I turn 45 tomorrow, which feels like a bit of a milestone, doesn’t it? I’ve written a list of all the things I want for my 45th year. Apparently, if you write things down, they just magically happen - so I thought I should give it a whirl.

Here goes….

  1. Earn more money. Look, I enjoy being a single mum. I did it on purpose, but sometimes it would really, really help to have a second income. So at 45, I am manifesting a lovely pay rise – from my job, from my creative side hustles or from the lottery (despite never playing it). Who knows which!

  2. Get a TV show commissioned. A black comedy, with Sharon Horgan levels of success, ideally. No biggie.

  3. Go on some dates.
