There are moments to indulge and enjoy, but I always know when it's time to go home and wash my knickers.

I'm not the pedigree kid. I'm not classically trained. I didn't come from the fancy home, no.

Experiencing those moments of being alone... is a very, very weird flooring and exposing position to be in when you're just not used to it... But I've never been lonely. And with my kids Mia and Joe that remains the case.

None of this 'different diets' lark. I can't remember the last time I tried some new fad.

Mothers who work full time - they're the real heroes.

I love the routine. I love getting up in the morning and getting breakfast and packing lunches and doing the school run. Those things are really important to me. Because I think that those small but key moments are crucial for a kid.
