But Mummy...
A bedtime story is surely not a bedtime story unless it's read out loud*.
Good night, children.
*I'll post the text version tomorrow.

Those Responsible
Yes! I have an accomplice once again!
The Poll
Bollocks to the poll! It's finished!
The Concept
Welcome to the home of Big Blogger 2007. For the next eight weeks or so we will be watching (well, reading) the housemates as they complete their tasks, eake out a meagre existence, and do everything in their power to convince you, the blogging public, that they should be the ones to win the title of Big Blogger 2007. Who will win? You decide...
(I could swear I've heard that before somewhere.)Click on this link if you require any further clarification. And in case anyone is still utterly confused, here are The Rules.
The Housemates
Check out all the
freaky weirdosbeautiful specimens we've caged up just for you - and all in the name of entertainment too!
And the newbies too:
The House
It's missing a library, a nail salon and a coffee bar, but other than that it's a design masterpiece. You lucky people!
The Diary Room
Little Blogger AKA Minxy is
always aboutnowhere to be seen, and therefore she won't do you a fantastic line in body stockings. Medium-sized Blogger IS there however and he has the world record for making rollies. So GO! NOW!! Do it, before it's too late!A Concise History

If you love Big Blogger in an almost entirely non-physical way then be a good sort and whack one of these attractive Big Blogger-themed thingies into your sidebar.
Our Links
Huge thanks go to Lucy Pepper for her wonderful illustrations.
Plus, even though he's not blogging anymore, let's remember Watski for coming up with this godawful idea in the first place.
AND, if you've got 300 years spare time on your hands you could use it to re-read the whole of the original 2005 Big Blogger event. Go on, I dare you.
The only other place we should really link to is the official BIG BROTHER website. After all, they're the ones who bought the rights to the concept in the first place; we're just adjusting it for our own purposes. I'm sure they'll understand.
So if you want intellectual stimulation and laughs-a-plenty, stay right where you are. However, if you want boredom, drudgery and maybe some tits and arse, go there instead.
I know where I'm going. Okay, see you later...
Legal Mumbo-Jumbo
The idea may not be original but everything else on here is of our own making and 100% original. So don't go borrowing unless A) you link back to us, or B) you ask us really really nicely beforehand.

Dammit girl, you've even got the 'bedtime story voice' down to a tee.

Well, telling bedtime stories is one of my favouritest things ever, and I'm about to try and make a living as (amongst other things) a storyteller as well as a writer of children's fiction...
...so this task had Clare written all over it...
Posted by: Clare | Wednesday, 04 July 2007 at 18:35
And may I also say that it's got task winner written all over it. You've definately got my vote this week.
Oops.

Oh bedshaped, don't forget that we are back to voting to evict.
An excellent story, and very nice to hear it read. Well done.

Pierre L - there is a slim chance that may have been Bedshaped's point!
Thanks Clare - feel quite snoozy now...nn
