Ms Monica Percy:

I am a bit like Deputy Ciara Conway in that I am a single working mother and know exactly what it is like to be busy. I got into bad habits. Takeaways are very handy when one is moving from one activity to the next. I got assistance in the programme to examine how I was handling matters. My two children are of an age at which they could get involved more. It is a question of sharing the load at home a little more. When I have time at the weekend, I do some bulk cooking so that when we are in a rush to get somewhere, there is something to hand. For this reason, I do not suggest going to the chipper quickly. A little planning is required. Effort is required initially but it is very much worth it.
