Welcome to this weeks "The Weekend Review with the Hocks!"
The start of this week was all very normal for The Hocks, work and school, boring boring boring! Although we did get some good news from Rosies teacher that Rosie is doing particularly well with her maths work which we were very pleased to hear!! Also, Colin's market stall "Mind Games Southport" has had a big delivery of brand new stock meaning that they had a very good and busy week this week!! You can visit Mind Games Southports blog and take a look at some of their new stock here mindgamessouthport.blogspot.co.uk
However, the week took a turn for the worst on Thursday evening/Friday morning when Rosie fell ill overnight with a very bad chest and high temperature. Anna took her to the doctors on Friday morning and she was diagnosed with a chest infection and was prescribed antibiotics. Allan arrived home from work on Friday evening (allan works away from home Monday to Friday) and whereas Rosie would usually run around the house with him for hours all she wanted to do was sit on the sofa and do nothing. Rosie just got worse and worse throughout the evening but luckily after her antibiotics and some calpol plus a nice visit from Grandad Eifion and Gran Lynne, she seemed to settle down, her temperature eased a little and she managed to get to sleep.
After a good nights sleep Rosie woke up on Saturday morning feeling a bit brighter. Earlier in the week Allan and Anna had decided that it was time to buy a new car, so they headed over to Southport with Rosie to see Tommy, Michelle and Colin and go and buy one!! At first we all went to the car showroom to look at the cars but the cold wind was triggering Rosies cough off again and making her miserable so she went back to Tommy and Michelle's house with her nana and Anna, Allan, Tommy and Colin spent the day looking around the car showrooms. In the end Anna and Allan decided on a beautiful Kia Rio 2 in red that looks just like this.....
Sexy huh?? They are very very happy with it and can't wait to pick it up, hopefully next weekend!! Rosie has seen the picture and very much approves !!
Today (Sunday) Tommy, Michelle and Colin went to Wrexham to Anna, Allan and Rosies house. There were a few bits in the house that Allan needed Tommys help with and Tommy and Michelle also wanted to buy a new booster seat to go in their car for Rosie. We had a phonecall from Eifion to say that his iPad screen had gone funny and did any of us know what the problem could be. After searching on the Internet we decided to go round to Lynne and Eifions house to look at the ipad in person. When we looked at it, the screen was all red and blurry, we thought at first it looked like water damage but it hadn't been anywhere near water. However Eifion did say that it had fallen off the bed a few days before. We thought that it had been damaged from the fall but after a few smacks on the back of it and taking it out of its case and turning it over very quickly it all of a sudden just went back to normal, it was most strange!! But if this ever happens to your iPad we strongly recommend trying that before taking it straight to a repair man!! It could save you a hell of a lot of money!!
After coming back from Lynne and Eifions house Anna, Allan, Tommy, Michelle, Colin and Rosie headed off to halfords to look at booster seats for Rosie. After buying some booster seats we headed off to Currys to look for some new appliances to go in Tommy and Michelle's kitchen. We then all came back to Anna and Allans house and watched a film before Tommy, Michelle and Colin headed off home.
All in all not a bad week apart from Rosies couple or poorly days!!
See you next week!
