'Friday night is take-away night, it gives us a break from cooking and it's the perfect chance for the kids to have fun learning about different cultures. Whether we're eating Greek , Chinese or Indian we'll make an effort to play music from that country, the girls will dress up in traditional clothes and we'll dance around the house. I like to be in bed by 10:30pm as i'm an early riser and because I have Crohns disease- A chronic illness that affects the digestive system - I do need my sleep.

Saturday mornings i often have to be up at 7am to go the CDUK studios
and coach performers who'll be singing that morning. Whether it's Mel C or Atomic kitten they'll need to warm up their voices before singing live. I'm normally home by 1pm and David will have made lunch, so i'll spend the afternoon baking with my eldest daughter. We have an open house policy so there's always people around and beds on the floor, but in the summer we tend to live in the graden & swimming pool.

But David and I need times to ourselves too, so sometimes on Sat night we'll get a babysitter and go on a date. Sunday morning the children get into our bed and when we get up David might make us all smoked salmon and bagels. I'll battle to get the girls afro hair into shape before going to our local Anglican Church. Sunday afternoon is always very sociable- we have lots of people
over. There's always a great mixture of writers, singers directors and students. We've got a huge snooker table and playing on it will go on late into
the evening. When i was growing up I wasn't really allowed friends over so now i like the house to be filled with laughter food & music".
