I'm very devoted to my kids - I'm completely blind to their faults.

I wasn't hugely popular at school. In fact, I was bullied at school.

A Local Government Stationery Store is something to behold. It's like walking through the back of a cupboard into a really dull Narnia.

Middle-aged women on telly is a bit of a hot topic - before, we were 27 to 37, and now we're 40 to 50. You do notice as you get older... you go past 35, and suddenly you're playing baddies.

The siblings of special needs children are quite special. Absolutely accepting and totally loving, from birth, someone who is different mentally, and has a different way of seeing the world, is a wonderful trait. It's a trait I wish there was another way of getting, but there isn't. And it does involve a degree of not having it fantastically easy.

Getting a new passport took me a stupid amount of time. I had to go back five times with different photographs because they kept saying I was smiling, which is against the rules. I was not smiling.

All I want to do really is get married and be a matriarch.
