The Lifestyle Questionnaire.

What time do you wake up?

6:30, to get my 6 year old son ready for school. On weekends, I sleep till he wakes up.

What is the first thing you do when you start work?

Greet my team, check bookings, discuss any issues and needs, check emails.

How much time do you take for lunch, and what do you eat?

Lunch…? I have a bad habit of eating on the go, but I do try and eat as healthy as possible.

How do you deal with stressful periods? How do you get through them?

By pushing through! Going for runs helps and so does that glass of bubbly at the end of service.

What do you do when your body is screaming for a nap but time is lacking?

I have another coffee.

What is usually the peak of pleasure in your day, and what do you dislike the most about a typical day in your life?

Peak: spending time with my son, Thomas, and having dinner with him and my husband (also a Chef!) before going back to work at 7pm.

Dislike: getting up in the morning and dealing with emails!

How do you fill your leisure time?

I spend time with family, run, go to the gym… But unfortunately, there never seems to be much leisure time!

What time do you usually go to bed?

Around 1:00 and 1:30.
