July 9 2003

9.02am: In around fifteen minutes time, the housemates will be awakened by Ray's song choice: today it's either Nelly or Busted. I'd bet Nelly.

9.16am: The lights are switched on. Steph sits up in bed and starts rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

9.17am: The opening notes of 'Hot in Herre' are played over the tannoy, causing Steph to smile. Lisa and Nush smile as they sit up in bed too. Tying her hair up, Nush sings along.

9.18am: Lisa has a little boogie as she makes her bed. Ray pops his head round the door, saying it was either this or Year 3000. Nush then Steph leave the room, followed by Lisa. Nush heads out into the garden where the music can still be heard and starts skipping around the grass. Ad break.

9.23am: We're back. Steph, Lisa, Ray and Cam are sitting on the sofas. Cam asks if Nush is in the bathroom. Lisa tells Ray he spoke too soon about the nice weather. Scott says he'll start on his chore but may need a hand in about an hour because it's quite a big job.

9.24am: Cam says he's just waiting for BB to announce the hot water is on. Ray laughs and tells him it's already on. Surprised, he gets up and enters the bathroom, as Steph goes out into the garden. Lisa is now sitting alone on the sofas.

9.26am: Lisa gets up and goes into the girls' bedroom, telling Nush, who is back in bed under the covers, that her shoes look cool. Lisa kneels down by her bed, pauses, then says she'll have a shower before she gets dressed.

9.27am: Lisa returns to the sofas, whilst in the background, Scott is doing the drying up in the kitchen.

9.29am: Scott passes Lisa a bin bag, which she takes over and hands to Steph, who is waiting at the patio doors. Lisa returns to the sofas, then Steph asks for some rubber gloves, which she takes over before returning again to the sofas.

9.31am: Scott empties the kitchen bin, taking ther black bin bag out into the garden. Lisa watches on from the sofas.

9.34am: Lisa gets up and goes into the girls' bedroom. Nush asks if the shower's free. Lisa tells her she's going in after Cameron, then Nush can go in after her. Lisda picks up her towel and walks out into the garden, remarking on the "little pieces of poo" left everywhere by ther chickens.

9.35am: Scott is now washing up the wok. Lisa comes back indoors and returns to... the sofas.

9.36am: Lisa asks Scott how often the mirrors were cleaned before he had to the other day; he says not very often, although he saw Ray doing them a few times. Ad break.

9.41am: Scott is still in the kitchen. He pours all of the half-full bottles of lemonade into one bottle, then pours hot water from the kettle into a cup and throws the empty bottles away.

9.44am: Scott sets about cleaning the inside of the oven using teatowels.

9.47am: ..and a scouring pad, having used some kitchen spray.

9.49am: BB announces that the SR is open for the next half hour. Cam re-enters the hosue and goes into the store room, using a box to keep the door open.

9.50am: "Active gel oven cleaner," he tells Scott, picking up the first of the items and taking it out to him. Cam asks if they've given thought to what they're going to be eating today.

9.51am: Scott is now putting that spray to good use. Cam says if they have the soup for lunch, then tonight they could have sausage and tomato casserole with a potato topping. Scott, who has his head in the oven, agrees.

9.52am: Cam retrivess some tins from the store room, as well as a couple of potatoes and some more spray.

9.53am: Cam asks if they need bread, Scott says he might as well get a loaf out. He asks if he should take out another pack of sausages if they'll be making that meal; Scott agrees again.

9.54am: Nush comes out, Scott says he may need a hand. Nush tells Cam she';ll clean the bedroom mirrors if he likes, then goes for a shower.

9.55am: Cam is still wittering on about the sausage for tonight; Scott is agreeing but he doesn't really seem to be paying much attention.

9.56am: Cam goes back into the SR. "Do we need more cheese out?" he asks, before adding: "I'm sorry Scott, I'll stop asking, you're busy." Nevertheless Scott tells him they do. out in the garden, Steph is working on cleaning the chicken coop.

9.57am: Scott now has on a pair of yellow rubber gloves and is emptying a spray bottle at the sink. Cameron waits patiently behind him holding another spray bottle.

9.58am: Cameron pours the contents from one bottle into another, as Scott cleans the spray tube part from one bottle with hot water. Cameron's beard is coming on quite a bit.

Those were the days .....
