0:00:06 > 0:00:09Best time of the day, this - when they're all out.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Nice and quiet.

0:00:12 > 0:00:13Gives you time to think.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Helps you clear your head.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17Shame it only lasts for two minutes.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Do you know?

0:00:22 > 0:00:24My Paul is worse than the telly these days.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27He will NOT leave off about the referendum.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29He started again, first thing this morning.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31"Have you made a decision yet?"

0:00:31 > 0:00:34I was like, "It's too early to be discussing politics.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36"Eat your cereal."

0:00:36 > 0:00:38So, he starts to ask the kids. I mean, honestly?!

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Like he'll get any sense out of them.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43I mean, they never have their heads out their phones.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47Don't get me wrong, I know how important this vote is,

0:00:47 > 0:00:50and there's not much time left for me to make a decision,

0:00:50 > 0:00:52but there's only so many hours in the day

0:00:52 > 0:00:54and there's a lot to weigh up.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57I mean, could we keep the pound?

0:00:57 > 0:01:00That guy off the telly promises us we can.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02"It'll all be fine," he says.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06Yeah, right, I've heard that one before.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08"Oil'll pay for it all."

0:01:08 > 0:01:11So, you can rely on oil for everything, can you?

0:01:11 > 0:01:14The kids' school? Our local hospital?

0:01:14 > 0:01:15Mum and Dad's pension?

0:01:15 > 0:01:20Hmm, it all sounds a bit TOO good to be true, if you ask me.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23You know, the thing is, I've heard plenty of promises.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25But straight answers?

0:01:25 > 0:01:27They seem a little bit harder to come by.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Paul says we have to do what's best for the country.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34That's why it's SO difficult to decide, isn't it?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37I'm just as proud of Scotland as he is.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40I mean, it's my country. Of course I want what's best for it!

0:01:40 > 0:01:44And most of all, I want what's best for my children.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45And their children.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51It's not like you can change your mind in four years' time.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55They have to live with the decision I make.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00Oh, I suppose that's why all this... uncertainty bothers me so much.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02The more I think about it,

0:02:02 > 0:02:05independence seems like one big gamble.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Like it's not been thought through.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10And there's one thing I do know -

0:02:10 > 0:02:13I will NOT be gambling with my children's future.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Do you know what?

0:02:22 > 0:02:23I've made up my mind.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25I'm going to do what's best for Scotland.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27So...

0:02:27 > 0:02:29that'll be a no from me.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Time to get to work.
