You know it's time for a New Year's resolution to lose weight when you step on a talking scale and it says, "One at a time, please.

I used to get a lot of people saying 'Oh, you are such a lucky granny.' But the fact of the matter is you can be a grandma at 35 these days.

Even when I wasn't overweight I was never one of those girls or women who wanted to look nice. I always thought it wasn't important.

My doctor told me I should get out of breath three times a week, so I took up smoking.

I've always liked to think I could do anything I wished as well as - if not better than - a man. But I wasn't very good at rally driving.

I'm a real Kentish maid, you know.

Even nice things don't make you happy when you're tired.
