I am so thrilled to be talking to you today. What a life we are all living right now! I don’t know about you but I’ve had my ups and downs during lockdown. None of us have ever experienced anything like this, have we? My dad always used to say that the war years were the best time of his life. “Oh Dad,” I’d say. “You can’t say that, bombs falling, air raids…” But he said it was because of the camaraderie, the caring nature of people. I never understood until now, but we are all in this together and we all need each other. As the Queen said a few weeks ago, in her speech to the nation: “We will all meet again”. I don’t know about you but I’m living on my own. Not being able to see my daughter or grandkids has been really difficult, but I have been looking after two guinea pigs that belong to my granddaughter

Molly. If you’ve ever owned guinea pigs, you’ll know they aren’t sweet little things you can pet!

Every time I clean the cage and put in yet more food they nip me. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you...

Every morning I do my hair and put on as much make-up as possible. My mother always said: “Never put the bins out unless fully made up and always wear high heels to hold your stomach and bottom in.” I don’t always wear the heels, but I never answer

I’m missing my grandkids like crazy...

the phone without lipstick.

I do my show Wonderbirds every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4.30pm so I have to be made up then, but I make a habit of getting ready and made up every other day as well. It helps me keep strong, and I even tell people that I’ve just been out for lunch or afternoon tea in my fantasy world of lockdown. Then there’s my ongoing glasses drama. I’ve got about ten Poundland pairs and I normally have two or three on my head at any one time. I then get very cross because I can’t find them. The problem arises when I sit on the pair I keep in my knickers and snap them, then bend down to pick up the broken pieces that have fallen out of the bottom of my trousers, then all the glasses fall on the floor! Time for a glass of something to calm my nerves… ‘I never answer the phone without lipstick’
