Susan comes home with some home remedies for the snoring problem. It is that or he has to give up drink. We see Ben enter the bedroom in the snoring prevention kit but now Susan can’t sleep because of the noise of the oxygen mask, so Ben suggests she move and sleep on the sofa.

The next morning Ben awakes full of the joys of spring having had a wonderful night’s sleep. He has made breakfast for everyone! Because of her new shopping business, Janey has decided to give all Abi’s clothes away, and Michael has nothing to wear except an old, too small school uniform, because Janey has thrown all his clothes out too.
