It's Sandy's birthday and once again Oliver has left the present buying until the last minute... but what can he buy who has everything, including him!

The influence of new neighbours is felt very strongly in the Pryde household, prompting fresh thoughts about holidays and even getting Sandy to think about one of her old flames. But, as usual, things are never as they seem.

While on one of their many economy drives, Sandy and Oliver find themselves in direct confrontation with the Residents' Association Committee. Oliver is determined to win and hits upon the idea to infiltrate their ranks.

There's trouble ahead for Oliver when he becomes entangled in an unfortunate set of coincidences that involve a redhead, a brunette, three blondes and a ballpoint... but Sandy will understand that it is all innocent, won't she?

It's time for their holiday but Sandy's unwell and Oliver's making light of it in a chauvinistic way. However, events are about to take a turn that neither could have foreseen.

After returning home from holiday, Oliver is surprised that the news of Sandy's pregnancy has affected their friends and relatives in very different ways.
