My kids don't go back and forth; none of this 50/50 time with the mums and dads. My children live with me; that is it.
None of this 'different diets' lark. I can't remember the last time I tried some new fad.
No one has a right to comment on anyone's life or the choices I do or don't make.
No one can look bad when you've been lit for six hours.
My dad was very much a struggling actor and spent more of his life as a postman, as a member of a tarmac firm, as a van driver.
Mum and Dad were very much friends and up for life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up; they just taught me to be me.

My favorite breakfast probably in the whole wide world, real treaty favorite breakfast, is eggs benedict.

I have always been, and shall continue to be, honest when it comes to bodyweight issues.
I had a terrible bout of acne after I turned 30.
I have been a parent since I was 25. That's a large chunk of my adult life. Mother or father, it transforms you completely.
I hate people thinking I'm some pretentious fraud.
