I’m currently sat with a raging hangover, still in my pyjamas and covered in bruises from last night’s birthday celebrations at the local roller disco (who’d have thought we’d be saying that in 2014?)

This happens a lot nowadays, especially with the influx of social media and the inevitable purpose for which people use it.

As I sit here writing this, tucked up in bed with the rugby on the telly (COME ON ENGLAND), a bit of a hangover and an unexplained broken toe (pay day, plus booze…) I feel like the safest and least spontaneous person on the planet.
