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 ‘Sunshine’ 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 – Sunshine
It’s been a week with a fair bit of sunshine which has been nice. The downside is that it’s showing that my carpet needs updating, a simple clean isn’t enough anymore, it’s starting to fade. The upside is that it was nice enough to have our first BBQ of the year.
I haven’t put much washing out, I tried the other day but having left my pegs on the line they had deteriorated and mostly fell apart. I should know by now not to leave them out, I even have a peg bag (which was empty!) New pegs on the shopping list.
I haven’t really spent much time outside either. I did go out when we had the BBQ and was instantly bitten by every bug going. I don’t know why they like to feed on me so much, no-one else was bitten. It must be all those immunoglobulins that I have.
The sunshine has me in the mood for my holiday though. I had to pay the final amount this week, boo, but it means it’s not that long away now. We are just having a short break this year because we don’t have much money. I nearly didn’t bother booking but we enjoy getting away for a few days and the girls were keen despite being so much older. I was nearly kicking myself though when I paid that final amount. If I’d had realised, when I booked it last year, that The Little Man would still have been without a school, then I could have booked in term time. Boo will finish early because it’s her last year (and exams are half way through) so we could have easily gone a week or two earlier and saved a lot of money. (I could have probably afforded a full week instead of a short break!) Ah, hind sight!
Have you been enjoying the sunshine this week?

Yey to your first BBQ of the year! This weather really is calling for more, especially over the Bank Holiday, it is going to be glorious!
A fabulous word to pick for this week and very apt… as it seems the sun has finally arrived to stick around! Sim x #PoCoLo
This weather has been nice.
We’ve not had a BBQ yet but I thinking we might over the weekend. My fella always tells me off for leaving the pegs out on the line but I got some from Poundland and they seem to be lasting really well. I realised today that I have to book the train for us going away at the end of the summer next week. I am so excited.
Have a great weekend. x
That’s the perfect word for this week. I’ve been loving being out in the sun. Thanks for linking with #pocolo
That’s wonderful that the sun has been shining for you. Sunshine is the perfect mood lifter. Even though it’s cold over here, we have had lots of sunny days so far. It’s exciting that you are going away for a nice break soon. I hope the days go by slowly for you so the break feels longer. 😊
It has been lovely to have some sunshine. So nice to have the first BBQ of the year as well (although not so nice getting bitten by insects). Lovely to have your holiday to look forward to as well. I can imagine that was frustrating realising you could have gone earlier in the year though. Fingers crossed that we get some more sunshine this week (and that the insects leave you alone if you do get outside to enjoy it).
It’s great to have sunshine at last. It’s been so long coming! Our American friends did a Mexican BBQ at the weekend with tacos and tortillas to suff with meat, fish and salsa. We always BBQ the same thing so it was great to have a change 🙂

Sunshine would be a favorite word of mine if I did this challenge. I love bright days. I’m glad summer is coming to you to enjoy. #MMBC
The sun being out does make such a difference. I just don’t do heat very well. Darren is very prone to getting bitten. We can be in the same place and they just go for him. Such a shame about not knowing you could book a holiday in term time. I can’t wait until we can book holidays then. Who knows if the kids will want to go with us then though #WotW
