Scotland is home to yummy-mummy, 36-year-old Lorraine. Forget desperate housewives, Lorraine loves a bit of glamour, dressing up no matter the cost. Even her 2-year-old daughter, Olivia is dressed in top fashions from plush catalogs. Lorraine’s gone from full-time advertising exec to full-time mum, losing her £35,000 salary hasn’t affected her spending, although it has affected her husband. In just two years, Lorraine has piled up over £20,000 worth of debt. It’s putting a strain on the overdraft as well as her marriage.

    They're talking like organic eggs and Tesco finest pizzas are what's breaking the bank, not the Chanel and Clarins make-up and Jo Malone perfume...

    Kids today will never know the excitement of getting the Autumn/Winter catalogues and methodically noting down all the catalog numbers of your favourite toys for Father Christmas.

    I used to work in a department store and it was shocking to see designer clothes for toddlers who would grow out of them in a few months. I couldn't believe people threw away money like that. Second-hand stores are a God-send for kids' clothes. You can find good stuff inexpensively and donate it again when the kids grow out of it.
  • She is amazing! To be able to be confronted on camera and respond with grace and dignity AND make such significant changes demonstrates strong character. Well done! She inspired me!
  • @meiyuc22
    her house was quite minimalistic and not cluttered. very nice.
  • @bethje30
    Why doesn't she start working again, she could easily do it with her youngest 2 years old? She is just bored, I know exactly how she feels, boredom makes you shop, eat, drink even. I don't think it's her family history at all...
  • @avakerry431
    I mean it might be 'cause I'm Italian... but spending on good food is probably the only thing they can't complain about. She does well in feeding her familiy and herself the best she can find. Good food and artisan made shoes, that's what my nana taught me ahah :D
  • @biancac6274
    What kind of a psychologist is he? She can’t answer a single one of his questions without him talking over her. Sounds like a great practice! Ask a patient to open up and when they do, cut them off and talk over them. May as well have just handed her a script to follow.
  • @user-gl9iw1fv2h
    This episode showed that it's not the 2000s fashion that made ppl look ridiculous, but a lack of taste. Lorraine doesn't look tacky or weird at all.
  • @solarlola5953
    Lol that therapist keeps thinking everything means something psychologically deep . Even groceries in the fridge 😂
  • @sonaterese799
    I was thrilled that in this episode Jay suggested home sewing as a way of saving money and moving forward. I have often wodered why the suggestion has not been made to many of the shopaholics, as it is rewarding and is a way that enables home sewers to wear unique clothes for a fraction of the price of shop bought rubbish
  • @lindayeh2068
    The fact that Benjamin was prepared to give him his "analysis" without listening to what she had to say is extremely unprofessional to me. He had it all figured out and implanted his thoughts into hers. EEK.
  • @naomipower9166
    Well done, I say. They less you spend , the more time you get to enjoy what you have. The happier you are with yourself the less consumed you are with spending. Hats off to this woman who recognised her spending problem. You’re only making rich people richer by spending on “stuff” you don’t really need.
  • @camdenamen
    She's under fulfilled and unfortunately going from a high paying job to a stay at home mum is a big change so she spends just like she did when she worked. She needs a new job/hobby and something else to do. If I was her hubby I'd limit the budget. It would be a whole lot worse if internet shopping was available back then I'm sure. Hope she sorted herself out
  • @kelcyboo9778
    Him interrupting her is actually driving me crazy
  • @djfhfh
    Why so many comments about her appearance tho? It's a show about someone who's addicted to shopping nothing to do about being good looking or not. Which she is a pretty lady anyway. After poor Caroline flack death didn't take too long before people were back to being nasty about people. She didn't ask anyone's opinions on if rather they find her attractive or not that has nothing to do with the show... #bekind
  • @jesussaves6625
    I love the idea of making her own clothing. It's actually amazing that so many people don't know how to sew anymore, or do many basic skills on their own.
