What song will always get you on the dancefloor?

I will dance to pretty much anything, but my go has got to be MC Hammer, U Can't Touch this!

If you had a superpower for the day, what would it be?

Apparition (or as a non Harry Potter fans might say, teleporting!) I would start each day with a quick dip somewhere warm and would never be late anywhere ever again!

If you could instantly master a new skill what would it be?

Oh, to sing!

Which biscuit is your spirit animal?

Well I wasn't sure, so I asked the kids. Apparently I am a Custard Cream, as I may not look it, but I am actually quite sweet! Charming...

Pineapple on pizza: discuss

Of course!

If animals could talk, which would be the rudest?

Well my daughter's hamster bites me on a fairly regular basis, so she's got to be a strong contender.

You can only eat one snack for the rest of your life. Choose wisely.

Cream crackers with marmite and cheese!

What's your favourite micro-feminism?

I love them all. It's persisting with the small stuff that helps make big change. One of my favourites is assuming by default that animals or toys are female not male.

What's the best piece of advice a woman has ever given you?

A good one recently, was when a wonderful woman reminded me of what Maya Angelou said, that people will forget what you said and what you did, but not how made them feel.

What's a tiny rebellion you practise regularly?

It's domestic rebellion...when the children don't put away their shoes, I hide them in the shed (the shoes, not the children).
