Farmer Pickles is phoning Bob to build a doghouse for Scruffty, but he accidentally drops the phone. At the same time, Mrs. Percival phones Farmer Pickles to look after the guinea pigs over the school holiday. After Wendy answers the message, she sends the phone off with Scoop, but then he passes it onto Spud and Travis until Farmer Pickles thinks he will get "mini pigs" delivered and he has no pigpen.

Bob's personal organizer (which gives details of all of his jobs) breaks down. He tries to remind himself by tying knots in his handkerchief, but gets them mixed up.
