- Season 4 Episode 3.
Lorna Summers is a thrift shopper with a debt of 39,000 pounds and a clothing and accessory collection that includes 250 pairs of footwear. With an income of only 1,000 pounds a month, she risks losing her home if she doesn't sort herself out.
Can Jay Hunt and Benjamin Fry cure this shopaholic?
#Spendaholics
Jay Hunt and Benjamin Fry use shock tactics to confront .... with ... overspending, but can ... commit to going cold turkey for 7 days?
Spendaholics is a British TV series where the Spendaholics team tame out-of-control spenders!
"This is my clothes room."
I honestly thought she was in a shop.
Right
She’s called Lorna Summers and she now has a shop, the Summerhouse Style Emporium. She acts as an extra too. Good for her!
linky?
@@hakirby I just googled her!
@@JehanineMelmoth I found the facebook for the shop, but it's not been updated in ten years. Hopefully she'll come in the comments like a few of them have and give us an update. I googled Benjiman Fry - he's no more a psycholgist or psychatrist than i am. His website says his specialty is trauma recovery (explains a lot of this show) and he's an accredited psychotherapist. doesnt give his acceditations on his own site and psychotherapist is a meaningless term. He's a scam artist.
Is she doing better financially? I hope so
@@hakirby so you don’t think his treatments worked on some of these people?
Okay, but this woman’s hair is absolutely gorgeous 😍
Carolynska S - I agree with you! I think of the color choice this woman wears as one a 15 year old would try. It’s too garish in my opinion and makes her look older than she is.
CassYdie I do like how she styles it but it looks very dry and damaged.
In Eastern Europe this is how a lot of middle aged and elderly women do their hair. I think it looks tacky.
All that hair dye has affected her brain
I love it also. It fits her personality well. She's not a plain jane person and it looks perfectly natural for her. Age has nothing to do with it.
I can’t believe he’s making her explain why she would rather save her dog because she was poorly than pay her debt !! Good on her for sticking up for herself!
He was trying to get her to look at the big picture: with that many dogs can she afford to do that for each one? The answer is no, because she has too many. You simply can't afford to give them that level of care when you have too many and you are in that much debt. He was trying to get her to see that having that many dogs was too much, not that she should withhold care.
@@Rye_ToastThat's not what it sounded like he was saying. That's what he SHOULD have said though.
She gave entire looks this episode tho, at least she makes full use of the wardrobe, yes queen 🙌🏼
Yep, she does 😁🤷♀️
She is no queen , she's a hoarder, serious issues in her head
@@FF-vx2vl I thought it was scary seeing all those sale bargains filling up the rooms while squeezing in her workcorner in her bedroom? From a fire safety aspect all that polyester filling the house seem like something of a hazard.
Can she feed and house her kid with her wardrobe? And you call her a queen?
Yeah, she looks great, takes care of the dogs, has rooms full of clothes... and what of her kids?
Any person that cares about their pets and considers them family would take the pet to the vet. To expect her to let the dog die is rude and horrible.
@Carolynska S are you taking about the presenter? What is interesting is that in the US, they charge over $100 to euthanize your pet, so you may as well just try to save it and get the meds for it.
Yes I agree. Would they have said that if it had been one of her children who was sick? My pets are family to me but what Lorna isn't doing is thinking about the money she would need to use incase something happened to them. We always make sure money is on the side for the animals if something goes wrong, even if we had to go without for a while. It's foolish to have the responsibility of pets but not have the funds to pay for them. That would be my immediate thought instead of racking up constant debt.
@greenkitty82 comparing a pet to a child or human family member is unhinged...
The woman makes £900 a month and has 18 dogs plus 2 children, a home to run and bills to pay. What do you expect? It's her fault. The therapist is just trying to save her from completely falling under. I think there should be tougher penalties for animal hoarders and irresponsible pet owners, such as a ban from owning animals. Animal hoarding and irresponsible pet owners have a huge impact on humanity not to mention the animals themselves. There are currently more strays on the planet than owned pets and the tax payer in the UK has to foot the bill to house abandoned dogs and cats in kennels and many end up being killed. In some countries animals roam the streets attacking people and giving people rabies and leishmaniasis, all because of idiots like this woman. Some people I guess just see it as a necessity to have pets regardless of the situation and that's the problem.
