0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:04 > 0:00:09Ballysally, not far from the centre of Coleraine.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Home to almost 3,000 people,
0:00:13 > 0:00:15many out of work and on benefits.
0:00:15 > 0:00:20ALL trying to keep their heads above the rough economic water.
0:00:20 > 0:00:25This is the story of a year on the estate.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45DOGS BARKING
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Today is Emma's day.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Emma, do we just go in after you?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- Emma...- Yes, go yous in behind me.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Usually, she's found looking after alcoholics on the estate,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10but today she's taking a break to get married.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12APPLAUSE
0:01:13 > 0:01:17I just think, "My goodness."
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I didn't think it would happen... I don't know, don't feel different.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23It's just weird I'm not going to be Emma Kennedy anymore.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Aye, it is, after 25 years.- Yeah.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Jim is one of Emma's success stories.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Ohh!
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Couple of days growth there.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Probably need a machete!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Her first client on the estate,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47she's been working with him for nearly a year.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Can't really get much prettier.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It's...eh...I need a towel.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58The girl's helped me so much, like.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01God, compared to two years ago I'm a changed man.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06I could have been dead, for God's sake, if I hadn't met that girl.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09She's the best thing happened to me in a long friggin' time.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11She's saved me life.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14With Emma going on honeymoon,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Jim will have to battle alone to keep the drink at bay.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I don't know, I just couldn't live in an absolute tip.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I just can't do it. That started when I had Shaya.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Single mum Emma's waiting for a delivery.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44She's bought some wood for a new fence.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Bet my neighbours are thinking, "What the heck's this woman getting delivered now?"
0:02:48 > 0:02:52There's no way I could leave this sitting in my back yard now, after all this.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Definitely have to get it put away now.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Not because of where I live, but I think, just, in general
0:02:58 > 0:03:00you couldn't leave something like that out.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Fresh wood...!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10That'll be high enough to keep the good in and the bad out, wont it?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Emma just needs to find someone to build the fence for her.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I've got the stuff, but how long's it going to sit in my house for?
0:03:34 > 0:03:35What about ye, lad?
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Not too bad.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Unemployed joiner Noel's dropped in to see Kyle.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47You up? Ach, you havnae got a fucking dog?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50You cannae look after your fucking self, and you get a dog?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Kyle's bought a new dog called Poppy to keep him company.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57It gives me something...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59a bit of responsibility, like.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03It's not so good whenever it's fucking up early hours of the morning,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06you hear it getting up off its wee bed, its wee cushion in the room.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10As soon as you hear it getting up off that you've to be up like a shot and take it out.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Look at that wee sad face of his. Wee sad face on him.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Pish on him. Pish on him!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- What's wrong wi' ye? - It's like a wee fucking gerbil.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23To give him something to do,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Kyle's joined Noel's band.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32We'll get a week or two and then we'll maybe start band practice?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Mmm... They definitely need it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37But with band season over, boredom's setting in.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Ach, there'll be something else'll pop up, like.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Denise has taken time off work
0:04:52 > 0:04:55to bring daughter Lauren to hospital.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Just before she was even born, they asked us
0:04:57 > 0:05:00what we wanted to do.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Can I text Daddy, see what he's doin'?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And they sent this... I remember they sent this man in
0:05:05 > 0:05:09and he started to talk about...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11..terminations. Terminations.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16There was just no way, because we'd waited for her for so long.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And there was no way...
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- That wasn't even an option. - Mummy, can you show me...?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23And thank God.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Can you show me how to get the mess...to text messages?
