I had - and still have - a great dad. I loved my childhood and was sad to see it go. I miss my mum: she passed away a few years ago. But I had a good upbringing. Over to you!

Paula have you thought of putting this sort of personal stuff in WOF diary?

Most of us have WOF diaries, and they are ideal for this sort of personal stuff, or just little thoughts that we have that we would like to share.

My childhood was ok, some good, some less so. Safe, would be a good overall description.

Caution, I am feral.

My childhood was a bit old fashioned with the discipline so was painful at times but I was a bit of a rebel. It was a good childhood though as we were safe, well fed and generally happy. We were not rich but dad always had work so we were never on the breadline but he did have to work hard. Farm workers were never well paid.

My grandfather had been a farmer in Ireland in the early 1900's - 1984.

1984 is the year my grandfather died. My grandmother - Mary - died years later: on my dad's birthday, would you believe. Plus, one of my aunts has her birthday on Valentine's Day. Lucky, eh?

My family tree is really interesting.

But that's the way the world is, James: if you don't look like you deserve that desk, you're not going to get that desk.

I feel that I had a great childhood. Both of my parents are loving individuals and instilled what i consider the good values that I have today. of course if i swayed, which I did while growing up, I was disciplined.

Chase your dreams. In high heels of course.

Swaying was obviously a bit of a faux pas in your house then?
