It’s often difficult to find that ideal living situation and even harder to find that ideal housemate. But when you do, the two of you just know that you are both going to be housemates forever:

Know each other delivery orders
You know each other’s orders off by heart. More importantly, you know when you desperately need to hear that phrase “fancy a Chinese?” Because it is literally what you’ve been thinking about all day.

Her family is your family
And vice versa. Whenever you’re on the phone to your mum, she always asks about your housemate and your housemate’s mum always thinks to send up some extra treats for you to have as well.

You have a routine
If she has a fella around, you know it’s a good idea to spend the rest of the evening in your room. But you don’t mind, because you know she would probably do the same for you.

Know too much
You both know way too much about each other. Seriously – way too much.

Best nights in/out
Whether it’s staying in or going out altogether, you two always have the best nights.

Sometimes, it’s the things that take a little bit of effort that make the sweetest gestures!

Has your BFF been there for you every step of a break-up, have you gotten the best pressie ever from your favourite aunt or did all your mates come to your party when you feared nobody would show?

Surprising them with a simple ‘Thank You’ note will probably make their day!

Here are a few tips on how to create the perfect one.

Better late than never
No matter how much time has passed, still send a note. Simply start by apologising that it took you so long.

Keep it simple
Skip cards that are already printed with ‘Thank You’ on the front in favour of a nice design. Select a simple block or script font and look for flat versus fold-over cards. This means there is less room to waffle on a bit, and instead leave a simple, but lovely message.

Don’t mention it
Don’t mention any amount of cash – for example ‘Thanks for the €50, I bought new shoes!’ Thank them for the ‘generous gift’ instead. On top of this, never admit you’ll be returning the gift! And don’t toot your own horn – ‘I’m just the kind of person who appreciates her friends’. A thank-you is about them, not you.

Hard Copy or digital?
Do you need to pen a card, or will an e-thanks do? Ask yourself how memorable you want your gesture to be. An email gets the point across, but something handwritten leaves a lasting impression.

Do the maths
Add up these six elements: Dear So-and-So + Thank You For The Gift Or Action + How You Enjoyed It (or plan to) + Something Nice About The Giver + A Desire to Catch Up Soon + Sign-Off = job done!

Would you burn a salad? Do you friends grimace when you invite them over for supper?

Cooking is like flirting – it’s all about the confidence.

Once you feel at home in the kitchen, you’ll be a culinary goddess in no time!

Here are a few tips on how to boost your confidence in the kitchen.

1. Keep it simple
You don’t need to kick off your culinary tutorials with a super complicated dish! That would be like trying to run a marathon before you’ve even master the ‘Couch to 5K’ app! Start with a few simple recipes that need few ingredients and not much time to make. Once you’ve got the hang of them, you can move on to something a little trickier.

2. Invest in the right tools
Again, it’s like buying a decent pair of trainers before you decide to start running! You don’t have to spend a ton of money, but it’s worth investing in a few high-quality basics, like a good chopping knife and the right pots and pans.

3. Make it a labour of love
Rather than making some super healthy dish because you feel like you should, start with a recipe for one of your absolute favourite foods, and maybe a little bit naughty too. Looking forward to trying it afterwards is motivation enough to get you cooking!

4. Read the whole recipe

There’s nothing worse than getting  halfway through a recipe and realising you don’t have everything you need.  Read the whole recipe before you start, and make sure you have all of the ingredients on-hand. Try to follow the recipe to the letter the first couple of times you make it. Then, after you’ve mastered the basic version of the recipe, you can move on to trying out some variations.

5. Stick to what you know when cooking for friends

It can be super exciting to try a new recipe out on your friends, but it can be stressful too! Finding that thing you’re really good at making builds confidence, because who wouldn’t feel amazing about her cooking skills after mates gush about it all night!

He asks you to hangout
A sure sign that he has no romantic plans for the evening. Even though we can spend hours trying to figure out guy code, sometimes there is no code and your fella simply just wants to hang out.

No touching
If he was remotely attracted to you, he would make some subtle or sweet attempts to embrace you. Sometimes, it can be intentional and sometimes, it can be done subconsciously. But if you give him ample opportunities to make a move on you and he doesn’t oblige, safe to say he’s not interested.

Your one of the guys
If you hang around with his friends a lot, especially if he isn’t there, that’s a sure sign he doesn’t view as a romantic partner. If he was really attracted to you, for the first few weeks anyway he would definitely want to keep you to himself.

No effort
This is hard to tell, as a lot of guys don’t make an effort in general. But if he really liked you, he wouldn’t definitely go out of his way, to woo you off your feet.

