Heel and toe is when the right foot operates the brake and at the same
time rolls onto the throttle to blip while going through neutral during
the down change sequence. This stops the rears from braking away. GPL
automatically adds a throttle blip. You don't need the clutch at all.

Nope, with the clutch engaged. You'd usually do it to stabilize the car, or
to be on the throttle earlier, or to keep the drive strain under tension.

The ability to come down through the gears cleanly, without clashing the
gears, whilst braking for a corner is an art and separates the men from the
boys.

But I have a note from my mother that says I don't have to heel and toe
if I don't want to....

Upshift, yes, though I didn't like to do it, particularly when in someone
else's car.
But I was taught to always use the clutch when downshifting.
(We are talking "crash" or non-synco gearboxes here, of course).
