I am quite happy to take a cut. You've got to, if you want to work and continue working.

What was I drinking last night? Furniture polish?

Every week I have a disaster in my kitchen. The fire alarm goes off repeatedly. But it doesn't stop me being adventurous.

The worst drivers are women in people carriers, men in white vans and anyone in a baseball cap. That's just about everyone.

I don't want to sound like Catherine Cookson but I've worked since I was eight, with a paper round and in a fruit and veg shop. Taking a pay cut won't demotivate me, not at all. It's not about money in the first place. It's about the job.

Times are hard and friends are few

I love looking after animals. I find it very enjoyable.
