Alternative 39 Steps to a better life.

So even though country life thinks it's worth while I have managed to get to 32 without being able to sail across the Solent, and as none of my friend have a boat I doubt this will happen any time soon (I have taken the ferry though). I don't much care about how I should correctly address the queen or how to deliver a lamb.

My steps to a better life would start with:

Be able to quickly and without fuss use a self service cheakout (I can do this but if others could this would improve my life).

Any further suggestions?

Never read glossy magazines or the health tips in newpapers etc. Be happy with who and what you are. I don't want to run 10K every night or eat mung beans every meal.

Find a partner that agrees with you on that!

'Who agrees with you'. Doh!

Carry out minor household plumbing tasks.

Parallel park in a small space on a narrow car-lined road ( I can't do this but wish I could).

Did being able to swim feature on the list? I'd probably prioritise that ahead of the boating TBH.

No swimming wasn't on the list.
I definitely second the parallel parking and having lived on a narrow road for the past 6 years have this one down.

Also understand the fundamental principals of draining a box of wine effectively (without wasting a drop).
