Day 7: Second shopping list proves less of a problem
Posted by Simon at June 2, 2005 11:25 AM
It's 'the morning after the fight before', and although there wasn't fisticuffs like in BB5's 'fight night', it certainly all kicked off last night and there's some sore heads this morning.
Derek was, as usual, first to be awake and was washing up in the kitchen when the alarm went off this morning at around 10am... and kept going for around an hour.
However it wasn't long before the first arguments started, including a squabble between Roberto and Kemal about the fact Kemal had taken the bag of Bran Flakes, and between Mary and Derek, when Derek told Mary that Saskia was doing the shopping list.
Last night Makosi, Lesley, Craig, Kemal and Mary made a definite decision that they were going to do the shopping list, no matter what anyone else cares. Seems this morning they can't care less and they've not even got out of bed yet, despite it being 11:20am.
Stabbed gnome found by Science!
Yesterday news broke on various websites that housemates had stabbed a gnome in the pool, and it was also covered in BBLB. But it seems not to quite be the case, as the same back-stabbed gnome is shown in the pre-recorded pieces of video which are shown when house action can't be shown for legal reasons.
However Science and Anthony came across a grim discovery earlier today when they found the same stabbed gnome laying face down in the garden. They're not too sure if he's been in the house all the time since the start of if he's been planted there by Big Brother overnight - possibly a hint towards Makosi's continued personal task where she's saying one thing and has done quite the opposite.

Second week's shopping
The second shopping list has been completed, with Lesley, Vanessa, Craig and Kemal taking the blackboard, chalk and list of available products to the poolside. Interestingly Saskia joined the group to help them complete it, despite them including her in "the other group" during last night's arguments.
Science repeated the desire for Fish Fingers and Salad Cream, telling them that's all he was interested in and as long as he got those then "all t'ings would be good"
Lesley made the discovery that Cherryade has also been added to the list, for a whopping £50. Meanwhile Mary is moaning that she hasn't picked anything off of the list (and it's been her choice not to) and it'd seem news has reached Makosi that CherryAde is on there, so she's winding them up by trying to get them to add a bottle to the shopping - despite there's no way they can really afford it.
By 2pm the shopping list is complete, although the group don't know how much they've spent as they couldn't work out the figure and were having trouble adding it up. Craig does himself no favours with the others by stupidly saying "it probably comes to £500 pounds!!!!". Finishing of the list also coincides with Lunch being ready, although Makosi has taken to her bed where she can be heard crying, although the reason why is unclear.
Maybe it's her conscience getting the better of her, and realising she can't carry on living the lie.
Housemates given meal
With food supplies hitting a real low, and morale of the group also not being very high after the constant bickering, Big Brother has rewarded housemates with a Chinese meal.
It was well received by the hungry 13, and by 11pm they were sitting in the lounge singing various songs just like they were during Mary's birthday party earlier in the week.