0:05:26 > 0:05:32Lauren was born with spina bifida and needs regular medical checkups -
0:05:32 > 0:05:34at least one appointment a month.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Today she's having her kidneys checked.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- No, no, no, no!- OK, Lauren.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Shh.- No! No!- Lauren?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Lauren.- Lauren... Shh, it's OK.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47No, Mummy, no. I don't want it, Mummy!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It'll be really quick. Come on, you've had this before.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- It'll be fine.- Still as a statue. - You've had this before.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Be a good girl. - I don't like it! I don't like it!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Lauren, listen, this has to be done. - I don't want this today.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Well done.- That was better, mm?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03SHE MOANS
0:06:03 > 0:06:05All done! Good. There!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- It's sore, now.- Is it sore?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- Yeah, my left arm.- Which arm's sore? - That one.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15No, there!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17As a parent you'd rather have the pain
0:06:17 > 0:06:21or the discomfort yourself rather than putting her through it.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Mmm? If only. If only we could do it that way.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Want to go back in for some lunch?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44That's my ma.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45This is me in Donegal.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47My dad was born in Donegal.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49That's a fine wee boy.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Blond hair, the life in front of him.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57With Emma away, Jim's still managing to stay sober.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00A couple of years ago, I couldn't have held that like that, you know.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05He's struggled with alcohol most of his adult life.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08You don't realise you are an alcoholic
0:07:08 > 0:07:13till you actually hit rock bottom and it's not a nice place to be.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It's a very dark, dark place to be.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Jim's drinking reached crisis point
0:07:19 > 0:07:22after a bad break-up with a girlfriend.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I was looking for help, but,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I never got further than the first bar really.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32There'll be always that thing in the back of your head saying,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35"Go on take a wee drink." But no!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I'm going to make this the first year without a drink.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42It's good now,
0:07:42 > 0:07:46when I get a year, wow, the world's your oyster, I reckon!
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Sure look at that there, look at the beautiful sky.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Today, I actually get the whole morning to myself until I go to work.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06That's very uncommon!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08That doesn't usually happen.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11It's hard to think it's Ballysally, like,
0:08:11 > 0:08:15and you're living here and going surfing and stuff. Not a bad life.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20All you'll see is me falling on my ass.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Emma moved to Ballysally with daughter, Shaya,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28after her marriage in Canada broke down.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34And that's how it goes. Emma never fully reaches her potential(!)
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Whenever I left Canada, I lost everything.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Car, savings, money, everything. Job...
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Yes, I did come out with Shaya and that's awesome, like.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49But I learnt my lesson now. I'll never do it again.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52After months on a waiting list,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Emma was eventually given a council house.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00Three years on, she's just beginning to settle in to life on the estate.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I was a wee bit worried
0:09:02 > 0:09:04that I would have horrible neighbours,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07that they would party a lot,
0:09:07 > 0:09:11that it maybe wouldn't be a good situation for Shaya.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Yes, I'm surrounded by kids and other families, but...
0:09:15 > 0:09:18maybe its not opinions that I want my daughter to have.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22That would be something that would concern me, but not as much anymore
0:09:22 > 0:09:25because I think it's more so up to me now what she's exposed to
0:09:25 > 0:09:29no matter where I live, whether it's in Ballysally, or not.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Right now, I'd like a fence in my front yard.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I want to know who's talking to my child,
0:09:34 > 0:09:39not I don't want my three-year-old to be running the streets - at four or five, even -
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I want her in a controlled environment,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44where I can supervise her, see who she's playing with,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47where they're from, who their parents are before...
0:09:47 > 0:09:51That maybe seems a wee bit over the top, but to me, it's not.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Are you going to ring what's-her-name and drop the price?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11No, we'll go and look at this first and see.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Jimmy and Denise are among the few on the estate who both work
0:10:14 > 0:10:16and own their own home.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20But they need to move to a bungalow for the sake of their daughter, Lauren.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I would like to move house,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26because I'm always knackered going up them stairs.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29So I am.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35They've found a house in their price range.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Hello. I'm phoning about the house in Coleraine.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I'm looking to get a viewing for it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43But it's not ideal.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Is it a repo?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Some people are funny about buying repossessions.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54We need a bungalow, so...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Too bad.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Their own house has been on the market a year
0:11:01 > 0:11:03but there's no sign of it shifting.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08We need to move. She's getting bigger and heavier.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11And those stairs are killing us.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14It's just the waiting.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Waiting, waiting, waiting, for somebody to come along and say
0:11:18 > 0:11:23"Yes, we love your house. Here you are, here's the money".
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I WANT to move house TODAY.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38You'd be lying in the house doing nothing.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Or else you could be out here fishing, something to do.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Get's boring, lying in the house for so long.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49'Kyle's been unemployed for three years.'
