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

This week my Word of the Week is:

I hope you have all had a great week. I've had a good one but I feel like I don't have much to write about as not much has been happening here but I am sure once I start writing a post will come together.

The biggest news from this week is that England are out of the World Cup. Hmmf. I am gutted that they lost against Argentina. It seemed as soon as they went a goal up they panicked and played too defensively. Instead of continuing to play and making Argentina worry about them, England started focusing more and more on stopping Argentina scoring, which did not work. Oh well, we have one more match today against France to see who comes in 3rd place, which seems like the most pointless match ever. I'll still watch it though because it's football and I can't help myself.

This week we found out that Ellie could have another year at college if she wanted. She gets another year funded because she doesn't turn 19 until the end of August and the cut-off date is the 31st. It was quite a surprise because we'd just assumed that it was done with. She would love to do another year because lots of her friends will still be at college but that's the only reason. She's now reached the point where she feels like she's closed that chapter of her life and is ready to move on to whatever comes next. She has an interview next week for a little something, so we're keeping everything crossed that it goes well.

On Monday we went into town for a little mooch around the shops. We didn't really need anything so there was a lot of window shopping. We ended up stopping for lunch at the all-you-can-eat place because it's only £9 something at lunchtime on a Monday, which is such a bargain. I didn't eat another proper meal all day and just had a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits later in the evening. I definitely got my money's worth.

I've just started watching Elle on Prime. It's a prequel to Legally Blonde and I'm really enjoying it so far. Now that the football has finished, I can get back to my watch list and I have so much on it since I haven't watched anything apart from football for the last month. I want to watch Little House on the Prairie, I Will Find You, The Five Star Weekend, Ride or Die, Off Campus and Dutton Ranch. I don't know when I'll fit them all in.

A hosepipe ban came in at the start of the week and watering the garden has become a bit of a chore. Filling watering cans over and over again isn't nearly as easy as standing there with the hose. The plants are definitely worth the effort though. I remember at the start of the year when it seemed to rain every single day for weeks. I complained constantly about it. Well, I take it all back now. A little bit of rain would actually be quite welcome.

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!
