0:00:03 > 0:00:06Milford Haven on the Pembrokeshire coast.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08And this is the Mount Estate.

0:00:08 > 0:00:12For the last year we've been following the lives of the people who live here.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14It's typical of the council estates

0:00:14 > 0:00:16which were built during the 60s and 70s.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19They all followed an American design,

0:00:19 > 0:00:21which meant roads were kept to perimeters

0:00:21 > 0:00:25and homes were facing shared areas with no individual gardens.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35This week Simone goes for her job interview.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37It seems a good company and I like what they do

0:00:37 > 0:00:40so fingers crossed in the future it'll be all right.

0:00:40 > 0:00:45Dai Jones' five-year-old granddaughter hits the road.

0:00:45 > 0:00:50She's a proper Jones now, she brought the police home.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54And Jo tries to deal with her chronic alcoholism.

0:01:05 > 0:01:10The Mount was built in the early 1970s but the town of Milford Haven

0:01:10 > 0:01:14has a much older history and a lot of it is to do with the sea.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21It's Pembrokeshire Fish Week

0:01:21 > 0:01:25and in Milford Haven the annual festival is a reminder of the days

0:01:25 > 0:01:28when this harbour served a fleet of more than 200 fishing boats.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Hi, it's me, love, fish week has just started this minute.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Jane from The Mount is going to get a pet portrait taken

0:01:38 > 0:01:40of her dog Tiggy.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Tiggy is very photogenic -

0:01:41 > 0:01:44a few months ago Jane won £100

0:01:44 > 0:01:48for a photo of Tiggy published in a national magazine.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Sit. Sit.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54TOY SQUEAKS

0:01:56 > 0:01:59I think I'll do me face up next year if you're here

0:01:59 > 0:02:02and I'll have a photo taken with her I think.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05All right, look at that, that's good, isn't it?

0:02:07 > 0:02:10We're going to have a hard job choosing.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16On The Mount, Milford Haven's maritime history

0:02:16 > 0:02:18is remembered in other ways too.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23This is the home of Eurof and Gina.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Eurof works at the local oil refinery

0:02:28 > 0:02:32but he's off at the moment with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34He's keen to get back to work

0:02:34 > 0:02:38but being at home has meant lots of time to spend on his hobby.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40It's really nice, nice and shiny.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43It does show the work that's gone into it

0:02:43 > 0:02:47and um, here we are.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Here we are.- Thank you.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Bringing you the two o'clock tea.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56What are you doing?

0:02:56 > 0:03:00You've got the rigging that comes up to foremast table

0:03:00 > 0:03:03which the men used to climb up.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06810 men on board ship

0:03:06 > 0:03:11and the average man was five foot five.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- They weren't very tall then, were they?- Nope.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21- Mind, he wasn't very big, was he, Nelson?- Nope.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24No, he wasn't.

0:03:25 > 0:03:2918 years ago Eurof and Gina were hoping for a council house,

0:03:29 > 0:03:32not necessarily on The Mount.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35We had the five children at home with us then,

0:03:35 > 0:03:40so we were seven to house, it was quite a large family to find

0:03:40 > 0:03:44accommodation for and she said, I haven't got a four bedroom house

0:03:44 > 0:03:48but with the screens you could manage and we saw where it was,

0:03:48 > 0:03:52we thought, "Oh, it's up The Mount, I don't want to go up The Mount,

0:03:52 > 0:03:55"I've heard stories about The Mount."

0:03:55 > 0:03:57So he said, "Well, we'll have to go and look at it

0:03:57 > 0:04:02"because if we don't look we could end up at the back of the queue again."

0:04:03 > 0:04:07So all right, it was a house that we could literally just move in to

0:04:07 > 0:04:12and he said, "Wwhat do you think?" It seemed quite quiet up here

0:04:12 > 0:04:15so I said, "Well, we can always put in for a swap

0:04:15 > 0:04:19"if we don't like it," but 18 years on we're still here.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23We're lucky cos we have got a post office here with Alison and Steve.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Unless it closes.

