Rich house poor house - Sunday ch5 9pm or 10pm+1

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Robert and Emily and daughter EMILY swap homes and budgets with siobhan and ANDY and their 3 children

My only moan is that they don’t swap with same number of children

Be good for rich kids to share a bedroom like the poor usually do

Yes they often say the poorer families have 2/3 kids. It’s the first an accident :happy surprise

But then stop their training etx - struggling with bills etx

But then have another 1/2 kids

S6 e5

Successful owners of a East Sussex beauty clinic leave their Porsche and swap with a single mum

Did you warm to either family?

I’m at work (rare for a Sunday night) so haven’t seen yet

Will watch tomorrow

Did you like them ?

Single mom of one on a budget of £80 is entirely different to a family of two parents and 3 kids. I do think they should adjust the poor house money so they get the extra child benefit they would get

I keep saying. But wish they would do like for like

And as usual rich family do something nice

Wonder if they go on and have to /get asked to help poor family

I think they've stopped matching family sizes to match careers so rich family can help poor

True. They all offer help guidance training etx

With the permanent make up swap I couldn’t warm to the single parent. I feel bad but it felt like old habits will die hard for her. I think she will constantly be in a debt cycle from being a spender.

It was very nice of the rich mum to give the poor mum training, however I don't believe lack of opportunities was her biggest problem. It was the fact that she had no idea how to budget. she could have used the weekly cash to buy something really beneficial that both her and her son needed but instead she bought seat cushions because they were there. She needed to go on that old BBC 3 show Spendaholics instead.

I'm sure in the early series when the man bought a wheelchair for the poor family he said it was against the rules. But since then it seems to be standard, and you'd look like a dick now if you did nothing, even if the poor family were a bunch of wasters.

Yes I R.E.M. that episode. Was lovely and unexpected wns sure my eyes watered

Was tonight's episode a repeat? I recognise the rich husband from somewhere and in the footage of the poor family in London, Big Ben was only partially scaffolded...

Not sure if it was a repeat but wondering why the two families didn't meet up at the end as per the other episodes?

I've just answered my own question... I checked the TV guide and it said series 2 episode 2, so an old one.... How weird.

Yes it was a repeat. The current series has finished now. The last one was last Sunday.
They didn't always used to meet up, that bit was only added later

Oh bugger it’s an old one

Tho guess as s2 i May not R.E.M. it

I only realised it was a repeat when it got to the end and they didn't meet up as usual. Don't remember seeing it first time though.

Know last nights was a repeat

But I would hardly call £176 a week poor after bills

But wow at £1600 a week

Awwwww the rich daughter sharing her takeaway with her dad as he was eating beans on toast

Know they are repeats but starts in 15m

Well off Lusaka swap with no’s let’s who are used on getting by on less then one tenth of the wealthy income
