I've got to be honest, we may as well call it a night #DuvetKnowItsChristmas
I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas

He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic

Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates

He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den

I don't get people who write cards like this:

"To Jim,
Christmas Wishes,
Margaret."

Mine are more like:

"Dearest friend,
This Christmas, please remember I love you more than life itself. You are the finest person ever to exist. Remember when we were seven and you sneezed in my face -"

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

He's AMAZING 😍❤️ I'm a lucky one x
It's been another, I think @hellybellyb.bsky.social will agree, shit year. One of the major challenges has been having to go completely gluten free as a household. Anyway here is our Little Christmas dinner. I did a pretty good job for my first #GlutenFree Christmas. #FoodPorn

I also want to say thank you to the person who introduced me to the French word 'beaucoup' this year. It means a lot.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

This past month or so I have been telling people that I like their dresses/shoes/jumpsuits. Because everyone likes compliments, and I only do it when I genuinely mean it. Always makes my day if strangers tell me! Today, may have taken it too far... complimented a little dog on their jazzy jumper...

Hi @zatutrade.bsky.social - just wanted to let you know I tried to purchase something but I couldn't because the checkout wouldn't let me progress. Had about 5 or 6 attempts at refilling in my info, got frustrated so bought elsewhere. Can't tell you what it is here (spoilers) but can DM u if needed?
