Love this series. Back next Sunday

tho the rich families who own their own business etc - I hope they don’t do the usual ‘free training’ to the poorer families and then get them to start their own companies

Why is one house doing their camera diaries on a settee

They've always done it in the bathrooms before

How do they spend just £30 on food a week

He's been in a supermarket 3 times in 25 years

Surely not

purpleme12 · 10/02/2026 22:47

The spaghetti Bolognese looks nice

I wonder if they already had the ingredients in the house for it

purpleme12 · 10/02/2026 22:47

It's a longer episode than usual

Haven’t seen this series yet. The last few series have been cringeworthy poverty porn - the Rich family with their ‘property empires’, mortgaged up to the hilt, offering their seminars on how others can become property magnates. ( Also mortgaged to the hilt). There was a family a few years ago, same formula, who bestowed their wisdom to the poverty stricken family they swapped with. They then did a post Covid follow up where they admitted they nearly lost the lot during Covid as tenants couldn’t pay rent so they couldn’t pay the mortgages. So, all a bit smoke and mirrors really.

I do seriously want them to write down what they buy and make and how for £30 a week.
Cos I want to do it too!

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/02/2026 23:57

Yes £30 for the 3 of them. Not quite sure that was right

I had a look at the valeting company account on TikTok. It hasn’t been updated since last year and no contact details. He’s either doing so well he doesn’t need SM, or it’s no longer a viable business. Hopefully he’s done well at it.

Seems I didn’t do this last night.

sure I did. Might be on another thread

Wow the house this week!
A floor that turns into a swimming pool!!

MyballsareSandy2015 · 16/02/2026 20:56

It was a strange house! Beautiful outside and gorgeous grounds but I couldn’t live with that dark decor.

And I also couldn’t bear to have someone serving me dinner and pouring wine.

He seemed like a lovely guy though and really helped that family out.

“Rich” family, they refused as it’s not their thing at all to splash their lives all over tv.

Sensible.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/02/2026 20:44

How can they owe over £2k in gas and phones over £1000. Is that as all new iPhones and hadn’t paid heating for over a year

I did notice the teens has fake nails which is usually a 25/30 cost every 3weeks or so

Plasterers usually charge £250/400 a day so why are they both so poor

no mention of wife or daughter so guessing divorced as he worked do much

guessing they will pay the bill off and buy a van

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 18/02/2026 21:48

I was right. Steve is a lovely man to do all that

tho didn’t understand why changed their name on their business as it’s also known as https://www.facebook.com/share/1Ts4g4AQiH/?mibextid=wwXIfr on Facebook

but wish them success.

let’s hope for an update in a year for this series

Well if they only ate half of the spaghetti on toast they can't have been that hungry anyway 😆

purpleme12 · 19/02/2026 12:29

Why do they put adverts in such weird places sometimes when you watch on catch up?!
They've just cut to adverts in the middle of a sentence!!

purpleme12 · 19/02/2026 12:31

'techy partners' 😆
