No one I know is actually so rude as to tell me I've become duller since having children. But I'm sure they think it.

I suspect most politicians feel overwhelmed because people's lives are a real struggle, full of unhappiness, and you would probably feel powerless to do anything about it.

It's actually very hard when you're settled in one place to completely uproot yourself and go.

I must be an anorexic because an anorexic looks in the mirror and sees a fat person.

I think it's so easy when you have children just to turn your focus inward on your family and because, when they're young, you don't sleep very much, you're walking around like a zombie most of the time anyway. It's a really important part of my life to have good friends, you have to work quite hard to keep the relationships going but it's worth it.

I've never been a fan of euphemism.

I'm a Luddite with computers, and I'm slightly worried about being hacked as well.
