I'm just going through process. You complete everything online and need to send off ID docs plus your long birth cert and Irish born parent's birth cert. Online process fairly straightforward. You need to get your photo verified by a witness (form lists who is acceptable), they will ring your witness to check they know you and their profession, make sure you use a witness who can answer a call like this during their working day...mine has been delayed as they have advised they tried several times to contact witness without reply so i have had to get another witness to verify.
Does the birth certificate of parent need to be original or photocopy ok do you know? My mum’s is pretty moth eaten

Indeed. Comparison is the thief of joy! I might be talking shite here but I heard somebody did a study and the biggest correlator of happiness is not how much you earn, but how much you earn relative to those you are around on a daily basis. Because people are forever comparing themselves to the people in their immediate bubble. It's the old keeping up with the Joneses way of thinking.
I think once your basic needs are met and you have sufficient security, income has diminishing returns, but it's hard to see the wood for the trees when society expects you to have certain means.
The more money you have the less appreciative you are IMHO.
If you won’t think twice about spending a couple of hundred on a meal out with the wife then it ends up feeling ordinary when you do go out - a classy restaurant is just like going to McDonald’s. So you end up finding ever more swanky/special ways of spending your money to make those dates not ordinary. it’s all relative.

My government pension has now put me on a K code, does that make it a good salary?
The incombent government are not getting my vote freezing tax allowances until 2028 is bloody disgraceful.

Pretty sure you need original plus parents marriage cert if married as these need to be posted (Id recommend signed for service about £8), you will also need your long birth cert naming parents, if you havent got this you can order a copy online from local authority where birth was registered.
