Plot[]
Sally and Kevin like looking after Jamie. Mike is glad to be back in business but his enthusiasm leaves Alma feeling ignored. Alf is alarmed when Sally installs Jamie in the shop while she works. Mike hires machines to make up samples for Ingram. Alf makes Sally take the day off when Jamie cries in the shop. Alma feels guilty for not showing Mike more support. Sally is upset when an old lady moves Jamie whilst she is shopping as a dog frightens him. Jim prepares to return to Aldershot to sort things out. Mike starts making the bags in his flat. Alma tries to show Mike she has faith in him but he annoys her by assuming she'll work a machine. Audrey tells Alf she wants to live in a proper house. Kimberley tries to interest Curly in going to France with her but he isn't keen. Mike wins the order and tells Alma he has to make another thousand. Sally is asked to keep the baby for two more nights as Mrs Ramsden will be in hospital for a few more days. She is pleased but Kevin starts to grow impatient with the arrangement.
