Hello!

Long time, no see... I can't believe I have neglected this blog for a whole year and this week marks 7 years since being diagnosed with Kidney Failure!

I have been feeling the need to blog for a while but don’t really know what to say or where to start as I’ve been away for so long.

I suppose I should start with me and where I am up to at the minute. I am about to start full time work this week! I have been doing 3 days (30 hours) for some months now so I am hoping I will be able to cope with a full 40hour week, I will have Wednesdays off so aim to rest as much as I can then.

The other and probably most exciting news is that last week I started University! I am studying for my Early Years Professional Status which is the next step on from my Early Years Studies degree which I gained in 2010. I am will be at based at Chester University and the course will take a year, I only have to attend one Monday a month and every other Wednesday evening! Although daunting I know it’s a natural progression and something I need to do to further myself and my career. As part of this I will have to work with children of different ages which means me moving rooms within the nursery to work with toddlers. If I had a choice I would stay in pre-school, it’s the age range I’m most comfortable with, but I know it’s something I need to do and will no doubt adapt to in no time.

So 2012 looks set to be busy, exciting and full of change!

The end of 2011 was the hardest time of my life, I can’t put into words what I want to say about it right now but I know in time I will, so I will save that for my next blog.
