    I just watched it and thought it was a good one. Sometimes when i watch it I wish I could spend they way they do, also a great incentive to start sorting your debt out. Just glad I didnt get as bad as they have..

    A top show. martin should be on it :money: :money: :money:

    It was good the way he'd started to take responsibility by the end of the programme. When the lifestyle guy started going on about adoption and a bad relationship with his father, I thought it was cheapo pop psychology but he did seem to have hit on something by the guy's reactions. Kudos to the father for really trying hard to improve their relationship.
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.
