You know, I was so excited that Big Brother was back on our screens. Looking forward to the opening credits, to seeing the lunatics they’ve picked out and, of course, the new diary room chair. A few days in, and I’m bored. It’s not the people, though, I think previously, they would have been very entertaining. It’s me. I’ve changed. It makes me so angry when they won’t listen to each other and end up arguing over nothing.

Last year, the Technophobe and I gossiped at the water cooler about Big Brother. That’s right, he knows how to use a television. Actually, we didn’t do that because the water cooler is the other side of the office and we sit next to each other anyway, so that would have been silly. We would predict nominations and evictions, gossip about the housemates and bitch about those that were driving us crazy.

Dear Strictly Dance Fever people, Are you freaking kidding me with this? Sadie and Joseph? No. I know they’re brilliant choreographers but Danny and Jodie should have won. Dear Big Brother people, Why kick out dear ol’ Mary when you could have kicked out boring Craig? I mean, at least Mary was interesting (if a little too interesting) at times. Craig has done nothing but sit around and bitch about the other housemates without really taking the time to get to know them.

Mmm, haven’t had a Crunchie for ages. I’m trying really hard to learn this database stuff and I am getting somewhere, but I always end up feeling so stupid because I understand how all the stuff works. I can see how the code makes what happens happen, but I can’t begin to construct my own code, my brain just isn’t logical enough for that, I guess. It’s really frustrating, because the computer expert just comes along and makes it look like child’s play, while I don’t even know where to start.

I’m feeling kinda good about myself today, my hair is behaving - that helps. Mr C and I watched the Eurovision together last night, and I got a bit drunk while we were watching. Way to go UK - nil point! I missed my mother a lot while we were watching it because it’s sort of a family tradition that we watch it together. Perhaps we’ll just have to start a new tradition.
