So that I can stop thinking about BB once and for all, can anyone answer me some basic q's?
Do you ever see them washing clothes or changing their bedding? Do they have a washing machine, or is it all taken away to a laundry? I have never seen sheets drying, or any washing except minor handwashing.
Do they get locked in the lounge every time something changes? Like how does the shopping arrive? Do they see ther person who trims privet-man hedge in nowhere?
Why is that child's pink bike there and has it ever moved or been used?
Do they have any privacy in the bathroom / toilet wahtsoever? have we ever seen anyone changing a tampon?
And have we ever heard a housemate discuss period pains etc as people do in RL?
Thank you!

they wash their own clothes
the bedding gets done for them, they leave it in the storeroom and collect fresh stuff from there as well. don't know how often though
shopping, ditto. gets left in the storeroom and they are told when they can collect it
when house maintenance need to be done they are sent to bedroom and shutters go down so they can't see out
kid's bike - can't remember exactly, was left over from a task very early on. someone will remember what
cameras are on all the time and everywhere but they have 'privacy' from other housemates when they go to loo if they want it. obviously the girls still have their periods and change their tanpons or whatever but bb does not broadcast anything like that. there's nowhere in the house that hasn't got cameras
on some occasions i've heard the girsl discuss periods, e,g when they're all on toegther or one of them has pmt or whateber, but again, bb keeps somethings 'private' from the viewing public

Where do they dry and iron their washing? i've never seen it festooned on radiators.

Perhaps that is because so many of the items of clothing are so miniscule.

The bike was from a task after which they all got presents and two people had to chose who to give each box/present to. Nikki got the pink bike.

I wondered that about the bike, though I did see Mikey using it as a weight for his arms. I thought they were locked in the bedroom when something in the house changes as it has a screen and lockable door but an attached bathroom. And I though they all had to do their own laundry by hand using a dolly board and mangle, but, unlike previous years where we've seen the housemates doing these laborious tasks, the last few series' hasn't shown it at all, possibly because it's boring when there are stage managed arguments and bitching to be shown instead.

With regards to the toilet habits, you never see them take a proper dump, as in sit there for 30 minutes picking their noses (c'mon, we all do it! ) I always wondered about the period thing but someone at work suggested that the girls could take the pill without a break between months, but surely they can't all be on the pill?? And how come none of them ever have accidents with the bedsheets?

Do you remember in BB2 when Dean went into the toilet for a hand shandy? The muppet thought that because the camera was directly above the toilet he could hide under his duvet and knock one out, though what he was doing was plain for everyone to see, and they even showed that clip when he came out and with his mum in the audience too! How embarrassing!

The bike was part of the big brotherhood task at the start of the show (where house members were recruited by lisa and shabaz and therefore got their suitcase back, immunity from nomination and a beret.) Members of the big brotherhood had to give non members a mysetery wrapped present - the bike was one of the presents. One of the presents was to become a member of the big brotherhood and I think Sezer got it. very sad i am.

seen them washing clothes in bath and sink.

bedding is done once a week - usually see them sat on mattresses on thurs or fri show

my big question though is aisyleynes undies - after her run in with that irish bloke (whos name I forgot) in the bathroom, she made a big thing that all she had was thongs and only one pair of pants. yet in weeks since she has ditched the thongs. So has/does BB provide extra clothing when we're not watching?
