Single and ready to jingle.

Everyone bangs on about summer being the time to be single, but actually you are all overlooking the sheer joy of a commitment-free Christmas period.

Forget feeling lonely under the mistletoe, you’ve got office parties and mulled wine on your side.

No I don’t want to sit on the M25 for three hours.

4. You don’t have to please your mother-in-law.

5. You can wear flannel pyjamas for 72 hours straight.

No shame in this game.

Choices, choices, choices.
