With a luxury budget our housemates were looking forward to picking out this week's shopping list.

Despite £550 not being every housemates' idea of luxury, the majority of the celebs got stuck in with Tricia bravely taking up the chalk. Ryan gallantly joined her. You knew he would though, didn't you.

Sam was first to suggest an item – a chocolate bar. He was clearly going to be a lot of help.

Speidi quickly retired to the bedroom with more pressing matters, namely a back rub for Spence. We don't want to hear any complaints from them if housemates missed off any of their fave snacks.

Paula wasn't far behind and Lacey soon chose a chat with the '80s model over the task in hand.

Meat featured heavily in the early shopping debate with Frankie proposing eight packets of mince. Razor piped up with, "I love mince," prompting Frankie to add an additional two packs.

By the time talk turned to herbs and spices, just Claire, Tricia and Ryan remained.

Housemates were reluctant to take responsibility for the maths but good old Claire gave it her best shot and just inside the 45 minute time limit, it was Rylan who picked up the chalk board and headed to the Diary Room.

Shopping has a legendary reputation for causing a good old row in the House. Will BB's delivery be the catalyst for the first proper barney of the series? We'll have to wait and see.

The shopping list

Speidi were particularly helpful with the shopping

We've been missing a mischief maker in the House but the shopping list may just have spawned one.

Don't get too carried away – we're not promising you a repeat of Caroline and the chocolate incident from last summer or Harry from BB12's banana, frosted flakes and food colouring shocker but our Rylan has been tampering with the chalk board in the Diary Room.

Reading out this week's shopping list, Rylan questioned BB over what would happen if housemates went over their £550 budget.

He was told – as any good BB fan worth their salt knows – that Big Brother would remove the last items on the list until the shopping fell within budget.

Rylan hastily began scribbling on the board – would he dare fiddle with housemates democratic choices?

Our X Factor runner up wasn't done with the questions for BB, highlighting the lack of organic produce listed, something he predicted might rile the diet conscious Paula. To be honest Rylan, Paula took as much interest in the shopping list as you take in other people's witty anecdotes...

Not that we're suggesting Rylan's self obsessed. He popped a bottle of salad cream onto the end of the list for Razor. Let's hope that doesn't push them over budget.

But back to the meddling. After a grilling from BB, Rylan revealed what changes he had made.

"It started with a little stick figure," declared Rylan. "Then that turned into Pat Butcher, then moved onto Dot. Then I drew a peg, that's Peggy, then a cat, that's Kat, then Kat's family, some people on the roof,  its the Slaters I think. It's quite good to be fair."

Focus Rylan. That sounds like a super Eastenders sketch but you forgot to draw Kathy. We won't tell Gillian.

If we are to believe the tabloids, celebrities spend most of their time at glitzy bashes so it came as no surprise when Rylan suggested a party in the igloo.

Frankie and Razor were first through the doors, the keeners.

Most of the girls – Gillian, Trisha, Lacey and Claire – were too busy having a good old girly chat at the dinner table – focusing on stories from their lives that made the headlines. It was starting to look a lot like a party for two...awkward.

Paula came to the boys rescue sending the ladies and Rylan to the igloo in time to arrive fashionably late. Unfortunately Claire didn't get up from the table fast enough and Paula had her cornered.

Too polite to admit she wanted to join the gang, Claire sat serenely through Paula's tales, the highlights being what makes a good white wine spritzer, how Paula lost her confidence at juggling and a potted history of Paula's recent demands for Big Brother.

She did however have one question for Claire, concerning her opera singing. "Can you break a glass?" she asked.

"No, that's an urban myth," mumbled Claire.

And where were Speidi while all this was going on? Snuggled up in the bedroom. When are these guys going to get their mingle on?

If we're honest, they weren't missing much in the icy snug. The conversation had turned to bottoms.

Before long Rylan had perked up the party, Claire and Paula finally left the table and even Speidi showed up.

But our marrieds had no time for this little gathering. It smells of, "BO, balls and bad perfume," quipped Heidi, topping up her wine glass and heading out.

"It does smell like salami," offered Gillian.

Just as we were starting to enjoy ourselves Big Brother announced the shopping was in the store room. Hopefully housemates will be happy with their delivery. We wouldn't want anything to upset the party now would we?.

We expected some kind of hoo-hah once housemates received this week's shopping but even we couldn't have predicted what would upset the applecart.

It was chocolate. Apparently Tricia only likes one brand (the one famed for its smooth and creamy texture) and claimed, "I'm dead funny about me chocolate." The diva.

Did our housemates put her in her place? Did they 'eck as like. Lacey demanded a vote to decide whether to let her have the choc she craved and Sam and Frankie offered to hand theirs over.

Paula was pleased to discover a bar of organic chocolate which Razor took the credit for picking and Claire admitted she had a bar of Tricia's choc of choice which set the Heartbeat barmaid off again. Needless to say, she got her way.

Gillian picked up on how valuable a commodity the humble choccie bar could become and decided she was going to save hers for bartering with. Very Prisoner Cell Block H.

Heidi popped a square into her mouth but was thwarted by her spouse.

"Do you want chocolate teeth?" demanded Spencer.

She did not it seems and as the other housemates busied themselves unpacking the shopping, the couple headed for the Diary Room. Honestly, any sign of hard work and those two realise they have a pressing matter to discuss with BB – just sayin'.

The rest of the shopping appears to be to the guys' satisfaction although they are regretting not ordering any mint sauce. It's probably best not to sweat the small things chaps.
