Thanks so much for continuing to link up and read! Lovely to see so many regulars back last week, along with a few new faces, too – everyone’s welcome and you can find out more about it here.
So onto my week then, and it has been..
Truth be told, this has been the case for a little over a week, but it wasn’t something I could share last week. The Husband found out towards the end of last week that he was being made redundant from the job he’d had since leaving college. Cue much stress, anxiety and panic. Fortunately, he has got another job, and we really hope it will be good. But it’s a huge change for him, and unlike me, he’s really not a fan of change (same job since leaving college remember). So it’s been unsettling for us. Change often is, I think, and this one feels huge. And it’s been worrying and scary. I do know that even though everything feels odd right now and it’s difficult for the Husband, we will be OK. We are all healthy and we are all together, so unsettling though it may be, I am confident that we will find our way back to calm and normality soon.
What about you? What one word sums up your week best? Grab the badge, link up and share, and take a peek at the others…
Linky opens at 6.30am Friday, to midnight on Sunday

Oh hon that must have been a huge shock, no wonder you’ve been unsettled! Wishing hubby lots of good luck for interviews vibes xx
Yes, a very anxious time. We’re managing, as he has a new job, but all change!
Not a nice feeling. We’ve been through that limbo time and wouldn’t want to o back. So glad it’s all sorting itself out 🙂
Thank you x
Wow, bless him! That must have been very stressful! I’m very glad to hear he’s got another job so quickly but can imagine he is nervous and feeling very unsettled! Change can be really hard! But it can also be good, so I hope all works out well for him, and all of you! Xx
So stressful, and so hard. But I think we’ll get there, thanks x
What a worry that must have been. I’m so glad to hear that he found another job so quickly. Remember it’s OK for you both to feel a little nervous. This is a big change and it’s normal to feel unsettled. I hope your husband settles into his new role with ease and that this turns out to be the best thing that could have happened for you all x
I hope so, too, thank you xx
Oops forgot to say I love your new blog design! x
Wow what a shock for you both! I’m so pleased to hear that your hubby has found a new job so quickly though =] i hope it all goes okay for him. Good luck xx
I’m glad that the first few days have been OK and it will probably take a while for things to feel more settled because it’s a big change. How did the car hunting go?!
Thank you. Not bad, we’ll go out and take a look tomorrow when we’re child-free (because it’s our wedding anniversary – so much fun car-shopping in celebration…!)
Good luck with your husband’s new job! Hopefully it’ll all work out for the best.
Thanks for this linky too.. Am putting my thinking cap on and hopefully joining in! 🙂
Thanks very much. And you’re welcome – look forward to reading x
Oh no, sorry to hear about yours husbands redundancy, but it’s fantastic that he’s found another job so quickly. Change can be fear of the unknown, but I believe, often it can work out best in the end. Good luck, I hope he likes his new job. x
I think you’re right, but then I like change. Hoping it’ll all work out for the best, and thank you x
I can imagine how you must be feeling. I too feel very unsettled with change. And yours is a pretty big one. On the other hand, it is all for the best, and some good will come out of it xx
Yes, I think you’re right. Thank you x
Thanks for the great linky, I love the idea! Will definitely be linking up again next week 🙂
Lovely! And you’re very welcome 🙂
Oh I hope you are all ok and things sort themselves out. I am craving normality too this week x
Thank you. Hope we both find it soon then x
Sorry to hear this, nothing worse than feeling unsettled. But I wish your OH all the luck in his new job and I hope you all start feeling some normality soon x #WotW
Thanks very much x
Hope things will be better!
*hugs*
Thank you xx
How very stressful for you both!
Good luck to your husband in his new job x
Thanks very much x
all the best for his new job – hope it turns out to be a really positive amazing change (i hate change too) x
Thank you very much. Hoping so 🙂 x
So sorry to hear your bad news, but really hoping the new job proves to be onwards and upwards for you all.x
Thank you, hoping so x
Sometimes changes are for the best even though they may seem pretty scary at the time x
Yes, I tend to think so. Thank you x
Oh no! I was made redundant and it’s such a horrible feeling. Glad everything is sorting itself out xxx
Thank you xx
My firs Word of the Week, really enjoyed it, thank you xx
Thanks, lovely to have you 🙂
So sorry you’ve had such an unsettled week, but I’m so glad that your husband has found another job so quickly. I hope it turns out to be a fantastic move for him.
Thank you. We hope so, and it could do, so we will see what happens x
That must have been so stressful. So glad to hear he has another job. Love to you all x
Yes, not an easy week! Could’ve been worse, though, as at least he does have another job. Thanks very much x
Change is unsettling but can be exciting too…good luck to himself in the new job 🙂 x
Thanks very much 🙂
Finally here, joining in the FUN at #wordoftheweek
…WOW! Your husband must be competent and employable… Totally awesome he’s got a new job! I hope it turns into the best job he’s had since college 🙂
Hooray! Thanks for linking. And thank you, hoping it all works out x
Oh no, but well done at the same time! Hope it becomes your new and even better ‘normal’ soon.
Thank you. I’m sure it will with time x
That’s positive that he’s found another job so quickly but yes, an unsettling time for you all.
Hope the transition period passes smoothly for you all 🙂
Yes, we know it could have been so much worse, and for that we are thankful. Still unsettling, but hoping that’ll pass soon, thank you x
Change can be hard, but it always works out for the best in the long run. Best of luck to your husband with his new job x
Thank you very much x
Sounds like a stressful period, but hopefully it won’t take him long to get settled and back into things. But change can be great – empowering, motivating, inspiring. It’s all about the attitude! Although, I love change and get bored very easily, so I would say that!! Hope things are ok for you all xx
Thank you. It has been hard, and like you, I like change, so hoping it’ll settle soon x
Jocelyn, I am so sorry for your husband. Not easy changing jobs when you have not chosen to do so… Good luck to him when he starts the new job. I have just linked to “Word of the Week” for the first time today (not the last time I am sure!). I wrote a post about Jumpy’s allergies and it was one I had been brooding over for months and months… It took so much of my energy just proof-reading it this morning (and not sleeping at the prospect of posting today) that I will switch off for a few hours. I will be commenting on what other bloggers have linked this afternoon. x Mel
Thank you very much. And thanks for sharing your post with #WotW- I can see why it was so difficult for you x
Gosh that’s scary, glad he found another job so quickly though. Hope things settle down a bit more for you this week x
Thank you, hoping so x
Hi! It’s my first time here at #wotw. I hope I’ve got the jist of it! Sounds like you’ve got some settling to do,I hope the new job goes well ZX
Thank you, and thanks for joining in! Lovely to have you.
Oh no, it’s horrible when something like that happens especially if your husband doesn’t like change. It could end up being a really great thing but I understand how you feel unsettled by it all xx

Being made redundant must be so horrible – however to have a new job to move on to is great and who knows what other new and exciting changes this will bring. Good luck Hubby!
It’s been hard, but yes, he’s lucky to have another job, so he’s settling in there now. Thanks x
