| 0:13.1 | We began the week rather unpleasantly with Tom and Natasha discussing the possibility of a bit of rumpy-pumpy, followed by an in-depth description of trimming |
| 0:21.0 | Helen's bush. Natasha had to suggest the rumpy and indeed the pumpy, as Tom's first thought |
| 0:26.6 | at being in the house alone with his wife for the first time in ages, was to play on the boy's |
| 0:30.3 | devices. Natasha was far keener that he played on hers. He failed to pick up the hint and suggested |
| 0:36.4 | she watch him play on his device. |
| 0:38.8 | In the end, she basically pulled his trousers down round his ankles and hobbled him upstairs. |
| 0:43.9 | They've decided that rather than using Peggy's money to pay off their mortgage, which is apparently |
| 0:48.6 | crippling them, they're going to buy a Hobbit house for the twins as all children love a den. |
| 0:54.3 | They do, but they are also perfectly happy with a tablecloth over two deck chairs, |
| 0:59.1 | which is what I had at Grandma Freeman's and it may be very happy, thank you very much. |
| 1:03.4 | Whereas the one they'll get will be all rustic smoked oak, little pops of dried flowers |

| 1:16.0 | very expensive Wendy House when she wanted to get away from them as she knew it was the one place |
| 1:20.1 | they would never ever go. Total waste of money and therefore exactly the kind of thing they would |
| 1:25.9 | buy. It will be, no doubt, Instagrammable. |
| 1:29.9 | They will also mean about Lee's climbing frame that he built for the boys. I would imagine Lee got |
| 1:35.2 | it from IKEA. It is severely on the wonk and he used the Alan keys like tiny hammers. |
| 1:41.3 | More cricket shenanigans and Lily at her absolute worst, rather reminiscent of Kate |
| 1:46.0 | at hers, huffing about in the shop and demanding that Rex hate joy like fifth year girls. |
| 1:52.4 | Let's all not speak to her. Nicola, Nicola, we're not speaking to Rachel, okay? Tell Becky. |
