After moving from Chiswick to So-ha (South Harlesden), Amanda rekindles her friendship with Anne and tries to schmooze a celebrity chef at her kids’ new secondary school.
After embracing minimalism (or as she calls it, ‘simpletonism’), Amanda is forced to sell the contents of her lock up at a car boot sale.
Anne takes on the herculean task of teaching teenagers. Meanwhile, Amanda gets a job at Kichen’s Kitchens and Bathrooms, while Della launches her new restaurant – Double Shin.
Amanda goes on a date with South African property developer Johannes, while Georgie and Darius’s relationship starts to get serious, much to Anne’s delight.
Much to Amanda’s annoyance, Anne organises a camping trip to the New Forest. What should be a wholesome weekend away ends up being a nightmare, including snakes, drugs and UTIs.
Amanda takes over organising the end-of-season football awards, so no more tracksuits and sausage rolls. It’s now black tie and cocktails. Not everyone is happy about this.
