Role: Company Secretary

Deck the Halls or Bah Humbug? Erm sometimes I can be a bit of both depending just how many family ‘parties’ I have to go to.

Fave Christmas song/carol and why? It’s a common one but I love Fairy Tale of New York. It  reminds me of a winter visit to New York and a December trip to see the Pogues – and it doesn’t have any blooming sleigh bells.

Christmas dinner disaster? Nope none.  Although it’s always fun insisting my husband has to have a festive parsnip.

Best bit about Christmas? Christmas Eve – anticipation is everything.

Fave present ever and why? My Lundby Dolls House 1978 – real plug sockets, garage, stables and cutting edge Swedish design way before IKEA ever hit our shores...

If prepared, who would you like to kiss under the mistletoe? Well I know he has become increasingly tuneless and chubby but would like to fulfil my 13 year old self’s ambition and chose Simon Le Bon.

Send us a wish for Christmas. My Christmas wish is that someone in government wakes up and gives the NHS the support it needs... and that next Christmas doesn’t start being promoted before I have been on my summer holiday.
