Yes, being educated is definitely an advantage. But having said that, I've met so many people in life who haven't done very well at school but who are still really bright.

I was an only child, but then my parents resettled with different partners, and I am now one of six.

It's hard to feel comfortable in your own skin when you're younger.

I've got a thing for footwear; I have about 200 pairs of shoes from all over the world.

I didn't feel so great when I was a teenager, but who does?

My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces, but then as my mother always says, you can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.

I can definitely tell when mum has got money because then she likes to go shopping to spend it, whereas dad is steadier and avoids splurges. I like to think I've inherited both sides.
