*Geordie accent
Today in the jungle,
We woke early in the morning bright eyed and bushy tailed, except for team 4 who were asleep in their beds. I wished that was us today we had a real bushtucker trial of mixing cement and our favourite thing... brick laying.
We ventured back to camp for breakfast where we saw the excitable team 4 ready to go.
Breakfast was the same old food of beans bread and sausage, with team 4 ready to go on rest day....groans for flamingo lodge came from the rest of the team.
We went back to the build site ready to work apart from the ginger team who were wanting to work the best they could but were labelled the cripple team.
We were slaving away in the intense blistering heat but the worst hadn't come....we knew that a worse heat was coming.
We managed to get a lot of bricks laid. Team 6 were making cement while trying to manage all the different problems we were having with our backs. We were relieved when lunch came! The food was good but the best part of lunch was that we found out we were all given the afternoon off as we had worked so hard, however some teams had to spend an hour working taking turns to do work.
After tea we found a special addition to the long drops: A wasp that was flying up the long drop once you squatted, so we decided that it was a special breed of wasp " the African bumming wasp" that gave many people a fright.
But we cannot forget the fantastic team 5 are on rest day tomorrow and the stupendous team 6 the day after just to let you know.

It's day 19 in the Little Brother house and all the siblings are awake. Mam and dad are left recovering from last nights musical beds and holly is still nowhere to be seen.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is shining, the birds are singing and the sounds of minecraft carry gently on the breeze.
Tonight Charlie is up for eviction and is doing all he can to get the others on side. Using this to her advantage Mother ropes all the housemates into a range of daring activities including putting away the shoes and feeding the dog.
Tom breaks rank first and won't accept the challenges faced in little big planet and looks set to vote Charlie out. No amount of apologies or offering the controller seems to make a difference and the two avoid each other for the rest of the day.
Jack who always has problems voting
Is still trying to keep the peace within the house showing us why he is the favourite to win Little Brother 2017
Emily is still spreading sass and causing rows between housemates. Making enemies of previous female housemates by stealing and obliterating items of make up, so she begins on the males by cunningly cutting up their pokemon cards.
During the day Charlie can be seen chatting quietly to Emily and appears to breaking the rules about not discussing evictions.
Big Brother has called Charlie in for a chat.
'It wasn't me' is his only comment as he girates and mutters about being caught red handed, bathroom floors and shaggy.
Finally the vote is in and it's a shocker. It's Mother who is leaving the house. No-one saw that one coming and could be a blow to the bookies There are no goodbyes as she exits the house and looks rather triumphantly around the outside world.
What a cliff hanger!!!
Will mother return? How will the house cope without her? Will the siblings ever tidy their bedrooms and where has dad gone?
Tune in tomorrow for the next instalement of Little Brother.
Sorry Speaking of Geordie accents I proceeded to read out the blog in my best Geordie only to realise it was in BigBrother stylee but by then I had got into my stride.
Hope all is well doll. We miss and love you and are getting into Mr Chief (😂)while you are away.
Lots o loves, juggles and good stuffs
The WGs and the Little Brother housemates
Fab blog! :)
DeleteThe work looks fantastic. Well done everyone! Team 5 enjoy the relax tomorrow. Remember Chris, keep on dabbing...on the sun cream! Xxx
ReplyDeleteNot long till you're home and think of the amazing legacy you will leave behind. Having said that, jacob b you're never to leave again, like ever. I've bought us matching outfits and you're going to be attached to my hip for life. Only joking lovely, dead proud of the work you are doing. Oh I've watched Z Nation and Zoo while you've been gone and loved both, watched them because you recommended them. Now watching van hesling which I think you've seen and may get to watch teen wolf if I get time. Booked us another holiday for you to look forward to when you get home! Only a few days and we're planning a little BBQ and I've invited Zarah round too. Barry has lots of schools for you to work on when you get home since you have so much practice now! Love you darling. Love mum (me aka kelly bainbhrdge aka the queen of everything awesome), Barry (the running man aka Forrest Gump), connor (the moaner/FIFA superstar), joe (the magician) and sam (the little brother/the wanderer). See you soon lovely xxx
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know we are still alive. In Cornwall. Weather wet but funnily enough so is the sea so not a problem really. No bumming wasps here not hot enough, wet weather driving the wildlife indoors...ste still pulling the slug out of his toes after standing on one last night (nothing to do with the red wine)
ReplyDeleteMight stay for a while, the key is under the plant pot!
Another great blog, hope you enjoyed your rest day Bob. We loved looking at the photos and we are glad you are having a great time. Look forward to all the stories and more photos when you get home. Enjoy Love Catherine, Iz and Lachy xxx
ReplyDeleteP.S. James have managed to negotiate your uni accommodation after you missed the deadline (Yes Leaders I know that is really surprising for James !). Anyway single sex dormitory in quiet, no alcohol Christian zone is secured for you....happy days !
