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 ‘progress’ and you can read more about that below.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU WISH TO LINK UP! FROM NOW ON, THOSE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES WILL BE DELETED.
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. 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

MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Progress
This week I have chosen progress as a step towards more positivity.
I’ve been making progress in my driving, not only driving more often but trying out different routes and roundabouts and even driving in traffic. Each time I feel a little more confident.
The Little Man has made great progress at school. We had a meeting this week and they are really happy with how he is settling in and looking to increase his hours. He will miss the early morning and afternoon rush for a little longer. He’s been offered help from an outside source which he boldly claims he doesn’t need, but these days you don’t turn down offers of help. We have seen everything go pear shaped three times now, this place could help make sure this doesn’t happen again. He’s also chosen his options for his GCSEs. I think he will do well, despite his autism he is really bright. He hasn’t been to school for two years but he’s not behind his peers. (I don’t know whether I can take the credit for that, Home Schooling didn’t go so well.)
I even made progress with Boo and her college applications for next September. We couldn’t find what we were looking for, so I contacted the college that Star used to go to and explained Boo’s situation. They e-mailed back with a link to the perfect course. It’s a level 1 UAL course in Creative Arts. It’s the lowest level but at least we know she will be able to keep up with the work, and I know that Star had plenty of help when she went there. Fingers crossed she gets a place.
What I haven’t made progress with is my online shop. I was going to close it after only taking a few orders but then I got tempted into buying more stock and added some new things. Sadly, I’ve still only taken a couple of sales. I’m thinking maybe I should have just given up, but now I have a whole pile of boxes of things just looking for new homes. Maybe I should take a course in online selling? Now, that’s an idea!
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Fantastic choice of word as it sounds like you and your family made good progress this week. So happy for you. Your son does sound bright and I hope he continues to do well. Hopefully, your daughter gets on the right course for her and gets the support she needs. We have the same problem with selling stuff too. Always get excited and spend money on stock but we are not good at marketing at all. I think that you could list things on places too, especially if you have boxes of the products. We do and really need to take some of our own advice.
My word for this year is Renew. Badly needed, I might add. But I love Progress too. It mysteriously covers a lot of things without having to give an explanation…..
Progress is always a good word. So pleased that Little Man is doing well. Must be good to know that he is not behind his peers. I’m sure your home schooling had a hand in that, even if it didn’t feel like it at the time. Boo’s course for September sounds very interesting. I hope she is looking forward to it. Well done on the driving front. That does sound like a lot of progress. The world will be your oyster soon enough. No advice on your on-line shop. Selling is not my forte, but good luck in finding a new avenue. Could you sell them as mystery packages?
Progress is a great word!
It sounds like you are doing really well with your driving and well done to your Little Man. I am so glad he is settled in so well. How is it even possible that he’s at an age to pick his GCSE’s! Time flies.
Good luck to Boo with college. It sounds like the course and support will be great for her. x
Great word Anne. Sounds like you did make progress. I do crafts and participate in vendor fairs, but I know nothing about selling online.

So happy that your little man is all settled and good luck to Boo too!
Also, well done on the driving front, you should be proud of yourself. I knew you would get there. xx
Progress is such a great word. I’m so glad you’re making progress with your driving and becoming more confident. That’s great that things are going better for Little Man at school and that he’s being offered help. He’s done well to not fall behind his peers too. Good luck to Boo with getting a space on the course at college. Hope things pick up with your online shop. #WotW
Well done with the children’s progress with their education and to you for remaining so positive. Thanks for linking with #pocolo
