Post Comment Love 10th-12th March 2023

Welcome back to #pocolo with Stephanie from Lifeat139a and I.

I've managed to catch up with everyones blog posts now I've got a new laptop.

I've spent a bit of time this week sorting through my summer wardrobe getting ready for our trip to Dubai over Easter.

I struggle with winter clothes I always feel so bulky with layers on, but my job in a school means every lesson change I'm walking outside from one block to another and often leave my coat behind. I'm on the hunt for a warm and fully waterproof coat, preferably a long one. I'm quite fussy as I want to buy once and wear for a long time.

The building work on the new extension is almost complete. Plasterers are in today. When it's finished we just need to paint and lay flooring.

Post Comment Love #PoCoLo is a friendly weekly linky where you can link up any blog post you've written this week and all we ask is that you leave a comment on either mine or Stephanie's post which you linked up through and at least one other post. We'd also love it if you could RT us on Twitter when we tag you to help us reach a wider audience.

I'll be catching up with reading your posts, sharing and commenting over the weekend.

What I wore - to the Theatre

Is there a dress code for the theatre? 

There doesn't seem to be a dress code guide these days other than smart/casual, black tie, dress down day.

This is what I usually wear to work ( or similar)

Boots - Lakeland Leather

Trousers - M&S

Blouse - M&S

Jacket - Quiz

I own 4-5 blouses from M&S and Primark, 4 jumpers from TK Max, 2 pairs of cords and several jackets that are suitable for work in the winter.

The rest of my wardrobe is more suited for spring, summer and autumn with dresses and heels, but mainly 3/4 length trousers, sandals and t-shirts. 

I own several dresses worn for weddings and I would wear them for brunch on Fridays in Dubai, but they all feel too formal for events in the UK, including the theatre. 

So what did I wear to the theatre? I swopped my trousers for a pair of jeans and changed my boots after work and put on my 'going out' coat.

Boots - Doc Martin

Jeans - Tom Tailor

Blouse - M&S

Coat  - Ted Baker

Bag - Coach

Cape - Irish Woollen Shop

Hat - M&S

Gloves - Lakeland Leather

I added some jewellery mainly Pandora and Kate Spade to my outfit, refreshed my make up and I was ready for my night at the Theatre.

What do you think? I felt comfortable and I guess that is the main thing.

Week 9 One Daily Positive and Project 365

My pain levels from nerve damage in my neck were heightened this week and my wrists were not only extremely painful but I struggled to hold a pen, type, lift a tea cup. I had the start of a migraine towards the weekend, so far I've managed to hold it back with meds.

57 Sunday Up early and dog walked to the retail park, Peter joined me for coffee then we did a food shop. Afternoon spent in my craft room making and writing birthday cards, evening in front of the TV.

58 Monday Back in work, a calm day. Home to cook a roast dinner, popped next door to borrow a monkey and evening spent on the bed watching TV.

59 Tuesday Quiet day in work, home to do some more sewing, popped round to the neighbours, then off to the Theatre with work to see 'Home, I'm Darling'.

60 Wednesday Into work late to make up for last night. Strike day, but years 11-13 were in school. I tidied the book shelf, did one to one tutoring and attended an Ethics class to take notes for my student who was off today. In the evening I volunteered at the local youth club and home to watch TV and blog. Last day of the builders for the week as they wait for the concrete floor to set.

61 Thursday Dressed as Pippi Longstocking for World Book Day. Peter brought Bob to me after work and I walked to the retail park for coffee, Peter joined us after a food shop and Bob stole the bananas out the shopping bag on the way home.

62 Friday Home from work at 3pm, we walked the dog and picked up fish and chips on the way home. Watched Tv and in bed asleep by 9.30am.

63 Saturday Woke at 9am, popped into Worcester for a ramble round the shops. I tried and failed with the over locker and gave up on it. Afternoon spent on laptop and evening in front of the TV. I took some photos for a blog post.

Post Comment Love - 3rd-5th March 2023

Welcome back to #pocolo with Stephanie from Lifeat139a and I.

Sorry for the delay with commenting on all your posts over the previous 2 weeks. My laptop died, then we travelled to Northern Ireland to visit our Grandson, then drove to Brighton for my aunts funeral. 

All back to normal now (fingers crossed) We're having an extension built and they are working fast. 

It was World Book Day on Thursday and the 6th form at the school I work at joined in with dressing up. Do you or your children join in with World Book Day?

Post Comment Love #PoCoLo is a friendly weekly linky where you can link up any blog post you've written this week and all we ask is that you leave a comment on either mine or Stephanie's post which you linked up through and at least one other post. We'd also love it if you could RT us on Twitter when we tag you to help us reach a wider audience.

What I wore for World Book Day

I work in a secondary school supporting a student in 6th form. The English department have encouraged us to join in and dress up as our favourite book character. 

Can you guess who mine is?

Denim skirt - Primark

Top - Splash

Shoes - Converse

Socks - Amazon

Monkey (borrowed from next doors 3 year old)

Wig - Amazon

Last time I was working in a school was infants in Dubai and I dressed as Mary Poppins.

Prior to that I've made numerous costumes for my kids when they were in primary school.

Do you join in with World Book Day or as a parent to you hate the hassle? cost?
