I'm so incredibly proud of my hubby today. Four years of hard slog have finally paid off, and he is now official Dr Warrington. Wow! I'm even more proud today than the day he got his job. I actually burst into tears when I found out. So happy. I love that man.

Last week was quite a nice week at work, and I felt really bad to be leaving. This week is the week from hell and I'm so glad to be leaving!

Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry. I am a bad bad bad blogger! Hopefully, I'm now back, for the time being at least.

The house is coming along – the damp work is finally complete. The builder came and had a look around and thinks a loft conversion is a great idea, so we’ll probably be going with that in the New Year. We need to get up there and have a proper look around, but it’ll definitely be the master bedroom, and hopefully there’ll be room for an en suite shower room too. We had a brick pillar built in the living room this week to support the stair case as it was starting to sag. It looks really nice, but has taken quite a lot of space out of the room, which is a shame, but not unexpected. We’ve started to plan the layout of the room, and it’ll be lovely and cosy.

We need to get the floor leveled downstairs before we can lay the wooden floor, and decided last night that we’ll probably go for underfloor heating downstairs to free up a bit of space, so that’s the next job. We’re also in the process of arranging for someone to replace the floorboards upstairs, which will hopefully be within the next few weeks. Then it’s just a case of getting the carpets fitted and then we can move in! We’ll be giving all tradesmen a deadline of the middle of next month, meaning that we’ll have plenty of time to move in before the lease on the flat runs out on the 4th November. Then it’ll be time for Christmas!

I have a new job, which I start on the 8th October. I just wasn’t happy where I was – too many people just wander off all the time, and there’s not a lot of team work or communication, which was making things very awkward. I’ve never been able to see myself with the company long term anyway, as the it's just too big, with the focus on making money, not caring for the kids. My new job is working for a very small local chain – at the minute they have two nurseries and are opening a third in January, with plans for more in the future. I went for a look around before I applied and loved it. The facilities are amazing, and everything is very modern, and, more importantly, the focus seems to be on what’s best for the children. The uniform is much nicer too, which is a bonus! I applied, and went for my interview and got on very well. They understood all my problems with the current place and assured me that things are very different there. They will also support me fully with my training, and are keen to get me qualified quickly. I can really see myself progressing there.

I think that's all the news for now!
