And he reckons housekeeping must have binned it when they did a sweep of his room. It was a collectible apparently worth quite a bit. So he's asking for a full refund. What shall I tell him? Is this for real Yeah, he's in the bar. I managed to wangle him unlimited coffee on the house. Oh good. well, so it started. Well, no, not really. As far as I'm concerned, a customer has made a complaint you've dealt with that complaint. There's no issue here. No, but what am I actually saying to him though? Help me out, Ian, I'm new here. You know this is my first time on reception. I'm not across all of our refund policies. Th ask somebody who is Yes That is what I am doing. Wait, who's not me, sorry.

Sorry, else, I'll stop fussing. You've been a star with this, as ever? Happy to help? Well, you shouldn't have to. It should be Henry here with the scraper and the paint brush. but honestly, if he bends my ear one more time about how awful it is sharing with his little brother Not a fan Under statement of the century, I have to get this decorating done at some point. He just pull his finger out, he could be master of his own destiny, but no, there's always Kalil orkira to entertain. Well, I suppose wallpaper in your little brotherers's room isn't a teenager's idea of a fun weekend. No, so we're stuck doing it instead All right, here, like She said tellellya Kira is doing work experience with me? No, That's fantastic. Isn't it? Yeah, Henry had said that she wasn't keen on working at AMide. No. And she came to see me herself to organise it. Not sure I would have done that at her age. She's certainly her mother's daughter. She certainly is. And rewilding needs some young blood Excuse me, you're still young. I don't feel it, which you my backachche and bloating. Eric's not helping. Every other night there's a message with a photo of a beautiful sunset. I used to love it, but now it's like he's robbing it in your face. Well none of it's intentional. and I know he's going to be brilliant later on. But right now he's pretty carefree. Oh'll ignore me. Is that? What? It is, it's that SUV again. Sorry, Cast to give me a sec. No, sure. N not even convinced they live on the green A bit a touch up D't expect you hope? There's a week off from the battling Blls. Fair enough What you doing then? Just some work. I didnn't want to be disturbed. Mum and dad are having Sar in overva, so today is an opportunity not to be wasted. Oh, Tom Oh yeah, beautiful, isn't it? Yes, beautiful. I always think that when looking at a computer generated image of a greenhouse. It's not just any greenhouse though. Climate control, blah blah blah, I've heard it before several times. And you know my opinion. It's no less financially viable than Helen's megap parlor. Oh, stop it, Tom. We both know what Helen is looking at is nothing like a megap parlour. might as well be I thought you and Helen had it all out last week. Now that we're all moving forward in perfect harmony. We agreed to give each other a fair crack of the whip. That's why we've both got this pitch in a couple of weeks, and it might be nice if I had some support. You know I'm a business womoman first, and you wouldn't change that. No, off course I wouldn't It's just you seem to be a bit inconsistent about splashing the cash. What's that supposed to mean? A load of boxes arrived earlier. Oh, brilliant. Is it? What happened to watching our spending? Where are the boxes? In the kitchen? Those boxes are an investment. In what? The botanicals. The botanicals. Tom, I've told you about it. The new business. What? Or at least I tried to tell you It's a beauty range I'm interested in launching. The headline is all the ingredients in the lotions and potions will have been grown on Bridge Farm I want to make some tester products to see if it's viable I've even been in touch with some my old colleagues in cosmetics. And they've agreed to give me some feedback Anything You were serious about this then? Deadly. I'm gonna to do this, Tom with or without your support. Oh A here for a while? Yeah, sorry.

Well, I've got a surprise for you. first piece in place. Kirstie, is that more paper upside down? U that's the way you decided it was earlier. Did I? Oh see I think we must have laid it out the wrong way. Well, at least it was only one piece. Let's give it another go c that. Oh sorry Oh I'm a liability No, no you're not.'re not She said out of respect for the pregnant woman. I'm not having you blame this on baby brain. Wll cut things off. I'm sure we can just paint over that tair so it all matches. Are you sure? How's a kid? I've done it before And Jack's not even going to notice. Fair enough What's going on this wall anyway? You'll have to ask Jack. There's some framed prints and a crate upstairs or maybe those. Superheroes? what else. Yeah, it's nice his interests aren't changing too much for now. yeah, exactly Japtain Bancy Hasett Con then. Sorry? Well the sci fi thing at Grey Gables. Kate was saying it's been a bit nuts. Oh yeah. He doesn't think it's worth checking out most celebs apparently. A see. One of the families from school is taking him to one in Birmingham over the summer. So Jack's better off using this weekend to design his wall Exactly. We' play video games Wonder if my Minnie Miller will be a gamer? Were you?? Beg my dad for a game boy. but I think I was trying to fit in with everyone else more than anything. Well, if Minnie Miller wants to be a gamer, then Jack's going to be a very enthusiastic mentor. He'll be out in the big wide world by then. Oh he come back, seeee his old mum if not Jack then Sarah and Nova. the amount of time they spend on Tom's tablet? Yeah, maybe. Have you told Tom?

The K one robot is in one piece and has been returned to its rightful owner. So no re unnecessary? No. Brad spotted it in time and fixed the model before we gave it back to Mrter Wever lookook kid I should never have spoken to you like that earlier. It was totally unprofessional.

Okay, well how was your time away from this place? I took Xander to Philersam you know the Indie Mexican place just up from the cathedral? Yes. Xander always feels so grown up when we eat there. Anyway, we were passing the cathedral coffee shop and There was Brian right by the window with his paper. and I found myself bustling Xander past making sure they didn't see each other. Oh, Ian. What did I say? Don't make Xander a pawn in this. Look I know it's not great, but I'm with Adam in this How is Adam? Who knows I'm scared to ask. after Friday's bust up, with Brian seriously kit. I mean, I thought it was bad before, but he left some tabs open last night in the laptop. I know I shouldn't have looked. And property pages, small holdings, Anglesy, Norfolk, Cy down even.

I mean, I don't think he's serious, not really just I don't like seeing them like this All got a bit obsessive? He keeps saying it's about Xander. I'm not convinced It's all so sad. It's more than that kid This isn't sustainable. At this rate Adam's going to burn himself out. Look, I'm sorry, but It's just the way I say it. This is all in Brian I'm gonna to cook is slur as pork to Madam's taste. If I start now we should be eating by eight. I'm not sure I'm in the mood for a romantic dinner.