@@Billybloop you are crazy. There are many people who do not have human children and have pets. Pets deserve to go to the vet. You are obviously a bad selfish person
First off Lorna is GORGEOUS and I relate with her heavily .. second wtf is with the brown haired girl being alarmed that she went over budget saving her puppy ??! Who wouldn’t do everything they can to save their pets life
They're both assholes. Not Lorna, the pair who are allegedly "helping"
It's still a puppy. They have 10 puppies. They cannot afford to have so many dogs. It should go to a shelter/adoption. He wasn't suggesting to put it down.
Exactly! I spent $2600 to save my 9 week old then pup. Shes now a thriving happy borky 6 year old. No regrets. Animals rely on us humans to do the right thing, rather than kill them cause their a bit sick. Animals are for their life. Not a throw away. Grr.
She shouldn't have so many dogs (18??......) if she can't afford them. Pets are a luxury, not a necessity! 🤦🏻♀️
@@etaylor8028 but you can't just re-home a sick animal. Even if she rehomes paying that bill was unavoidable and they shouldn't have used her being a responsible owner as "evidence" that they're "not getting through to her"
Lorna is beautiful with her style, she has a unique personality like no one has. Hope good future for her.
Can't believe no one is commenting on the truly wild part where Benjamin made her lie in a coffin and took photos of her in it?!?! One of the strangest things I've ever seen on this show!!!
lafillenoir he’s the worst ‘therapist’ I’ve ever seen
Why is it crazy? She is difficult to get through to and so he decided on a shock tactic. Don't kid yourself, all of us will end up dead in a coffin, including you. Deal with it.
He looked like a serial killer taking photos of his latest victim!
@@anonymousforever way to completely miss the point!! 🙄🤦🏻♀️
Ah. You should look up "South korea living funeral" where people pay good money to lie in coffins, take funeral pictures and write wills.
It makes me furious. Rich "entrepreneurs" go bankrupt multiple times, and don't pay their debts. Poor people are loathe to turn to the government for financial help, and are shamed for it. Yet Multi billion dollar companies turn to the government for bail outs, at the first sign of trouble. Yet they barely pay tax. They rely on the tax paid by their employees, who are underpaid already. It's disgusting. We need a worldwide revolution.
rebecca delbridge my sentiments exactly.
Hopefully soon we will see a revolution from the proletariat. No more wage slavery and an end to this bs capitalist system that only benefits the bourgeoisie.
@@margaux8704 you're more than welcome to try one of the revolutionised communist countries such as Cuba or China, we wouldn't want you feeling oppressed in our capitalist structures.
@@missmcphee8859 You've been propagandized to believe Cuba is much worse than it is. Also, China is a state capitalist country, not communist. You can at least get your facts right before taking time out of your day to comment back nonsense to me.
@@margaux8704 Obviously you have never been to Cuba and China is NOT a capitalist country . The Communist party retains control of China. So before you run your mouth get your facts straight because you are the idiot.
Good on Lorna for standing up for herself! Of course she was going to pay for the puppy's treatment...as should anyone who has a pet. There are other things to cut back on for sure...vet bills is not one of them.
Sarah Langham if it meant keeping my house I’d have sent that pack of shit-machines to be ground up and fed to tramps lol
It's nothing to do with selling or getting rid of the puppy! He was using the situation as a metaphor for her past.
@@Dessan01 Sincerely hope you never get a pet...
@Stephanie Cooke I won’t they are horrible things, and I think the owners are obnoxious selfish mother fuckers who let them shit on other people’s grass verge and walk off.
Dessan01 because they can’t take care of themselves. If you don’t have the responsibility to take care of another live, pls don’t get a pet
It is concerning that the children can’t go a week without buying a ‘treat’ 😳 They are being set up for a lifestyle of spending too. 😢
She’s so pretty and her smile is everything and I’m so glad she stood up to that guy when he suggested to put her dog down
Don't think much of Jay for suggesting she should have put that puppy down when she could be saved! However I do agree that Lorna does have too many dogs to care for
It's insane to have that many dogs unless she were a certified animal rehabber who was running a non-profit. However, it was wild that Jay thought she should have euthanized the puppy.
Oh my goodness, Lorna is stunning! Her style is amazing, and her voice is smooth and comforting like soft butter...
Here’s the thing about pet ownership- if you don’t have the funds to cover unexpected emergencies you shouldn’t have that many pets. I would never say “let them die/suffer” but she needs to re-home some of them to a number that is more manageable for her to support . Priority is to take care of her children, and then if she can afford a pet or two - great 👍🏻
Couldn't agree more!
