Grumble, Grumble, Chocolate Orange

Well i did have a lovely long blog for you.... hilarious it was too but due to a power outage i lost all my *ahem*  hard work! Technology on a Sunday morning = fail :( Ergo you have a slightly grumpy hooker now!

Oh well, ill start again.

This week has gone incredibly fast.... even faster than usual... and has blurred into a haze of Bra partys, first time trick or treating, frenzy style hooking, cold gyms and moldy walls... Oh and many, many chocolate oranges ill explain later.

So, "Bra party"? i hear you say..... you will probably know by now that each and every well nearly every Monday evening, myself and a few other oddly minded hooker/friend types, all invade Chez Itchy Crochet for an evening of hooking, pink plonk, and setting the world to rights in a most amusing ranty fashion.
Well, not this week.... there was a difference. This week, Itchy held a "Bra Spa" party.... meaning a larger number of crazy (and lovely) ladies, munchies, alcohol, and a slightly crazy, vertically challenged lady armed with her "magic" tape measure, and the mission to "correctly" fit us all. And, do you know something..... she much be a bloody witch doctor.... she did magical things with all our bosoms... some more alarming than others and thats a whole other story.

This Hooker shouldn't be left with coloured icing!

Wednesday night, as you know, was "actual" Hallowe'en, and i got to take Mini Hook trick or treating for the first time :D Cue Mummy being a bigger kid than the kids! 
We decided that as my parents have lived in their house since the dawn of time.. and most of the neighbours came with the house, that we would let my Mini Hook or sppoky skeleton for the evening knock on the doors of the people we've known for years. After the first house, Mini Hook realized that the cuter he spoke to the sweet bearing neighbours... the more goodies he got.... clever little skeleton ;p 
The second we arrived back at my parent house, Mini Hook unceremoniously dumped the contents of his swag bag all over the living room floor, and jumped around going "Hurray, mmmmm, treats" while deciding what he would devour first. Needless to say, a sugar fueled hour followed!

The rest of the week went by in a haze of kids dvds i can now quote the Cars, and Shrek films word for word, giddy Mr Hook as the new wrestling game came out for the xbox, and frenzy hooking.

Saturday... hmm, well as myself and Itchy Crochet are reasonably nice people on a good day anyway ;p we thought we'd do a friend a favour, and have a "stall" at a charity "table top" sale. Hmmmmm...... Thank whatever you class as holy for Thermos flasks!... the gym we were in was colder than the snow queens toenail! (And the walls directly behind us were covered in mold, triggering Itchys OC (O) shes far too organized to have a disorder.
The afternoon resulted in extreme minimal sales, and two slightly grumpy hookers. 

So, how does this hooker make light of  grumpy situation?..... well the evening contained much pizza consumption, a bottle of wine, crocheting, Red Dwarf, and... Oooh a Chocolate orange that came back from the sale in the guise of a xmas pud cover i'd made. Very cute too if i do say so myself... there's even a snowman head orange cover..... all of which are avalible on the For Hooks Sake Facebook page *plug plug* or at Warrington Market on Sat 24th Nov.

Well wasnt that an exiting week?! Hmmmm

As todays Sunday, myself and Mini Hook are off to my parents house again, so that Mini hook can run riotous rings around his grandparents and Auntie, and i can sit on the sofa, crocheting and laughing..... and mocking ;p




Ooh, Monday tomorrow........ that means fellow Hookers, lots of pink plonk, nibbles and humorous banter. Hurrah!
