"We'll get loads of customers from Llanarthur Industrial Estate"

Kelly is continuing to plan her delivery service;  “We’ll get customers from Llanarthur Industrial Estate,” she tells Ed;  then Ricky comes in, and she asks if he has seen the new van outside.   “It’s a real bargain,” she enthuses, 

"These leaflets are fab!"

and thanks him for designing the leaflets.

She continues, “I’ve had an idea about a logo to put on the van, and I want to pick your brains – 

"Hot Ready Meals– delivered"

“Ed and I have had another massive idea – ‘Hot Ready Meals’, delivered – we might as well if we’re also delivering sandwiches – so can you put that on the website as well, please?”   

Ed goes out, leaflet-delivering . . .

She sends Ed out, delivering her leaflets, 

. . . and is enthusiastic about Kelly's plans

and wishes him good luck.

"Have you seen my scarf, Jason?"

Sara is grumpily looking for her scarf, but Jason is lounging on the sofa;  

"Are you going to moan about that 'Welcome Home' dinner?"

“Are you going to sit there all day, moaning about Wednesday night?” she demands, and he replies that he does not want to go to a ‘Welcome Home’ dinner.

Sara points out that DJ and Non have gone to a lot of trouble to organise this surprise for Dai and Diane, 

"I wonder what the topic of conversation will be"

but he says, “I wonder what the topic of discussion will be at this dinner – let me see now – Jason losing his licence, perhaps?”   

"You were lying on it!"

Then she finds that he is lying on her scarf, and he realises that he has not been much fun lately.

"Living with Victor Meldrew would have been easier!"

“Living with Victor Meldrew would have been easier!” Sara advises him, but adds, 

"At least you made up for it over the weekend!"

“At least you made up for it over the weekend!”   He is still worrying about what might have happened to her, and suggests that they are a good team;  

"I promise to be nice to you all week"

he promises to be very nice to her all week.

“Does that mean that you’ll be nice to Dai on Wednesday night?” she enquires, 

"There's a limit to everything, Sara!"

but he replies that there is a limit to everything.

There is a knock at the door, and Gwyneth comes in, wanting to have a chat about something important;  

"I want to sell this house"

“I want to sell the house.”   Jason and Sara look at each other in amazement.

Dani has campsite problems

Garry is speaking to Dani on the phone, and is concerned that their campsite has no electricity;  

"Give Seren a cuddle from me"

he tells her to give Seren a cuddle from him.    

"What time's the training session?"

Then he is about to leave for the garage, and asks Chester what is the time of the training session, 

"I'm not in the mood"

but is told, “I’m not in the mood.”

"I asked Rhys to keep an eye on you"

“I’ve had a word with Rhys, and asked him to keep an eye out to make sure no one winds you up – youre obviously sensitive about it,” Garry tells him, and he is outraged.

"Brilliant – just what I need!"

“Brilliant – just what I need!   I’m six years old now, am I?” snarls Chester, and he walks out, leaving his breakfast.

Kelly has left Ricky in charge downstairs

In the café flat, Kelly tells Anita that Ricky is in charge at the moment;  

Kelly is developing positive energy

“I’m learning how to turn the stress of running a business into positive energy,” she says, 

"I wish Jason would be more positive"

and Anita wishes that Jason would be more positive, as she still has not heard from him about the progress of the loft conversion.

“I appreciate you letting me stay here, but there’s nothing like being in your own home,” Anita sighs.   

"Is living with Siôn not an option?"

Kelly shows signs of disapproval of Anita’s presence there when she enquires if living with Siôn, temporarily, is not an option.

She thinks it is better to live apart

“I think it’s best if Siôn lives in Y Felin, and I live somewhere else,” she answers, and Kelly considers it is a pity, as they make such a lovely couple.

“What you need is to go on holiday somewhere, once a month, to a little love nest,” Kelly suggests, “Don’t be embarrassed – I’m talking sense,” and Anita warms slightly to the idea.

"I need an answer"

“I know you haven’t considered buying the place, but I need an answer, so I can put in an offer for the salon and flat,” says Gwyneth, 

"How about giving notice to tenants?"

but Jason points out that there is such a thing as giving notice to tenants.   Gwyneth angrily announces that she can give them notice, starting from the end of the month.

