I've never once heard my mum shout and she's 83 now. She's incredible. She's very, very happy, slightly eccentric but loves laughing, which I do too.
I cannot do the piece-of-talking-meat thing, the 'Here's your money, wear a pretty dress and take the cheque.' I'm not made that way. I have to be as good as I can be at whatever I do.
I drive a tiny Toyota iQ. I'm quite frugal and often cut my own hair.
The first couple of days on the detox diet aren't pleasant.
