There is no way she is running this business and not taking any profit. I brought a bed from Newton’s furniture for £845 (£580 in their sale) in January this year. Juliette buys the same bed of them and sells it for £1600. She even had the cheek to use the same pic as they do on their website. Her prices are astronomical.

Zac… hmm, maybe but I’m not sure about that. I don’t recall anyone mentioning any of that on the show, so certainly some guesswork there.

I think that she meant that she would need to earn £60k to pay for childcare and to have the same income as she does now. Nanny at £25k out of taxed income = £35k, travel to work = £2-5k, work clothes £1k?, therefore benefits of £19-22k? Sounds more reasonable.

A bit bizarre, how can she be on state benefits? Or does she just mean child allowance? Or has everything gone mad??

Yep, I watched this episode. I must say I was rather shocked too.
