Day 28: Shopping task - The Budget

Yesterday, when Dan realised that it was Tuesday, he momentarily set aside the surprise of the Safe House reveal to wonder aloud why they hadn't yet been set a shopping task. "Something's not right" he mused more than once. We're sure that today, when the task is announced, he'll be momentarily relieved. Well, until he realises that the House is about to feel the bitter sting of austerity.

For the next two days, Charlie, Dexter and Gina will form the Treasury, presiding over the House's finances, making tough cuts to things the housemates hold dear. They'll have difficult choices to make, like deciding whether to remove all the cigarettes or all the luxury food from the House, or which housemate to deprive of that ever-important staple, makeup.

The Treasury and housemates will also be offered expensive treats, which will incur penalty fines if accepted. Will they be able to stay strong and resist temptation?

"Times are tough, let's pull together." That's the motto of this BB Treasury, but with Treasury members living in the lap of luxury and housemates facing the reality of austerity, let's see how that works out, eh?

George Osborne, eat your heart out.

Make sure to keep checking back here, and on Twitter, for updates on this penny pinching task.

Day 28: The Budget begins

This week's shopping task, The Budget, has hit the House, and already the Treasury (Charlie, Dexter and Gina) have had a tough decision to make: they had to decide whether their HMs would lose their beds or their clothes for the duration of the task.

The Treasury made the call to take the clothes away. Let's face it, half of the House has already gone a whole week without their cases anyway.

This particular cut has earned the House £90 for their shopping budget.

LOL Look at Dexter! Looking like the Godfather in that picture.

Gstar · 10-07-2013, 10:34 AM

This could be good

My only fear is Charlie being like "omg don't do that, that's cruel"

Josy · 10-07-2013, 10:35 AM

Ah this sounds good

Benjamin · 10-07-2013, 10:36 AM

Oh this does sound good. Also when did they get their suitcases back (those that had been "shredded"), how did I miss that?

Josy · 10-07-2013, 10:38 AM

They got them back the night Sallie was evicted Ben (I think)

Benjamin · 10-07-2013, 10:39 AM

Oh, hahaha, I must have been in mourning that night and missed it.

Love this task - hopefully they will take Hazel's make up away that would be a wheeze!!

Vanessa · 10-07-2013, 10:51 AM

Come on, Dexter! Make me proud!

Calderyon · 10-07-2013, 11:03 AM

Might be a good task. Obviously not fond of the potentially major Ginxter involvement, but then again it might be a good thing, due to the fact that it will probably annoy the no-safehouse houseguests even further.

Will watch of course.

daniel-lewis-1985 · 10-07-2013, 11:18 AM

They need tougher choices than that.

example: take away all the cigarettes or show housemates bitching about each other on the plasma.

CaudleHalbard · 10-07-2013, 11:18 AM

Take away cigarettes and makeup.

When I was reading what the task was about that was my thought, take away Hazel's makeup.

Great minds and all that

but I would seriously love to see how she would cope without all the slap on and what she would do with her time as it seems to take her most of the day to put it on!!!

Daffodil · 10-07-2013, 11:37 AM

Yes!! Hazel without her slap..... bring it on!

Daffodil · 10-07-2013, 11:39 AM

..oh and p.s. Wolfy without her fags!!

BigBrotherfan4ever · 10-07-2013, 11:42 AM

I know she won't know what to do with herself

And yet she is not even the longest time spender regarding self grooming. No, that title goes to Gag, who spends 4-5 hours (time was on highlights) doing her make up and doing her hair with those curling things on for god knows how long.

And yet, after all that trouble, she still looks the same.
