It’s ok to…

  • …lick the plate when you think no one is watching
  • …sniff the clothes in a heap on your floor to check if they are still wearable (yep, even your knickers!)
  • …tell someone you’re “just leaving” when you’re actually still half asleep in bed
  • …get irrationally hangry (definition can be found here)
  • …quickly make up an elaborate and completely unconvincing story involving the combination of an escaped cow, a broken car, crazy traffic, a malfunctioning alarm clock and alien landings to explain why you were late for work (though not doing this too often is advisable)
  • …congratulate yourself for not getting unexpectedly pregnant as a teenager
  • …stay friends with people on Facebook even though you haven’t spoken to them in years, just so you can stalk them occasionally
  • …have cereal for dinner when you can’t be bothered to cook anything else
  • …post a birthday card 3 days after the special day and blame the Royal Mail
  • …add to a personal Pinterest board full of wedding ideas when you’re still single, not yet engaged or already married
  • …feel tipsy after one glass of wine (just admit that you can’t keep up with the old “you at university”)
  • …want a hug from your parents when something goes really wrong
  • …treat yourself to a whole bag of malteasers after a hardcore workout (we know it’s undoing all of that work, but it would be worse to eat the chocolate without doing the exercise right?!)
  • …find loads of clothes you want to buy from expensive shops, then head to Primark to find the equivalent at 1/3 of the price
  • …eat your breakfast at your desk because that extra ten minutes in bed seemed far more productive
  • …still listen to Harry Potter audio books in the car (or in bed when you’re going to sleep…just like you did for your entire childhood)
  • …cover over a big spot on your nose with the snapchat bar (selfie perfection!)
  • …put on a sad film when you’re feeling a bit crap, just so you can have a good self indulgent cry
  • …be really cross with someone for what they did to you in a dream, even though you know it wasn’t actually real
  • …eat Nutella with a spoon from the jar (wasn’t that it’s original purpose?!)
  • …take photos of everything, much to the annoyance of everyone around you #bloggerproblems
  • …secretly enjoy really crap TV programmes, but never admit to watching them
  • …write lists for everything, including lists of your other lists and lists of things you’re trying to convince yourself that it’s ok to do…