0:11:49 > 0:11:52You've some good weeks and then other weeks
0:11:52 > 0:11:56you've fucking bad weeks and you've no money at all to do nothing.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58You can't even get out fishing because you've no money.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I'm kind of fed up with not having money.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03With plenty of time on his hands
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Kyle is starting to regret a squandered youth.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I've a brain in there somewhere
0:12:09 > 0:12:12but I just never really stuck at school too much
0:12:12 > 0:12:14to stick around and get my grades.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17It sort of holds you back in a job, just.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I kind of regret it now, like.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Still count as grades, like, even if they were crap ones.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I was down, signing on, there on Friday
0:12:26 > 0:12:28couple of jobs were there,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32but you needed too many GCSEs and stuff for them, which I don't have.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37There was only one other one and that was McDonalds
0:12:37 > 0:12:40so I thought I would try it.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45It's not something I would really like to have went for before.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48It sometimes takes starting off in a crappy job
0:12:48 > 0:12:49to end up getting a good one,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52so you just have to persevere with it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Money's money, but if you're earning it, it's better.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04If you put your mind to something,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07it's achievable, you know what I mean?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Jim's still off the booze
0:13:09 > 0:13:13and now he feels strong enough to tackle the smokes as well.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Will power - that's what it takes, you know.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I'm going to roll a cigarette.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25You can't start the patches till tomorrow anyway, you see.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28There's very little tobacco left, in fact, it's dust.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32John Wayne used to roll them on the horse,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34and do it with his... you know, one handed roll.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I used to be able to do that but I can't do it anymore.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39The drink's made me shake too much.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44The doctor says the shakes might never go away
0:13:44 > 0:13:46but, you know...
0:13:48 > 0:13:50They're not as bad as they were.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Yeah...
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Tomorrow.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Went in for an interview in McDonald's.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Like he says in the interview, like,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19there was probably about 200 people in for it, but...
0:14:19 > 0:14:22he says he'd be letting me know.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26There was ones in with degrees and stuff, for it...
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Like, they have to look at it as if...
0:14:28 > 0:14:31them boys are only going to stay there until they get something better.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36So they were kind of looking an average person for it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38He says he would get back to me,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42I think it was three or four days after it, and I never heard a word.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Despite this setback, Kyle's not giving up.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52I was a lorry mechanic about two or three years ago
0:14:52 > 0:14:57and the place went bankrupt, so it put me out of a job.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02Before that, I was a steel erector as well...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04But it was...
0:15:04 > 0:15:06It was too stressful working at that.
0:15:07 > 0:15:13I can't really go to anything too stressful cos of my anger problems.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17I can't listen to anybody shout at me too much.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Yes, I can get told what to do, but...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Can't listen to somebody down your throat all the time.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31There's fuck all in this.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32They're all temporary.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37There's nobody wants to come off the dole onto a temporary job
0:15:37 > 0:15:41that you're only going to be at for a couple of weeks.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Then you've to wait another 13 weeks to get back on the dole again.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's stupid.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Ah, be nice to get my frigging corridor back, I'm telling you!
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Emma's finally found someone to build her fence.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Thanks a lot for doing this again.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15It's been a struggle trying to get someone to do it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17She hasn't had to look far.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Noel from two doors down has offered to build it for her.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Going to take this opportunity to bond with my neighbours.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Sure looks like he knows what he's doing, doesn't he?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Here you are. Doing a good job there.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- I always do a good job.- Aye.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I know. Wonder why that is!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- You get nothing done. - You're a bad man.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- She looks after you well, doesn't she?- Oh, aye.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50That's amazing.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53He only had three boards up less than two minutes ago. Now he's up to ten.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56That's going to take him no time at all.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58He's so easy to work with.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01He doesn't make you feel like he's doing you a big favour.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05He's making it seem like "It's nothing, it's nothing."
0:17:05 > 0:17:06But it's his time and effort
0:17:06 > 0:17:09and he's the one sweating the bit out out there for me too.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14How many next door neighbours would do your fence for you? Not many.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Why'd you never go into business for yourself doing joinery?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Really?
0:17:25 > 0:17:30It'll be so nice to let the wee'un out and not worry about her beelining or being in my neighbours' house.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33It's just better this way, it really is.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- VOICEMAIL: - 'You have three new messages.'
