I was sort of wifed off. Now I do use my social media. I wasn't really as on it as the girls, who were really career focused. I was a little bit more chilled."

"I’m at the age now I want a baby and I’d love a family," she explained.
"Like nothing more than I want right now is to have a family. So this is like why I have a journal. I put all my plans in it. If you look through it you’ve got a five-year plan, what you want, how you're going to achieve it.
"A relationship is quite a big thing and when I do meet someone I know what I want that person to be and look like to a tee. From what car he drives to what his eye colour is. When I meet that person I don't think I want to let him into my life too soon. I’m going to do it differently this time."
