New Mascara
The Falsies by Maybelline is brilliant, I felt I had to let you know about it, I used to love wearing my false eye lashes but now I do not think Iwould have time to put them on and I would have to wear my glasses to see what I was doing, so I would likely …

What! Nurses Being Made Redundant !
I could not believe it when I heard about a grade six nurse being made redundant in Salisbury, only the week before I had been chatting to an old college of mine who also told me that the primary care trust for that area felt that we had to many senior nurses, the lady who …

It Has Been A Hard Week
I have found this week very hard, not so much in the physical sense but more in the situation of coming to terms with things that are out of my control. I believe that I now understand much more how Joanne feels and others when they talk about social services and the like coming into …
