Without knowing it at the time, probably when I was a kid with no responsibilities.
As an adult probably when I started going out with my now husband.

When was your most embarrassing moment?
Oh I've had far too many to list but one of them would be when I went into hospital in labour with my 1st baby and still being a bit shy of putting my bits and bobs on show. Until the midwife said to me ' Well love if you want to have this baby the knickers need to come off'!!!!!!!

By the sea.

What is your favourite smell?
Anything vanilla or the smell of hot chocolate, I never think it tastes as good as it smells.
