And there not being 29 of us in one house.

Yeah, my mom's an angel.

So it was 29 of us.

We got some extra rooms built onto the house from housing commission.

They built some on.

I think it was like three extra rooms and a bungalow.

And she did this thing.

So my mum was a full-time nurse, incredible woman, did it her whole life.

And...

She had this whiteboard and across the top of the whiteboard, she had all of our names and down the left of it, she had all of the chores.

So like kitchen, cooking, laundry, folding clothes and so forth.

And wherever our name was placed is what our jobs were.

So she would come home from night shift at like 5am, wake us all up.

I don't know how I got this job at the rightful age of 12, 13, but I was the chef.

Yeah.

And if you know me now, I burn toast.

And so what I would do is get, we ate in like groups of 10.

So I'd get like 10 bowls out, two Weet-Bix, hot water, milk, sugar on the table.

They eat, I quickly washed them the next 10.

Whilst everyone was doing their chores.
