Nicola Bulley has been missing for 12 days and police are no closer to understanding what happened to her.
Known as Nikki to those that love her, the agonising wait for answers is almost too much to bear for her partner Paul, her sister Louise and her devoted parents Ernest and Dot.
But the 45-year-old is also known as mummy to her two little girls - Harriet, 9, and Sophia, 6 - who are "missing their mummy desperately".