I think that’s exactly the point Jay was trying to make. It isn’t that she shouldn’t have taken care of her pet, it’s that she doesn’t have a slush fund if you will to take care of expenses that pop up and that’s not a good thing when you have kids and pets and things that do come up.
AGREED INDEED.
This is why I only have one pet.
@sw2601 she's a hoarder. Probably bred the pups to sell them couldn't let go...same as her material stuff.
Benjamin annoys me so much... like he just makes people feel uncomfortable for no reason and justifies it with psychobabble... and no matter what they do it has some negative meaning. Like when she was calm in the coffin he construed it as her being out of touch with reality, if she freaked out it would be some other problem i am sure
You seem to be under impression that psychotherapy is talking about things that are comfortable. As we see only a fraction of what was probably really talked about, then it is very difficult to say what kind of methods Benjamin uses.
@@eevaaasa8897 well I understand talking about your past issues but on a public tv show it would be very difficult and kudos to her for managing it. But the challenges were worthless. Like the bit where he makes her do a heights course and keeps offering help & calling her out for not accepting. It's well within her right (and probably wise) to not accept help from a guy she barely knows. Also it was an individual course and physically no way he could help except maybe by pushing her off things?
@@Angela-lp3lz the challenges could seem worthless without the context they are performed in. I do agree that some of them do seem very weird and somewhat out of place, but I tend to think that they are not only done for the show purposes. I assume that these five weeks that are spent on correcting people's behavior are quite intense for the participants. And I also agree on the courage of sharing personal stuff in national TV, some of the participants actually do not agree on this, in some other episodes this is done mostly privately. Then the challenges make even less sense, but people seem to be happy about it, so who am I to judge.
Yes, I just skip over that part. Yawn...
I find him irritating as well but I think it's more relating to bed side manner. I'm sure he's trained properly but he's got this sort of deadpan nihilist way of speaking which annoys the shit out of me
Ok but Lorna was keeping us FED with these Fashion Moments
I have to admit, I DO LOVE the fact that she has a room for a closet and it's filled with so many clothes that are her style. Though I may be biased because I have a room for a closet full of clothes and shoes too which are clothes accumulated for over two decades of discount store shopping and thrifting since my style dictates such. But, I'm not in debt over it. Fact of the matter is, as she pays off her debt, she has SO much that she can still enjoy by shopping in her closet.
She’s such a lovely person but I can’t help be feel frustrated that she’s accumulated all this debt and had the house with children flooded with clothes.. can’t even go upstairs! it’s rather sad.
The stairs needed to be cleared out. That's a fire escape hazard. She's a lovely person and has been through trauma and that's often what's at the basis of hoarding.
I don’t think there’s much you can tell a woman who takes advantage of her parents, put your children in jeopardy of being homeless, all for the sake of by herself meaningless “beautiful things”. But the main thing is take a look at her character, she’s willing to risk her children having a place to stay or a roof over her own head for what? For what?
Benjamin is a really wack psychologist. He goes "ah! Found trauma. Thats it" and people are like no it doesnt brother me that much im fine and Benjamin just does anything in his power to convinced them that they have trauma like tf
Professioal gaslighter.......
Don't be silly. Lorna has a problem, he's looked into what might be the cause. The fact that she is ok with sitting and lying in a coffin says she is comfortable with death, too comfortable, and not committed enough to living with consequences. The reason she has been living in suspension is because she doesn't face her debt she's in a fantasy. I think he got her to confront these issues in a very tactful and supportive way.
I agree, he's terrible!
Love watching these again some 15+ years later and how folks deal with their addiction to spending. If only the banks had watched them and stopped giving people ridiculous credit, the banking collapse could've been avoided.
The banks knew it was coming, knew they'd be fine.
She would make a fortune selling on etsy of ebay
Elisa Hamilton I just googled her and she has her own retail shop. She’s also a photographer, model, actress and does extras work.
@@janedoe133 It looks like the shop has now closed down.
@@JESSLYNW1 It's closed NOW. But opens at 9 am.
@@janedoe133 it seems like she's giving sewing and design lessons now... www.kentadulteducation.co.uk/brands/mnid_907/Miss-Lorna-Summers.aspx
I sell things on ebay. So easy.
Psych expert? I wouldnt let someone as freaky as that convince me to get into a coffin. That guy would psychoanalyze a fart and conclude it was because of a bad childhood.
OMG! I guess this was a failed attempt to be funny but you just show how ignorant you are. Did you watch it with the sound off or was it your brain off while watching?
@@evanatbri-s13no he's terrible. He's always looking for something nasty in their childhoods, when most of the time they just love shopping.
