^ Not sure it counts as electrical but dear me, I never seem to be able to keep a pair of headphones or earphones for long. I do get the use out of them but they always die.
> Watching Mr Rogers Neighbour film again. I LOVE HIM!!!
v Tell me about who you love and why. I am a romantic.
^ I love my husband. I fell in love with him when I was 16. I met him at 15 but it was probably lust for the first year because he was (and still is) hot! I fell in love with him because he really cared for me, wanted to be with me all the time. He made an effort to make me feel special every day. Like I deserved to be happy and achieve things, like anything was possible. I remember we used to just lie down together in silence until we could hear or heartbeats synchronise. We still do that now. I love his strength, honesty and integrity. I love his sense of humour. I love his self confidence. I love the fact that he is spontaneous. I love how he smells, it makes me feel safe when we hug. I just bloody love him!
> watching the man I love sleep

v thinking of prison sentences, should life mean life? Interested in the philosophical debate!
^ in reply to this, this is my opinion. Not an absolute.. I feel yes to preserve the safety of people obviously. But then you have situations like Mary Bell and others who crimes were done in childhood and now they live in society.. So many reasons for crimes committed.. I do believe some can be driven to it from environment/domestic factors and believe also some are bad people.. So yes room for leniency..
> coffee break
v did you have any pre.conceived ideas on gamcare before you joined
?
^ I have to admit that I was apprehensive joining to start. I thought I would be the only female. I had no appreciation that sharing journeys with other people could be so powerful. I didn’t think that the advisors would be as amazing as they are. I thought it would be mainly about technical things I could put in place and wouldn’t be about emotional support which it clearly is.
