Morning, sleep well? I never do. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’m always surprised when I can’t sleep at night but I shouldn’t be. My days are a relentless rollercoaster of adrenalin and anxiety, trying to plough through a to-do list that never ends. Why do I think I can just do all that and then lay down and gently drift off?

As a father to two daughters I am there first male role model and I’ll be honest that terrifies me. I am their advert for the male species and I don’t think I can handle that sort of pressure. On Christmas Day last year, the eldest witnessed me eating a pringle crumb direct from my own belly button, so I would imagine it’s not going well.

Let’s face it readers, everything is rubbish. It’s just awful isn’t it. We’ve just clawed our way through a global pandemic, now we’ve got a cost of living crisis, ministers who made us look like morons, monkeypox heading our way and Putin has lost the plot.

As the government start to relax the social distancing laws, it looks like we might finally be coming out of this nightmare. The year 2020 will forever be known as the time when your wheelie bin went out more often than you did.

Now it’s not just the conservative government who know how to organize a party, if you’re a parent of young children this is a skill you need to be hot on.

Jemma and I have now been married a while, fifteen years to be precise, or two mattresses as I like to think of it. I remember the first time I saw her, she gave me butterflies, which was a weird gift, but I liked it.
