Woo week

I guess most people have heard of secret santa, where everyone gets a name and they buy that person a pressie for Christmas, well Jen came up with a great idea of “Woo Week” for valentines day.

The idea is everyone has a person they have to “woo” for the week, in secret and then on Valentines Day, you reveal who you are to your wooee (spell check doesn’t like that word, but say it out load and you will get what i mean!) So for the next week, everyone is running round resort, breaking into flats, leaving love poems, cakes, presents for each other, all in covert operations. It’s going to be a right giggle.

We went ice skating last Wednesday , that was fun, there were some absolute beginners who had never been on ice before, then Rick who plays ice hockey and a few people in between, we pretended to play hockey, but i think the fact there were 3 pucks on the ice kind of changed the rules a bit, there were some chairs, a bit like push chairs but with blades on, so we pushed each other around on those,  those and then one of the guys hired a go cart and tried driving on ice, it was chaos! We probably looked an overgrown  playgroup outing.

I was wooing Luke the resort manager, I got into his flat and left him a message, I set up an email account and sent him loads of emails, I set up a facebook account and asked to be his friend, and then on the day he went to a meeting down the mountain I broke into his flat again and filled it with balloons and stuck secret messages in his socks and coat pockets, in his work folder and food cupboard, he is still finding them weeks later!

My wooer left me loads of messages all over the chalet, I would open cupboards and they would be there, or i would go to get a pan out and it would have a message in it. I think Jen was in on it helping because they started appearing at the flat. Some of the poems i got were:

Roses are red

Violets are blue,

Oranges are orange I love you

 

Oh valentine mine

Lets get it on

Then you be, my petit couchon!

I’m not sure what a petit couchon is, but I hope its not rude.

But the piece de resistance had to be the picture of a lady wearing not much except a bra and knickers and my head superimposed on her and the poem, Roses are red, violets are blue, this is how i think of you! That one freaked ,me out a bit, it was like having a crazy stalker.

On Wednesday we went for a really nice meal, proper French stuff, raclette, hot stones and fondue, but I may have misunderstood Jen when she said we were revealing ourselves to our wooees..........

But at least i didn’t get arrested or escorted home in a police car this time, so it all turned out good.

Take care all xxxxxx
