My family are my priority but I've always had a strong work ethic and I like to be busy.

I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once.

I should have been out there having a wild time like all the other girls my age, but I wasn't. I was going home every night to what was, initially, a very happy marriage.

I have such a lovely life and I just never imagined that I would miscarry a baby.

If I had a dream show, I probably shouldn't even mention it in this climate, but it would be like a kind of Fix It show.

When I go to one of those singles dating parties I believe myself to be a bowl of fruit. When I talk to potential dates, I judge them by the smile in their lips, their smoothness of speech, and the whiteness of teeth; then I offer them the appropriate fruit, which is usually a lemon.

I want to be buried with a mobile phone, just in case I'm not dead.
