In this session, we have a friendly chat and I try to answer your questions. I talk about the British culture (Sorry I missed you / I'm sorry I couldn't get through to you on the phone)...

The idioms, phrasal verbs and vocabulary that I use are:
Bore you stiff = make you feel very bored.
Severe frost = serious / very heavy frost.
Temperatures will struggle to stay at 1 or 2 degrees.
I'm starting a clean slate. I'm going to live like there's no tomorrow.
Do wrap up warm = put warm clothes on.
See what tickles your fancy = see which one you are interested in.
Count yourself lucky.
Jot it down.
If memory serves me right = If I remember correctly...
