If scout or guide badges were given out for adult life skills - which ones would you get?

I reckon I could pass 'making a good cheese sauce' and 'advanced excel skills'.

Listening to dm recounting me her weeks a activities on the phone and saying mmm for 20 minutes. Then not giving a shit!

Locating lost socks in the wash.

Smiling whist mother in law criticises me again.

Staying Alive.

And, being able to tune out from every social media ever.

That will keep you. Alive. And healthy.

Am also up for the Finding Things for other people badge, with special reference to I've Already Looked There and I Could've Sworn It Was There A Minute Ago.

Never seem to have the same number of socks at the end of the washing as there was at the beginning though, obviously need to work on that one
