Summary

One phone notification is all it takes to send Nana P into a full spiral. She’s somehow ended up on Tinder, doesn’t know how she got there, and definitely doesn’t want to be there. Accidental matches, panic deleting, and the kids absolutely in bits. From swipe stress to real-life pressure, the chat quickly turns to money, mortgages, and the question nobody has a good answer for: how are you actually meant to live on that? Throw in acupuncture stories, throwbacks to nights out with no phones, and the usual brutally honest rants, and this one goes everywhere — fast.
