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'm too frightened of confrontation, so I will always tip - even if the service has been really shoddy.

I'd never really thought about it before, but now you ask I can see that how my parents handled money definitely affected my relationship with it.

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

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.

Someone had my number and they started text-stalking me. I've never replied to them. It was tempting to write back, but I resisted.

I do find it a bit disconcerting when your name becomes a brand.
