Top Of The Hocks!- Thursday 7th May 2015








Hey Everyone, Welcome to this weeks Top Of The Hocks! This weeks Top Of The Hocks is a day early this week, this is because we have a special one off blog post coming tomorrow, so do keep your eyes peeled! So until then, lets get on with this weeks Top Of The Hocks!..

1) Website Of The Week

This week we have decided to go for the Alzheimer's society website. As you all know, Anna's Grandfather Geoff sadly passed away on Sunday 26th April after a very long battle with Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's Disease is an absolutely harrowing disease and is unfortunately much too common. There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK alone and the proportion of people with dementia doubles ever 5 year age group. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia. 60,000 deaths a year are down to dementia and sadly only 44% of people with dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland actually get a diagnosis. This is due to the fact that although dementia is unfortunately extremely common, not enough people know all the facts about the disease. The +Alzheimers Society  website will tell you everything you need to know about dementia, including how to care for someone who has dementia. You can also make a donation to the Alzheimer's Society charity on the website too. Please do click on the link and take a look at the website, it is so very important that everyone knows the facts about dementia as you never know when it could happen to yourself or someone you love.

"Why do golfers wear two pairs of trousers?"
"In case they get a hole in one!"

4) Song Of The Week

After the news that Errol Brown from the legendary band Hot Chocolate has sadly passed away, we thought what better way to honour him than having their brilliantly catchy "You Sexy Thing" as this weeks song of the week!

6) Video Of The Week

This week, for us, it just has to be this clip of Prince William and Prince George arriving at the hospital to go and see George's brand new baby sister. Everything about it is adorable, the wave, the matching outfits, THOSE SOCKS! AHHHHH! He would make anybody broody!


7) Picture Of The Week

Following on from this weeks Video Of The Week, This weeks Picture Of The Week just has to be our brand new little Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana who was born on Saturday weighing 8lbs 3oz. She is just perfect, those little cheeks!

8) Movie Of The Week

This weeks Movie Of The Week is going to be a film that Allan and Allan love to watch together, The Holiday. The Holiday is all about two heartbroken women Iris (Kate Winslet) and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) who decide they need to get away over Christmas so advertise their houses on a  home swap holiday website. Iris travels to Amanda's luxury home in LA and Amanda travels to Iris's tiny but picturesque cottage in Surrey where they stay for the Christmas Holidays. Of course, whilst they are on their holidays they both meet men, Graham (Jude Law) and Miles (Jack Black), fall in love and live happily ever after. It is a pretty predictable storyline, however, it is totally heart-warming, funny and well acted. It really is one of those films that makes you feel all warm inside.

9) Shop Of The Week

This week we are going to go for one of everyone's favourites, Primark! Ok, we know Primark isn't exactly Harrods but hey, what average person can afford to buy all their clothes in Harrods! Primark does nice clothes at super reasonable prices, what more could you want?! Their childrens clothes are particularly nice and you can get some absolute bargains!

10) Family Restaurant of The Week

This week we have decided to go for Chiquito. The Hocks have visited Chiquito a few times and have always enjoyed it. It is a Mexican themed restaurant chain which does all the yummy classic Mexican dishes such as Fajitas, Enchiladas and Chimichangas at very reasonable prices. Chiquito's have a very reasonable priced childrens menu where they can choose from either Mexican classics or your typical childrens meals such as fish goujons and chips for the less adventurous. You can check out their full menu by visiting their website.
