SHOPPING BUDGET WAR!

Thursday 31st July 2008

Rex, Mikey and Stuart are doing the shopping budget today. They are on a basic budget of £7 per hm for the week, having failed the shopping task earlier in the week.

They have only ordered milk, tea, coffee, sugar and custard creams. The balance of the money all going on tokens and mystery gifts. Absolutely hilarious and I see a total freak out by Luke when he discovers what they have done. Lisa too will have a fit.

Watch for the war to begin and the sparks to fly when the shopping is delivered!

From the ch4 website:

"Rex plays havoc with the shopping list...

Okay, imagine you have to do a big shopping list and you can't even boil an egg. You'd choose someone who knew what they were doing in a kitchen, right? So Rex took on the job of the Basic Shopping Budget.

Sitting on the floor in the Luxury Bedroom, Rex set about the Task and was joined by Mikey. But very soon it emerged that Rex was up to no good. "Why don't we just get 77 special tokens?" Rex suggested. "I think that's a good idea," said Mikey, "but there's a limit - I think we're only allowed 10 tokens at any one time." Rex pored over the list but came to the conclusion that they could order as many as they wanted.

"**** the budget," he laughed. "Let's get tea, coffee and butter and 77 tokens. We're not going to get anything good out of this budget anyway. I don't care if people hate me for doing it." "Yeah, why not go out in style Rex," laughed Mikey. So, after very little deliberation Rex headed off to the Diary Room with the list:

Tea
Coffee
Milk
Sugar
Four normal Tokens
57 Big Brother Ever Changing Special Prize Tokens
Oh, and one packet of custard creams.

"You should trust me," Rex told the housemates as he passed through the Living Area, "I'm looking out for the House's best interests." Hold on tight..."
