OK yes i am one of a million or so suckers who actually watch this reality shows sometimes! But this one Celebrity Apprentice has really stuck.... The other night i was yelling at the bloody TV and arguing . There is a brilliant write up about each episode if you missed any and all the In's and outs of who was bitchy to who  *ahem*  . all   HERE 

I new i would watch it as soon as i saw the add come on some months ago . After knowing who would be on it i said yep i shall be watching it for sure!


So OK i admit i was an 80's fan of {gawd i am old i know} The Uncanny x-men ~ Brian Mannix lol  well way back then i thought woar he's a looker (bucket now please)
Mind you he hardly said a word the whole time he was on it. No wonder he got fired last week!!!


Pru Macsween has always been a favourite of mine ~ I use to watch her give it all on {Beauty and the Beast} ages ago remember the one with Stan Zemanek (R.I.P)

Love watching Dawn Fraser get fired up with the others her quote "No One tells me what to do " I will slap then silly lol.


yes they are all raising money for their chosen charity and it's a wonderful idea.

Not sure what to think of Jeff fenech ~ I sort of think he is a tool (he thinks he's always correct never wrong it's his way or bugger i need attention and i'm not getting any . I better make a scene and walk out of the board room then the camera will be on just me  *sigh*  PLEASE!!!

Love the Boss Mr Bouris  Bit of a looker i say  haha..........  


"SO WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN IN THE BOARDROOM" ?

Things your Burglar wont tell you ............

1.   Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator.

2.   Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.

3.  Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste .. And taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.

4.   Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.


5.   If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don't let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it's set. That makes it too easy.

6.  A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom-and your jewelry. It's not a bad idea to putmotion detectors up there too.

7.  It's raining, you're fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable. But understand this: I don't take a day off because of bad weather.

8.  I always knock first. If you answer, I'll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. 

9. . Do you really think I won't look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet.

10.  Here's a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids' rooms.

11.  You're right: I won't have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it's not bolted down, I'll take it with me.

12.   A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the bestalarm system. If you're reluctant to leave your TV on while you're out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find it at faketv..com.)8 MORE THINGS A BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU:




13.   Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook.

14.  The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors.

15.   I'll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he'll stop what he's doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn't hear it again, he'll just go back to what he was doing. It's human nature.

16  . I'm not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it?

17.   I love looking in your windows. I'm looking for signs that you're home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I'd like. I'll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets.

18  DON"T announce your holiday on your Facebook page. It's easier than you think to look up your address.

19.  To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it's an invitation.

20.   If you don't answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.
