  • Is it wrong that when One Poll asked me whether people put Christmas decorations in their bathrooms, the first thing I thought of was newgirly 🤔?
    This and then The follow up question was would you be disappointed if you visited someone who hadn’t put Christmas decorations up in their bathrooms. Like what??  I’d be thinking they were strange if they did decorate their bathroom!!

    It's not just me is it, but it feels colder than normal in November?  I'm sat here with multiple layers on, 2 blankets and a hot water bottle and I'm still freezing at my desk!

    Actually, I had a Christmas-themed special edition air freshener in mine a couple of years ago. Didn't feel quite so festive when it was still going strong in March though!
