We mothers of grown-up daughters tend to view them with a mixture of love, exasperation, irritation and awe.

I adore clothes - they're my weakest link! My mother was the same, and she taught me always to look polished.

I was thrilled when a designer shop assistant said I was a size smaller than Madonna!

I like one nice man because he gets three tickets for the cinema so we've got somewhere to put our coats. He passes the test. I've been quite surprised because I really didn't expect to be wined and dined, and it's quite nice.
