If you’ve recently broken up with someone, and you’re finding it exceptionally hard to move on, you could be an ‘exaholic’.

Therapist Dr. Lisa Bobby explains: “An exaholic has a very difficult time moving on. They’re hooked into the relationship, and it’s difficult for them to heal and move on. They will use words like devastation and talk about the loss — they tend to think fairly obsessively about their ex and have trouble in day-to-day life as a result of that.”

If this sounds like you, don’t worry. Dr. Bobby has created a 12 step program for sufferers hoping to recover. And if you think she’s being a bit overly dramatic, then listen up: “Getting over the loss can be one of the most traumatic and difficult challenges you’ll face. To others this might sound overly dramatic. To such judgmental people, serious problems include such things as a cancer diagnosis, getting laid off at work, and other ‘real problems’ and ‘real life challenges.’ But what you go through is certainly very real!”

So there. She’s got a point too, break-ups are HARD, even if it was your decision. Check out the website exaholics.com if you’re feeling like you could do with some help!

Oh, this certainly made us LOL!

This guy got a new phone and decided to do the obvious – take a selfie!

Little did he know his family wanted in on the action too and hilarity ensued.

The images surfaced on Reddit when the guy’s brother, user pick_em_up_truck, uploaded an image of  himself, another brother and their dad all copying the exact same pose. Photo frame and all!

Meanwhile, the ladies of the family weren’t going to sit back and got in on the action too!

Sister, Reddit user youdontknowmyname uploaded an image of the entire family, writing: “My youngest brother got a new phone and took a selfie. Us girls wanted in on the fun.”

Ah siblings…aren’t they just the worst?!

There are some things in life that can make us super, super mad. Even if they aren’t that big of a deal, we can often be seen FREAKING out over some of life’s little annoyances. Here are some of the worst offenders:

1. Sleeping through your alarm

tumblr_mkqimsIvr61ruw1vso1_500

Just five minutes…another five…and another. Until next thing you know it’s 11am and you’re over two hours late for work. Nooooo!

2. Having no decent, clean clothes

tumblr_lrr2hcXk411qkmpj8o1_500

Seriously? Didn’t you do a wash like, yesterday?!

3. Discovering there’s no milk for your cereal

angry

Nothing but an empty carton. Not even a drop left for a decent cup of tea. Who would do such a thing?! They WILL pay.

4. Missing the bus

Another one will come along in 5  minutes, it’s not so bad. 45 minutes later, broken umbrella half shielding you from the rain – still no bus.

5.Bus journeys

tumblr_lxx1sgE1m11r4bya6o1_500

Is there anything as bad?

6. Getting your feet wet

Ah the sun is out – flip flops! Halfway to work there is a downpour. An entire day of squidgy feet is just the worst.

7. Being really hungry and getting a horrible sandwich

giphy

Well, in fairness, why did you think egg mayo and tuna would work? It’s always such a panic at the deli counter.

8. Someone standing on your foot (and not apologising)

Rachelwitch

The height of rudeness.

9. A missed call from a private number

miley-mad

Great, that was probably your big break.

10. Stupid spam emails

Ooh an email! Noooo…

11. Attention seeking Facebook statuses – Hope Y3R óK HUn

“PM me hun.”

12. Your mother

Wrestling-she-mad

Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE our mammies. Just not at 7.30am on a Saturday morning when they want to know if you would like to go for a walk.

13. Wearing too many layers and sweating profusely

tumblr_inline_molnamJ1L81qz4rgp

Being all sweaty and stressed is enough to provoke anger, but add a fear of sweat patches and smelling into the mix and it’s enough to make you want to jump into the cold recesses of the nearest pond.

14. Having a low phone battery and no charger

9107821

Nothing beats the self inflicted anger that you will feel, upon boarding a bus and discovering that your phone is nearly dead. Fantastic, a two hour bus journey without music or internet. How WILL we survive?

15. Spending ages making dinner and then burning it

tumblr_n2ldk5MsK81sh0yuao1_500

HOW did that happen?! You were SO careful this time!

16. Finally getting into the shower and finding there’s no hot water

ngr

SERIOUSLY?!

17. Tripping over in public (when alone)

tumblr_llknx2gZ9X1qkufaeo1_500

Should you laugh at yourself? Ignore it? Oh Gawwwd.

18. Meeting someone you don’t like

cheryl-piss-off-gifz6zwg

You look like crap, and now this? Ugh.

19. Being too hot under the duvet but too cold without it

tumblr_n3bvxdbg7b1sl0m4zo1_500

So uncomfortable.

20. Not being able to sleep even though you’re really tired

tumblr_m41p0jkbOC1qldudx

Now your going to be all tired again tomorrow. Such a vicious circle.

After searching high up and low down, the world’s best diet has finally been revealed and it is not too far from Ireland – well, not really…

Channel 4’s documentary, The World’s Best Diet  awarded Iceland the sought after title because of their diet of fresh fish, good quality meat and dairy. Apparently, the Icelandic have the secret to living longer and eating healthier.

Each country or tribe – yes, they even looked at tribes – in the documentary, which was presented by Jimmy Doherty and Kate Quilton, was ranked according to diet based on weekly grocery shop and daily meals and obviously Iceland came out on top.

Italy came in a close second and Greece a close third with the league table basing their findings on life expectancy, obesity, heart disease and diabetes in each country.

Unfortunately, Ireland didn’t come in the top 10 but here is the full list in case you had dreams of living in a country where the people have a good, healthy diet.

1. Iceland
2. Italy
3. Greece
4. Seventh Day Adventists (form of Christianity)
5. Japan
6. Sweden, Norway, Denmark (joint)
7. The Kuna Indians (Panama)
8. France
9. Spain
10. The Netherlands

The Marshall Islands came last so you might want to avoid here if you want to stay healthy…

Kate Middleton has finally gotten a makeover – though it might not quite be what we all wanted.

Rather than the Duchess of Cambridge changing her dress sense, hair, or even make-up, it’s her waxwork in Madame Tussaud’s that been given the style treatment!

The new waxworks of both the Duchess and her husband, Prince William, were updated from the previous figures from their engagement photo back in 2011.

This time round, the couple are seen looking very fancy, with the Prince looking dapper in a tuxedo and the Duchess in a turquoise gown with her trademark hair pulled back from her face.

If you’ve grown bored of the décor in your bedroom but don’t have a lot of cash to spare giving it a complete revamp, don’t worry. There are some simple things you can do to breathe some life into a tired space.

Cushions
You can get cheap and cheerful cushions in Ikea or even Tesco that will brighten up your room. If you’re a crafty type of person, you could make new covers for your old cushions out of any material you have lying around – it’s always nice to have a personal touch!

New furniture
Ok, so this might not sound like a budget friendly option, but if you look on any of the Freecycle websites, you never know what you might find, and it won’t cost you a penny!

Change things around
You’d be surprised what a difference you can make by simply moving your bed from one side of the room to another. Just beware of uncovering a LOT of dust and/or cobwebs!

Mirrors
It’s always nice to have some pretty mirrors in your room. Screw them to your wardrobe doors or strategically place them on your wall so that they increase the light in the room.

Change bed clothes
Whether you want to go out and buy a brand new duvet cover or just change it to one you already have, changing bed clothes is definitely a great way of giving your room a facelift.
