I am not Superwoman. The reality of my daily life is that I'm juggling a lot of balls in the air... and sometimes some of the balls get dropped.

I am not Superwoman. The reality of my daily life is that I'm juggling a lot of balls in the air trying to be a good wife and mother, trying to be the prime-ministerial consort at home and abroad, barrister and charity worker, and sometimes one of the balls gets dropped.

Song?, ... The Beatles? Where's my wife? Anyone who thinks this is scripted this morning, this is certainly not scripted.

I'm an incurable optimist, and I'm a great believer in never looking back. Life is too short, and new challenges are exciting.

Women tend to judge other women harshly. We should be kinder to each other, accept that we're all different and can make different choices. Not go for some kind of stereotypical idea that we're perfect. Frankly, I'm not perfect.

I think I'm one of life's copers. And picking myself up and dusting myself off and starting all over again is one of my mottoes, actually.
