Day 24: Buying back respect

38 mins ago

 

Conor's image has taken a bit of a battering this week, so his performance in the specific domestic capacity of making next week's shopping list (won through Confusing Cuisinesuccess) carried the power to either recover or kick down his standing.

Just before midday he was called to the Diary Room where he stayed for a rollicking total of two hours.  Did he overspend by over ÂĢ100 like in the previous palava or did he ace it with mad maths skills?

The real question you should be asking is what curveballs did curveball-fiend BB have to bowl at him?

So very glad you asked. Conor was given a total budget of ÂĢ800 but in the mix were some very unusual items available for a special price. Observe...

1. Protein Shake - ÂĢ35 each

2. Giant Water Pistol (24 hours’ use) - ÂĢ25

3. Giant Bowling Set (24 hours’ use) ÂĢ15

4. Swingball (24 hours’ use) - ÂĢ20

5. Table Football (1 week’s use) - ÂĢ50

6. Polaroid Camera with film - ÂĢ70

7. Bunch of Roses for a female Housemate of your choice (purchase as many as you wish) - ÂĢ20

8. Ultimate Lads’ night in the garden including: pizza, cider, table football, a football and goalposts - ÂĢ150

9. Remote control cars and track (Scalextric, 1 week’s use) - ÂĢ150

10. Massage oils - ÂĢ10

11. Hour with Mp3 player loaded your favourite songs - ÂĢ20

12. 10 Assorted Luxury Donuts - ÂĢ15

13. Curry Takeaway with sides for all Housemates - ÂĢ80

14. A jar full of your favourite cookies - ÂĢ20

15. The full Euro 2012 football results so far - ÂĢ100

Conor played a blinder, resisting the bonus prize of watching the European Cup Final this Sunday. He brought three protein shakes for himself and fellow exercise buffs, Arron and Luke S. The playful sprite also caved three times over for the games so a giant bowling set, swingball and table football will soon be arriving in the garden. An hour with his Mp3 player and ten luxury doughnuts were his final indulgences and he managed to get all this plus tobacco for the disgruntled smokers while coming in under budget.

Well done, Conor. By resisting the more expensive treats and pacifying team 'I miss smoking so bad I could cry', he has done that rare and remarkable thing and pleased everyone.

God, they aren't half trying to do a PR job on him are they?

 

'Playful sprite'?   WTF.. who wrote that?     As for feeding their addiction with the 'protein shakes' - it's Jay McKray all over again.   I suppose they're feeding their prize winning bulls.
