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:
Because I have been!
Over the weekend, Boo had a birthday party to attend so we were both very sociable there. We then met up with friends in the park on Sunday, as well as visiting family. Monday saw Little Man and I on a soft play date, before catching up with my mum. Tuesday I was hermit-like as I wrote my first university assignment of this module, but I did also take the time to book in a couple of get-togethers with friends (as well as applying for Little Man’s school place, how is this happening?!). On Wednesday I dropped my boy at my mum’s so that I could go and visit my bed-ridden mate Emma (you may know her as BrummyMummyof2) and relieve her boredom for a few hours. Then last night I was out with friends having a good old chat. I love weeks like this, but that said, I am quite looking forward to the solitude that today will bring whilst the kids are at school and nursery!
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.
Sounds a busy week, and having some down time afterwards is always good. Hope Emma’s ok – thanks for hosting x
It has been, though our weekend looks a bit calmer! Thanks x
Sorry I haven’t joined in for a while but my post should explain why!
Lovely socialable times for you all but enjoy your “you” time too.
It does, poor you! Thanks x
You’ve certainly been sociable! 🙂 I can’t believe either that your little man will start school soon. It’s happening way too fast isn’t it? That’s what I feel every time I look at T 🙁 #wotw
I know, time is flying by!
It’s great when you are in the mood to be sociable but it’s nice to enjoy your own company too and it sounds like you got the balance exactly right this week. I love a good old catch up with my friends it’s great to talk about something other than the latest episode of Twirly Woos ! #WotW
It has worked out well this week, and yes, nice to step away from kids TV chats!
I think I’ve been very unsociable this week, just the opposite. I think your week is better.
It definitely perks you up, I think. A lazy one’s good, too, though 😉
Aww I love a good sociable week! I have been the same this week and you feel good and its nice for the little ones too – keeps everyone busy! Hope Emma gets well soon and thanks for hosting xx
Yes, it’s fun and time flies. Thanks x
Catching up with friends is lovely and cathartic – sometimes there’s nothing better than a good old chatter about life!! Sounds like you’ve been quite the busy social butterfly and you still managed to get some Uni work in. Not sure how you do it all & blog?!
As for applying for school places, yes time goes by too quickly!
I hope you have a lovely week and enjoy the weekend
xx

It all fits in there somehow, week in week out! Thank you x
Wow that does sound like a sociable weekend and week. You can’t beat a day or evening with friends just chatting x
It is lovely to have a catch up x
Busy busy busy, nice to have sociable periods though. Perks me up I find! Impressed at th uni work – I teach a foundation degree at a local college/uni and I have no idea how people manage to get their assignments done!
You just find the time! Thanks x
A very sociable week! sounds lovely
It’s been good, thanks 🙂
Oh wow! You have been very social. It sounds like a lot of fun!
I hope you had a good day today x
I have been! Yes, thanks very much x
wow, you crammed a lot in but sounds like you enjoyed which is the main thing. I hope you enjoy some solitude time, it’s always about the balance isn’t it X #wotw
I did, thanks. Yes, it’s definitely about the balance x
Ha ha I am exactly the same, I thrive off being busy but then crave chilling out, I am never happy a good balance would be one quiet day one busy in rotation, but that is never going to happen ha ha x
Yes, that would be perfect! x
It’s good to be sociable but like you say, also good to gather your thoughts too! Thanks for hosting #wotw
It is!
Sociable is such a lovely word of the week – glad you’ve enjoyed catching up with friends and family, going to soft play and birthday parties and generally having a lovely week. Hope this week has been just as nice. Thanks for hosting #WotW and so sorry for taking so long to catch up on posts this week!
It was good, nice to catch up with people x