Sara agrees that this is not the place they intended to buy, but Gwyneth, interrupts, 

"Especially when you've been stupid enough to lose your licence"

“You could do a lot worse – especially when you’ve been stupid enough to lose your licence!   This place is on the doorstep of where you work – handy now that you’re banned!   Just think about it – but I need a quick answer.”

"We should really consider it"

When she has gone Sara says that they should consider it;  “It is really close to work – and Iolo and Tyler have been so good with Ifan.”   

"What happened to the big house outside the village?"

Jason reminds her of the big house outside the village with the garden and conservatory, 

"We might get a bargain here"

and she agrees they can still aim for that, but they might get a bargain here, as Gwyneth is in a hurry.

Sara has wonderful dreams for the house

“There’s so much potential here – a new kitchen and bathroom – a new wet room, perhaps,” she goes on, “You’ve promised to be very very nice to me, haven’t you?   We’ve been very happy here – and with the odd small change . . .”

"And who do you know to make a wet room?"

She is stopped by Jason;  “Who do you know who can make a wet room for you upstairs?” and she replies that it is a shame she does not know a builder.   She argues that they do not have the time or the patience to look for somewhere else to live at short notice, 

"Let's discuss this tonight"

but he wants to discuss this tonight.

"The hero of Cwmderi!"

When Chester walks into the café, he is greeted as the hero of Cwmderi, and informs Rhys that he will not be at training, as he has more important things to do.   

"Have this on the house!"

Then he is offered a free drink by Kelly, but he insists on paying, 

"I'm old enough to look after myself!"

and tells Rhys, “I don’t know what Garry’s told you, but I’m old enough to look after myself – and I’m not a hero!”

"Has someone stolen baby bear's porridge this morning?"

He marches out of the door, and Kelly comments, “Has someone stolen baby bear’s porridge this morning, or what?”   Mathew notices Jason, heading towards APD, so thinks he had better get a move on.

Mathew is texting someone

Outside, Sara is still putting forward her point of view;  “The more I think about it, the more it makes sense,” but Jason wants to leave it until later.   Mathew emerges from the café, and is texting someone;  at the same moment, Sara receives a text,

"I don't pay you to sit in the café!"

as Jason is shouting that he does not pay Mathew to sit in the café, stuffing his face.

A text arrives on Sara's phone

Sara looks concerned, as the text, from an unknown number, informs her,  “Your husband might lose his licence, but he’ll still wander.”   

"Who were you texting?"

Jason immediately jumps to the conclusion that it has come from Mathew, 
and chases after him.

“Who were you texting?” he demands, 

"Eifion – all right?"

and Mathew shows him that he was contacting Eifion.   

Sara describes this as a misunderstanding, and urges Mathew to forget it;  

"What the hell are you doing?"

then she asks Jason, “What the hell are you doing?   Calm down, before I start thinking we do have a problem!   

"Someone wants to get under our skin"

“Whoever is doing this, for whatever reason, wants to get under our skin.   But we understand each other, we don’t have anything to hide, do we?   So do what I do – ignore it.   

"Not another word to Mathew, OK?"

“Go to work – and not another word to the Mathew, OK?”

"Just checking you're all right"

Chester puts on the kettle, and Ricky comes upstairs, just wanting to check that he is right, as Kelly said he was in a bad mood this morning.   

"I wish people would talk about someone else!"

“I wish people would talk about someone else apart from me for a change,” Chester groans, 

"Are you coming to training?"

and Ricky asks if he is coming to Rhys’s training session tonight.   They are doing pair work, and they could have a laugh, but Chester is not keen to go.

"We're interested in buying the house"

Sara goes to the salon, and informs Gwyneth, “Jason and I are interested in buying the house – for the right price.   You know Jason, he needs time to think things through.”   

"I thought it wasn't good enough for you"

Gwyneth remarks that she thought the place was not good enough for Sara;  

"It will do – until we find somewhere nicer"

she replies, “It will do for now, until we find somewhere nicer – it would give us security to have a roof over our heads.”

“I don’t care about you, Sara, as long as the offer is right, and it’s a quick sale,” Gwyneth tells her.   

"I can't see any problem with a mortgage"

Sara has talked to the bank and cannot see any problem with the mortgage;  she enquires about the price, 

"£160,000 – and not a penny less!"

and is told £160,000, but not a penny less.

