Remember when the kids were still at school?!
The kids are back at school after a long summer. Gemma and Becky can finally breathe a huge sigh of relief and reach for the gin bottle.
Except it seems that Becky is accidentally a little bit pregnant…
But that’s not the first shock for the parents in the playground. Over the summer, part of their beloved Redcoats Primary has burned down. The school needs to raise thousands of pounds to stay open – and Gemma and Becky have been forced on to the fundraising committee (just to add to the millions of messages from their online parent groups).
In year that will see new babies for Becky, new schools and a whole new business for Gemma, can they keep their heads above water and find that they’re #winningatlife?
