I think she would have been given a clothing allowance as soon as they knew her back ground (as would anyone else who needed it) - and has been told to buy a cocktail dress and some good wet weather gear, strurdy boots, and work clothes etc.  And I think everyone will have been given a list of things they needed - like hiking boots, wellies, wet weather gear etc don't you?<br/><br/>I thought also if there are things they found they needed or wanted  down the line - they could mention them in their video diaries and get a reply back - what do you think?  In 6 months there might be quite a bit of things.<br/><br/>I also wondered if the Men should be in on the Houskeeper's explaination of everything - partly from the point of view that they want to know what is going on so they are in control of it, and perhaps partly curiousity.  Perhaps it can some up at dinner and the men can agree together they want 'in'  so that they know what is going on and the girls get a sense of being supervised - maybe the men have a bonding billiard game after the girls have gone to bed and they talk about it then?<br/><br/>what do you guys think?
