely think that's all in your head. Lx

We need to be careful. I could get in deep trouble. Partly why I've been avoiding you in the office. (Sorry!) Axx

It's fine. Better that way. Lx

You're OK with...what happened, though? Axx

I started it. That England shirt was a surprisingly foxy look. Lxx

:D What do you want to do about tonight, then? Axx

Go for the first half? Show willing. Nobody'll think anything if we both decide to be sensible. We've said publicly we'll both be in tomorrow. Lxx

Might work. Axx

Stop worrying, Ali. I've got as much to lose as you. Lxxx

Thanks. I'll wear the shirt. ;) <3 Axxx

;) See you later. Lxxx
