Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘Rising’ and you can read more about that below.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week and I will add posts to Mix Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in.

MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Rising
Last week my word of the week was falling, but this week things are rising. Some good, some not so good. One thing I have noticed is that the sun is rising earlier!
The Little Man is well on the way to making his 100% attendance for this half term which is making his spirits rise. He is working so hard at school and makes me so proud, it really isn’t easy for him but he rises to every challenge.
Boo’s attendance is rising slowly, she’s still not making it in every single day but any improvement needs to be celebrated.
Not forgetting Star, she has been a lot happier lately with her spirits rising and relationships improving.
Now for the not so good things. Today I had news that my Gas and Electricity bill was rising by nearly double the amount. I’m working out ways of making it cheaper, otherwise we will be choosing between electricity or food. I hope I can sort something out.
My anxiety is rising with the amount of things I have to do next month. Usually just leaving the house for my hospital treatments double the time I’m out of the house, but on top of that I have a further visit to my consultant, a trip for a blood test, a couple of days out and a party. I won’t be saying I’m sick of these four walls next month. I’m not sure if I’m happy about that even though I keep saying I should get out more. Fingers crossed for rising temperatures and warmer weather!
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Things are rising eh? Good choice of word for what’s been happening. Nice that the young ones are doing better and that you have some days out to look forward to. Don’t really know what to do about the bills except to try to conserve more. I heard something about adjusting something on your boiler if it’s a combi boiler, but maybe I wasn’t listening closely enough. Plant some potatoes and a herb garden, I say, lol. Have a great weekend.
That’s great news about the kids. It sounds like they are all doing well.
We got our gas & electricity bill at the start of the week, we pay it quarterly and it was about £100 more than usually. I had budgeted for it this time but much higher and we’re going to be struggling.
Ahh! Try and think of the positives next month. You are getting out, hopefully the weather might be nicer and I hope your appointment with the consultant brings you good news x
I’m so proud of all of your children! Little Man being well on his way to 100% attendance this term is great, but Boo also does a great job. I’m also so glad Star is feeling happier. I completely feel you about the gas and electricity bills. We thankfully contracted on a set price just before they were no longer offering set prices at all. I understand those who don’t have this option, are really unfortunate. We are lucky that we can still afford rising prices without having to choose between food and electricity. I completley understand all this causes your anxiety to rise.
Well done to all your kids it’s nice to see them doing so well. Electric and gas prices are ridiculous. I’m hoping for nice weather so I can dry the washing outside and not need the heating on as much!
I’ve noticed the sun rising earlier too and it’s nice that the days are getting longer again. Well done to Little Man and Boo on their attendance and so glad that Star has been happier lately too. The gas and electricity bills rising are definitely not so good – we’ve turned our heating off and are hoping we can avoid having to turn it on again before autumn! Good luck with trying to find cheaper options. Sorry to hear that your anxiety has been rising lately with all the things you have to do next month. Hope it all ends up being more manageable than anticipated. #WotW
