Last night's Spendaholics

Did anyone else see this?

I couldn't quite figure out the 'football and diving board' scenario (although I did miss about 20 minutes of the program.

As soon as he handed the ball over, he was diving like Falk Hoffmann!!

    i thought it was a dangerous way to dive really. Not that I'm a diver though but looked wrong somehow. I didn't get the football bit either.

    Me either. But then they referred to it as money and handing over responsibility. I watched the whole prog and still didn't fully get how vertigo was related to money and his relationship with his parents!

    Don't think his weekly trip to the hairdressers was worth the money he paid!!! Could have done better myself...
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

  • You're right about that hair do...it's funny what people will get in debt for?:confused: Not much of an advert for Vidal S's.....why do mother's get the blame for everything? Wasn't he just plain wanting it all with out putting the work in...living for today and 4get about 2morrow because it's just plain fun...maybe Ben doesn't get the having fun bit:rolleyes: ;) ?

    That's what I was thinking as well - He wasn't far off hitting the bottom of the pool, was he.........still, that would have curbed his spending!

    His hair looked better au naturel after his dive than after £60 worth of styling! I couldn't help but liking the poor chap actually - he seemed to have his proper lightbulb moment in the final two minutes of the programme. Hope he gets it sorted.
    Overpay!
