When I wake up on a Monday morning and I realise I don't have to go and work at the civil service, I really think I've won.

I'm a really heavy sleeper. When I wake up I'm a terrible morning person.

Your idea of bliss is to wake up on a Monday morning knowing you haven't a single engagement for the entire week. You are cradled in a white paper cocoon tied up with typewriter ribbon.

I think glamour all the time. I wake up in the morning and I'm already thinking glamour.

There are two tests in life, more important than any other test. On Monday morning, when you wake up, do you feel in the pit of your stomach you can't wait to go to work? And when you're ready to go home Friday afternoon, do you say, 'I can't wait to go home?'

I've been a pharmacist for 40 years now, and Monday morning I didn't want to come to work because I knew what would await me. Basically, we've got a travesty on our hands.
