Been watching BB8 as I'm sure those who regularly read my blog are aware of. It is beginning to warm up now and the excitement hopefully is that Pauline or Pooh/Poo from the Australian BB House will be joining the UK house for a short period of time. No one knows how long she will be with the housemates, it all depends how long it takes them to work out she is an actress. LOVE IT!!!!!

Thaila Zucchi (if I have spelt that correctly) is a UK actress who has appeared on a few TV shows recently and could easily be busted by the housemates at any time, so she's going to have to put on a great act. I wonder why the producers have decided to use such an obvious choice? Could it be that they want the HMs to work out the 'mole' in the number? I can see why this week is a very clever choice to use Pauline and why it is also the start of 'FAKE WEEK'. Another fabulous turn of events is on Friday a housemate is going to be evicted, interviewed by Davina and then thrown straight back into the house. ........The further twist is the the housemates will be watching every single word of the interview. This week is the clever choice because most of the housemates have made it clear that the are growing increasingly tiresome of Charley. Charley will be a brilliant choice to be interviewed next week and the only other better choice is Ziggy (unlikely to be voted by his peers) - Sorry not PIGGY! or Chanelle (very likely to be voted). Chanelle will go to pieces when she sees that dear Ziggy has been telling Gerry he wants to end his relationship with her. I doubt she will even want to go back into the house at all except to slap Ziggy which I'd pay money to watch!!!!

Looks as though Carole is playing detective and thinks Pauline may not be who she says she is? Brian also WATCHED Australian BB but did not even recognize that Pauline was not in the programme nor the diary room chair was different or even the diary room was not even the same? Thought the lad was playing thick but maybe he really is?

What a beautiful day it is today!

The sun is out and the only clouds are those whispy ones which don't bother the sun and certainly don't bother me. The pain monster is low key also and that puts muggins here in one hell of a great mood.

Mother in law made us roast lamb for dinner today as hubby is working but as usual and I don't mean to sound totally ungrateful (but will sound totally ungrateful), the meal was not very nice. (Does not look like this picture). She means well and cooks for us because she wants us three to have a good roast while hubby is not there and knows my back can't take the rigorous cooking but bless her, we do not like her roast dinners! I've tried to tell her we're OK now and my back is getting better but she's happy to cook for us and it means that she can pull out the stops once a month as normally it is only her and my father in law to cook for. She makes a mean cottage pie and if only she would cook us that now and again it would cheer us all up.

The irony is that I CAN cook a roast. I need a lot of help and after cooking it I can't sit with the family because I'm in so much pain so at least with her cooking I get to sit with my kids. She'll be 74 on Tuesday, she's one amazing lady; so we will continue to pretend we love her roasts and buy her one great pressie to share her how much we care.

SATs!

My daughter has now received all of her SATs results and she is a happy girl. They are all what we expected and her science teachers have made her feel fantastic about her science results and confident about her GCSEs too.

This is all good news. My son gets his results on Monday although the Headteacher has the results in a big envelope in his office right now. Being the vice chair of governors held no sway over him when I just saw him and he would not tell me what my son's results were! My son has very high expectations.......Just like his mother at that age.

Where did all the years go?

Wiglet Junior

Tis Sports Day for Wiglet master junior today and possibly his report day too but I think that may come out tomorrow? SATs come out today or tomorrow for both the kidlets and I hope they've done as well as they could have but I worry so much for my daughter who has had such a poor past attitude. Darling daughter has not had her inter-house sports afternoon due to......Ummmm? Guess what? Yes RAIN!

Sent hubby and the camcorder to the sports day and hopefully he has worked how to use it now. The rain is holding off for now but there is a HUGE rain cloud overhead and I wonder if it is on top of the hill where the school is? Must keep an eye on that as bunnies are outside. My back and right ankle are both painful and good indicators of crappy weather. Oh lovely!

Big Brother Entry Number ?

Big Brother dedicated entry today as I'm quite into this series now. Yes I am a very sad individual who has no life! I do not need telling but my own reasons for watching are because I love to see the interactions of my fellow human beings and what happens when you throw people from diverse backgrounds together. Do they sink or do they swim? So far the housemates are thinking about themselves rather than each other no matter how much they declare otherwise!

