Look, we all do it.

Whenever it rains, we immediately look out of the window and think deep thoughts, pretending we’re in a fancy film or a music video and this is the scene where we realise profound, life-changing things or just really miss our exes.

It’s not something we’d readily admit to if someone caught us doing it (‘oh, I was just looking at the garden. So pretty’), but we’re all guilty of it.

And it turns out cats are too.

Each time it rains, Felicity Berkleef makes sure to take photos of her cats posing… Read the full story

We all know someone who regularly convinces themselves that their headaches are a sign of brain cancer.

Or someone who Googles every lump and bump and immediately resigns themselves to the ‘reality’ that they’re dying of meningitis.

John Lewis has teamed up with The Wildlife Trusts this Christmas – here’s how you can help

There are 850,000 people living with dementia – meaning symptoms caused by diseases such as Alzheimer’s, including memory loss, confusion, and personality change – in the UK. By 2025 the number is expected to rise to over one million.

There are many things that 2016 has taken away from us.

Why we must all stop f***ing asking couples when they're going to have a baby

Our hope in the world. The ability to have a naming competition that doesn’t end in Something-y McSomething Face or Harambe. David Bowie.

That thing is sexting.

Sometimes calling in sick when you’re not actually sick is entirely justified.

Deliveroo's new Brew House feature means you can now get beer delivered in 20 minutes

When you’re incredibly hungover, for example. When you’re really, really tired. When you ordered something online and can’t be bothered to go to the sorting office. And definitely when you just need a day of pampering and self-care. You deserve it.

But if you know you’ll need a sick day, you’ll need to be prepared.

The SPRIDD collection is a limited edition collaboration with British menswear designer Kit Neale, described as ‘a print-based collection of vibrant must-haves perfect for modern nomads’ and it’s FULL of festival goodies!

Society dictates that our adult lives follow a specific formula. Move out, get a job, settle down with a partner, get married, have a baby, retire then die. So it stands to reason that the most common question a long term, usually married couple is incessantly asked is ‘soooo, when are we going to hear the pitter patter of tiny feet then?’

But as well meaning as this may be, can we all just take a step back, analyse the enormity of such a question for a bit and just f***ing stop? Most… Read the full story
