Forgetting stuff is just human, especially when other things are on our minds.

Who actually enjoys skiing? Come on, even Olympic ski masters, even James Bond, think that dressing up in all that fluorescent, insulated kit and having to manoeuvre down a mountain in the freezing cold is no way to spend leisure time.

I had a go with Botox but looked both scared and surprised at the same time. I don't like to be either.

I watch 'Question Time' religiously.

Jane Austen is one of my all-time favourites.

Seriously, Jamie Cullum could be the smallest person on the planet. He might be lovely and charming and you might think we all should spend more time talking about his piano-playing techniques but, seriously, have you seen how short he is?

The character of Samantha Jones proved that women over the age of 40 could be magnificently sexy and attractive to men of all ages.

Christmas is not a time for laughter. Christmas is a time for pain.

Now, like a lot of parents, I have to fight with myself every time I leave the house not to buy my children more stuff.

Yes, of course I love little Sarah Jessica Parker. I love the fact that when she accepts awards, she thanks everyone she's ever met and inanimate objects that have 'been kind to her.' And I love the fact that she hasn't had a flesh-coloured mole removed from her forehead (I'm not making it up; have a closer look next time she's on the screen).

I don't work very hard. I dye myself orange and I read out loud in the months from September to December when 'Strictly' is on.

I'm confident without make-up on and I only wear it for work.
