Is there an object or possession you turn to when you need comforting?

A natural way to answer

I have a favourite blanket that I keep on the sofa. When I'm feeling low, I wrap myself in it with a hot drink. It's a small thing, but it helps me feel snug and warm and a little calmer.

Key phrases to use

• cheer me up — to make you feel happier when you're feeling low“A funny video always cheers me up.”
• snug and warm — comfortably cosy, warm, and protected from the cold“The kids were snug and warm under the duvet.”
• wrapped in cotton wool — kept very safe, protected, and gently looked after“On bad days I just want to feel wrapped in cotton wool.”
• take the edge off — to make something unpleasant feel a bit less intense“A warm bath takes the edge off a stressful day.”