Mad to think being in £39,000 worth of debt was the “norm” 15 years ago. These days even if you owe £5,000 you’ll end up on ‘Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away!’ No wonder we hit a recession back then
This may be the most rewarding episode ive seen. What an adorable sweetie pie. Excellent to see her shifting towards whats better for her 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 i hope she follows her creativity for LIFE
OMG a new episode!!! Today I screwed up a job interview and this is all I need right now.
BlackNight603 you never know you might not have done as bad as you think keep positive
I really hope you get the job, or if not this one, an even better one. 💪You got this. ♥️
Did you get the job? If not did you get another one ?
They don’t seem to understand that she isn’t buying clothes to WEAR them. She’s a collector, like a magpie. Maybe if they understood that they’d actually be able to help her.
I watch this show and laugh at the amount of debt these people are in. They need this show here in the US where many of us have like $100-150K in debt……lol
You should cry
Jay Hunt has obviously never owned a dog or any other pet for that matter the love you have for a dog is unconditional .
Angela Wallace I couldn't agree more. I spent a fortune when my rabbit was ill and I don't regret it.
The majority of pet owners would not pay an arm and a leg to save a pet. What that means depends on the owner, but if you e.g. go to a middle-class dog owner, and ask them if they'd spend 50 000£ to save the dog, 99% would say no. That wasn't the situation here, the lady in the show could take debt to pay for the dog's treatment and the sum wasn't particularly large, but saying stuff like "the love you have for your dog is unconditional" as if most pet owners would do anything for their pet is bullshit
It is important to have insurance to help cover vet bills.
Okay, maybe she shouldn't have that many dogs, but it doesn't mean she should just put them to sleep. wtf is wrong with that guy?
And when he said she was saving the puppy was an extension of herself and her illness. No she saved the puppy because it's a living animal and deserves love care and compassion
He didn't say to put it to sleep. She should rehome it.
Tiger Lilly he’s a dick
Or go to another vet for another quote thats what someone else did on this show
It's entirely this woman's fault and you should blame her for choosing to own so many animals on such a low income. If she pays for that dog's veteranarian bills and loses her home as a result not only will she suffer but her children will to. Her children have to come first and so does her having a roof over her head. You shouldn't be blaming the therapists for this. They are just trying to save her from complete financial ruin. No doubt those dogs are inevitably going to end up someone else's responsibility anyhow. She can't continue to care for 18 animals on the income she has.
I really want an update. Hope she managed to pay off the debts.
I hope so too. Her Instagram shows she may have found a man at least
Shopping in woolworths shows how old the show is !
I used to love shopping in woolworths. Was gutted when it shut. Toys R Us too.
We have woolworths and toys r us in south africa
@@nontobekomathabela8207 is south africa where chain stores go to die
I would never ever put my dogs down if I could save them, only if the dog had a quality of life afterwards!
Only a real dog lover could understand this, I lost my little dog with cancer because she wasn’t curable, still heartbroken 😔
Our pets are family too🐶🐱when I lost my cat Smudge my heart broke and yrs ltr I still miss him and love him and there's a certain beauty in that.
I agree. My dog was diagnosed with terminal cancer at 15. Everyone told me to put him down. I didn't. He was finally put down at 18 but for the 3 years after the diagnoses, he was a happy dog, no pain, still doing everything he was before diagnoses because I made sure he was taken care of. When he was 18, I knew he had enough as within 24 hours his health went downhill and his eyes told me he had enough. I then called the vet to the house to put him to sleep.
I also had a house rabbit who had the age of 1 was diagnosed with a genetic condition. They said he wouldnt live much longer and to put him to sleep. His meds cost me £150 a month but he died at the age of 5. Again being happy and going downhill with hours. I still dont regret spending the money , time and effort to let them live as long as they could.
@@deealex1402 children are human beings. don't compare a baby to a shit eating dog.
@@strawberrie6491 don't be an asshole.
she can't afford to have dogs.
What i have noticed in this programme, is alot of them are on seriously low salaries, taking in £900 a month for a family of 3 even 10-15 years ago. Its hardly a surprise they are struggling and getting into debt, although they don't help themselves with excessive clothing budgets.
She could get a boarder in and that would alleviate a lot of the financial stress. Hopefully she has sold off most of the excess clothing and shoes, and has done that with her space.
finally! a self-confessed 'shopaholic' who at least looks stylish 😒
Her voice was so soothing, could've made a killing as an ASMR youtuber lol
She sounds just like a friend of mine from Suffolk, dont know if it's an accent, dont think it said where shes originally from?
