After having failed the first two weekly tasks, housemates have managed to pass the 'workhouse' one, meaning they get £252 to spend on this week's new shopping list.

However it was almost all blown at the last minute when a laminate from yesterday had been left out in the garden, where Maxwell could have seen it and blown the whole cover which they'd been putting on for the past few days. Thankfully he didn't see it, and Anthony quickly got rid of it whilst no prying eyes (other than the cameras) were looking.

As a test of how well they'd all done, Maxwell was called to the Diary Room to talk about what he thought of the task, and without knowing it was being watched on the plasma screen by the other nine. Thankfully he didn't have a clue what'd been happening all week, and said how he thought some of them were a bit wimpy at doing some of the tasks but how they all seemed to pull together.

It was only once he'd returned to the sofa's with all the rest of the group that Big Brother announced that they had indeed passed the task, at which point Makosi shouted "well done Maxwell!" which caused a few moments confusion as Maxwell couldn't see why he'd been singled out for the praise, but soon had it all explained to him.

But not everyone is celebrating
Despite the good news about the boosted shopping budget allowing for some real Luxury purchases this coming week, not everyone is going to benefit from all the extras - Vanessa has been told that because she didn't take part in the task as Worker 1, that she'll only get three meals served to her per day in the diary room, and isn't allowed to eat any of the other food which is supplied to housemates!
