  39, single, successful and blessedly childfree, Amy Jones had no desire for motherhood until a series of unexpected events set her biological clock ticking...ticking doubletime. Amy's life is just fine. Perfect, even. She has made a success of her business, she lives alone in an expensive flat in Docklands, with no one to tie her down but her dog, Germaine. And she has a dog-walker anyway. Until Germaine dies - beneath the wheels of Amy's own car - and a newborn baby is abandoned on her doorstep. Forced to re-address her priorities, Amy embarks on a mission to get pregnant before her 40th birthday and without any relationship complications. And so the dates begin...There's the Mensa man, the bike courier, the male nanny and many more on a monthly basis. And all the while, there's Joe, the good-looking doctor she meets on bringing the baby to the hospital, with the wedding ring and the horrible twins in tow. This work is a refreshing social comedy by the writer, actress and comedian, Jackie Clune currently touring in Mamma Mia!

  Amy Stokes is no Bridget Jones. There is no ticking biological clock and no desire to exchange her single status for anything more than a quick fling. She is a 39 year old successful business woman, with a close group of friends and no desire to change her life. It takes the death of her beloved dog Germaine - beneath the wheels of her own car - and the wholly unexpected arrival of a baby on her doorstep to force Amy to re-address her priorities. She embarks on a mission to get pregnant before her landmark 40th birthday, a task that proves harder than she ever imagined...This mission results in a string of hilarious - and disastrous - dates: the Mensa man, the bicycle courier, the male nanny, the foray into speed dating...none of which bring her any closer to her ultimate goal. All the while there is the ever-present figure of Joe, the alluring doctor Amy meets on bringing the baby to the hospital. At first he appears totally unsuitable, sporting a wedding ring and with twin girls in tow. But will Amy allow first impressions and her obsession to have a baby, blind her from seeing what is right under her nose?
