Mum was always hard-working. She came over from Spain and bought her own council house.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Mum was an absolutely determined woman. She was determined I would have a good education, and they went without all sorts of things to ensure it.
Money was tight and Mum used to do two jobs to support us.
My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.
Being mum is a number one job. That takes priority.
Mum was very cool. Even though she came from a pretty affluent family, she was cool. She was really good, a very normal person.
Mum and Dad split up when I was nine. We upped and moved from London to Sussex, and suddenly I went from an urban life to nothing in the countryside - with a new father and new life.
Mum was a tremendous Anglo-Catholic. Very impressive, actually. She made me go to church for years - I still don't want to because of that.
My mum Margaret was a single parent, but though life was a bit of a struggle she gave me every encouragement.
Mom was a housewife; Dad was an accountant. They taught me a lot about the value of working hard.
It's been a long while, but, thank God, now I've been able to get my mum a house.
