witch taxes cents
Of course, we all have to be taxed, but once you start to earn more than £150,000, and start paying 45 per cent tax, you are penalised. It is like a witch hunt.
cool inviting
It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home. There's no getting away from it: you have to clean.
home people community
Maybe, instead of paying so much in tax, the very rich could be incentivised to help their local community and young people who do not have a home.
people doe should
We should be encouraging people to earn a lot of money. I do not know one wealthy person who does not spend money - and most of them employ other people.
country thinking people
I do not think we should tax people to a point where they are looking for tax loopholes and getting their money out of the country.
people more-money deserve
Why do we consider that just because people have more money, they do not deserve it? It is totally wrong. They deserve everything they have earned.
knows
Those who earn money know best how to spend it.
moving home six
I have made six big home moves in my life and I have never lost money on one I have lived in.
lucky celebrate contracts
The late 1990s were good to me. I was doing the Lottery, GMTV and I had a good contract with ITV. But I was working so hard, I never had time to celebrate. I never thought I was lucky.
jobs thinking would-be
Often, there is a job - say, for a voiceover or an appearance - and you think: 'Blimey!' From the outside it would seem like you are being paid a lot for a short amount of your time. It would be inappropriate to share how much they pay, but in the industry we call it 'doing a bank raid'. Unfortunately, those jobs do not happen every week.
television littles pay
I had started working in television but it did not pay that much. I was 27, renting this little one-bed flat in Shepherd's Bush, West London, with a bathroom so small only someone of my size could actually get in it.
clothes vanity grace
I have always liked clothes - throughout my life, my saving grace has been my own vanity.
jobs school holiday
When I was 16 I got a school holiday job at Minton's pottery factory in Staffordshire, packing plates. For a month's work, I was paid £44. Everything I now know about the birds and the bees, I learnt there.
wise eye home
One wise decision I made was buying a plot of land with planning permission in Richmond, and building my own five-bedroom home on it. I sold three years after I completed the building and more than doubled my money. I like Richmond and always have my eyes open for other properties in the area.
