I have worked and earned all my life and have found that divorce is an expensive process. Whichever way you look at it, you are going to halve your wealth. If you can avoid it, do. It is an awful process.

I have always liked clothes - throughout my life, my saving grace has been my own vanity.

When I was 16 I got a school holiday job at Minton's pottery factory in Staffordshire, packing plates. For a month's work, I was paid £44. Everything I now know about the birds and the bees, I learnt there.

There's no getting away from it: you have to clean.

If you are a housewife, take pride in that.

It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home.
