The realities of working for the NHS

I think most people are aware to certain degree the strain the NHS are under. For just under 2 years, I worked in the Radiology department of a very busy hospital in Sussex. I witnessed such a change in not only the physical area I worked in, but the difference in staff around me. The

Born in the 90s: Children’s TV shows we grew up with

Welcome to the first in my new series, born in the 90’s! I thought this would be a really fun way of looking back at some of the best things about being born in the 90s (early 90’s for me) Whether it be the TV shows, the 10p sweets or the toys, I will be

An interview with: my 3 year old niece

Today I spent a few minutes interviewing my 3 and a half year old niece. Her name is Amelie and she is my sister’s daughter. The questions did take longer than expected as half-way through she needed a toilet break, to which she was telling me all about her new toothbrush and exactly how many
