Hello and welcome to Word of the Week.
If you’re new here, Word of the Week is a nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. You reflect back on the past week and sum it up in one word. Then share your word with us in a blog post, with as little or as much explanation as you like. It’s a fun and friendly linky, so please do be lovely and visit as many of the other blogs as you can and share with them your thoughts on their words and weeks. I do comment on every entry to the linky, and if you add the Word of the Week badge to your post to help spread the ‘word’, I also tweet them out.
My word of the week this week is:
Yes, two words again – it’s like I’m sabotaging my own linky! They need to go together, though, I feel!
We’ve been considering getting guinea pigs since our beautiful hound passed away last month, and this week we decided to go for it. Much of this week has been about guinea pig research, choosing and ordering (and then waiting impatiently for!) the hutch, popping to the pet shop to buy some toys and essentials for them and calling around to find some babies from a place that I was happy to get them from. In the end we found a children’s farm not too far away with lots of little females to choose from, as we’d decided we wanted girls, and the kids loved choosing their favourites. We picked them up on Wednesday afternoon, and we’ve been adoring them ever since.
So here they are, the newest Reading residents, Jessie and Leia (yep, Toy Story and Star Wars rule here!)
What about you? What one word sums up your week best? Please grab the badge, link up and share.
Linky opens at 6.30am Friday, to midnight on Sunday.
Thankyou so much for hosting, I may be a little delayed in commenting but I WILL share some linky love! Have a great week!
Aww I love a couple of guinea pigs. My cousin used to have them and I enjoyed snuggling up and having a cuddle whilst they squeaked! Enjoy xx #wotw
Wow guinea pigs. A pet I’ve never had but do think they are cute. We’re thinking of a pet rabbit for G. Just not quite sure yet. I hope your new little friends settle in x #wotw
Aww they’re really cute and I love the names! X
Love your new guinea pigs and good choice of names too. Hope you have a good weekend and thanks for hosting 🙂
They look super cute and yes you can’t have guinea without pigs 🙂 Thanks for hosting x
Aww, what cute little piggies! I’m sure they’ll be real little characters once they’ll settled in x
Oh how adorable! Makes me miss my beautiful guinea pigs, they’re such wonderful pets, I love the little squeaks they make when they hear food! And the cute jumps they do!
Awww they are cute! I love the names 😀
Aaw they are so cute Jocelyn! Hope they are settling in OK xx
So the guinea pigs won over the tortoises then! :).
Awesome choice of names.
Monkey wants a guinea pig, we will most likely give in as normal x
I mustn’t let my two see the picture of Leia and Jessie otherwise they’re going to insist we have some too. In fact we were talking this morning about getting a puppy sometime this year. Great choice of names!
Awww, they’re so gorgeous- and fantastic names. Hope they bring lots of family fun and happiness. x
Aww! They are so cute! I love their names…
Those are two cute piggies! I’m sure you’ll all get lots of pleasure out of looking after and loving them.
They’re so cute. Mr M and the kids would love guinea pigs. I hear they make wonderful pets x

Lovely to see the new piggies!
Hope you all have a fab weekend with them, ours are such funny little characters.
Thanks for hosting x
They are very cute! I had guinea pigs when I was growing up and loved them, sweet little animals x
How lovely you have two rather cute looking Guinea Pigs to play with! I like their names and they’re not far off what my little lot would choose, too!
I’m a bit late posting today but I’ll be commenting on all tomorrow (Saturday). It’s one of my favourite linkys so I’ll be spreading some linky love later xx
I think children’s farms are great places to buy pets. These guinea pigs look lovely and I bet everyone is excited that they are now with you.
Aww welcome to the newest members of your family! They look her cute, I look forward to lots of settling in pics 🙂
They are so cute, love the names too. I’m sure they will be lots of fun x
2 words again! Tut tut 😉 Can see why though…welcome to your cute new family members 🙂
I love them! Especially their names <3 we have one at the nursery called Butterscotch, who I just adore!!
They are far too cute for their own good, I love Guinea Pigs and they make such lovely pets. Hope they are settling in!

Awww they look so gorgeous! I really want to get Boo a pet but I think we will wait until she is a bit older – I am thinking of rabbits as I never had a rabbit when I was younger and I always wanted one!
Aw they are so cute! I love their names too 🙂 xxx
I have SO many questions to ask you as I really want a pair for my two? So I will be picking your brain when I see you soon! x
