Word of the Week Fifteen – Hiatus

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 ‘hiatus’ 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. And please only add one post to the link up each week, multiple posts will be deleted. 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. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW

Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!

If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.

MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Hiatus

You may have noticed that I’ve not posted in a whole week! I guess I’ve had an hiatus which is a better word than break.

It’s only been an hiatus from Raisiebay though, everything else has been busy busy busy. I’ve been working on my new shop over on my other blog. I’ve also given At Home A Lot a bit of a makeover.

I’ve also been working on my appeal for the Little Man’s EHCP which was refused at the first stage. This is not uncommon. I like the reason they gave…’he seems to be doing very well in his mainstream school and we don’t see why he requires any further help.’ I guess they missed the part where I put he failed miserably in his mainstream school and I had to remove him. I’m prepared for a fight, boxing gloves at the ready!

I also had my driving licence returned to me this week, and we were already planning on viewing some cars. Now we can look at ones that I can have adapted to drive myself.

We had a nice Easter weekend but to be honest, it was just an extended weekend with chocolate, we didn’t do anything special. We didn’t even have a Sunday roast on Easter Sunday.

I’ve enjoyed the relaxed hiatus from the schooling, both getting Boo up and home educating the Little Man.

I also sorted out Star’s benefit claim. It was strange going to the Jobcentre, It’s been many years since I last did that. But because Star is not at college I get no income at all for her and she can’t exactly go to work right now, so we’ve sorted out a benefit claim for her. They allowed me to go in her place after the first attempt to get her there failed. Now I no longer have to pay for her prescriptions and dental treatment and if she does manage to go back to college after she’s 18, she won’t have to pay for her course. Plus she gets a little money each week. Fingers crossed she can get her health sorted, get back to college and start living the normal life of a teen.

Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
