First, we heard that some women orgasm while giving birth, which is a completely different report to what other women have told us, but okay.

People seem to be obsessed with scented candles these days. Everyone you speak to is asking for Diptyque candles for Christmas.

That’s because every Tom, Dick and Harry is in the grip of Hygge – kitting their sterile houses out with as many naked flames as possible in the hope of channeling Scandi-comfort.

Christmas parties can be so difficult to dress for. You want to look glam AF with your sparkling dress, your nicely done hair, your lovely makeup.

But come 9pm, you’re hobbling around in your stilettos which have crushed your bones into powder. And that is not a good look.

It was OK in the summer. You looked effortlessly chic in wedges. You got away with sandals.

Alongside criticism from outgoing European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso on the UK's stance on EU immigration and a plan to quit the European Court of Human Rights, the UK has now been told to pay an extra ?1.7bn GBP (2.1bn EUR) towards the EU's budget because its economy has performed better than expected.

Total classic

Going out as an adult is nothing in comparison to those hedonistic school discos that you experienced in your youth.

School discos were the highlight of every single academic year, outfits were planned, dances practiced and most importantly they didn’t exceed the budget of £5.

Having huge tits really is no picnic, but I'm making my peace with them

No matter which school you went to there are certain classic school discos anthems that you definitely spent the evening awkwardly shimmying away to.

And of course you did so while being off your face on Panda Pops and lollies.
