driven family focused good quite
I think I'm very focused and am quite a good multitasker, and I'm quite driven in knowing what my responsibilities are to my family and knowing what I've got to do to do that.
I would never go out in track bottoms and a baggy T-shirt.
enjoy morning waking
I enjoy waking up in the morning and thinking, 'Who do I want to be today?'
stories
I don't have a problem with the stories saying I'm skinny at all.
country faux love
I'd love to say fashion faux pas differ from country to country, but they don't.
Even my basic, basic wardrobe is still pathetically colour coordinated. It just is. That is just me.
My grandfather was Scottish, born in the slums of Glasgow.
okay running shorts tailored uniform
Shorts are practically a uniform in every woman's closet. Tailored shorts are okay for running around, and if you're 18, you can get away with cut-offs. But it's very easy to make a mistake with shorts.
I was a very unconfident teenager. I wanted desperately to fit in.
jeans tend wear women
Many women are pear-shaped and tend to wear jeans that are too loose. They need to focus on what jeans will re-proportion their body.
buy jacket women
So many women buy these boxy, shapeless jackets. I always tell them to buy a jacket one size too small to get the right fit.
nine
I've been nine stone for 20 years. I always eat what I want; it's not an issue for me.
age companies perhaps tv women
Perhaps British TV companies don't want women my age on screen. I don't know.
bum
I've a big bum and chunky calves. My husband says I've got elephantiasis of the legs.
