Gaming has become a big part of life for young people over the last couple of decades.

Do you love or hate Mondays? Mondays are often the most hated day of the week. I used to hate them as I worked 4.5 days a week as an Operating Theatre Nurse. Normally, I worked during office hour and occasionally did shift work. It meant I had to wake up at 7am to get to work at 8am. I have never been a morning person and after having a weekend rest, Monday was not my favourite day at work. More things seemed to go wrong too like making sure there were beds available for the patients, surgery instruments, etc. But since I am a SAHM, I now love Mondays!
A couple of months ago, I was debating with my husband whether we should get the Minecraft app for Mr K. He had been begging for days.

I’ve since learnt that Minecraft is a Lego style adventure game which puts players in a randomly-generated world where they can create their own structures and contraptions out of textured cubes.
