I was always taught it was rude to ask

Based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, where it can indeed be pretty grim, I'm Pyramid Health & Fitness' Admin Assistant. When I'm not working for Alice, I'm looking after my three children and husband, studying for an MA in Applied Translation Studies, organising fundraising events for my younger children's school where I'm Chair of the PTA, doing additional freelance editorial work to keep the family in beans on toast just a little while longer, and doing voluntary work for Brake, a fantastic road safety charity based in Huddersfield (www.brake.org.uk)! That doesn't leave much time for exercise ...

France, French language and people, sunshine, blustery walks with my family, baking (and scoffing) cakes with my children, yarn and needles

Office politics, petty-mindedness, grey days, bananas, mushrooms

Blood red or emerald green

Macaroni cheese the way my husband makes it, homemade chocolate cake

Opening my eyes in the morning and then shutting them again

If I told you then it wouldn't be something nobody knows
