Quizzical everywoman and stand-up poet Kate Fox explores some of the things she does not want in life (and which she's cheerfully failed to achieve)

Find out how much she鈥檚 saved emotionally and financially in the process.

Kate kicks off with the subject of the perfect body.

Every day we鈥檙e confronted with images of perfection, but do these unrealistic ideals actually reflect the diverse society we live in?

How guilty should you feel if you both agree that speaking out against the bodily exploitation of Miley Cyrus was an inspiring feminist move, and at the same time find yourself thinking that Sinead O' Connor would look ever so nice with a short bob?

Kate has a past of yo-yo dieting and bad make up application - and somehow missed the memo when "all the ladygardens went Kojak" back in 2006.

With personal grooming over a lifetime coming in at 拢234,000 for women and 拢75,000 for men, could this be spent in other ways that make us feel good. A season ticket to Diggerland, a Nando's Gold Card, your own private forest?

Kate Fox is from the North East of England. She鈥檚 contributed poems and comic pieces to many Radio 4 shows like Saturday Live, Wondermentalist Cabaret, From Fact to Fiction, Woman's Hour and Arthur Smith's Balham Bash.

Producer: Lianne Coop

An Impatient production for 大象传媒 Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2017.
