What are you like in the morning?
I literally can't wait to have that first cup of tea. I'm not really a coffee person so it's all about a good old builder's brew. I'm a morning person, I think because there's always loads to do. Particularly as a parent, the to-do list is never done, so when I'm up, I'm ready to seize the day.
What's your worst habit?
I think my daughters would probably tell you that it's biting off my split ends in the car. I know it's so disgusting, but I find it quite comforting. It's nasty for everybody else who's observing it, but for me, I'm kind of like, 'What's the problem?' But I guess it is pretty gross. Apologies!
