I don’t generally drink on Christmas Day because for various reasons alcohol is a sensitive subject in my family and it’s just easier not to. Have never stayed up until 4am unless it’s with the aid of, ummmm, substances .... And if the day is hard to get through why would a load of people make it last longer than they have to? None of it makes sense to me 🤷‍♀️

I also don't drink due to living with alcoholism in the family blighting my early life, we had a fantastic alcohol free Christmas where none of the 5 adults present touched a single drop.

I'm not going to judge Jack on sleep.

I am autistic and part of that for me is a sleep disorder where my circadian rhythm is really messed up. I am very frequently awake at 4am, it is just normal for me. I took amazing medication that worked forabout 18 months and then my body just got used to it and it does nothing anymore. I've got melatonin and it really doesn't work very well in the long term so instead of trying to fight it I now just accept my body will sleep when it wants to sleep and live my life around my sleep pattern instead of driving myself into exhaustion trying to sleep when everyone else sleeps. I've never once taken any kind of substance which would cause me to be awake at 4am.

I don't believe Jack is autistic but do believe she has ADHD and sleep disorders are also a major part of that for many people.

I'm sick of people judging me for my weird sleep patterns, thinking I am lazy when I sleep during the day (dino nap?) etc so I'm not going to do the same to someone else.
 
Lads, we all know the 'thankyou' is a fake out right?
She does it on purpose.
She does it so her socks are less apparently her. If a sock writes with the space then we are supposed to think that it can't possibly be her.

She's a narcissistic manipulative twit.

You cannot control a cat's diet if you let them outside. As a dominant male cat he seems the type that would happily go into other people's houses and eat their cat food. I say this as my parents had the same problem recently with their large (6 kilos... not Cooper large) cat and why his weight was so high.

Cooper fully looks the type of would bully my sweet 2.5kg tiny elderly rescue cat which is why I irrationally dislike him so much. I know the type 😂

We have a large breed (half ragdoll half duck knows) and even though he is an absolute wuss when it comes to defending himself against cats far smaller than him (his reaction is generally to look surprised and then creep away really slowly) he definitely has at least four houses going by the amount of people round here that have said to me 'I found a big fluffy black cat in my bath today, was that your's?' (he goes to the toilet in the bath if another cat has used the litter trays or he cba to go outside) They're opportunists. My wife's cat kept coming back with kabanos last summer, no idea where she got them and who she had deprived of lunch and she's also very timid so can fully see Coopsy doing the rounds.

Most cats are dicks though. And greedy. It's not so much a personality trait for cats, just a way of life.
Source: me and my idiot cats that ate all the pigs in blankets when my back was turned for 90 seconds tops one Christmas.

I like that 'idiot cats' isn't just a phrase used in my house. Wife asked me the other week whether my little one thinks her first name is 'Fucksake' cos she's a little sod.

That's fair, and I don't mean to come off as judging people at all. It's just that in the specific tweet I was referring to, Jack made it sound like there were a whole load of people who were up until 4am on Christmas day sober-partying and I think that's a little different than not being able to sleep because of ADHD / insomnia. I didn't and don't mean to offend though and I'm sorry if I did.

So if the phone has started autocorrecting to thank(space)you instead of thankyou, does that mean she's had lot more sock time than Jack time recently?
