“As parenting goes, knowing the whereabouts of one's children is pretty fundamental.”

“Teaching kids to respect rules is key.”

“Lots of people ask me, 'What do you do?' Apparently, being a columnist, TV bird, all-round good egg, mother of three, and wife of one is not sufficient for them.”

“We may think we live in a digital age. But there are some things technology will never replace.”

“I have strong opinions, and I am not afraid to share them.”

“I've said in the past that if I were Prime Minister, I would ban obesity.”

“I was a really bad single mum. I used to go to the supermarket just for somewhere to go.”

“Work is hard, and jobs can be dull. But you can't just take a holiday when you feel like it. You turn up because it is the right thing to do.”

“If you are confiding in someone, it needs to be the woman in your life. If that woman is your mother, you may as well scuttle back under her petticoats and let the real women in pencil skirts and tortuous heels get on with the job of husband-hunting.”

“Stay-at-home mums love working mums to feel guilty. They sacrificed everything for their children.”

“There will come a day when someone calls to tell me my column's been binned, and that will be a really hard day, and I've already got it set up so that they'll ring someone else first - because I don't want to be given that news when I'm walking down the street, because it will be really heartbreaking.”

“I am a big believer in fun for free.”

“Many teachers seem to believe their opinions are right, and therefore, all other viewpoints are wrong. And they are indoctrinating our children with their beliefs.”

“Women simply cannot stay home and get to the top at work.”

“Living in the 'Big Brother' house is a bit like living in hell. Only hotter.”

“If you teach a child that appearance doesn't matter, what will be the next thing that child asserts her individuality over? Turning up on time? Turning up at all?”

“Nothing makes me want to scream louder than oldies doddering on to a train at a slow shuffle when the rest of us are just trying to get on with our day.”

“Being nice can make you feel very happy.”

“Own your problems.”
