You'll give her a complex, she's 7.
All of a sudden Mum doesn't want to get|involved, for the first time in her life.
Then I'm just leaving the house|and my two aunts arrive from Dollis Hill.
Oh, no.
So we get the Spanish Inquisition.|"Tash, you got a boyfriend?
Are you getting married soon? Why don't you|give your mother another grandchild?
You know she nearly 60. She getting old."
Aargh!
I was, like, "I haven't got a boyfriend.|I won't be getting married soon,
and, no, I won't be investing|in a mortgage in the near future,
thank you very much."
- Then I just closed the door and left.|- End of.
- You cooking?|- Yeah, are you cooking?
I'm cooking with gas. What we having?
- Food.|- That makes a change.
- Are you hungry?|- I'm ravishing.
- Aren't you just.|- Thank you.
How did it go today?
What, with my flying flock of feathered friends?
Good, they loved it. Flapping away they were.
- Were they?|- Yeah, bless them.
I had to nip it in the bud with my lot|before they flew out the window.
It was OK, though, was it?
Oh, yeah, I played them Stravinsky after lunch|just to calm them down.
- What did you play?|- The Rite Of Spring.
I booked my first driving lesson.
- Did you?|- Yeah.
- When is it?|- 12 o'clock, Saturday.
Excellent, well done you.
- I'll set the table.|- Yeah, it's nearly ready.
Yeah, I know.
I love the end of the week.|- You don't say.
- I do, actually.|- Do you?
- Yeah.|- Oh.
You know I take this dance class|on a Friday afternoon, the golden time.
I swear to God, half the kids are bigger than me.
- That's not hard, though, is it, eh, titch?|- No, I don't mean taller, I mean wider.
You want to be careful, you know?
You don't want the kids jumping about|expressing themselves. A bit dangerous.
Yeah, you do all that on Friday,
but then they spend the weekend indoors,|glued to their Nintendo DS.
Totally. A couple of weeks ago|I came in Monday -
I told Poppy - sat the kids down for carpet time,
asked them what they did over the weekend.
Gorgeous weather.|Not one of them had been out.
They'd all been sitting at home|on their PlayStations.
- You couldn't get them up off the carpet.|- When they got up, they were wheezing.
- That's pollution for you.|- We always used to go to the park.
- A lot of them don't have parks to go to.|- Yeah, exactly.
But you don't need a park to go for a walk.
If Mum and Dad don't go out, the kids don't.
Parents are too frightened|to let their kids play out.
Even a bit of green by the estate,|they don't let them play there.
But it's hard for a lot of mums and dads, isn't it?
They've had a hell of a week.|They're under pressure and stress.
- Tell me about it.|- They get back from work, if they work...