0:04:25 > 0:04:31- No, we're not going to let that close. Good Lord!- Let's hope not.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33No, you got to fight for things like that.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39There is a Mount Association here

0:04:39 > 0:04:43but it doesn't seem to reach out to everyone, does it?

0:04:43 > 0:04:45No. No.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49I don't know what happened, we used to have little newsletters round.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53The grapevine, I used to call it and that used to come round, didn't it?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Not for a long time. - No, they stopped doing that.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03The Resource Centre is the only communal meeting place

0:05:03 > 0:05:04left on the estate.

0:05:07 > 0:05:1217-year-old Sammy has popped in to see some friends and their new baby.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13She's unemployed.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18I haven't really been looking.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22I haven't really been looking really, I'm just

0:05:22 > 0:05:27coming down here and doing bits and bobs and same old usual every day.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31But then if I really wanted a job I'd just go down the Job Centre

0:05:31 > 0:05:35and get one there or look on the internet or summat.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38She lives with her fiance, Flanders, and his family.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42He proposed nearly a year ago.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45On my birthday in the bedroom!

0:05:45 > 0:05:48He went on his hands and knees and said, "Will you marry?"

0:05:48 > 0:05:51And I said yeah and that was it!

0:05:51 > 0:05:55And then he put the ring on and I just fell asleep!

0:05:58 > 0:06:01In the woods below The Mount,

0:06:01 > 0:06:07the Resource Centre runs training schemes for the unemployed and for young people.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Flanders and Sammy are both volunteers.

0:06:18 > 0:06:2112-year-old Cameron has a placement

0:06:21 > 0:06:25on the woodland scheme two days a week. He'd rather be here than at school.

0:06:25 > 0:06:32- What we doing with the logs? - I dunno.- The charcoal burner.

0:06:32 > 0:06:38Keeps me out of trouble. I used to always get in trouble.

0:06:38 > 0:06:43- What we doing now, then?- Well, I'm going to the farm.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Can I come?- You can't.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I bet you any money he'll say yeah. I bet he'll say yeah.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Whatever.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56She just argues with me every single day.

0:06:56 > 0:07:01- He's my cousin, my favourite cousin. - Don't kiss me on camera, mate!

0:07:01 > 0:07:06I went to loads of schools but I got kicked out of all of them and then

0:07:06 > 0:07:10I just started this then, but then I got told if I really wanted to

0:07:10 > 0:07:13go back to college to do hair and beauty

0:07:13 > 0:07:16I could go back to college and do hair and beauty.

0:07:16 > 0:07:22I go to school for like three days and I'm down here for two days.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27You're out and about here more than you're in the classes

0:07:27 > 0:07:29cos it does get boring in school

0:07:29 > 0:07:32and then you just want to play up more, don't you?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34That's what I was doing when I was in school.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58This is Jo, a year ago when we first met her.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00She's an alcoholic whose children are in care

0:08:00 > 0:08:04but she's determined to get over her drinking problem.

0:08:04 > 0:08:09I'm keeping this diary to make sure that they know how much I'm drinking and how much I've cut down,

0:08:09 > 0:08:11cos I have cut down loads,

0:08:11 > 0:08:15cos I want my children and that's how it's going to work.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Ten months later.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Although a residential rehabilitation programme was discussed,

0:08:20 > 0:08:25it hasn't happened, so Jo's taken matters into her own hands.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27With the help of her new boyfriend,

0:08:27 > 0:08:29she's gone nine days without a drink.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36That's not bad, that. It's all right, like, that.

0:08:38 > 0:08:43They told me, end of May, beginning of June they'd send me to rehab.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46And they haven't done no good to me whatsoever.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50They owe me two weeks in Cardiff and 16 weeks in Bridgend.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Since then I couldn't wait any longer.

