Posted on November 9, 2017 by thepogblog

Back in August I told you about a film we created at work (#thisisme) where I talked about my hair pulling from a few years back.  Happily there wasn’t much of me in the final cut (I’m still weirded out … Continue reading →

You meant ‘expressive’, right?

Posted on August 22, 2017 by thepogblog

I did a brave thing last week.  I don’t mean having Little Pea for a weekend, or spending the day with him, Himself and Himself’s boys.  I don’t even mean taking them all for a picnic / scavenger hunt when … Continue reading →

Posted on December 31, 2013 by thepogblog

Nine and a bit months!

Posted on October 8, 2013 by thepogblog

This post is now eight days late.  I meant to write it last week, but if you read Friday’s post, you’ll know that the world has been conspiring against me.  It’s still conspiring, but I am ignoring it.  For the … Continue reading →

Last Friday I took half a day’s leave.  I spent it sitting in my parent’s cellar with my Mum.  I was sewing a dress and Mum was helping me (there were pleats, darts and bias binding involved.  There was no … Continue reading →

A 6 month (ish) celebration!

Posted on June 28, 2013 by thepogblog

I can’t work out where the half year mark is.  Is it midsummers day?  Or the last day in June?  Or the first day in July?  Whatever the answer, we’re kind of there, which means….  <drum roll please> …I have … Continue reading →

Just daftness (I couldn’t think of a title, sorry)

Posted on June 17, 2013 by thepogblog

Last week was a daft week.  I think the best way to summarise it is to tell you that on Tuesday I went to yoga and got confused.  Really confused.  I spent most of the hour and 15 minutes trying … Continue reading →

Bradley goes into retirement

Posted on April 18, 2013 by thepogblog

I have a bit of a ‘thing’ around the number three.  Some might call it Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  They might be right.  I have to ‘check’ things three times.  The windows, the front door, the car doors (the door handles … Continue reading →
