Further details
The neighbours are away and the kids are throwing a party. Sharon reminds Tracey that they weren't exactly angels when they were younger.
Sharon is panicking about being thirty, Tracey tells her that being thirty is easy, when you get to forty and you want to go back ten years. They spend time reminiscing about the past.
Tracey suggests to Dorien that they have a surprise party for Sharon, Dorien rejects the idea and tells Tracey about her own surprise 30th birthday party.
Sharon pays a visit to her flat and bumps into Lisa, who reveals that the Aromantique perfume they were selling hadn't been tested and had to be withdrawn due to customer complaints. She also asks Sharon if she is interested in buying her council flat as the council are thinking of selling up and her boyfriend, Les Benson is wanting to buy it.
Dorien says buying her flat might be a good idea, she drives Sharon to the flat to have a look. When there Sharon tells Dorien that she hasn't done anything with her life and she expected more by the time she was thirty.
It turns out Lisa's boyfriend Les was only trying to burgle the flats and is back in prison.