Completely agree. I have watched this video three times because her voice is relaxing to me…
such interesting style as a fairy from a children's fairy tale
Yes... but she is Lovely.
Like a witch
Yes she is still littlegirl .crappy taste
I thought she looks like an elf or fairy too..
I think shes the most likeable person on any of the episodes I've seen
she's likeable and i empathize with her but it gets into egregious territority when you have two young kids and you're not putting yourself through more of a reality check than she seemed to. but i suppose by participating in the show she was trying to accomplish that.
She's a very pretty and lovely lady. Good style and good taste.😃 Very pleasant and delightful. It's hard for us humans to rationalize traumatic events that happen to us. Our minds try to make sense out of situations that aren't fair. I'm so glad she's got some tools to help her deal and make her life a beautiful one. Her hat she made at the end is so amazing! I want one!!!
She looks a mess.
OMG! He comes out with a load of rubbish! I was quite annoyed with her at the beginning, having all those dogs and being totally blaze about her debts, but to be subjected to that pointless psychobabble from the useless Benjamin made me feel very sorry for her. I hope she gets through these financial problems.
When my cat got ill I spent over £2000 to save him. Mind you, at that time I had an income of £900/month. Not in a million years did I contemplate to let him die because of money. I paid the money in instalments and had him for another 10 years by my side. Having a pet is a responsibility that costs money. I do agree that Lorna has too many pets, but that doesn’t mean she should let them die. Maybe she could give away/sell the puppies...
Dear TV producers - please make a contrasting programme about me, I’m addicted to not spending money. I’m the worlds biggest mizer.
I always feel like the pyschologist has to find someone else to blame...maybe adulting isnt always as much fun as we hoped it would as a kid...people always look for an escape now and again...not rocket science.
The truth is, many of the things we suffer from as adults have roots in childhood trauma. We’re not born with these things, so yes, parents or other adults were responsible when we were our children for planting certain things we tend to carry around when we grow up.
I agree, I really don't think much of Benjamin's psychobubble. I had a wonderful childhood and yet I love shopping and got in debt myself. No skeletons in the cupboard.
Thankfully I've sorted it out now.
I think Lorna
is her own best advice giver - her responses are much clearer!
Keep caring and being yourself Lorna!
Thank god! I watched slum landlords and tenenants, Can't Pay won't pay, I needed this to keep up my feeling shit about society and people.

Clever lady
@@eatingyumyum wow now that’s clever
The therapy session was shocking to me! A coffin? I would NEVER! But this woman did not give me the sentiment that she will change anything
This woman is certifiably crazy 😝. 18 dogs and 10 puppies - that’s just madness! I can just about cope with a 9 month bichon! 😂😂😂. Absolute madness!
Madness for others maybe… but not for some☺️
I'd stay in debt to save my dogs. Their suggestions in regards to the dogs are inhumane
What if you had to choose between selling your house, leaving you, your kids and your dogs homeless, or letting the dog go? Because that's not far from the situation where the lady in the show was
Her voice is so smooth and relaxing x
She is still waiting to start her life.
She is, in fact, caught between the old- age of youth and the youth of old- age ,as almost all of us will be.
Benjamin Fry should be DEEPLY emberassed by this episode! cant believe his solution is putting the dog to sleep to save money.
is he for real???
I have 4 dogs and people think I’m nuts. Her quantity of dogs is pretty shocking to me. I guess the rules must be different in the UK, but in the US in most cities you are not even allowed to have more than three dogs even if you have your own house. This would be considered animal hoarding. Even if she feeds and houses them, 18 dogs is waaay too many to responsibly be able to love and care for properly.
Just got to say the coffin bit creeped me out. Claustrophobia😱
Heck, I’d buy the sparkly two piece for festivals. It’s very pretty. Not for everyone but I like it :)
I really like this woman- I bet we would get along famously. That said, she should expect more from herself. She owes it to her kids to be the best version of herself and to make sure her future is secure so they don’t have to worry.
Projecting herself in the dog? These people are arse holes. Your dog is sick you need to pay to cure them. There's no national health for animals but she should have pet insurance because there's so many. If they all fell ill at the same time she would have to sell her house. I spent a fortune on tests xrays special diet for my dog. Worth it. She's 7 years old and I wouldn't have considered putting her to sleep any more than I would if one of my children had the same condition. They're not "only dogs" they're a part of your heart and your family. I'd have punched that pseudo psychologist right in his smug face
All these comments are laughable. These tv shows are over 10 uears old. Ans why can't a 40 y.o mother wear a flashy bikini?
