What time did you get up?

I was awake at 5, but made myself stay in bed till 6. I was tossing and turning all night. I usually get up by 8, I'm an early bird. A morning person. I'm not much use in the evening - the opposite to the other Spice Girls, which can be a pain.

Who was the first person you spoke to today?

Ying, my assistant. I must have been in a right mess this morning - do you know what I did? I was running the bath, and I didn't leave it that long, but it overflowed. It was like a big pool, so I woke her up to help me soak it up with loads of towels. Ying is - are you 31 now? She's 31. She's from Rhyl in Wales, her father was Chinese.

Where are you right now?

In my kitchen. It's quite big. I've got one of those nice big stainless steel fridges. You know, with the double doors and the ice? It's great. When I moved into the flat, it was already done, so I had all the top gear in it. I think I've got teak - is it teak? - cupboards, and a little leather booth. I've got a stainless steel table as well.

What are you wearing?

A DKNY vest, it's violet. It's a very calming colour, isn't it? And jogging bottoms - I've just got back from the gym. They're a more purply blue. No shoes or socks. No make-up and my hair's all greasy from a treatment at the gym. One of those algae wrap things.

What's your most recent purchase?

I went shopping in Hampstead yesterday for some pressies for Phoenix's birthday, Mel G's little girl. Some old-fashioned toys - a little wooden mobile and a dragon. Sunday's the best day in Hampstead. In fact, I think it might be a good place to pull. You'll probably see me roaming the High Street, looking for the father of my children.

When did you last get drunk?

My friend's birthday on the 28th of January. I was doing a radio thing in Manchester. We went out for dinner after and got disgustingly drunk on champagne. I had a dreadful hangover. They seem to last days. I always want a McDonald's, but I never have one. The smell makes me want to be sick.

What's your most recent journey?

I flew back from Germany yesterday. I was in Cologne doing a TV show - it was a complete farce. It's a fantastic show, but a bit of a shambles. They played my songs in the wrong order. It's exhausting, travelling. And some airline food is weird. I didn't touch it, but they gave everybody beef for breakfast.

What's the most recent domestic thing you've done?

Cooking last night, a stir-fry. I used to do all my own washing and stuff, then it got to the point where I just didn't have the time. Mind you, when the Spice Girls lived together, I was the tidiest, the one who was always washing-up. I've just got out of the habit. And when you can afford a cleaner, you don't want to do it yourself, do you?

When did you last have a snog?

Gosh, that's a bit personal! Probably on that drunken night out on the town, actually. Not since then, I've been a busy girl, working. It was somebody I'm fond of, yes. Somebody you might know about? Possibly. And it was a good snog, yes, they're a good snogger. I'm not even going to tell you initials. I'm going to keep you guessing.

When did you last cry?

Watching Sixth Sense. I absolutely adore Bruce Willis, he's my hero. I was just crying uncontrollably. Big quiveries, you know, `Urh! Whurh!' Like that. Red nose, red eyes, the works. Thank God I was in a hotel room, not a cinema. I can sometimes just shed a tear, but if I've got to get it out, it's a sight to be seen.

What are you going to do when you hang up?

I've got to find out - is Emma coming? Yes, a lady is coming round to talk about decorating my bedroom. I've had it painted blue, but that's quite cold, and it's got a very high ceiling, so I need it warming up. Tonight I'm just going to sit in front of the telly. I'm making the most of my time in England, catching up with the soaps.
