So we know it's super sunny and all, and you're no doubt this very moment blowing on barbecue coals and wondering just how pink a sausage can be without giving you food poisoning, but spare a thought for your dating life for just a moment. Just as Sundays are generally the busiest day of the week on MSF, Bank Holidays do pretty well too, as there is plenty of time on a relaxed sunny day to check the MSF mobile site and find out who's around. So, don't be shy - get favouriting and flirting now!

As you probably know the brilliant Red Nose Day is back for its biennial television spectacular and is aiming to raise millions of pounds to help transform the lives of people in the UK and across Africa. We imagine there's all sorts of riotous fun going down today in workplaces across the country, or perhaps just a sober dress-drown Friday, but we hope you'll be pledging plenty of money to this fantatsic cause. Now, because we're fans of dating and flirting and, of course, a bit of kissing, we'd like to celebrate the day with this classic clip of the very lucky Dawn French giving Hugh Grant a right royal snog.

There's a rather cheering story doing the rounds at the moment about Nigella Lawson and her refusal to be airbrushed. The mighty Nigella is about to join US TV cookery comptition 'The Taste', which she describes as "...The Voice, with cooking", and is currently embroiled in all the promotional palaver that follows, including giant billboard posters all over America. So far, so usual, but Nigella has thrown a spanner in the works, and raised a cheer from all right-thinking food fans everywhere, by refusing to allow ABC, the company making The Taste, to airbrush her image.

So, you've eaten our body weight in Celebrations, you've drunk a river of varying types of booze and experienced a selection of hangovers, you've opened all of your presents and now you're in that slightly odd no man's land betwixt Christmas and New Year. What to do? Well (aside from frantically making a plan for New Year's Eve, having been all laissez faire about it and then falling into a panic when you realised that all your friends are going to glamorous party on a boat and you forgot to buy a ticket and don't want to see in 2013 drinking miniatures of Malibu and watching fireworks on telly), you should be logging in to MSF.

It's Christmas Eve and we'd like to take the opportunity to wish all of our MSFers a very happy Christmas indeed from all of the team! We hope you have a great time and we'll see you on the other side for more success stories, pictures, advice and news.
