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:
‘The process of shedding the old skin (in reptiles)’
Oh, OK, it’s clear I’m not a reptile, but I’m still using this word as I like it!
This week I feel like I am emerging from hibernation and preparing my body for the warmer weather. I am sloughing and shedding my old skin, figuratively, of course. I am getting back into my running, I’ve dug out some forgotten clothes and shoes for the brighter weather, booked myself a hair appointment for next week and my healthy eating plan kicked in a couple of days ago.
I’m also refreshing a few things here and there around the blog and social media. You may have spotted I’ve a new avi? I’ve also given my YouTube channel a spruce up and I’ve been having fun on Instagram. I’m toying with a new blog theme as I like to change the layout a bit each year, but I’ve not got quite enough time to play around with it at the moment. Maybe after my exam’s out the way I’ll try that.
Oh, and speaking of, I got my penultimate OU score back this week and it was the highest yet so I am happy and determined to do well on my final assignment due in soon and then I’ll be hitting the books for revision!
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.
Wow what a week…I’m now getting back to the gym Tomo…going to write ten blog posts and go summer shopping!! Well done you. Great to feel motivated and achieve when you worked so hard. X
Best of luck! x
Ecdysis is a brilliant word to describe the shedding off the winter layers and putting on Spring clothes instead. I had noticed the new pic on social media and really like it. Well done on your penultimate OU score and good luck with the final assignment – I have one due in this weekend, it’s all written up but just need to look through it once more with fresh eyes before I submit. Thanks for hosting #WotW and hope you have a good weekend.
I love it! Oh, best of luck with your assignment then x
OMG I love your word! Perfect for me I had a professional declutterer in this week and have lost 2 stone since Christmas feel this word is exactly right ..can we share it!
Oh this has to be your word, yes! Well done you!
Great word! And well done on the OU – thanks for hosting #wotw
Thanks very much!
What a great word and feel to the week. Well done on your assignment. It is so nice to start feeling brighter and fresher after the cold winter months. x
It is, I do love the sunshine! x
That’s a great word for this time of you – Ecdysis – I may use it myself. It has felt like there’s been a sea-change in the weather and generally feeling more spring like and less winter, I agree. And it’s so much easier to enjoy a healthy eating plan in the summer months I find, winter is for stoggy puddings and treats!
Well done with your OU assignment, I’m in awe as to how you fit it all in. Super organised!
And I do like you new photo, I think it’s good to spruce things up every now and again – that’s a job I can’t wait to tackle but it won’t be until mid May!
Have a lovely week xx
It certainly is easir to eat better in the spring and summer, I find. That said, I could just go a good old pud now! Thank you, I do like a spruce up! x
Thanks for teaching us a new word! 😉 Congratulations on your high score. I’ve also been wearing sandals and lighter clothing to do the school run. But I’m afraid as I type this, it’s a different story today. Grey clouds and light rain hover over our little village at the moment. But if the weather is correct, another lovely day tomorrow 🙂 #wotw
Oh yes, today’s colder here again, it’s so unpredictable! Thanks x

I think its most normal to be reborn in spring! A nice and promising word to choose =)
It is, thank you!
Hi Jocelyn, I am new to your linky love your word. I always feel the need around this time of year to get a good body scrub and a hand mitt and literally shed a few layers ready for the sun.
Welcome! Yes, this is so true, I know that feeling!

What a good word, and a good place to be. I really hope I get the time to spruce my blog up with Little E now starting nursery. I feel it has been a bit neglected lately but then she does like keeping me on my toes #WotW