Lame
Not the Doctor I kinda agree, she is pretty Gorgeous
Major lame .
When did anyone say she can't wear it? The woman in the show says she shouldn't own it because she never uses it, and should sell it instead
she's my favourite, gorgeous appearance, gorgeous soul, I hope she'll be successful with her new business
Lorna is a beautiful woman, with a lovely manner. She was sickly in her childhood, and deserves to enjoy her life now. Bless her☘🧚♂️🇮🇪
But the hat looks as kids in kindergarten created out of the eastereggs after they ate the candy... 😳
I had to nod at 'that far ahead will arrive'. It happens. I was so lucky to be offered a debt management plan. Now I'm comfortably retired and my policy is debit card only.
It must have been so embarrassing for her to go out in public and have people look at how much in debt she might get to. This show needs new helpers if they do another season
Their comments after she saved her little puppy were unacceptable. She didn’t just ‘go over budget’ her dog’s health was an unexpected emergency and she was doing the right thing as a responsible pet owner. The guy in this is such a blagger, he’s ridiculously annoying, makes everything up as he goes along. Any decent person would help the puppy even if it cost them their last penny.
The responsible thing would not having all these dogs with her finances.
No medical emergency should be unexpected when you have a dog. There should never be any debt, Givealittle page etc for vet treatment. You know that that might happen when you get the pet! I've come across so many people who are terrible with money - even renting! - then have an "unexpected" vet bill and ruin their finances paying at while acting like they are saints for rescuing their animal. So silly.
Being bailed out by her parents at her age! Disgraceful
'It feels really really strange paying with cash. I'm much more comfortable paying on my card, because that's not so real'. And that's the delusion that has caused her to get in to this mess. People spend more frivolously with cards than cash. Because it's not so real.
I too love clothes but I've never been in much debt as it scares me too much. I have tips on how to cut down on clothes buying, some of which are already known as good advice.
Don't buy it there and then unless it is something you need, and/or a really good bargain and you love it and would wear it a lot/keep it a long time for those special occasions. It's better to wait at least until the next day or one week if possible. You may miss out but have the satisfaction of keeping the cash. Be prepared to take things back, even bargains.
Don't clutter up your space. It's amazing how tatty your house/room looks with all this 'stuff' and gets in the way of cleaning and sorting. Look through interiors to inspire you to get rid of things you don't use and make your home nicer.
Lorna is creative and has skills to alter and remake clothes she already has. A dress into a skirt and top, alter trousers and other clothes, customise, make her children unique things. This will also keep her busy and away from the shops. Also, I find looking at top designer collections inspires me, but also puts me off shopping as the high street versions are generally not as beautiful and a bit dull. Have high standards in quality and materials.
Look at designer collections and try to emulate looks you like, but on a budget. If you have good colour sense and know what style suits you and your life, this is easily done. Try to buy several items that you can mix and match in one season. These are your go too's. Then find other items you already have that go with them or contrast when you have more time.
Lorna should keep all her jewellery as what she doesn't wear will come back round (like now dainty gold jewellery has been in but statement earrings are coming back, and big necklaces0. If you don't like it now, use beads and necklaces to customise other clothes. It's easy to sew on most beads, and makes an old item look 'designery'. Keep brooches, they make good clips to pull in garments. Keep beaded bags, they used to be cheaply found but now are expensive. Fashion is only reinventing itself now, with prices ever rising. Just have a storage space if you can, and pack things away so when you take them out, they feel new.
Nowadays, we know a lot more about sustainability, so don't buy so much and look at the material, and where it is made. This hones down a lot what you buy. Look for quality,, breathable fabrics that will wash and last well.
Wash delicate or loved items by hand. Don't stick them in the dryer, halves their life.
Sell what you haven't worn in a season, or give it to charity. Use the money for a fund to buy better quality items when you see them in the future.
Be a good example to the kids and don't get in debt. Teach them and be an example for money management. The future is bleak for them, don't teach them to love 'stuff', teach them to shop carefully, save money and care for the planet and environment.
Why wouldn't she not spend it on her sick dog. She would be a horrible person not to do it. The female presenter is so insensitive.
That's how people working with numbers usually are - insensitive and detached.
I think people can make really stupid decisions buying dogs etc without a good income, and thousands of dollars for vet treatment is part of that. A dog is a dog.