0:17:49 > 0:17:51That's not too bad.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Three, I thought it was going to be like ten.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Emma's honeymoon is over.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Oh aye, married now, yeah.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07That'll do. Sure, I'll speak to you later on in the week, OK?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Bye, bye.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12And it's back to business as usual on the estate.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I wonder what Jim's doing today.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21OK.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Hello, how are you? - Hello, Mrs, uh...
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Jim's had a setback in his battle with the booze.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Are you still on the Antabuse, not on the Antabuse?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Off the anti, I can't. I've been drinking, Emma.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Have you?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41And are you going to stop?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- This is definitely it. I can't drink. - Because you're looking really well.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Paula... Do you think so? I think I look fucking awful.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- No, I think you're looking really well.- Do you?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52You look great, you look really well.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- I thought I looked terrible. - No, you're looking really well,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- but you're feeling terrible, Jim. - This is definitely it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It's a big step for you, you know, to recognise this is enough.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05When can you start your Antabuse, then? Thursday?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- I've no idea what day it is! - Neither did I, Jim, so don't worry.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10See when you're off a couple of days,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I was thinking it was Friday there for a minute.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17A lot of people I work with have absolutely no-one
0:19:17 > 0:19:21and would have had nobody until I came along,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23and although maybe yes, they're still drinking,
0:19:23 > 0:19:27they're maybe not drinking as much or they're doing wee extra things
0:19:27 > 0:19:31that to us, we just get up in the morning and just do,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33like cleaning the house or even just personal hygiene,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35small things like that.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37It's good to go out and know you're helping people.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56It's just an open yard.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00There's no gates, it's not exactly high enough to keep a cat in,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02let alone a three-year-old kid.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06So this, obviously, three-foot fence will definitely keep her in.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13It's not like I'm putting cages on the windows or anything.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Then I'd need some serious help
0:20:15 > 0:20:20but I'd be devastated if anything happened Shaya.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Emma and her Canadian husband
0:20:22 > 0:20:25were expecting another daughter before Shaya.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29But there were problems with the pregnancy.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34They sent me away for testing for Downs Syndrome
0:20:34 > 0:20:36and it came back positive for that.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39So they didn't know what the outcome was going to be,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42whether she'd be disabled, mentally, physically,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45whether she was going to form correctly, all that kind of stuff.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50It took a long time for it to sink in that there was something wrong.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I think I was just a bit naive. I was just so excited to be pregnant.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Despite doctors' advice to have an abortion,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Emma continued with her pregnancy.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Her daughter was born five weeks early, and they called her Emily.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08She'd red hair and she'd brown eyes...blue... I don't know.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12It was hard to tell the colour of her eyes cos she was premature.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16She was quite, she'd a good length on her, she was quite tall like Shaya is
0:21:16 > 0:21:19so, just like a normal baby!
0:21:19 > 0:21:23On the fifth day, they said, "We think your daughter's going downhill.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27"Do you want to continue treatment or let nature take its course?"
0:21:27 > 0:21:31I really regret the last few hours of her life
0:21:31 > 0:21:34because they took her away for a CT scan
0:21:34 > 0:21:36and they were moving her
0:21:36 > 0:21:38and it was just so unnecessary, like.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Instead, I should have been sitting there.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I should have been sitting in the rocking chair with the wee'un
0:21:43 > 0:21:46with a wee blanket round us and sitting cuddling her
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and I didn't get to do that. It's a bit shitty.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57We bathed her and dressed her
0:21:57 > 0:22:01before she was sent off to the crematorium and stuff,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04but it was horrific.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07You know, I had one opportunity,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11after the C-section was done and they took her to the Special Care Unit,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14to hold her, but she'd so many tubes coming out of her and everything
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I said, "No, I can't.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20"I don't know how to hold her because it's my first baby
0:22:20 > 0:22:25"and all these tubes and stuff," and it's so...overwhelming
0:22:25 > 0:22:27and you don't want to hurt them, like.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35I guess that's things you've got to live with. Those choices.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Sometimes I guess, like, I might be a wee bit OTT
0:22:42 > 0:22:45but I don't think this is over the top.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I didn't come all this way and do all this
0:22:50 > 0:22:54and have a second opportunity with my daughter to mess it up now.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Denise and Lauren are back at hospital.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Which number was it in?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I think it's the first door, darling.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Walking is getting harder for Lauren.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24She's in line for a new wheelchair.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Right, let's see.- Where's your belt?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Where is it? Oh, there it is.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31You'll hear the click,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35so just you try pressing that and see if that's opening OK.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Great.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39You need to push a bit harder than that to get over the lip.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43That's it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47When you go up the town, who will be pushing your wheelchair?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Me.- Good, good.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Who's not going to be pushing the wheelchair?- Daddy.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Yeah, it's good. Much lighter.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I prefer the wheels on this one.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I'm putting stickers on that. Justin Bieber stickers.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03SHE LAUGHS
0:24:03 > 0:24:08- Now, remember we have a slope. Let's see how you do.- Ooh...
