Question:

What makes your house a home?

Answer:

Aesthetics are important and I love all the books, photographs and fashion memorabilia, but it's the people in it and the good times we share, the laughs we have and the mess we make that makes my house a home.

Question:

What would your perfect day look like?

Answer:

After a night of uninterrupted sleep I'd wake early to cuddles with my baby and husband and head off for some me-time at the gym before breakfast, then we'd head into London town (I'd read all the way on the tube) and hang out; a fashion exhibition, some shopping, mooching about and going to The Palomar for lunch and champagne -  we'd head home, I'd have two hours of solid writing time while the boys snoozed, just about time for a game of tennis, then we'd head off to a huge house in the English countryside where all our friends and family would be waiting for a big party with great music before crashing out in a huge comfy bed and reflecting on my perfect day - doing the things I love with the people I love.

*too much in one day?

Question:

Who would you like to thank?

Answer:

(1) My Mum who helped looked after my baby today and used her Nana Superpowers to restore me and the house to some semblance of order and calmness and (2) My big sis who, despite being crazy busy in and out of work and raising her own children has offered to babysit so me and my hubbie can have our first date night for 9 months - I'm very lucky.

Question:

When was the last time you were ill?

Answer:

I honestly can't remember; since I had my baby boy Evan at times I've felt a little under the weather - but one of the things I've learnt about being a parent is you haven't really got time to be sick and I've learnt to power through...