0:08:57 > 0:09:02So I've locked myself into a friend's house

0:09:02 > 0:09:06and I did nine days without alcohol,

0:09:06 > 0:09:11without anything, without any help whatsoever and I feel brilliant.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14I have had the odd drink today

0:09:14 > 0:09:19because I've been stressed out with my mother and my children but I'm OK.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20I'm doing all right.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Jo's going to see her caseworkers at Prism,

0:09:24 > 0:09:27a local organisation that works with alcoholics.

0:09:27 > 0:09:33I did nine days all by myself without any medication or anybody else's help

0:09:33 > 0:09:37and I said I wasn't going to be in rehab over Christmas.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42Hopefully I'll get to see the kids a lot more and, yeah,

0:09:42 > 0:09:45it's not really a problem with me any more.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49It helps with your boyfriend too, he's not drinking.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53And I'm quite content to sit around with him and not get drunk.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03HORN BEEPS

0:10:05 > 0:10:09She's going to tell the caseworkers that she thinks she's doing quite well now.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19Thank you!

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Ta-ra.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26He did mention that any downfall I might have might lead me back to drinking heavy.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30But I'm in control of it.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33As far as I'm concerned it's all down to me now.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37As long as I've got my goals to carry on which is my children and...

0:10:37 > 0:10:39You know, I'll be all right then.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Things are looking up for Jane's daughter, Simone.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Over the last three months she's applied for dozens of jobs locally

0:10:55 > 0:10:59with no success, but now at last she's got an interview.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08Erm, it's a telesales associate... or executive. It's one of them.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12And it's to do with, basically you're working for a magazine

0:11:12 > 0:11:16that sells advertising space to different companies.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18She's not pinning all her hopes on this, though.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22She's applying for a job in Cumbria where her boyfriend Pete lives.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26But that'd mean moving away from her mother who's recovering from a heart attack she had seven months ago.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29And then I sat down with her and I was like,

0:11:29 > 0:11:35"If something does turn up in Cumbria are you actually all right with me going?"

0:11:35 > 0:11:38And she was like, "Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be?"

0:11:38 > 0:11:41And I said, "Well, you don't seem to be talking a lot about it."

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Part of me actually thinks she'd rather me be further away,

0:11:46 > 0:11:49because in a way then I'm not bossing her around.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Two - I'm not nicking her space.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55And she likes her personal space, she's the same as me.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58And three is kind of, she's used to that now

0:11:58 > 0:12:01and she's not used to me actually being at home.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06And then there's part of me that's kind of worried that the whole reason

0:12:06 > 0:12:11she's doing that is she's just happy to go back to the way she was.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15I've already said to her that her smoking's got bad again and her eating's got bad again

0:12:15 > 0:12:20and we had again another massive bust-up the other week.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26- See you later.- I'll see you later on then. Good luck. - Okey-dokey, thank you.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Don't be nervous.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Yeah, it seemed really nice. They seemed lovely.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46It's going to be a weird situation cos obviously

0:12:46 > 0:12:51I've got the other interview as well but it seems a good company and I like what they do,

0:12:51 > 0:12:54so fingers crossed in the future, it'll be all right.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03Roughly 70% of adults living on The Mount are unemployed.

0:13:03 > 0:13:08For a few of them, alcohol addiction is a big problem.

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Lee is one of these people.

0:13:09 > 0:13:14He's been unemployed for 14 years and this is a typical day for him.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18He's been desperately trying to get on a home detox programme.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Welcome...

0:13:22 > 0:13:24LOUD MUSIC PLAYS

0:13:26 > 0:13:31The local health board claim that nobody is presently waiting for a home detox programme.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34And that waiting times would not exceed two to four weeks.

