 This time, Spadge has turned her attention to what it means to be a modern woman in twenty-first century, digital Britain. Sure, we're not kept in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant like many of our female forebears. Sure, technology has made many traditional tasks a lot less hard work. But are our lives actually any easier? Are we really under less pressure to conform? To be perfect? Spadge isn't sure about that and she's probably right. And she wonders if, behind all the social media profiles extolling everyone else's perfect life, all the other British women are as stressed out and are making as many hapless cock-ups as Spadge herself is.

 |summary=Finn Westlake was first amused and then horrified when he saw the attractive young woman jumping up and down in the road as his jeep turned the corner: the amusement came from the fact that she was wearing just soaking-wet bra and panties.  It was when he saw the tears streaming down her face that he realised that there was a serious problem.  Diana McGuire's father's plane had crashed into the river and she had tried and failed to get him out.  Sending her to get more help Finn dived into the river and managed to extract Chester McGuire and his business associate, Sandy Moseley, but whilst checking that there was no one else in the plane he was seriously injured.

 |summary=Charlton's the sort of village where people aspire to live, despite its apparent ordinariness.  There's the usual mix of commuters (it's not ''too'' far from London) and those who make their lives in the village.  Richard Hughes is a commuter, but his wife Jessica works at the local academy, where both their children - Alfie and Hannah - are pupils.  Pete Cole is a newly-promoted police superintendent and clearly still fond of his voluptuous wife, Susie.  Actually, some of that voluptuousness might be better described as fat - Pete suspects that he might need longer arms to hug her before long.  Less popular is Gary Webber.  He's the sort of man who causes people to heave a sigh of relief when he joins someone else for a drink at the golf club.

 |summary=To say that Sophie Bennett didn't want to move to London is something of an understatement.  She's a shy person who doesn't make friends easily and the thought of losing all her support systems and having to start again fills her with dread.  ''But'', husband Michael has been offered a big job on London's RailLink project and it's not a chance he can turn down - even if he wanted to, and he doesn't.  So before long their three-year old daughter, Kaya, has been left with Sophie's parents and Michael and Sophie have found a flat in west London and they've even, against all the odds, managed to secure a place for Kaya at London's most exclusive nursery school.  Well, when I say that ''they'' managed to secure the place, I actually mean that they required the services of a nursery consultant, who has a double-barrelled name and a friendship with the headmistress.