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, you could be at home in the rain!!! Extra Love to Esme xxx Vik
ReplyDeleteHow way ginger cripple team keep your spirits up you will get there David hope your allright was it your blog or another davidskeggy is boiling too
ReplyDeleteTrump still not been assassinated (sorry to be barer of bad news) but have a great story about the U'Wa a native Amazonian tribe regarding corporate cover up, CIA, assassination and a tribe of people who wear cabbage leaves on their heads when they menstruate. To tell you when you get back. Any foods you want us to get in for your return that you're particularly missing? Stella
ReplyDeleteBuilding looking impressive now. Did you wear your Hawaiian shirt to waterfall yesterday as think we may have spotted you for the third time in 3 weeks. Hot in Dom Rep so can sympathise with temperature but at least we are not working , just lying in beach! Volley ball good. Hope you enjoy your rest time in the lodge and look forward to seeing you soon and hearing your stories ..... so just warning "it was fine" when you come home won't be enough!! 😉 Love mam, dad and Laura xx
ReplyDeleteThat warning goes for Izzy West as well. " alright " will not be enough of a description.
DeleteAnother great blog x Oscar sat waiting for an early morning tunnel crossing back to blighty!! Had about 2hrs sleep due to noisy workmen at City Europe! Excited to be going home to see Alice and everyone, just hope we remember to drive on the right side of the road!! Not long now till your home to and I can give me baby boy a hug xxx
ReplyDeleteFor the sake of the ginger team I thought you might want to know the ginger emoji has officially been announced for release in 2018, along with a frowning poo emoji and a llama, what a time to be alive, stella
ReplyDeleteHellooo Izzy, Tabby here.
ReplyDeleteI've pinched the toona openers phone to do this. Well what can I say? I'm absolutely livid that the naggy hooman and the toona opener didn't tell me that you had gone away for 4 weeks. Had I known this I would have been able to relax, instead I've still been hiding in a variety of places to avoid the inevitable Izzy squeezes, although secretly I love them.
The hoomans and are being very strange, stranger than normal anyway. I think you need to come home because they are emptying the house, which I have put down to you not being here to stop them doing this. We have now lost most of our prime mouse storage areas and now have bring in twice as many just so we can have at least one in the house.
I think Sam is very confused that you're not here although it’s difficult to tell as he always looks a bit dopey. He is bringing a variety of new pets in to see if he can get you out of hiding to give them a squeeze. I'm not convinced that you would like to squeeze the bottom half of a vole but it keeps him happy, simple things please simple minds as they say.
Tilly still tries to hit us every time we walk past but I have a theory about this that she is just a prat and could do with a bloody good slap. She could also do with eating more to get the same beautiful physique as me.
Minnie has taken to sitting with the hoomans on the couch. I think she is doing this as a cunning ploy to get more dreamies, prawns and toona, I like her style. Due to this she is now getting a lovely rounded figure like mine.
Now for an update on me. I'm still the most beautiful cat in the world and make sure that I make everyone's life better by allowing them to look at me. I'm still extremely athletic and have to deliberately fall off the window sill just so that other cats don't feel bad about themselves. Everyone here still loves me, which isn't surprising as I am so magnificent, but no-one squeezes like you.
The hoomans say you might bring something back but please don't as they will be sad when all your love goes to me when you see me and you forget them.
Better move as the toona opener looks a bit too comfortable and would like his phone back.
Miss you
Tabby, Tilly, Sam and Minnie x
Dearest Holly,
ReplyDeleteBy now I assume you're baking a lovely shade of magenta in the scorching Tanzanian heat, you are quite a legend for even thinking about bearing it. Jokes aside, we all miss you very much and look forward to hearing about your expedition when you come home. With you and Rachel having so many tales to tell about your African adventures I may have to resort to sitting in a dark corner sobbing to the soundtrack of the Lion King. I am of course joking and I am so glad that you have finally made it after so long fundraising and preparing, very proud of you!
Tea party when you're back in Boro sound good? I hope so.
Lots of love from your curly haired friend,
Lily xxx
You've got a fan club back home cheering you on so you don't need to give a standing ovation on the long drop!
ReplyDeleteYou are all doing an incredibe job building and surviving in the heat. Keep enjoying it. Love Wx (Bob's Mum)

Hi Clare and Charlotte, haven't been able to follow as had problems with wifi (not only in Tanzania eh)!! Building is looking good even looks like the scaffolding is holding up - 😂😂 I expect you are both fighting fit now and if you're interested there is a pile of bricks in the garden that need moving. Drew is fine and still sleeping! Off to village fair this afternoon where I am singing with the Rock Choir, hopefully not too much heckling from the audience. Drew had a avoid birthday , he now has a very very loud music system - you'll love it mum 😱.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see that everyone's having a fantastic time and doing such great work for the local community. Keep up the amazingly funny blogs.
Lots of love, see you soon. Grandma and Drew xx
