Not so long ago we were bemoaning the fact when you asked people what they wanted to ‘be’ their answer was ‘famous’ but famous for apparently nothing. Some could narrow it down to being famous as a singer or an actress but wanted to be famous today and none of that boring climbing the ladder part.
Well, wanting to be famous seems to have gone the by and we are now being urged to ‘live the dream’.
On winning Celebrity Big Brother, Chantelle (actually a non-celebrity at the time, put in by the producers as a twist) was paraded down the winner's catwalk with her mother shouting from the sidelines 'live the dream!'.
"What are you going to do?", quizzed Davina McCall in the winner's interview.
"Live the dream" squelled Chantelle. "I'm living the dream!"
I wish someone would tell me what the dream is. It is obviously definitive as it is the dream not a dream and does it have to involve Davina McCall? Please God no.
As someone who dreams vividly, I often wake up and can’t quite shake the feeling it really happened. It doesn’t matter how bizarre the dream has been there’s always that niggle through the day that something that felt so real must have happened, even if it was marrying Nasser Hussain in the village hall.
One dream that seemed so utterly real on waking was that one of my best friends had an affair with Rolf Harris and started wearing a denim jacket with ‘Rolf’ written across the back in rhinestones. I take it this isn’t the dream she is planning on living though worryingly she has moved to Australia…
So if someone has had the dream and could give me the heads up I’d be most grateful.

why does the link for Nasser point to the Sun's article on Davina?
totally agree with you though

Hmm, I really don't know what the dream could be, but if it involves appearing on Big Brother and having to meet Davina McCall in person, then I'm jolly glad I'm not living it.

I think Rolf Harris once checked me out whilst driving past me on Putney Heath one time...

Oh - I seem to have commented in the wrong blog! Oops! Umm - see the blog below for reference!

Oh - actually - no I haven't made a mistake after all, apart from thinking that I had done and commenting on it. I'm so silly.

Well she's given out a book called Living The Dream so maybe the answer's in there. Not that I'm intending to buy it to find out.
Anyway, you've been tagged. See my blog for more info :-)

It could be that the dream is actually a nightmare and she's being ironic??????
Nah! God knows what it is!
