- Philippa: (On how her style has changed over the years) As a teenager in the 1980s, I really experimented with fashion and wore some pretty outrageous clothes, as did everyone back then. But, as I've grown older, I tend to stick to greys, blacks, browns and neutral colours. Also, back then, I had both of my ears pierced twice and wore a lot of those horrible huge plastic earrings that were all the rage back then. Now, I hardly ever wear earrings at all, and on the odd occasions when I do, its usually just a pair of small diamond studs or something like that.

- Philippa: If there's one thing I can't stand it's fussy, frou frou fashion. I don't like being trussed up or wearing a lot of colour, but I like my clothes to feel good - tactile and comfortable. Textures and fabrics are important to me.

- Philippa: A few weeks ago, it was Fred's birthday, and we hired a magician to entertain the kids at his party. Afterwards, when we asked Fred what his favourite bit of the magician's show was, he said it was 'watching Mummy get sawn in half' - The things you do for your children!!