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Control it now. Control it, Lauren! Control it!
0:24:16 > 0:24:19That wasn't very controlled, was it?
0:24:19 > 0:24:20I can't do it.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22GIGGLES
0:24:22 > 0:24:24That was a bit bad!
0:24:27 > 0:24:30You're going to do a lot of pushing on your own this time.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I'm trying to flip.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Yay! You did it.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Look at that.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42You've only just got your new chair and already you can flip.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Good. Good girl.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Mum, I want to do it again.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50One more. Then we'll go and get you in.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52There! That was brilliant.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55With Lauren's mobility getting worse, though,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57the need to move house is becoming critical.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10THEY LAUGH
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Things are looking up for Kyle.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16He has a new girlfriend, Annie.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Sort of started chatting through Facebook.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Then she was down in Coleraine every now and again
0:25:24 > 0:25:26so we just agreed to meet up.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Annie's convinced him to turn his back on his bachelor ways.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34She's sort of the most down-to-earth person you've ever met.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Whereas all the other wee girls are out every weekend
0:25:37 > 0:25:41fucking slutting about and whatever
0:25:41 > 0:25:45and constantly at your throat and won't let you do nothing...
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Basically, what he's trying to say is, I'm faithful. He can trust me.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Yeah, it's all about trust.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I could never trust anybody.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I'm 23 and she's 16.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02All my friends have been settled down for years.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06I was always the girl that liked to go out and party and enjoy myself
0:26:06 > 0:26:07and not get settled down
0:26:07 > 0:26:10but after a while, that started to get a bit boring.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I used to go out every weekend and party and not come home
0:26:14 > 0:26:17till maybe the Sunday or the Monday,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20but the last couple of months,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24I haven't even really been drinking the last couple of months.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Most guys I've been with
0:26:25 > 0:26:29have been cheeky and ignorant and don't really care.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Whereas he's different.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34He's actually nice.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Sometimes.- Sometimes!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I can't believe how quickly you did it, to be honest.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Now I know you're a carpenter, you're done for.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I've got a curtain pole I need put up.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Aaron! Curtain pole. You're the expert.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06EMMA LAUGHS
0:27:06 > 0:27:10If you get me two hinges and a lock, I'll have your wee gate on tomorrow
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- and that'll be the whole lot done.- Sweet.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Shaya has arrived to inspect Noel's handiwork.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18What's he doing?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24What do you think, Shaya? Is it big and tall?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27You try and climb that fence now, missus.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28No, no. Get off that.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30She'll hardly break it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34What do you think?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- It's pretty.- Is it pretty?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I bet that's just what Noel wanted to hear, it's pretty.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41SHE LAUGHS
0:27:41 > 0:27:43TIN WHISTLE PLAYS
0:27:45 > 0:27:49I think we got the thumbs-up from the boss.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56SHAYA GIGGLES
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Next time on The Estate...
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I'm glad someone's coming to see the house.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Try and make the house look a bit neater
0:28:05 > 0:28:07and make the rooms look bigger!
0:28:07 > 0:28:10We've so much junk in this house!
0:28:10 > 0:28:11We're hiding it in my car.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- I'm not all right, Emma. - You will be OK, Ben.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20I've a Stanley knife in the house. I'll cut my jugular to fuck.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27I better not do that. I've so much hairspray in my hair!
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Yep.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34And it was down in price too!
