When Redditor Velaskin received a text from an unknown number asking him to buy some milk and lunch, he was pretty confused. 

SponsoredWeekday dinners you can actually make in 30 minutes

I mean one, he already had his own milk and lunch – and two, he had no idea who was texting him.

And so obviously, he let the person behind the number know that they’d texted the wrong person – but they weren’t having any of it.

In fact, they were convinced Velaskin was actually their daughter playing a prank on them.

Of course, Velaskin saw this as the perfect opportunity to… Read the full story

Having small kids can be completely exhausting.

They always want to get up at the crack of dawn and once they’re up, they’re up – running rings around you and generally causing havoc.

Even fizzy water isn't good for you, so we might as well all be dead

Parents basically sign away their right to a lie in until their children reach high school.

Which is why one gym is offering knackered mums and dads the chance to sleep in a room with a load of other zombified parents for 45 minutes.

How many times, when you were a child, did you get given a ‘treat’ in exchange for something unpleasant?

Every time I had to have my hair treated for nits (I was a very nitty child) it meant sitting in front of a Disney film with a bowl of Haribo to distract from the vile smelling, stinging stuff in my hair.

That is okay. Just please, please be patient and hold beauty-lovers’ perfectly manicured hands through this time of crisis.

I’ve uttered the words bank holiday and barbecue in the same sentence, meaning that we are probably all doomed to a weekend of rain and DIY instead.

But, being British, we will persevere against the odds in our efforts to eat outside, be that through rain, snow or, in some cases, just dealing with being a vegan at a traditionally meat-heavy occasion.

Butler the cat met Paddington back in January 2014. Butler was adopted his owner Annie’s family very early – but missed his mum terribly.

However, he soon found comfort in Annie’s other fur baby, Paddington.

In an article on Bored Panda, Annie said that Butler and Paddington’s bond was ‘instant’.

There are people who have exactly zero unread emails lighting up their screen, and there are people who have 15,098 unread messages to deal with.

It’s true, those are definitely two types. Type-A, super organised people compared to the lax, fly by the seat of your pants type who can let that messy red icon live on their phone screen.

Isn’t it lovely, knowing that you’ve got three whole days of the weekend rather than the measly two that you usually get? Swanning out of the office with your middle finger firmly up, off to enjoy 72 hours of blissful freedom.

Only, it might just be me, but I reckon there’s something sort of… stressful, about a bank holiday weekend.

Normally, I feel pretty sure in my weekend plans. Watching Gossip Girl wearing a sheet mask and drinking a lot of wine is my standard plan. And for a standard weekend, that’s fine.

But for her, this extended beyond feeling a little uncomfortable. Her body-related worries stopped her from wearing a string bikini for 25 years.
