We didnt ... we didnt use to talk very much, we werent very close, or if we were, we didnt show it. I remember I used to have my hair cut every Friday. My father and I would go together. I had the shortest hair in the school. When theyd finished cutting it, theyd burn the ends with a sort of candle. Oh Ill never forget that smell. 2. I got on very well with my mother.

And wed go out shopping or something like that. 3. Im not a very tidy person, but my mothers very house-proud, so shes always telling me to pick things up and put them away, and do this and do that.
