It’s been a while *I keep saying that don’t I?! – but I’m back with my Five Fab Things post. They are the perfect reminder of all the great things going on, and especially fab for recording un-seen stuff happening behind the scenes in the Button house. Here are my Five Fab Things from this week.
You may have spotted that we are having a loft conversion done! Yassss!!!! And, I cannot believe I’m saying this, but the building work has nearly finished… already! The house is a little bit quieter, while the roofers are doing their thing, and in the lulls of peace, I can’t help grinning from ear to ear. Because without a doubt, we’ve had the actual A-Team working on our loft.

I don’t have a pic (yet!), but in this gap should be a photo of Charlie (PM), Luke (carpenter) and Jake (carpenter) from Sunlight lofts.
From their expertise, undeniable skills in their own areas, to their patience and banter, they have each made the experience of having a loft conversion an absolute pleasure. And, we cannot recommend them enough.
Having any big building project on the go is dirty business, and usually pretty stressful. But, we’ve laughed, chatted over coffee’s, talked gaming, had pizza (Little Button tried to feed Luke pancakes!), and the guys even built a snowman when it snowed. We’ve said it every day to ourselves, how lucky we have been to have them, our very own A-Team. Thank you SO much Charlie, Luke and Jake!
I’ve got a whole heap of posts (coming soon) on our loft. Which might be of extra interest if you are going to be building yourself, or looking at reviews of Sunlight lofts.
Poor old Alfie has been pretty poorly these last few weeks. After an operation to fix-him-back-up, and a few worrying (*absolutely blooming horrendous) nights of listening to him crying himself to sleep #sadface – he’s now made pretty much a full recovery. Phew! He’s got his kangaroo spring back, and has been chasing squirrels out of the garden, as well as playing a weird ‘stare out’ competition with the chameleon’s on Love Island.
Our lovely friend and fellow author, Heather from Shank you very much, did the most amazing thing and showered us with sweet treats (and a gorgeous jumper for Alfie) all the way from the USA. Thank you so much Heather! We’ve been having a blast trying out all the different boxes and pouches. We’ve not got through them all yet, but the special edition M&M’s and Nerd clusters are SO so so good!!! #sugarRUSH
I’m so excited to have an up coming author event. Dates (February) to be confirmed, but I’ll be there ready to sign book copies and read Me, in the Middle. *I’ll be the shy one, hiding behind my book – so please do come say hi 🙂 *It’s top secret at the moment, but as soon as I have the wink, I’ll share all the details.

Happy book birthday WILD!
I’im so glad Alfie is feeling well again! We are getting a Yorkie in March. If you have any advice I’d love to hear it. Also that was so sweet of Heather to send those goodies, I love a Junior mint!
your dog is really cute, Annette #dreamteam
That is great that your loft conversion is nearly finished. It sounds like the builders have been fantastic.
I am glad Alfie is feeling better and all the American treats look so good. We love those Sour Patch Kids here. x
You’ve got to love a positive post. I love this, so much to look forward to, January can often be such a tough month!
Awww glad Alfie is almost back to his normal self.
Sounds like you’ve got some busy periods coming up!!
My son is currently doing a loft conversion for one of his customers. I nearly had a heart attack when he told me he was on the roof the other day when it was very icy and cold. I bet you can not wait forr it to be finished.
It is great that Alfie is feeling better already, he looks happy…Great start of the year….
So glad Alfie is back at it. It’s always hard when someone in our family is not feeling very well.
What a great month you have. These are indeed fabulous things. Im so glad Alfie got his kangaroo spring back!
I am glad your dog is feeling better & that building your loft is going well!
I am so glad to hear that Alfie is feeling better. That’s good news. And your little Yorkie is absolutely adorable.
That is a great way to start of the year. Alfie sure looks awesome, cute and happy.
Sounds like you have had a productive week with Alfie getting better and your loft conversion nearing completion
I’m so glad to hear your dog is doing better. I know what it’s like to have a dog who is being treated and that worry that comes with that. I went nuts the week that Muffin was in the hospital without me.
I’m so glad you found the perfect partnership for your addition.
Congrats on the book signing event. I’m sure you’re excited and a bit nervous.
I just now realized you’re not from the US, like I am. That’s an interesting bundle of candies. I live here and still haven’t tried some of those.