Gerry, here on the right taking a nap which he frequently does throughout the day, was yesterday morning having a fantastic chat with Liam about many of the housemates but alas he discussed nominations. He was talking with Liam who I think was trying desperately not to mention that dreaded 'N' word and in fact the word was changed to eviction. They predicted that Charley would be gone by next Friday. Have they formed a pact? If so the producers will not allow them to vote next week.....unless the producers now realise we, the audience are beginning to tire of the constant arguments and want her gone next week!

Who knows what will happen next? Laura and Chanelle are up for nomination this week and I feel it is almost certain that Laura will go because the silly girl has used the word 'poof' more than a couple of times. Because Emily used a racist term and was kicked out earlier in the series, Laura is also under those same rules according to BB. The rule states that Big Brother has the right to remove a housemate if they use offensive or derogatory language. (Don't have the exact wording but it is similar to that). I bet there are a shed load of lawyers now looking over this and Emily will also be taking some sort of legal advise because taking my feelings out of this, if the rule is considered the same the so should the punishment?

I'm part of a forum and I try to keep an open mind about what people say and I keep my ramblings for here. I felt that awful nasty bitch of a girl Emily was racist in using that word and no matter how many times she states she was friends with Charley this is a lie; she tolerated her and that word was from the undercurrent of her real feeling of dismissiveness towards her. As for Laura, hanging her head in shame, I do not believe she meant any harm by her word but it is ignorant to use it and in particular in front of or to a gay man. Gerry is not the sort of person to say if he is offended and so I doubt we will not know untill he is interviewed with Davina. I'm sure the public will vote heavily now because of this and Laura does not stand a chance. The producer's job is done for them, nice and neatly by the public. Hatchet job though if you ask me and I hope that Laura is NOT booed as she walks out the door for this one word. If she gets a few boos (not ALL boos) but a few, that should be because she looked like a good HM when she went in but alas now her dressing gown is more exciting than she is.

'Nice' Day and Happy 4th July!

Would you believe my Friends Reunited visit has conjured up yet another old buddy! A friend who I used to play with from up the road, messaged me at the weekend.

It was a tad bit embarrassing because I did not recognise the name at first or should I saw I knew the name but could not place it with a person? I had to ask for a clue which I hated as if that was me I would of felt awful (and I felt awful asking). Thankfully she didn't mind and gace me some memorable names which brought back a time when I decided to run away and she kept me company all day. She was a nice girl then and probably a lovely lady now.

Slept better last night praise the lord as have had to go to my darling daughter's Award's day. Slightly different from anything we do at my son's junior school and the governors all so high and mighty, (including the mayor!) all sat at the front with their high and mighty hats. That is one thing I would NEVER allow as a governor at my lad's school. I've always been happy to get to the front by getting their first

My daughter brought home a pretty shite report yesterday and I admit I got a bit upset with her. I showed her a report from when she was six and it home as that early one was full of praise for what she was not saying "If only she woulds" all the time. We're seeing the director of studies tomorrow to discuss the GCSE music problem my daughter had plus seeing as every subject bar the sciences say my daughter needs to get her act together.....We need to do something but what? Part of it may be that she is overwhelmed by the amount of work needed and expected. She was allowed to get away with so much at her old school and now she's not allowed to get away with ANYTHING. She is now turning that corner at least and PLEASE let's hope so.

It's my son's sports day tomorrow so it is bound to rain!............That is life.

So So Nice

I had a really lovely email today.

It was from a girl I went to school with who I'd contacted via Friends Reunited. I don't have many happy memories of school because the place itself was not a nice place but I did have some people I enjoyed spending time with. The person who emailed was one of those. I'm so pleased to see she has ended up with her Prince Charming too because when we were at school I think she was as unhappy with herself as I was with myself? I could be wrong here.

I have a message still to read at the Friends site as I wrote to three people that day. I think I was one of those people who others tend to forget or did in those days? If you ask who was Wiglet (name changed to protect the mad one) then I guess people would say "WHO???" I didn't come out as the real me till I left school and got a confidence transplant. The kids helped that one.

My pain levels are up a bit today and I reckon that is all thanks to tiredness. The husband worked for the past four nights and I slept for about six hours in total out of the past 96 hours. Will sleep well tonight and not watch Big Brother all night!!!!!
