Me, buying a red Christmas outfit for the kiddo in early December, thinking I’m smart and getting ahead of last minute daycare clothing requests.
Daycare, with 1 day’s notice: Please have her wear green on Friday.

Never been quite as seasonally depressed as when I was working through a London winter. No sun before getting to the office, no sun after leaving for the day. Brutal.

After my second solo 14 hour flight with a toddler in three weeks, I can confidently say, never again. Everyone can visit me from this second on. Someone invent teleportation.

They’re not wrong
You only got 27 chances to take a photo, seven of them were of your finger, nine looked like they’d been taken in a heavy radiation zone, most were blurry, your eyes looked red like the devil, someone *always* had to say “you haven’t wound it on!” as you struggled to click the button, you had to get them developed at Boots if you could be bothered and the last two were just photos of ‘outside Boots’ because you had to use them up… but the disposable camera was simply the best photographic device of all time.

Did everyone else get woken up at the crack of dawn to watch the hottest 100 that is #blueyfest?

sure people start getting engaged, married and having kids, BUT something nobody truly prepares you for about your late twenties is how many of your friends start running marathons
