I'm the kind of person who'll have a few drinks and fall asleep at 11.

My kids inspire me to be the person I am today - without them I wouldn't be who I am today.

I was fiercely independent and ambitious from a very young age.

I was the eldest daughter with these four beautiful younger sisters with ringlets and pretty faces, and I used to dress them up in Victorian clothes and take them out for the day and pretend they were mine.

From 16 years old, I wanted to have a baby, that's all I wanted.

I'm always the girl at the party who, within five minutes, has taken my heels off, hitched up my dress in my knickers, and probably spilt drink down my cleavage.

I've had four children and I've done a good job and I'm happy in life.