0:13:36 > 0:13:41Yeah, it's been a typical day for us.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Started to drink at 9 o'clock this morning.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46FRIEND SINGS ALONG TO MUSIC

0:13:49 > 0:13:52At the moment I can't see an end to it.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54I want to end by obviously not dying.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59I want to end drinking so I can get back to normal.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01That's all I know.

0:14:14 > 0:14:20The daily routine at Stacey's house starts with the arrival of her niece, Megan.

0:14:20 > 0:14:25Stacey and her husband, Roger are in the minority on the estate as they both work.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Do that again!

0:14:31 > 0:14:36Their two boys are particularly excited this morning cos it's the last day of term.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Tomorrow the summer holidays start.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41All right, let's go.

0:14:42 > 0:14:48Stacey doesn't drive so she walks the children to school every morning.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50A journey of two miles there and back.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54At midday she does it again to help with the lunchtime supervision.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58And later on she make the trip a third time to bring the children home again.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03She deserves a bit of a sit down.

0:15:05 > 0:15:10The family have booked a holiday in a resort hotel in Turkey later on in the summer.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- That slide then you got to buy your own rubber rings...- No.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16- ..or do they supply them? - They supply them.

0:15:16 > 0:15:21- So you've got the multi-lane slide...- Yeah.- ..which is that one.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25- You've got the tube slide... Tube slides...- Right, yeah.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29That's the ones you can use the rubber dinghies and everything with.

0:15:37 > 0:15:42Their neighbour, Dai Jones, won't be going away this year as he's recovering from a stroke,

0:15:42 > 0:15:45though he's been suffering from ill-health for years.

0:15:45 > 0:15:51But I've been on the mend now for something like 12 years!

0:15:53 > 0:15:54So it's a slow process.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01This is Di's five-year-old granddaughter, Brooke.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04And she likes nothing better than riding about on granddad's mobility scooter.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08Unfortunately that's illegal.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15My granddaughter was out on my bug and she got reported for whatever reason.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23And the police called to her. And they went to talk to her.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27And as they got to her, she pressed the lever and took off.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31And the police had to run after her.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36I was laughing cos they reckon it turned into a full high-speed pursuit.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42She took off and she came straight back here.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45She doesn't know that she had to stop for the police!

0:16:46 > 0:16:49They saw the funny side of it, mind. Fair play.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I can't understand why she can't ride on it.

0:16:52 > 0:16:57Most of the kids round here, they've got quads, they've got little electric Jeeps.

0:16:58 > 0:17:05Most of them faster than that. But according to Police, the quads and Jeeps and all are toys,

0:17:05 > 0:17:09and this isn't classed as a toy.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11So...never mind,

0:17:11 > 0:17:16I'll convert it into a little go-kart or something for her.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19I'll turn it into a toy.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35Over at Eurof and Gina's, Gina keeps herself busy with cooking, knitting and drawing.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39But eight months after the injury to his Achilles tendon,

0:17:39 > 0:17:43Eurof is still off work, and he's had enough of being at home all day.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47- I've been going back and forth to the gym...- Yeah.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52..and I'm getting a lot better.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55I've got control of my shoulders now,

0:17:55 > 0:17:59so I'm going to the hospital again for physio.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03Yeah, so how does that make you feel about work?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Well, I may go back, I don't know yet.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Depends how I get on with the physio

0:18:07 > 0:18:10up at the hospital.

0:18:10 > 0:18:15Mentally, I don't think you're ready to just retire and be home cos

0:18:15 > 0:18:20- it gets on your nerves when you're here all day, every day, doesn't it? - Yeah, sometimes.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22In other words, I do.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Jo's back drinking with her friend Lee.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35They both want help for their addictions

0:18:35 > 0:18:39but statistics show that they could be waiting for two years.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Gotta have a bit of squash with it.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Cos it's a bit harsh when you drink it,

0:18:48 > 0:18:52- it just kills the taste, sweetens it up a bit.- Takes the edge off it.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56- Yeah, cos it is bloomin' horrible, really. - Bloomin'! Bloomin' horrible.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57I don't want to swear.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59White cider - I'd have about six litres a day.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- You usually drink brown cider, don't you?- Sometimes, I mix and match.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Which is like 5.3 or something.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09That's 11 units for a bottle of Strongbow. It's 22...

