We recently got a snuggly blanket for the sofa that's very soft. The cat decided 'yesss, new blanket for ME!' and is now having a love affair with it. She sits on my lap for longer now if the blanket is over me. She sleeps on it at night, and when we're falling asleep we can hear her purring to herself and clawing the…

That sounds really nice!

90's me is very jealous of you. I actually still kind of like that dress now. Is that bad?

It absolutely sucks that she is going through this, but Midwest Ms has a point. In the Gift of Fear the author talks about decreasing your availability to the perpetrators as much as possible to stop them from having an investment in you and giving them an opportunity to talk to you. While that means that in some ways…

I signed up for that years ago and did it twice. I ignore the reminder email every day.

That is the most batshit article I have ever read.

Mr Tayto and I have agreed that we are never pressing the snooze button again and will get up at the same time everyday, no matter what time we go to bed at. We are both tired of being tired most days of the week as our bodies struggle to keep up with our erratic sleeping hours.

And at the same time, Michelle Branch sighs - after all these years, people still get her confused with Vanessa Carlton.

I love the Zelda soundtrack! Sometimes I leave it playing in the background while my cat does her usual sniffing and exploring of the house - it makes everything she does look epic.

I asked my mom for a hair tie the other day, and she gave me a choice between a larger scrunchie and a smaller scrunchie. "It's more fashionable for scrunchies to be smaller now" she said, oblivious to the fact that scrunchies, whether big or small, have not been considered fashionable recently. I have no idea where…

I feel for you. It is really difficult going back, I only go back for holidays but I still revert to being a teenager within hours of arriving home. My mom constantly wants to make sure I'm 'warm enough', which means she'll inspect my clothes before I go out to make sure I won't freeze. Yes, it's because she cares,…

This happened to me a few years ago too, but then it turned out that I actually had an ovarian tumor growing inside of me. Only one person asked me straight out if I was pregnant (before I knew it was a tumor) and it was aaaaawkward.

I also wanted to add - hostels are great too, not just Airbnb! I tend to search both for hostels and on Airbnb when I search for accommodation in a city and then choose the best sounding ones.

That's fair enough, navigation can be daunting when you're travelling far from home. If you ever decide to go, I can totally vouch for Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia as places were I felt safe and found easy to navigate (however, I was with my boyfriend when I was travelling so probably would have had the same…

Travelling is always great so yes do it! However, if you're on a budget then how about somewhere less expensive than Europe, like South East Asia?

Oh my lordy, those poor doggies :(.

Yes! I wish they had included alternatives like the ones you mention in the article, instead of saying 'oh it's cruel let's feel bad but there's nothing we can do about it'. Much better to give people some ideas of alternatives that might work.

Awesome, congrats on getting the love feelings - they are so nice. When I noticed I was falling in love with mr omelette, i started being tempted to tell him when we were cuddling at night. I just felt the urge to tell him, and it was growing every day. Once he noticed that my heart was beating faster when I was…

I can't wait. I once saw Benedict cumberbatch in real life - he was leaving an art exhibition just as I was entering it. He was with a lady. I wish it got more interesting than that but that is the end of my story!
