0:17:43 > 0:17:45- It's hard work and stressful.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- If it gets too much, - just take a step back.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Sleep on it 'til the next day.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- I'm a mother of three.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- I wash up and clean. - I don't do things like this!
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- But I wouldn't be without it now.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Don't give up. It's worth it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- It's all worth it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- One or two have been up - since five o'clock this morning.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- Others slept here - to make sure everything was OK.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23- Now for the main attraction, - the big competition.

0:19:12 > 0:19:17- I'll keep my fingers crossed that - she'll be crowned queen today.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19- I'm the one who's nervous now.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20- I'm the one who's nervous now.- - Yes!
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- Manon did a great job. She can relax - while she waits for the results.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Will she be the best queen - in the Bangor carnival?
