The game was eventful, getting 1 yellow card for each team, but Arsenal taking the win 2-0, with Stina and Steph scoring goals. At the end of the game, as it was the last of the season, I was allowed on the pitch with all the family members, with Coco.

The first person I went up to was Jonas as he said he would look after her whilst I went to sign peoples shirts.

"Hello Rosie, and hello little Coco, how are you"

"I'm good thanks, getting better I think im coming into the training grounds tomorrow just for a checkup whilst the rest of the girls are doing their recovery"

"That's good then, you'll be back in no time, hoping for the euros call up"

"Yeah I hope so but I understand if not, I know I'm young and my time will come soon enough, there are better more experienced players out there I know there is, so if Sarina wants them instead of me, I won't be upset I'll still go to every game and support them"

"You're great Rosie, I hope you know that, now you go and speak to people, I can hear them shouting your name. I'll look after this little one."

"Thank you Jonas, that really means a lot to me"

"I know it does now go, your shirts are on a seat where the subs were sat"

"Thanks" I say walking over to the sub bench where I was going anyway as Beth, Viv and Katie were all there speaking to each other.

After giving away my shirt and singing about another million, it was finally time for us to go back to London, back home. Tomorrow me and Katie will fly to Ireland to see her family for 2 weeks before coming back home and, if I make it, going to the England camp.

We made it home around 9PM, so me and Katie decided to have an early night as we had to get up early for our flight in the morning. I had packed my suitcase before we went up to Sheffield, so all I had to do in the morning was pack my toothbrush and put a few extra things like chargers and my ipad into my aeroplane bag.

In the morning I woke up on my own accord, no Leah pulling the duvet off me, no Beth and Katie jumping on top of me or Viv pulling open the curtains. I just woke up, which was very weird. I got out of bed and went to the toilet and made my way downstairs, they were all sitting there crowding around Leah's phone with sad looks on their faces.

"Are you all ok, what are you looking at" This must've startled them because they all jumped up Leah clutching her phone to her chest

"It was nothing"

"Yeah, just one of them stupid soldier coming home videos that are really sad"

"Ok, well i'm going to make my breakfast but you do you" I say the confused look now on my face, that is definitely not what they were doing.

After breakfast and Katie remembering to pack everything she needed we all headed in the car to go to the colony for recovery, and a checkup for me. It was a pretty quiet car ride there, just quiet conversations with the music at a low volume in the background.

When we got to the colony, I headed straight to the medic room whereas the rest of the girls went to the gym to do a bit of rehab before they had to get in the ice bath.

All they had to do was check my vision and how my ankle was healing, only a 10 minute checkup before they said I could go. They also recommended doing an ice bath with the girls as it might help with my ankle but I don't have to if I don't want to.

It was nearing the end of their rehab session and Katie was running late as usual, she had apparently lost her trainers somewhere and had us all looking for it. However Katie being Katie, Steph found it already packed in her bag.
