Lucy has her life all planned out - perfect job at 21, engaged to ideal man at 26, married at 27 and a half, building ideal home at 28 (fully equipped with a stereo surround sound wide screen TV and a comfortable, yet stylish, couch), birth of perfect daughter at 30. What does not fit into her neatly organised life is a mother with a bombshell, an ex-best friend with an unfortunate liking for low-life boyfriends, a series of badly dressed, metallic eyeshadowed teachers and a (very) friendly boy next door
