… for once all of the housemates were up bright and early and having breakfast in the kitchen, all apart from Stuart who everyone assumed was in the shower. It was ‘task day’ and they knew that, even though Paul had been doing really well with the car, because of all the arguments about who was in charge they were still running behind schedule and they were anxious to get started.
‘It’s lush out there, I think I’m gonna put Bowden into his pram on the patio’ Helen said and wandered outside with the baby.
‘Guys!’ Helen shouted from outside. ‘I may not know much about cars, but it looks finished to me!’
‘What Babe, it can’t be!’ shouts Paul as the others head towards the patio doors to investigate.
Standing in the middle of the garden is an immaculate red and chrome sports car, which certainly looked finished.
‘What the……’ Dean says and heads over to the car with an amazed look on his face.
Suddenly from the far side of the car a clanking noise can be heard, followed a few seconds later by Stuarts head appearing from behind the boot.
‘Finished’ he said, throwing the spanner back into the tool box next to him and standing back obviously very proud of his handy work. ‘What do you think?’
‘Stuart’ yelled Brian ‘That’s evil! You must have been up all night’.
‘I couldn’t sleep so I thought I would do something useful.’
Everyone looked impressed apart from Paul who was feeling a bit put out as he had really been looking forward to finishing off the car.
‘I thought we were gonna have to work so hard today’, Josh said with a grin on his face, ‘now all I’ve got to do is top up my tan!’
Paul wondered over to the car and started to inspect it. Suddenly he started to laugh..
‘Wicked. I mean I know I wanted to finish it, but you done a cool job and it means I can spend more time with Bowden, so that’s cool.’
‘This is Big Brother. Could all housemates please go back into the house while we send in an engineer to inspect the car.’
All the housemates head back into the house and Stuart goes off to have a shower.
‘I thought you’d be really annoyed with Stuart.’ Josh said to Paul, ‘After all you wanted to finish the car didn’t you?’
‘I was at first, but like, well… it’s not worth it is it mate? After all it’s all for charity and Stu did do a cartastic job on it.’
Naz and Brian had wondered off into the lounge talking quietly to each other. ‘I wonder what that pair are up to,’ Bubble said and sneaked off after them to see if he could overhear what was going on………
