<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Do you check
 social media every two minutes? Are you constantly dashing around from 
this night in the pub to that work leaving do?  Are you constantly tired
 and worried?</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Of course you are, because you've got FOMO – Fear Of Missing Out - a condition that causes nothing but misery to sufferers. </span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">But the good news is, millions of us are now swapping FOMO for JOMO – the JOY of missing out!</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Yes,
 we're discovering the untold pleasure of staying at home, pottering 
around and taking it easy. Why? Well these are just 12 reasons why 
staying in is the new going out:</span></div>

 When you've had enough, do you have to apologise profusely for being so
 lame, spend half an hour looking for a taxi, then walk for miles in 
your heels til your feet bleed til you find a night bus?  No, you do 
not. Going to bed involves walking up the stairs and hopping into your 
lovely bed.  Just like that. </span></div>

 Getting another round in means walking three steps to the well-stocked 
drinks cabinet or fridge – not having to take out a mortgage then wait 
half an hour while everyone else at the bar is served before you.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><span class="mol-style-bold femail-ccox">3) </span>Because
 home cinema trumps THE cinema. Oh yes!  No annoying hooded teenagers 
texting throughout the film, no £8.95 boxes of popcorn, no other people 
rustling crisp packets.  And if you've got Sky Cinema, you can enjoy the
 latest movie releases like Spectre – which Sky Cinema is premiering 
this Friday, months before any other subscription service. </span></div>

 Save serious money. We mean it.  A family can watch brilliant movies 
like Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Star Wars: The Force Awakens
 with mountains of snacks on Sky Cinema for less than the price of 
taking a family of four out to a multiplex once (and that's before you 
even hit the popcorn stand)!</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><span class="mol-style-bold femail-ccox">7) </span>You
 know what the weather indoors is going to be like. And given the summer
 we've had so far, that means it's going to be preferable to shivering 
in a beer garden in the rain. So no more going out wearing shorts and a 
t-shirt but taking a cardigan, coat, scarf, hat, brolly and wellies with
 you just in case. </span></div>

 Girls, you can make like Miranda Kerr with a home face mask (honest – 
you'll look just as good as her…). In fact, why not have a long soak in 
the tub with a glass of bubbly and treat yourself to all manner of 
beauty treatments.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><span class="mol-style-bold femail-ccox">9)</span>
 Guys – while she's doing that, why don't you perform beauty treatments 
too …on the house? Try putting up that shelf like you promised. Or wash 
up. Or run the vacuum round. All without expecting a round of applause 
and year-long hall pass on cleaning, yeah?<span class="mol-style-bold femail-ccox"> </span></span></div>

 When you go to the bathroom, you'll be alone and won't have to fight 
your way to the sink through a sobbing girl surrounded by half a dozen 
friends saying: 'Babe, he ain't worth it.'<span class="mol-style-bold femail-ccox"> </span></span></div>

 Cuddle up to your cat or teach your dog a new trick – they'll 
appreciate being spoiled rotten. Just remember – they're not statues. 
Yes, Taylor Swift, we're talking to you.</span></div>
