I have a fear of poverty in old age. I have this vision of myself living in a skip and eating cat food. Its because Im freelance, and Ive never had a proper job. I dont have a pension, and my savings are dwindling. I always thought someone would just come along and look after me. – Jenny Eclair
Im very jealous of my daughters education. Shes been inspired by her teachers, and nobody inspired me as a teenager. – Jenny Eclair
