    I want a pig like that too :) I doubt if she will continue some of Martins advice somehow, i can't explain it but she didn't seem to be hearing him properly as she was mostly smiling.

    I couldn't believe how much she spent on animals. I like animals too and would hate to see them suffer etc. She obviously has a huge heart to do something like that, but like Martin said, she wasn't taking care of herself, nearly all her income was going on the animals. Could she not open the mini croft/farm she has there to the public and just ask for donations or something for people wanting to go through or not? Martin certainly had his work cut out, I nearly died when I saw the overspend etc.

    Another thing that puzzles me - how did such a clueless person, kind hearted or not, ever manage to hold down a highly paid, stressful job?

    I trust she wasn't the company accountant or treasurer!
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

  • Does Martin need a button sewn on his cuff? I'm handy with a needle and thread. ;););)
  • Woohoo...

    First time I've managed to catch the programme................Love the pig too


    Shocked me that you can you know so little about your spending/bills, I was amazed she could not even attempt to guess her bills....and I thought I was an ostrich :confused:

    What WAS the deal with all the animals, and not a clue what they cost [ostrich thingy again]?


    Loved the no -nonsense way the solutions were put in front of her, and boy was she amazed at the savings (me too!!)

    Really enjoyed the show!

    Well done Martin!!! :j :snow_laug :j
