Opportunity Group

Opportunity Group was so much fun today- Nina absolutely loves it and i'm so sad that there are only 2 more sessions before she goes to nursery =( ...Nursery won't start until September so i'm going to see if i can find some kind of club that will run throughout the holidays so we don't go from weekly trips to OG and then nothing until she is plonked into a classroom with 20+ other kids.. I'm not sure how many more visits from Aileen we'll have either but it can't be that many- maybe 4 or 5 if they continue fortnightly (they should now be monthly but that set Nina back so we carried on as we were) .. well, today the kids went to play in the field with go-karts, balls and bikes.. Nina loved that- running around with the helper Rik and a bunch of other kids... nursery really should be the making of her and i have no clue how i could ever repay the people at the Portage Centre for what will hopefully be a clean smoth transition- months ago this was a real worry where as now, i am so excited for Nina =)) ..so as a 'Thank You' what should i do? ..any suggestions? ..please let me know in the comments section- i think i want something other than flowers or chocolates for Aileen- something she can keep ...or is that too sentimental? ..for the OP Organisers, well there are quite a few of them so i'm figuring a large tin of chocs that they can tuck into around the office...what do you think?

BB7: Day 48

There's been a lot of movement in the BB compound since Friday and whilst i'm not sure if BB realised their plans for Aisleyne and the Secret House had been rumbled and decided to hurry things along, but tonight we are left with only two new secret housemates and Aisleyne is definitely returning to the main house in a live show tomorrow night- i'm looking forward to watching that... Leas and Nikkis face will be an absolute picture! ..i'm not sure if anyone, old and new housemates, knows that Aisleyne is going back in so it should be awesome viewing- unless of course BB manage to cock this up too =/
So, here's my latest take on the 2 BB Houses:

The Main BB House

	the original housemates, incredibly, still believe that Aisleyne left the building on Friday night but she hasn't left their thoughts for too long- Lea, Nikki and Richard have discussed her at length and in particular Nikki.. her vitriole was disturbing and also, she was the only HM to raise their hand when asked as a group by Jayne whether they were glad that Aisleyne had left ...*giggles ..it just keeps getting better =)
	Glyn's committed the biggest sin ever possible in BB7: he nominated Pete ..*gasps ...bizarrely tho, Glyn nominated Pete because Pete has been distant but that started when Glyn decided to 'side' with the Plastics and its never been the same since... but now Glyns feeling guilty and speaking to Pete, only to find that Pete has been distant due to his tourettes being quite bad just now... Glyns not handling that well *LOL NOMINATED: Pete and Lea NOMINATED BY: Richard and Susie
	I'm liking Imogen more and more .. i really do think Grace just didn't allow her to be herself.. i don't think there is anything special about Imogen but she's at least able to come out of her shell ... i really hope her and Mikey hit it off -i think they'd make a sweet couple ..i think thats just it- Imogen is just a sweet Welsh lass NOMINATED: Richard and Lea NOMINATED BY: Richard
	Christ on a bike!! ...this woman know no bounds at all! .. she's even managing to make Lea look sophisticated *PMSL .. how, on earth, she has managed to keep her trap shut about the secret house i do not know- in everything she does, she is just too much -i'm all for being yourself but you got to have a little respect for those around you, huh? NOMINATED: - NOMINATED BY: Nomination Immunity
	I really like Jennie- she's fun and bubbly and bright and sparky.. Nikki's gonna hate her (funny how token fat bird Jayne is liked instantly by Nikki and yet i don't think she'll take so kindly to Jennie) .. Jennie entered the house within the last 2 hours so i'm not really sure who she is gravitating towards but i suspect it will be the younger group. LAST SEEN: giving fellow scouser Mikey and big 'ug! NOMINATED: - NOMINATED BY: arrived after nominations
	Credit for this quote goes to Grace Dent who writes a Big Brother Blog for the Radio Times It's because of people like Lea that Spain wouldn't be that bothered if we chipped off Benidorm and dragged it by trawler to Blackpool. "Take it," they'd probably say, "We don't want it any more." I don't think i need to add to that ;) NOMINATED: Susie and Richard NOMINATED BY: Glyn, Imogen, Nikki and Susie
	I haven't taken to Mikey at all- he was overly friendly to Aisleyne whilst in the Secret House but made no attempt to hide his true feelings about her in the diary room =( .. he arrived with Jennie in the main house but i reckon he'll soon be partners-in-crime with Jayne- i think thats a forgone... NOMINATED: - NOMINATED BY: arrived after nominations
	Now, i'm affectionately calling Mikey Prince What-a-Prick =)) ...i really like him and i so want Jonathon to be the final guy into the main house just so Jonathan can tell him just what Grace has been up to since she left maybe then he'll make more of a play for Imogen -fingers crossed for that cat being let out of the bag *vbg NOMINATED: Richard and Nikki NOMINATED BY:
	Thats it!! i've had enough of her completely.. BB seems to be giving Nikki preferential treatment and the dance-a-thon this week proved that not all the rules apply to Nikki ...Who is she, indeed! Q. do i hate to love, or love to hate Nikki..? A. is she BBs chosen one? =( NOMINATED: Richard and Lea NOMINATED BY: Mikey
	I can't help but like Pete and unashamedly i still admit to giggling when he shouts out 'w@nkers' .. sometimes i'm convinced that he throws the occassional one in that is actually aimed at someone too *LOL .. Pete might get his lucky break this week with Lea up for nomination- her leaving might help get the 'old' Pete back =)) NOMINATED: Banned from Nominating NOMINATED BY: Glyn
	1. Germany v Italy - Italy win with 2 wonderful goals in the last 2 minutes 2. France v Portugal - i'm hoping France win and someone accidentally fouls Ronaldo and he lands face first in the stauncheon ;) 3. Richard v Lea - i reckon Ricahrd will be safe but only because he's the better of two evils NOMINATED: Imogen and Glyn NOMINATED BY: Imogen, Lea, Mikey and Nikki
	She just trugging along doing her thing (tea and toast, anyone?) .. she's inoffensive but doesn't really do anything to add to the house.. her now not being the new kid on the block might buy her a few extra weeks in the house NOMINATED: Lea and Glyn NOMINATED BY: Lea
Housemates Already Gone:

The House Next Door

	Aisleynes time in the Secret House hasn't been easy and part of me wanted her to be totally selfish when choosing which two HMs she was going to 'evict' tonight -99.9% knowing that they would be going into the main house- maybe she was trying to keep everyone sweet by drawing straws ...Aisleyne is unaware that once Jayne had left the Secret House she was badmouthing Aisleyne to anyone who'd listen- thankfully (as i'm liking Aisleyne more and more) it was only Nikki who seemed to hold any grudges.. BB has already confirmed that tomorrow is the night NOT to miss when Aisleyne returns to the main house ..OMG!!
	Jonathan seemed to be walking around with a permanant bee in his bonnet but i think thats just how he is *L .. my initial reaction was hmmmmmmm =) .. i thnk Aisleyne thinks so too but with only one more space in the main house will she choose the chunky hunk ...i'm not so sure but i kinda hope so- he'll be forever grateful and will have Aisleynes back covered i think
	Spoiral [sic] is okay- verging more on Vanilla Ice than Eminem but his heart seems to be in the right place.. i think he'd take a similar position as Jonathan in the main house with regards Aisleyne and it'd be nice to at least have one person who isn't her enemy when she returns.. the cold facts are tho, that Jonathan is far easier on the eye =/
