    And Gemmzie, I know how you feel on your lack of days off. Is this a 12 hour shift or are you on a lesser one?

    Nah it's less thankfully, I'm only meant to work 16-20 hours per week on doctor's orders at the moment.

    not at all, it's the whole following your team and being part of something that's a big part of the appeal (I think).
