good work
I'm not good at cutting off from work.
good hourglass joan
A Joan Crawford dress looks really good on an hourglass figure.
absorb amazing conscious eat food good healer putting remembered vitamins
I'm very conscious about putting good food into my body. Years ago, I went to see an amazing healer called Allah, who could read your body. She told me that I can't absorb vitamins very well, and I have to eat the right things to get my vitamins. I've always remembered that.
afford buttons buy good instead job morning nice power proper work
My first proper job was as a commodities broker. I went off to work every morning in an '80s power suit. I couldn't afford a good one, so I'd buy nice buttons instead and make it look better than it actually was.
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.
good
I'd never have a facelift, as I have never seen one that looks good.
botox half move
I judge when I need a top-up of Botox by looking in the mirror to see if I can move more than half my forehead.
balance learn spend sure time
I'm having to learn to get the balance right, because if you want a full-time career, and you also want to be a mother who is there for your child, then you have to make sure that when you do spend time together, you're really there for them.
It's very exciting to feel like a different woman with a new identity.
energy kids older run slightly younger
I want to feel I have the energy I will need as an older mother having a younger baby. It's really important that when I'm 51, and my daughter is 10, that I feel I can still run around and do things with her, and feel the energy of a slightly younger woman having their kids at school.
We all know what we don't like about our bodies.
To me, a yummy mummy is a mum in her twenties, like Donna Air.
Even my basic, basic wardrobe is still pathetically colour coordinated. It just is. That is just me.
believe death diabetic eventually stops taking
To me, it is like a diabetic with insulin. If that diabetic stops taking insulin, they will die, and I believe that if I don't follow the 12-step programme, I will regress, and that could eventually be the death of me.