The training session is under way

Rhys is putting them through their paces on the playing field, and we see that Chester has actually turned up;  they are running on the spot, and Chester tells Ricky, “I hope this is worth it – I’m really not in the mood!”

Then they are told to stop, and to do twenty press-ups next;  

Chester wishes he had not come

Chester looks far from keen to do this.

"Builders and plumbers never answer their phones!"

Siôn and Anita are in the Deri;  “Builders and plumbers never answer their phones!” moans Anita, “I just want to move back into my home – that’s not too much to ask, is it?”   

"Here he is – you can ask him"

At that moment, Jason comes in, and Anita approaches him;  

"How is your hand?"

“How is your hand?” she asks him, “I thought you must have hurt it, as you’re not answering your phone.”   

He says that he is really sorry, and she demands what he is going to do about it;  

"It's not the penthouse at the Ritz!"

“I want to move back into my home, right?   You’re doing a loft conversion in a terraced house, not the penthouse at the Ritz!”

"Dai will be back on Wednesday"

He explains that Dai will be back on Wednesday, but she is insistent that he finish the job quickly, because she is not happy at all.   

"Remind me never to ignore your calls!"

When she returns to her seat, Siôn comments, “Remind me never to ignore your phone calls!”

The exertion continues . . .

As they throw rugby balls to each other, Ricky says that he thought Chester had more important things to do tonight, 

. . . and there are some Superhero quips

and Ed jokes that it is hard to fit everything in, when you are a Superhero.   Mathew asks if he has to wear a cape, and his pants over his trousers, but when Ricky agrees that he is more like Batman, 

Ricky receives a powerful direct hit from Chester

Chester hurls the ball at him, 

"What do you think you're doing?"

gets up and walks away.

Rhys shouts after him, and Mathew remarks, “Hero to zero – just like that!   What’s wrong with that boy?”

Siôn is impressed with the delivery service idea

In the Deri, Siôn remarks to Kelly that he received one of her pamphlets through the letterbox;  she is glad to see that Ed has been working hard.   Chester comes in and immediately goes upstairs;  Siôn wonders what he has done now.  

"Something needs to be done about him!"

“Someone needs to do something about him – he’s out of control,” says Kelly.

"I've done it again – I lost my temper . . ."

Garry follows him upstairs, and finds him in a terrible state;  “I’ve done it again – I lost my temper!   

". . . and I think I injured Ricky!"

“And I think I injured Ricky.”   

Garry is not judgmental today

Garry asks if there is anything he can do to help, but he just does not want to talk;  “A couple of days away from the office would help,” he begins, 

"I don't want to work there any more"

but then adds, “Actually, I don’t want to work there any more.   Making small talk with the customers is doing my head in – I’m not going back!”   

Garry makes no objection

Garry raises no objection to this.

"I can't risk him losing control like that again"

Downstairs, Rhys says, “I can’t risk him losing control like that again.”   Garry tells Ricky that Chester is genuinely sorry for hurting him, 

"We shouldn't have laughed at him"

but Ricky realises that they should not have laughed at him.   Garry describes it as just a small blip, 

"Remember – Chester doesn't like Batman jokes!"

and Mathew will remember in future that Chester does not like Batman jokes.

Garry is very troubled about Chester

Garry is seriously worried about Chester.

"I've had enough today!"

Sara tells Jason that Gwyneth wants an answer before the end of the week, but he wants to have a shower first;  “Anita, Gwyneth, the house and these blinking texts – I’ve had enough today!”   She wonders why he is still worried about those texts, and describes him as paranoid.   

"Aren't you just a little worried about the texts?"

“Aren’t you just a little bit worried about them?” he enquires.

"Are you sure you haven't offended someone?"

“Are are you you sure you haven’t offended someone?   A customer, perhaps?” she wonders, and he remembers that she said this morning that there was no need to worry.

"Why are you so negative about buying the house?"

Why are you being so negative about buying this house?” she demands, “You’re negative about the house and paranoid about the texts.   What’s going on?   

"You're not hiding anything from me, are you?"

“You’re not hiding anything from me, are you?   I don’t understand your attitude.”

"I need to forget about these messages"

He spells it out quite clearly that he is not hiding anything;  “But you’re right – I need to forget about these messages, because it’s nonsense – 

"If you want to buy the house, that's what we'll do"

“and if you want to buy this house, that’s what we'll do.   I don’t want you to start worrying, that’s all.”
