What was your last splurge buy?
I don’t tend to splurge. I live within my means except for Christmas when I usually go all out. I do like to splash out on a nice bottle of something fizzy but the most extravagant thing I’ve ever bought is my house.
Have you ever regretted anything you’ve purchased?
I love trainers and have too many pairs to count. I once paid a fortune for a pair online and when they arrived I didn’t even like them.
How are you with managing your money?
When I was growing up we were on a tight budget so that taught me to spend carefully and plan for my future.
What's your biggest weakness when it comes to spending?
Food! I live by myself and can spend £400 on one week’s food when I only went out for some bread. You are what you eat.
What’s the most generous gift you’ve bought for someone else?
Definitely holidays. I am always whisking my friends and family all over the place. I love travelling and have been known to book things spontaneously. If you spend your money wisely you can buy memories that will last forever.