1. The attention seeker

732060-ku_medium

Every gang of girls has one of these, the one who always has to be centre of attention. She’s loud, and tries to be ‘like sooooo funny!’ Especially around boys, everything is about her, she has to look the best, and pull all the good lookin’ lads on a night out, her eyes turn green if the best looking guy in the pub is talking to your other friend. They’ll always act really dumb and be all ditsy and girly girl.

2. The clingy one 

tumblr_inline_mz7rnk2Hyd1sohk3w

The one who is just slightly obsessed with you. She makes plans for you without even asking are you free, she texts you 24/7, just to let you know she’s eating Chinese and oh oh will you go for a run with her tomorrow to burn it off . She gets jealous if you make plans with other girls “like, why didn’t you invite me??” even if she doesn’t even know the girls.

3. Two faced

tumblr_ljvx3wRbtl1qakf1z

Every girl bitches, about everything and every one.. but some girls just take it to a whole new level. She will jump at the chance to bitch about a mutual friend, so what makes you think she doesn’t do the same to you? The Regina George kind who will tell you your top is just fab and as soon as your gone say “that’s the ugliest top I’ve ever seen” You don’t need these people in your life.

4. Drags you down 

Napoleon-Dynamite-GIF-Dance-move

These type of friends are difficult, it’s like they do it so sneakily but they will break you. These kind of girls just hate you doing better than them, and will always try drag you down.

5. The Bad influence 

helena_bonham_smoking_gif__must_see__by_oceanum_mma-d5bkwc3

Okay so your friend is a slut, doesn’t mean you have to be too. She wants you to go to house parties so she can get the shift with a ratio of 10:1 on boys to girls, and you’ve a boyfriend, sorry no. They try make you do all the bad stuff they do, regardless of what you want to do.

6. The copy cat

catelyntyrionwhattheactualfuck

We’ve all been there, the one who has everything you have, wears everything your wear and does everything you do. No one wants to go out dressed like the Olsen twins.

7. The user 

BitchAreYouSeriousLoki

So you got a new car – and she’s back in your life again! There’s also the kind who literally uses you as a friend, and makes you do stuff with them because: “come on, no one else will come.” They will drop you like a plank of wood once something, or someone better comes along. They text you for the first time in weeks and how convenient those new boots you got would go perfect with her new dress.

8. Anything you can do I can do better

robert

Having a friend like this can be exhausting. It’s like you’re in constant competition even if you don’t even know it.. you finally got that perfect matte shade of red you were looking for, but oh wait hers is MAC. Your going on holidays with your boyfriend and staying in a really cool hotel with.. “I know but OURS has a pool view room with stools in the water. Your doing sunbeds while she’s secretly doing an extra three a week on the sly just to be darker than you. #exhausting

9. Having to tip-toe around them 

oliviapopescared4

This type of friend probably doesn’t even realise they’re doing any harm, but they’re the most difficult friend to have. You literally have to watch EVERYTHING you say around them in case they go off on one. They ask for your opinion, and then get bad if you tell them something they don’t want to hear. You feel you have to think before you speak for the fear of: “whaaat?? what did you say??” They can also be an emotional mess, and cry at the slightest thing. Or the opposite and roar and shout at the smallest thing, either way.

10. The flirt

80209-Zooey-Deschanel-flirt-cat-gif-mfYx

These girls aren’t really friends, they could be part of your group, or someone you hang around with from time to time, but you wouldn’t trust them as far as you’d throw um’. You already know they’ve slept with your friend’s boyfriend and is seemingly proud of it, so what makes you think she wouldn’t jump at the chance to get up on yours? She uses Snapchat like a porn site, and craves attention off all your male friends, It’s ok to be worried if she’s constantly texting your boyfriend ‘for a lift’.

Notice a certain decrease in your Facebook friends recently? Well, here are just a few of the possible scenarios that probably got you unfriended in the first place.

School friends
Let’s face it, you two haven’t seen each other in over seven years so, is it really that surprising? If your honest with yourself you’ve no interest with what’s going in their lives and if they hadn’t unfriended you in the first place, well you probably would have sooner or later.

Too many friends
Nothing personal but, this person simply had too many Facebook friends and unfortunately you didn’t make the cut.

Different opinions
It can happen and in the long run you’re probably better off, as you’re only going to get into nasty commentary debates on Facebook that never end well.

Post too much
This can be a common sign that you might be spending too much time online? There’s nothing wrong with expressing yourself but, posting every five minutes will definitely give someone cause to block you from their newsfeed or remove you altogether.

 Vaguebooking
If you can’t talk about something on Facebook, then it’s probably best you don’t post a vague, annoying status about it.  Because nothing annoys your Facebook friends more, than Vaguebooking.

