This week my Word of the Week is: Patience!! #WotW

This week my Word of the Week is: 

Patience

Happy Saturday! I hope you are all having a good weekend so far. I am here today with my Word of the Week. I’ve got plenty I could say at the moment but I’m keeping some things to myself because the blog isn’t the place for it right now. That’s where the patience comes in already. The gist of it is that Becky my eldest, is making exciting plans and that's all I will say about that, for now. I feel like I am being so good and keeping quiet until the time is right.

We have had a good week overall. Right at the start of the week, some loose ends were finally tied up. Things were completed, emails answered, boxes ticked. All those bits that seem to take forever when they’re not in your control. It was boring financial stuff which all tied into the admin I was doing at the start of March. That is how long it has taken and it has been hanging over me. It has really tested my patience. I don’t mind doing the jobs, it’s the waiting around for other people that gets to me. Finally, someone did what they were supposed to do and came back to say everything is sorted and all is good. Phew!

For the last couple of months I have been hearing about a book that everyone is raving about: This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page. I found it on the BorrowBox app (where I get most of my audiobooks from) and I’m sure I must have missed it before because it had a different cover. I saw it was reserved until August but I still reserved it for myself anyway. I’ve been keeping an eye on and the date has been creeping closer and closer. Now it’s saying it should be available next month!! Either people are flying through it because it’s that good or they’re giving up halfway through. I’m choosing to believe it is because it’s amazing and no one can stop listening. I’ll soon find out but more patience is required until I get to hear it.

It has felt like a strange week having Ellie home from college, she is still on her Easter break. We haven't really done much apart from talk about movies, potter around the house and just taking the days as they come. We did have a bit of drama with Ellie's hair dye, not actually dyeing her hair, just getting hold of the dye in the first place. She was out with Stu and couldn’t find her usual brand anywhere, which meant going back out again during the week to the shop she normally gets it from. She said she spent a good 10 minutes in there looking for it before a shop assistant asked if she needed help. She said yes and it was found straight away. I don’t know whether to laugh or roll my eyes. I will keep saying it, I am sure that girl walks around with her eyes closed. lol.

I am sat here now being very patient, waiting for a weekend of watching wrestling. We have last nights to watch tonight, tonight's to watch tomorrow and then Becky and I are staying up until the early hours watching night two live!

How has your week been? I hope you have had a good one! I am of course linking up with Anne who blogs at Raisie Bay to join in with her Word of the Week linky!
