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 ‘Eighteen’ 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
Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Eighteen
I can barely believe it, my little girl is now eighteen! Star has not had the easiest of lives and there is still more to come but time really does fly. My eldest two were both teenagers when she was born…boy does that make ME feel old!
Star got up quite early for a change, she opened her presents and cards and was really happy. Then she rushed to get dressed and her boyfriend turned up with even more gifts…and now she was even happier. My brother and his wife turned up and bought more cards and presents, and she had a card with money from her grandma. (with a Terry Pratchett stamp, yay!)
In the evening we had Nando’s delivery and a little alcohol. And on Saturday we are all walking down to the local Wetherspoons for a meal out.
In other news, Boo refused to go and get her exam results because she never wants to go back to that school again. It caused me a little stress at first, but I knew they would be posted. Then we found out she could get the results by e-mail. She needed four passes for her college course and she got five. She will have to do her maths again, but she doesn’t mind.
My kids are all growing up! But that’s it for birthday’s for now (thank goodness, I’m skint, lol!)
The linky keeps closing early for some reason so I’m trying some tweaks this week. If you can’t add your link please come back and try again, but fingers crossed this works.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Many happy returns to Star on her 18th birthday! Sounds like she had a lovely day. Well done to Boo on her exam results 🙂
Thank you Karen x
Happy birthday Star! Time really does fly and our kids are growing up far too quickly. It sounds like she had a wonderful day. Hooray for all of the gifts. Enjoy your meal out. My youngest has asked to go to Wetherspoons for her birthday meal too. lol
Aww! You can’t blame Boo for not wanting to go back to that school. Well done to her with her results. x
We didn’t make it to Wetherspoons but are hoping to try again later. Our girls are growing too quickly indeed, It seems like only yesterday we were posting about their antics as little children. Time does fly indeed. xx
This post made me both sad and happy for some reason. The birthday celebration sounds nice, and also the exam results. But the school has been so bad that she doesn’t want to ever go back? That’s sad. Glad she got into college though. And I hope she does well.
Thank you ladies, I was so stressed she wouldn’t go to the school, she wouldn’t even go with someone accompanying her. But that’s okay because she will be going to college and she doesn’t have to think about that school anymore. I just wish my boy didn’t have to go back there either, but he’s okay with it for now. Fingers crossed x
Aw, I’m glad Star had a lovely birthday. Our kiddies need to stop growing up so fast!
Well done to Boo on her results. I don’t blame her for not wanting to go back to school, at least she can move on now.
I know what you mean about being skint! I’ve had a few birthdays to buy for recently and Craig’s wiped me out haha! xx
Happy 18th birthday to Star. It sounds like she had a lovely birthday. Well done to Boo on her exam results. #WotW
Sounds like Star had a wonderful birthday! I loved watching the beautiful video. They grow too fast don’t they?
Happy 18th Star, what a great birthday to be celebrating. Thanks for linking with #pocolo
