How the other half live

[MollieO]

Bit of a tv evening for me tonight! Anyone else watching?

hippo same here re salary and payouts. We manage just fine.
My boys share a room. Tbh, the disturbance would have to be extreme for me to remove one of them from the room, but if it came to that, then one of them would have our room, simple as.

Must be a reason why she doesn't work even part time to fit around nursery.

According to the given figures - the poor family are on about £25k a year.

Bloody hell! Another holiday!

Can they sponsor me.?

Wow and a bedroom?

aw, i do like brandon...

CloudDragon, I thought that too.

'Made in Scotland' makes for much better viewing!

They didn't seem happy with the partition.

OMG a trust fund! That really sums up what the wealthy family think of the others - ie can't be trusted to spend the donated money wisely.

trust fund...obviously don't trust the parents!

The trust funds are a very clever idea though! That should keep the mother's hands off the childrens money. I just hope they chose the trustees carefully.

They have over 1600 a month yet they have very little cutlery...what? You can get 24 piece cutlery sets from ikea for less than a tenner!

Sorry, have been trying not to be judgemental, but that tipped me over the edge

Can't believe that they have received £5,000 and still not bought school uniform.

that mechanised loom is wicked! and he's got this awesome application for the Mac for designing tartans.

all the kids are sweet, eh?

Trust fund is a great idea.

I thought it was a bit weird they didn't have cutlery. You can pick it up in Argos for £5.

Wow I have a lump in my throat from this. Ah bless at him seeing his own bedroom.

you're right aitch they are lovely,

but what a comment.. without disturbing my mum, surely it should be the other way round.

Maybe the mother has mental health problems and can't work but didn't want it shown on the programme.

presumably they have enough for them, just not for guests.

ooh - no wonder that family are loaded. His dad started Pimlico Plumbers.

I bought a set of cutlery the other week from asda for £3

she would still have had £4997 left......

trust fund idea was genius. hope it ensures the boys get the things they deserve. not sure the mum was impressed though, she was probably expecting them to fund her skincream business

Very pleased that Brandon now has his own bedroom and somewhere to do his homework. Clearly a bright lad.

Have worn my judgey pants throughout this episode and I'm very disappointed that there is no real happy ending. No mention of mum's skincare business at all other than the justification to buy the computer in the first place. No voiceover at the end stating future plans.

I wonder if they'll ever feature a family who is working poor? Probably not.

at skincare business. she was hardly a good advert.
