Dazed and ConfusedAs it's been quite a few weeks since the housemates had anything other than a basic budget, having a luxury one (after passing the Task) has thrown them into confusion. Biscuits? Cigarettes? Wine gums? What on earth should they choose?
"Don't worry about bread, don't worry about eggs, don't worry about milk, we're all gonna get one of them. So how many other things do you want, you know custard creams, cookies?" Marcus asked Rodrigo as a few of the housemates discussed the Shopping List.
"Two cookies, two custard creams, two orange squash?" asked Rodrigo timidly, adding that he'd probably like some orange juice too. So, Marcus suggested that there should be communal orange juice which didn't go down too well with Siavash
"If we're doing orange juice, let's get ten bottles and give every person a bottle," suggested Siavash, "because trust me, within a day it will be gone."
And then Halfwit got stuck in. "I don't think that's a priority for the communal stuff, we could put that at the end after luxury stuff as a 'second wave' of communal stuff," he suggested. "How about we do all the breakfast, dinner and tea stuff first, then do tobacco, hair extensions and sweets for individuals and then, with the money we've got left over we do communal luxuries like orange juice, biscuits and wine gums for everyone?" he added.
"Can I say one thing please?" asked Rodrigo, prompting the room to fall silent.
"Don't buy the mystery prize," he said.
"I think we should definitely get a mystery prize," said Siavash immediately.
"Yeah, it might be a reply from the Queen," said Marcus.
You never know Rodrigo, Her Maj might have scribbled you a quick note!
