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 ‘Start’ 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 – Start
Can you believe we are half way through the year 2023 already! Today marks the start of our six weeks of 4 birthdays! My eldest daughter was born in the middle of the year while my eldest son was born right at the beginning of the year…I had six months between birthdays for 16 years. Then I had 3 more kids, one born July, 2 born in August.
This week was the start of The Little Man’s return to school. It hasn’t been plain sailing, we had some real problems from day one, but it did get better as the week went on. Fingers crossed he gets the new start he deserves.
Yesterday Boo had a taste of the college she will be starting in September. She was so excited and I love that she’s looking forward to this new chapter of her life. The college is literally less than five minutes walk from our home. The other college option is in the City Centre. It’s a bigger college but Boo felt that travelling would be her biggest issue. It’s a long busy bus ride and short walk. It’s worse if you go by car as the City Centre has so many diversions and one way systems. Not only that, her Dad would have trouble taking her because of having to take her sister to work and brother to school. If she gets on with her A levels at this college she may consider going to the other college to further her education later on.
We have just three weeks until we start the summer holidays, and four weeks until our short break at the sea side. And in two weeks Star may be able to do without her catheter if her trial goes well. We have exciting times ahead.

This year is going way too fast!
I am glad things have got better for your Little Man at school. I hope things continue to improve.
That is great that Boo is so excited for college and it being close to home is a big bonus.
Good luck to Star for going without her catheter. x
Sounds like there are lots of fun things to look forward to! That’s a lot of birthdays to celebrate in a short space of time but I’m sure you’ll all have a lovely time. Hope your little Man has better days at school and settles in well. It’s great that Boo is looking forward to college and that’s wonderful news about Star.
Sorry to hear that Little Man’s return to school didn’t start well but glad it improved as the week went on and fingers crossed that continues to be the case for him. How lovely that Boo is so excited about starting college. Good luck to her with starting in September. Lots of things to hopefully look forward to as well in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed for Star’s catheter trial. #WotW
I hope your son’s schooling continues to get better. I would have chosen the local college too. We are going to have to consider the travelling for Ethan’s college options, I really want to avoid town is possible. That’s a lot of birthdays! We have a six-month break after our little lady’s this month. I like that. #WotW
This year is going to very fast. I am glad things have got better to your little man at school. I hope things continue to improve.
