Things are looking up for Eddie. Meanwhile Chris has an important meeting.

Everything's getting on top of Clarrie, and Eddie tries hard to cheer her up. He manages to pull forward an autumn patio job, so things are looking up. And he's sure Clarrie will find a proper job before they start feeling the pinch.

Nic turns to Clarrie to look after her children. Clarrie's happy to do so. Nic suggests Clarrie could take over some of her summer shifts at The Bull. That way Nic can spend more time with her kids. Clarrie appreciates the gesture but doesn't want to take them from her. Nic invites Eddie, Clarrie and Joe over for dinner on Friday night. 

Alice is working at the farmers' market. She sees Clarrie on her way to the pound shop to stock up on essentials. Alice asks her if she thinks it's worth it, with the price of petrol. 

Chris has his meeting with the business development advisor at the bank. He tells Alice that to get the £40k loan, they'd need to use Alice's cottage as security. If their plan fails, they'd have to take out a small mortgage on the house. Alice says they should accept the loan, even if it means using the house as security. Chris is very grateful.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