I know a lady who made seriously gorgeous hats, but still couldn't get the business to pay. It's all about the promotion and marketing, less about stockpiling your ideas.
She makes hats, and she enjoys her artistic talent, why not open a web site store and sell her craft. Use the money to pay off her debt. I see myself in her. Hummmmm, I have a clothing bedroom too, but mines all paid for. I budget for my things, and shop once every six months. ( I make my six month shopping trip in to an event. I save up and then spend the day shopping 🛍 then dinner afterwards.)
Great idea , I think I'm gonna do this too ahhaha
Not good in 2020😳
@@ifukill7538 This was filmed years ago.
What did she expect for Lorna to do with the dog? Let it suffer?
This psychologist is horrible, he asks way too little and makes conclusions so fast. Which he puts into their head immediately.
I'm sure there is a lot of the process which is done off camera to give the person some privacy as I'm sure they wouldn't want every ounce of their lives aired on tv. They no doubt only put the highlights in the show.
And he’s so creepy!!! Ugh!!!
Anna Wouters I don’t even think he’s really a psychologist.
He's not a psychologist. He doesn't have any formal qualifications in the area. That's part of the problem
I once heard he went through therapy himself and he decided to do it as a job, frozen trauma is his thing. www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-2376132/TV-psychotherapist-Benjamin-Fry-devastated-depression-Then-discovered-radical-new-treatment.html. only saying it works for everyone and if it helps it helps. But other things work as well different things help different people
I am actually quite surprised how compassionate and positive these comments are in regards to this particular episode. Especially since she is choosing to be so irresponsible and have so many dogs in that crowded space (it is not okay to do that to animals/is rather selfish to have them if you can't provide basic needs) and also has two children to look after. I do however commend her for standing her ground with the therapist about saving her dog no matter what. It seems she enjoys being a 'professional student'/ using her parents for money. I know the type. They are always in school because the idea of work of any kind seems to scare them. Imagine being content to bring in $988 for a household of three and a whole bunch of pets.
It seems like a bunch of coddling going on since she has a 'cool style and personality'. It must be nice to get a pass for reckless behavior due to such shallow reasons.
The larger the number of dogs - the stronger the doggy smell - ugh!
Agree
Things in my past made me feel safer if I have lots of things I love around me. Not all people who've had upsetting pasts feel like it but lots do.
I agree - this woman is awful
I'd re mortgage my home for my cat! But all that stuff is a trip and fire hazard..where are the kids in all this stuff?
Good on Ya Lorna...
I think Benjamin is so constructive & adds humour to this series....
I was in debt myself once & kept spending on Credit card...
Thankfully now I no longer have them...
I am a hoarder of vintage things & need to sell more stuff....
Lorna has a lovely house,children & doggies...
It would be awful to lose the house....
Onward & upward!🤗
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Artistic ambitions are great but they don't pay your bills.
Grow up and get a job and stop pretending to be a fairy princess you are a adult.
Parents did her no favors by bailing her out.
This is nuts. I've made art all my life and even taught a few classes. Finding ways to use what's around and upcycling is a great way to go. People give me clothes, junk jewelry, fabric, beads, buttons, paint, glue, and more. Tina, Al's wife
I think Benjamin is enjoying the coffin exercise too much. Those Polaroids!!!!!
Sheesh. I don’t even have kids and I know that once you become a parent, you don’t get to do whatever you want and when you want anymore. That includes spending and buying yourself things you want, not NEED.
You want a $75 pair of shoes? Too bad, your kids need new shoes because they’re growing. It’s plain irresponsible to rack up that much debt on non-necessities when you have two kids to house, clothe and feed.
How about making sure the bills are paid, kids are clothed properly and fed, THEN save for those boots? Being a mom doesn't mean you have to completely neglect your wants and needs. There's a balance to life.
Some women think parents, exes, benefits owes them because they are "mothers". As if they are doing us all a huge favor.
Unde Derayda exactly!
Absolutely Ridiculous Yes, but racking up debt and risking your home is not the same thing as saving up for something after debts and needs for yourself and kids.
Essentials such as food, electricity etc should take priority over more clothes and pets. If you can’t afford vet bills don’t get a pet!
Fear of death, yet not saving or making a nest egg for her kids? I'm not buying it.
Yeah it's a cop out, and if she thinks she's going to die, why is she buying clothes she's not even going to wear?
