In another life, I power dress in big shoulder pads, have perfect make-up, unchipped nail varnish, gorgeous shoes and drive a cool, but economical, car. Something like the Volvo V60, probably. I holiday in the Maldives and New York and I feature regularly in a glossy magazine such as "Cheeze" or "Hey There!", with photos taken inside my £2.8 million mansion, naturally.
In reality, the alarm doesn't go off in time, I throw myself down the landing, screaming at the 13 year old to get out of bed, splash water on my face, rake a comb through my hair and think myself lucky if I end up with matching shoes. My family holiday is two weeks in a sunny prison camp where I am encouraged to join in the group pool games and eat chips with everything, including breakfast. But why am I telling you this?
