Emma and Ed are really at the end of their tether with money with no money left for bills.

Radio Times: Josh shows his enterprising streak and Alistair makes a costly visit.

Characters: Alistair, David, Ed, Emma, George, Josh, Neil, Ruth

• Neil finds Josh fixing up the chicken coop. Neil is very impressed with a very neat job. Josh suggests that he might take on the hens as a part time job. Neil is interested but says there are lots of steps to take.
• Emma is feeling a bit better today. She’s now got over her upset from yesterday. But then one of the cows injures herself and that means a call to Alistair.
• Neil discusses Josh’s idea with David and Ruth. They are quite positive. He’s quite a sensible boy and seems to have a feel for poultry. It would only be part time but they agree as long as his schoolwork doesn’t suffer. It turns out, he is keen to earn money to keep up with Pip. But David and Ruth are really pleased to hear what he has done.
• Neil knows that things are wrong for Emma. He gives her another £10 to help out. But he realises that that isn’t going to be enough. And then Emma has to admit to Ed that she has spent the money for the water bill. She had no choice.
