My life has filled up in so many ways.

I've cut out so much rubbish that was just nonsense.

You know, and I really genuinely, I mean, for someone who's quite self-aware, I am quite self-aware, but I honestly really believed, Ray, that part of my great crackness out in the world and all the fun and people would tell me I'm really funny, I'm great.

I really gave alcohol like so much credit for that.

I know.

That's the only thing, like there was one column I wrote about day drinking and I'll never do that again with my friend.

Like just drink was ever present.

And I did.

I was a very much a, you know, yeah, drink your head off and life will be better kind of person.

And then I just realised like, I mean, I still do it now.

I'm out and I'm being like the raconteur.

I'm kind of making everyone laugh.

And I still think to myself, you're just quite a cool, funny person.

Like the wine was nothing to do with it.

And that amazed me, you know, and that first Christmas Eve, like I have Christmas Eve with my sister every year and she makes a lovely meal.

And we, I mean, it's a lot of champagne.

I mean, she wouldn't drink as much champagne.

It's just that I'm involved.

So I bring more champagne and then we drink loads of champagne.

And that first Christmas Eve without champagne, like we've been doing it for 20 years, you know.