"Live like there is no tomorrow because you are terrified of dying" kinda thing. A very common reaction.
loving the fact one she’s very very beautiful and posh
And two is taking me down memory lane because of it being in Herne Bay (grandparents, Christmas ,chips and strawberry milkshakes form the restaurant on the corner) 😍😊😍xx
Five bedroom house on £900 a month, two kids and loads of animals?? Wtf?
Why are they so upset with her trying to help her dog feel better and have a great quality of life?? Like I get having over 10 dogs is crazy, but the dog was sick and was able to save her dog. Ben pisses me off with his attitude towards the dogs. I have a dog myself who has saved me thru one of the roughest times of my life and if someone had even hinted at putting him down for something that can be fixed, I would be angry and crying.
These people were disgusting in relation to the vet bill for her puppy. That's what it is to have a pet, sometimes unexpected things happen and you have your budget blown to save a life if you haven't already put money aside for it. Some people are able to let go of a pet if they can't afford treatment but so many others will happily go into debt to save them. A gross lack of compassion from these hosts.
Well it is pretty stupid to go into significant debt because of a pet. Ideally people wouldn't be getting animals in the first place without good solid incomes...
I guess I got a different feel from the creepy guy. I think his goal was more to push her to her limit than to say she should put the dog down. That and to actually take a moment to figure out a different solution for a situation that really has no alternatives.
Beautiful, vivacious lady. Good for her for saving her dogs and living life to the full.
Oh no the coffin we all end up in there 1 day😂😂
She is beautiful and good on her for saving her dogs life . Hope she succeeds with life . All men are not bad
Loved this particular episode and really hoped it worked out well for her as she’s just lovely.
She is a maniac
I have a major issue with this woman even suggesting that she rent out one of her rooms. Does she realize the statistics of the dangers she would be putting her children in bringing a stranger into their living quarters??? The chances of her daughter being molested rises exponentially if it is a male and her son could be exposed if is a female. Then you have to consider if they use drugs and once they are living there you just can't kick them out even if they don't pay their rent. You have to go through an eviction process which another story altogether.
"The chances of her daughter being molested rises exponentially if it is a male and her son could be exposed if is a female." not how it works lmao. but good point.
A lot of women are child molesters. Of boys and girls. Nobody talks about it though or particularly cares.
I was confused at first... thought this was an episode of The Hoarder Next Door rather than Spendaholics
(I recognise her though... did she end up on Hoarders?)
Woolworths 😢
I’m angry about Jay getting annoyed at the fact that she spent extra for her own puppy. I do agree that she has too many dogs but I don’t want them dead!
I had to stop watching, the presenters attitude towards the dog needing treatment was sickening. If I was Lorna I would've walked out.
A dog is a dog...if someone's home or family is going neglected because the money for expensive vet treatment isn't there, a decision will need to be made. Ideally people wouldn't get themselves into these silly situations with pets anyway without a really good income. In my experience a lot of peoplewho are terrible with money get themselves pets and think they are saints for paying $5000 vet bills 🙄
@@vanderbam2741what do you mean a dog is a dog? For many people a dog is a lifeline, especially if they don't have children. If you were to count up how much the average parent spends on one child compared to a dog, I think you'll find there's a huge difference.
Children are spoiled, entitled, selfish,rude brats most of the time. I know, because I've taught so many of them.
Give me a dog anytime. They love you unconditionally and are truly loyal. If we have to take them to the vets, we don't feel like marters, we just want them to get better.
I despise people like you!
“One of ten puppies” “let it go”... yeah she’s got spare, just let it die. Geez therapist is clearly not an animal person!
That's like saying, "You've got other kids. . ."
I could never talk like that about a pet either and yes pets are just like children... but that being said people wouldn’t be happy with her if she had 18 children either... debt or not
@Nanette Morton
Pets are not human children. You obviously don't have children or any close human relationships.
@@Billybloop bit harsh lots of people feel as close to animals as they do their other family members
It is a living being that you take care of after all
He is an arsehole. My old therapist was a retired psychology professor and dog owner.
Her parents never should have bailed her out because she did not learn anything from it. Her parents lost money and she racked up her debt again.
Her parents will have done it for their grandchildren.
Don't feel bad for spending extra money for food , for children or animals! 💖💖💖💖
If jay wasn’t so patronising this show would be okay
Elizabeth Rennick idk how he became a host he has the personally of a crypt keeper

I think they seemed jealous of her style & life.
Hope Lorna, children and animals are safe and happy 😊
Btw, Kent is a well expensive place to live and that house is quackin massive!!! Move, downsize, use the courses u have already done to get a job u will probably even enjoy, whoop whoop!!!
