Idioms – Food

I would like to go to England. Nonetheless, I do barely go there

because I think tickets are not cheap as chips. I want to earn
some money by getting a part time job. Notwithstanding,
enterprises say m qualifications are not high enough to get a job
since I do not have a degree nor a driving license yet.
My friends do tell me England is the apple of their eyes since
they do enjoy going there. They tell me I have to stop saying I
have bigger fish to fry because they know my little secret. I am
afraid of flying and I feel anxiety.
I know that there is a lot on my plate and that avoiding travelling
would make me say there is no use crying over spilt milk. I do not
want people to think I am a couch potato because I feel full of
beans and I really want to. Even though I take planes with a grain
of salt.
I promise I would do it next year.