Being single can be awesome but like anything, there can be downsides.

Phone dies
Nothing can be more awkward for a single gal, than eating alone in public. This problem is only made worse when your mobile phone suddenly decides to die. What can you do but eat your meal in silence and just stare into space, hoping at the same time, that no one is staring at you.

First dates
You’ve gotten to the stage where you would nearly rather stay in than go on another dreaded first date. It’s nothing like the movies and there are no jokes about splitting the bill.

Be less picky
A common phrase uttered by our loved ones, but usually comes from those who are in a happy relationships and haven’t been on the horrible dating scene in years.

Pity
Some of your friends act like being single is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. Even after explaining in some detail that you are quite happy with your single status, you still receive those annoying pitying looks.

Did Courteney Cox get engaged?

Well, the massive sparkler on her ring finger tells us yes.

The former Friends actress has been dating Snowpatrol musician, Johnny McDaid since the end of last year and reports say the couple are living together already.

Now it would seem they have taken their relationship a step further and gotten engaged!

Johnny has become a permanent fixture in Courteney’s life since her split from actor David Arquette in 2010.

He is often seen with her daughter Coco also.

If the rumours are true and the ring is an engagement ring – you heard it from Ed Sheeran first.

The Over Exaggerator
They’ll say things like“we were soooo good together,” when they clearly were not and dramatically declare they’ll never love again.

The Bitter One
They can no longer see anything good in the world and the relationship itself has become the reason why everything is just so awful. They will belittle everything and anything they can on the way to becoming the Grinch 2.0. Pull them back and show them that there is hope

The Drunken Mess
Okay, so many of us head straight to the bar when a relationship breaks but this person takes it a step further with stained clothes, lack of showering, constant drinking and lots of crying…just think of JGL after having a knife stuck in his heart in (500) Days of Summer.

Gender Hater
Their girlfriend/boyfriend has dumped them, therefore all women/men are absolute bitches/bastards.

The Hopeless One
Nothing makes sense, the world is a dire place. While it may feel like the worst, the breakup doesn’t mean that they’re condemned to being forever alone. It’s just hard for them to see  that they’re going to be fine when their heart has recently been broken. It will fade away, but you’ll probably have to motivate them to go looking for someone new.

The Recluse
Your friend has become a self declared man in the iron mask, hiding behind curtains and not keeping any form of respectable hours. Respect is something they will probably lose for themselves for a while. Keep an eye on them now that you have identified the symptoms.

The Black Sheep
Hello friends, I’m baaahhhck. All through the relationship you rarely saw them yet now it’s over they are in your face 24/7. Now you wouldn’t mind generally because true friends put up with each other struggles but when they spend all that time talking about the break up, things can get a little….irritating.

The Cray Cray
Stalking exes, getting drunk and a general mix of all the other points in this article. If this is what your friends has become, take a firm right hand, extend it over your left shoulder and release a giant back handed wake up call to them. They need to get a grip and move on. While they are down they need to be told that its just life and they need to focus on the positives.

Eat, Sleep, Break Up, Repeat
This person has the ability to move on at record speed and will probably have had more relationships than you’ve had hot chicken rolls.

Every relationship is different and what works for some couples, might not work for others. Here are four common relationship rules, which seem to be driven everywhere but don’t really apply to everyone.

Your partner has to be your best friend

The relationship between you and your partner is entirely unique to what you have with your friends. So, just because you don’t like the same things or don’t want to do everything together doesn’t mean your relationship is doomed.

You have to go everywhere together

Not true. He doesn’t have to go on your girly nights out, just as much as you don’t have to go on his boys’ nights. Sometimes, time apart is very healthy for a relationship.

Pick your battles

Yes, compromise in a relationship is important. But if you’re holding back on something that is really upsetting you, it will only make things worse in the long run. It’s best to have proper open arguments with your partner, instead of constant passive aggressive comments that go nowhere.

Don’t listen to your friends

If all your friends have the same bad opinion about your partner, you should listen to them. Sometimes they can see something, that you may be blind to.

Ever since the hit sitcom finished over ten years ago, there have been constant rumours surfacing that a Friends reunion could finally take place.

But it seems Courtney Cox squashed all our reunion hopes, when the actress said “its not gonna happen.”

Courtney was appearing on American chat show, The Late Show with David Letterman when questioned on the possibility of a reunion. But the 49-year-old actress revealed it was too difficult to organise, as everyone is busy with their new schedules.

“It doesn’t happen. I mean, I can get the girls to come, maybe Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc cancelled last time, Schwimmer lives here, so it’s just not going to happen.”

As heart-breaking as that is to hear, we can still dream that our six favourites might get together some day in the future.
