V:               Toyah Willcox works as a TV presenter, but this week she has a new job as a chalet girl in Switzerland. Toyah arrives at Verbier to start work and her boss shows her some of her jobs.

C:               OK. In the bathroom, clean the sink, mirror, bath … OK?

TW:               OK.

V:              Toyah starts her work with a trip to the supermarket to buy food for the week.

C:               Erm, Toyah, how much did you spend?

TW:               Um … a hundred and seventy-four.

C:              I was thinking more along the lines of … the list would cost perhaps about a hundred francs.

TW:               Oh …

V:               Two hours later the guests arrive.

TW:              Hello. Welcome!

V:               Toyah welcomes them. They’ve travelled by plane and then by bus from England. They want to ski, relax and eat some very good food.

V:               Toyah makes soup ...

TW:              Just check that it’s salt … yep. Uh! Oh no! Uh!

V:               And a cake.             

TW:               This is my first cake.

G:               It looks good.

G:               Did you know that Rosemary is a professional cook?

TW:               Oh, gosh oh … Oh no!

V:               Early morning and Toyah is up to get fresh bread for breakfast … but then there’s a problem.

TW:               Mistake number three. I haven’t got a key. Trish, Brian, it’s Toyah. Sorry.

G:              No, it’s all right. Don’t apologise.

TW:              Go back to bed and I’ll, I’ll bring you a cup of tea.

V:               A little later, Toyah makes breakfast for the guests.

TW:               Um … The plate’s hot.

G:               I don’t … I won’t have an egg.

TW:               Oh, sorry.

V:               After breakfast, the guests go skiing, and Toyah is alone … but there’s no time to rest. Toyah hoovers the rooms, she makes the beds, cleans the bath and washes the floor.

V:               But it’s not all housework for Toyah. She goes out with her guests, gives them a hot drink and tries out a new sport! Off she goes ...

TW:              And I’m not coming back!
