It was the middle of the morning when I marched through the swinging kitchen doors and told my mum I wasn’t ever going back to school. She wasn’t particularly pleased. She was stood in the kitchen pretending to do something domesticated. My mother can’t cook. She simply can’t cook. When my father was drinking, he used to hide his bottles of booze in the oven because he knew she wouldn’t find them in there because she never opened the bloody oven door.

She said, ‘If you’re going to leave school, Kelly, you’re going to have to be home-schooled.’

She brought in a tutor, but that lasted all of two weeks. Within three days I’d talked the tutor into doing all my work for me.

I thought I might like to work in the fashion industry or become a make-up artist. I’d grown up in a musical family, so working behind the scenes in the music world was also something I was considering. I had always been interested in how bands developed their image and brand.

My mum was adamant that I get a job if I was going to quit school and I was up for it. I started working in the office of a music management company, just off Robertson. I was literally starting at the bottom as the office girl, otherwise known as the coffee slut! I guess what my mum was trying to teach me was that just because you quit school you can’t sit at home all day. I still had to get up and go to the office for 10 a.m. I’d make coffee, answer the phones, do the post and send faxes. I really enjoyed it. I got paid a hundred dollars a week. I learned so much and I wasn’t at home sitting on my sorry arse. It also made me realise that sitting in a classroom just wasn’t how I was going to learn. That first job taught me what it’s like to be in an office environment. I had to be responsible and it taught me how to be disciplined. The only person who was going to get me to work in the morning was me.
