When the boys start kidding Sally about her weight she takes it personally and ends up in a competition with Auntie to see who can lose the most weight in a fortnight.

In an effort to keep the boys away from the television, Sally introduces them to some hobbies, but they are far from happy with her choices of activities. Could it be that they just need a father figure?

Sally feels the boys need an "interesting" day out during the school holidays, so she takes them on a visit to the House of Commons.
