We had three kids.

We had no money, really.

We lived in Peterborough.

Clothes came from Jumble Sales.

Holidays, if we had one once a year, we'd drive a car to a campsite and camp.

But you know when you don't know anything different, you don't know that there's not much money floating around, so it's just your life.

Then I remember my dad was suddenly away from us all the time behind this locked door in the house, which was his study.

And again, you don't relate to what's happening, but now I know he was doing an MA.

So he basically went back to college or went back to uni whilst working, whilst having three kids, whilst having no money because he'd lost his job and he was trying to educate himself to get a better job.

And so he would still at this time be working.

So he'd go to work all day, come home, do his degree all evening.

And then I think he went for like nine or ten jobs and didn't get any of them.

And again, you don't understand that stress.

And then as we got older, it was always all about hard work.

If ever there was a challenge in the house, we sort of lent into hard work.

And it was the answer to everything, which is why I was doing a paper round at like 12 years old.

Yeah, I only have memories of my dad working, basically.

Same as you.

He was a serious crafter.

He's 83 years old and is still working all day, every day.
