father long childhood
I spent my entire childhood living abroad because of my father's occupation, so we were on long-haul flights all the time.
class goal priorities
When popularity is your only goal, doing well in class is going to feature very low, if at all, on your priority list.
cry queues length
I cry at everything, even the length of the queue at Sainsbury's.
doctors magazines normal
I don't subscribe to the 'Doctor Who' magazine and we've only got the normal amount of 'Doctor Who' fridge magnets.
people done way
I have never done a package tour in my life. It appeals in a way, but then I remind myself that you can't control the other people with you, which could turn out to be ghastly.
family home years
Does everyone turn into a truculent thirteen-year-old when they go home, or is it just me?
people weight saws
If no one saw - it didn't count. It's only when you eat in front of strangers or people that make you feel guilty that food is really fattening.
mother cancer father
My mother, father, stepmother and surrogate mother have all died of cancer; my best friend has got terminal cancer and at least five of my other friends have had cancer but survived it.
book doctors names
I met Tom Baker doing a voice-over when David [Arabella's friend, David Tennant] wasn't at all well known. We were doing this voice-over together and I said to Tom, 'Oh, my friend's a really, really big Doctor Who fan,' and he replied, 'Wait!' He got his cheque book out and asked, 'What his name?' I said 'David Tennant'. He wrote, 'To David Tennant, seventeen pounds forty five', signed it and I asked him what it meant. He said, 'He'll know'
son years class
Call me an over anxious, middle-class mum, but my eight-and-a-half-year old son looks very much, to me, like he's headed for a life of crime.
motivation emotional thinking
I don't think I've got the expertise with which to nit-pick, and I freely admit that my motivation to support charities has been emotional, rather than as a result of being particularly well informed as to how the money is used.
thinking better-life one-thing
If there's one thing I know, it's this - everybody thinks somebody else is having a better life.
beautiful scotland west
Both Plockton and the Isle of Muck in north-west Scotland are incredibly beautiful. Sadly, Plockton has been discovered by tourists because it's where they shot Hamish Macbeth.
kids class race
Look, I want what's good for everybody. I want to promote good state education for all. I want to raise standards for all kids, irrespective of race and class but why can't they all just do what I say when I know I'm right?
