A worked example
Meet Claire, our example Mum
Claire isn't a real person, but mums like her are everywhere. This shows the kind of detail families send us, and what we create from it.
Claire
Turning 50. 90s pop lover, night-shift carer, tea-time therapist.
- Proper 90s girl with Take That posters
- Screams when Robbie Williams comes on
- Works nights as a carer
- Never missed a single birthday
- Cure for everything: a cup of tea and "right, come on then, tell me"
What her family told us
Mum is 50 this year. She was a proper 90s girl, tapes off the radio, Take That on her wall, and she still screams when Robbie comes on. She works nights as a carer and has never missed a single one of our birthdays. Her cure for everything is a cup of tea and "right, come on then, tell me".
The sort of thing a child might send us

Why the 90s matter
The soundtrack of a 50-year-old Mum
The early nineties were a time of bright colours, booming pop anthems and the first flicker of the internet. Kids like Claire would race home from school to set the cassette player to the latest Take That single, a ritual that turned a bedroom wall into a shrine of posters and dreams. When Robbie Williams stepped out of Take That, the chorus of his voice could make anyone in the house shout with joy, a memory that still echoes in the kitchen today.
Television was a mix of Saturday morning cartoons, the rise of reality shows and the occasional drama that kept families glued to the set. It was the era of "Friends" laughter and the glow of a CRT television that coloured evenings with shared jokes. Those sounds and sights sit beside Claire's night-shift stories, the quiet moments where a warm cup of tea becomes the universal remedy after a long day caring for others.