0:19:09 > 0:19:1522.5 in one bottle of three litres, white cider.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19- But the three litre gets your head back to normal, like. - Which is 5.28 pints.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20Thank you very much.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23They said to me, "How many units do you drink a week?"

0:19:23 > 0:19:27And when I first started to go to Prism, it was over 330-odd.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31Safe-level, not even safe, but you've got to get down to

0:19:31 > 0:19:36150 a week before they can detox you and I got down to 170 the last time.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Do you actually keep your drink diary?- Yeah.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41I was doing it for a while but I found I was getting

0:19:41 > 0:19:46so much to the point I was doing every little unit...

0:19:46 > 0:19:52measuring a half cup then thinking hang on, I need a half-pint glass, so I know where I'm at.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56And I found I just got worse then as I was trying to keep track of it.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Cos I was having proper measurements. Oh, my God!- Dodgy, I know.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03I thought, this is not right so I.... It was awful.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07My partner died in January. She took an accidental overdose of morphine.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Oh, my goodness.- Yeah, yeah.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- She was only 30 as well.- Who, Emma? - Yeah, yeah, died.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16She was in that much pain with her ankle and that...

0:20:16 > 0:20:19She had arthritis, her body was crippling up on her.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23And she's had other problems that I don't want to go into.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25She got depressed a little bit.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29She took some extra medicine and died in her sleep.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34I got a young son. He lives with his nan down the bottom.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Nan and stepdaughter. They're both down with their nan.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Cos I'm a drinker I won't go for rights cos I don't reckon

0:20:40 > 0:20:43I should have rights if I'm on the...all the time.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45I've never worked since I moved to Milford.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47I used to work when I lived in Merthyr.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49That's going back to the 1990s.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53My dad, he's dead as well.

0:20:53 > 0:20:54He died of alcoholism.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57Yep.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01I moved down for my dad but me and him used to drink all the time.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04I watched him die in hospital as well.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06He went green in all his body and it was game over.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10- That must have been awful.- I had to suffer for a week watching him die

0:21:10 > 0:21:12and I couldn't do nothing about it.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Shortly after filming, Lee collapsed

0:21:15 > 0:21:18and was rushed into hospital with alcohol-related problems.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Jo continues her struggle with alcoholism.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Stacey's taken the two boys to visit her father in Kent

0:21:39 > 0:21:43for a fortnight and while they're away, Roger's going to be busy.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50Plan this week - I've taken the skirting board off earlier

0:21:50 > 0:21:53and a new skirting board coming tomorrow. And a dado rail.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Stripping this.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00A dado rail and a skirting board for the dining room in the outhouse.

0:22:00 > 0:22:05Carpets and lino coming a week Saturday.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15I've got to say, the best thing about the last week -

0:22:15 > 0:22:17I can watch what I like on telly.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23This is what the room was designed on - to match these curtains.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Find out now.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Yeah, they're needed, aren't they?

0:22:35 > 0:22:39She said it was purple. Oh, there's purple in it. Yeah, purple.

0:22:39 > 0:22:40Black.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Then that's...

0:22:44 > 0:22:49silvery. Matches... yeah. She's clever, ain't she?!

0:23:02 > 0:23:06There's a celebration on the Mount tonight. Sammy's 18th birthday.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09They'll all be off to the pub soon, but first,

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Sammy's got something she wants everyone to see.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14You want to see my balloon! I love my balloon.

0:23:14 > 0:23:15Have you see my balloon?

0:23:15 > 0:23:19Carla, go and get my balloon from the living room.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Ah, my balloon's stunning. - I saw it. It's big.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23- It is, isn't it?!- I haven't seen it.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30No!

