Those pesky warts

Get the cream out! they're flaring up again.

It nearly began again, the 'verruca* war' looked set to flare up, when PJ told Jade a home truth this morning. He asked how she was, and was told that all was well, thanks to an apology from Adele.

PJ was amazed and could not understand why Adele was the one to say sorry. He pointed out to her, that she was the one who was talking about Adele behind her back. It was Jade's turn to look confused, and defended herself by telling him that she would say it to her face.

PJ corrected her by stating the fact that she hadn't done so, last night.

Unable to accept that she was in the wrong, she had another discussion with Adele in the garden which ended up with an edgy Jade spending more time in the diary room.

The talk afterwards, in the garden was of how Jade had twisted the facts. Adele looked shocked as she retold the events to PJ, Sophie and Jonny. PJ reminded her that Jade often says things about behind people's back, things that he has never heard her say to the person in question.

Adele looked sad as she told them how Jade had denied saying "Adele has stabbed me in the back" to Alex. "she has twisted it all around again".

They softened a little towards her, when they considered that maybe Jade drank so much because of her turbulent home life. Jade returned in a much meeker mood and gave her soulmate Adele a hug ...... and they all lived happily ever after.

Jade and Adele retreated to the kitchen to cook the lunch and find solutions. Jade explained that it was PJ who upset her this morning, "he told me I was telling Alex that you were a back-stabber. I'm so not a back-stabber". Adele replied, "I never said you were a back-stabber".

Jade then seemed to remember more about the row, and the reasons why she has spoken abut Adele to Alex, "I did it in a hurt way, but I was going to talk to you, I was going to leave it until I'd calmed down, but you walked in".

As Adele chopped the onions, Jade stated her mind, "I think PJ's a pig". Adele whispered "We know what he's like, just ignore him, just be dead pleasant to people, but know what they're like".

Alex said "I thought whatever he said, was a tactic 'cause he's smart, old PJ".

Adele and Alex both told Jade that "PJ was putting things in peoples minds".

Adele said bitterly, "PJ was smug that we were arguing, and when he heard that it was all sorted, he probably wanted it to kick off again". She told her that "Kate was worried, Jonny and Alex were upset that we were arguing". Jade was pleased to hear, so Adele carried on, "Sophie and Tim were like "don't worry, you'll sort it".

Adele confessed that "it was only me who spoke about you saying 'she's talking about me in there!' and I was really hurt".

Jade told her that she didn't care what the others thought of her, but wanted to stay friends with Adele. It seems Big Brother had been pouring water on the burning embers, by advising Jade to "just carry on being yourself, Jade and go out there and talk with Adele". Jade said that she had gotten some advice in there this morning.
