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 ‘Return’ 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

MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Return
This week, as for many, it’s the return to school. The Little Man didn’t have to go back until Wednesday but he was so excited. He really is happy with his new school. I wish he would go to sleep earlier though!
On Tuesday Graham and the girls made a return trip to Ikea. I backed out of this one, it’s a bit far and the place is huge. One of my girls brought back some of their famous Swedish meatballs that you cook at home. We had them for dinner but not with gravy, my daughter made her own sauce. They were very tasty.
Boo has not been so lucky. After waiting and waiting for the promised text from college with her start date I contacted them and they said she should have started on Monday! She’s not the only one that didn’t get the text though, a lot of students failed to make the return to college too which alerted them to the fact that something had gone wrong with the texts. So, now she starts next Monday.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
I love IKEA meatballs – we make our own version sometimes. That’s annoying that Boo didn’t get the text about starting college on Monday but at least she wasn’t the only one. Good luck to her starting next week x
They are definitely tasty meatballs, we usually have turkey ones but they are more expensive, even making them ourselves. Boo had a tricky start at college but I think she will be okay now, fingers crossed. x
It has been the return to college for my youngest too! Ahh! That is lovely to hear that your Little Man is so excited for school.
I hope Boo has a good return to college. The same thing happened at my girls college, a lot of kids weren’t sent the text with their return date and missed their first day. Eek! x
First day for Boo didn’t go well, but it’s sorted now (hopefully) she’s gone back anyway. x
I have never had Ikea meatballs.. in fact I have never been to Ikea!!!! I must be the only person in the world who hasn’t LOL!!!! That’s annoying about the text message but at least it’s sorted now and she’s not on her own.
I went to Ikea for the first time this year, I opted out of the second visit. Our nearest one is an hours drive away!
What a palaver for the start of term! I’m glad it’s sorted for Boo now and I hope she is enjoying her first day. How good that Little Man is so happy at his new school. I’ve not had the Ikea meatballs for a while. I used to love the lingonberry jam they serve with it. Hope you had a good weekend.
I don’t think I’ve ever tried lingonberry jam. Boo’s first day didn’t go to plan but she’s okay now (fingers crossed) Little Man is thriving at his new school.
I hope all the “returns” continue to go smoothly. We get the IKEA meatballs here too. It’s known to be an inexpensive way to eat out. I don’t eat meat, so have never tried them! #MMBC
They are pretty good value here too, problem is, our nearest Ikea is over an hour’s drive away. So, I’ve only actually been once.