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Get Shelly-Ann and Jess and Kirsty and Sammy!

0:23:34 > 0:23:35Carla!

0:23:38 > 0:23:44Also invited to the party is Sammy's future mother-in-law, Sarah Brown.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49May as well just say, look, we're one big family.

0:23:51 > 0:23:52It's like one big family.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Can I ask what you're doing?! Can I ask what you're doing?!

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Even if I won the lottery, I would never ever leave them.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02We'll slowly walk down!

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Make sure you close the door and keep the dogs in!

0:24:15 > 0:24:16# Don't tell my heart

0:24:16 > 0:24:18# My achy breaky heart

0:24:18 > 0:24:20# I just don't think he'd understand... #

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Everyone agrees. The party's a great success.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Stacey's back from Kent

0:24:37 > 0:24:41and Roger awaits her verdict on all his hard work.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Ah, he's done a wonderful job, hasn't he?

0:24:43 > 0:24:44It's really good.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47He worked hard while we were away, he really did.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50It's like a revamped house!

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Completely revamped.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54It's lovely.

0:24:54 > 0:24:59We're going to Turkey. We're going for 14 nights.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03So it's a water park we're going to.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07It's called Splashes, a new complex. It's only been open a few months.

0:25:09 > 0:25:14We've normally arranged it about every two years.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18Sometimes we have left it a bit longer.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20We went two years ago and we went to Turkey then.

0:25:20 > 0:25:21We went to a holiday village.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Iron and the hairdryer.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Can't wait! Counting down.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40Hello, trouble!

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Brook's now on two wheels after being banned

0:25:42 > 0:25:45from riding on the mobility scooter.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49Oh, she's a character anyway.

0:25:49 > 0:25:55The trouble is how do you explain to a five-year-old

0:25:55 > 0:25:58that she's not allowed to go on it any more, you know?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00What have we got out here?

0:26:02 > 0:26:06Bet there we are. The law says no so very disappointed little Brooky.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Do you go fast on my bug?- Yeah.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13And... where do you go fast?

0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Everywhere.- Around the corners?

0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Yes!- Down the hills?- Yes.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Passed people's front doors?- Yes.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Down the shop?- Yeah.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27She's a proper Jones now. She brought the police home!

0:26:29 > 0:26:32Cos all the girls have brought them here

0:26:32 > 0:26:36at sometime or other through something silly!

0:26:36 > 0:26:38But now she's a proper Jones!

0:26:49 > 0:26:53Jane's daughter, Simone, has found a job, but not a local one.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57I've had a phone call today eventually saying I've been accepted

0:26:57 > 0:27:01for a job in the Swan Hotel in Cumbria

0:27:01 > 0:27:04and that's for a bar and waitress job

0:27:04 > 0:27:07and it's not exactly what I would have loved at the minute

0:27:07 > 0:27:11and I just can't believe after 56 applications...you know,

0:27:11 > 0:27:15and even then, the only thing I managed to get is because

0:27:15 > 0:27:17we knew people in the hotel.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20You know, I managed to know about the application

0:27:20 > 0:27:23because it was through Pete's old boss

0:27:23 > 0:27:25and I think it's really brought it home

0:27:25 > 0:27:29that it's not about what you know, it's who you know.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Simone's going to miss her old home.

0:27:45 > 0:27:46And who knows?

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Maybe she'll miss The Mount too.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59It will be strange without her.

0:27:59 > 0:28:00But...

0:28:00 > 0:28:03just one of those things you've got to get used to, isn't it?

0:28:05 > 0:28:08I can always go up there.

0:28:08 > 0:28:13There's ways and means. So I'll go and up and annoy her.

0:28:13 > 0:28:14Make a mess of her place.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17Leave the kitchen untidy, burn the toast!

0:28:20 > 0:28:22And get me own back!
