I am not a deep person. If I won the lottery I'm basically spending that money funding a romcom with Glen Powell in the lead, Jason Statham as a Dad and Jenna Ortega as the kickass.

I do not remember signing up to be the keeper of the household inventory. Obviously I know what we own and where it is. But not my actual job.

I will never stop being grateful that paying for plumber to come and fix my hot water is an annoyance, not a crisis or an extended period of sink washes. Not being skint changes EVERYTHING

My daily challenge - other than actually facing the day - is to find something good in the media. Ideally an actual news site, but a great TV or food review? A cute cat pic here? That works. We need to find the small joys to face the 'waves around at everything else'
