0:00:05 > 0:00:07In the Welsh Valleys, times are tough.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Years of high unemployment and low wages have taken their toll.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- I was in hospital all day yesterday...- Yeah.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17..and with everything that's going on,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19I didn't even realise my electric was going.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21I woke up this morning, my electric's gone.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23I've got to leave my daughter with a neighbour.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25How much do you need to put some money in the electric?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28About £25 would sort me out, because my gas and my electric
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and just to get a little bit of food.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- And you know that's worth a tenner at best.- I know.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Oh...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Anything that's got an emotional attachment,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40they really don't want to lose.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41SHE SOBS
0:00:41 > 0:00:43And that's always good business for us.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm just checking now that this has got an appropriate hallmark,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48which it does.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51What I'm going to do...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53I promise you I'll be in on Friday.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- ..I'll lend you the 25 quid. - Thank you.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56- OK?- Thank you so much.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- But don't let me down. - I promise you, I won't. Thank you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- On your honour. See you Friday. - Thank you from my heart.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Take care. That's all right.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04- Bye.- Bye-bye.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Show me the money!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10I have £25 for gas and electric.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13£20 will pay for gas and electric and £5 for food.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Yep. So I'm a happy chappy now.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Can't you tell?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22In one of the poorest parts of Britain,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26just because you're down it doesn't mean you're out.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Right come on then, Jue. - Right, let's go.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31You can still get in shape...
0:01:34 > 0:01:35..get a tan...

0:01:38 > 0:01:39Swim!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41..splash out and see how the other half live...
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Costa Rica, we've been there.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45No, we haven't. It was Panama, wasn't it?
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Eyes down.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48..enjoy a game of bingo...
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And it's donkey's dangler...number 1!

0:01:57 > 0:02:01or just put a smile on your kid's face.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04It might take heartache and graft,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06but if you're willing to try,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09there's usually a way to get what you want...
0:02:09 > 0:02:11in Debt Valley.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24In some corners of the Welsh Valleys,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27unemployment is amongst the highest in Britain.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31On Penygarn Estate near Pontypool
0:02:31 > 0:02:33over half the residents are out of work.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37It's home to 34-year-old Maria,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40an unemployed cook and single mum of two.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Do you know what's happening today or what?- Yeah!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I'm going for a job interview.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51And what does that mean?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- You're in a new job.- You might get a new job, you might not.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- And what happens if I get the job? - Then we get more money.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- And what are we going to do with that money?- Go swimming!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02THE CHILDREN GIGGLE
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- That's where Daddy took us before. - Let's... Let's do that!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07That's where Daddy took you before. That's right, bub.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13Maria's partner Matthew drowned in an accident two years ago.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15"Proud" is a word he'd say.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17"Proud of you, proud of you.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18"You're as good as you are.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21"You know, people will love you. People will love you for you."
0:03:21 > 0:03:24While Maria goes for her interview,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26her sister Julie's on hand for the kids.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Did you do your nails?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Oh, that looks really nice.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Who's picking up the kids?- Me.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34If not, I'll have to text you quick.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Raising Seren and Jake on £200 a week benefits is a struggle.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44And there's a lot riding on today's interview.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Landing the role as a chef in a local cafe
0:03:51 > 0:03:53would be a dream come true.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I'm trying to be confident.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59You know, it's a chance of a good job, something I love.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02And if I mess up, I've only got myself to blame for it.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03But I'm not going to mess it up.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I'm going to do good. It's going to be all right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Maria's one of six applicants on the shortlist
0:04:09 > 0:04:11and it's the 50th job she's applied for
0:04:11 > 0:04:13in the last six months.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I'm reliable.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16I'm a good timekeeper.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I know I rely on public transport, but that's not a problem.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- I'm a good cook and that's what a lot of people say.- OK.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Yeah, I think that's everything from us, so thank you.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27You can relax now.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Thank you very much, guys.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I'd be awesome at the job.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Awesome at the job, I would.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43It just depends how well someone else has sold themselves, as well.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48PHONE RINGS
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Hello?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Hiya. You all right?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Oh, thank you.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59No problem.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I will. Thank you very much, anyway. Cheers.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06You, too.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Bye. Bye.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09No.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11I was second.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Obviously, it goes by scores.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16She said, "You had five questions, you get marked on the four."
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And I was one behind.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Oh, well. On to the next, then, innit?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29DOGS BARK
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- 'Hello?'- Hiya, Mother.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39'Hi.'
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Mam, I need to lend some money.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I don't know, is £5 all right?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46'And so, you know, it's a bit embarrassing asking your mother
0:05:46 > 0:05:49'when you're 38 years of age and you've got your own job.'
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Erm, so can I have some money, please?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57'Well, generally, just like, you know, for food and stuff.'
0:05:58 > 0:05:59I know, aye.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03OK, then. Yeah, that's fine. Thanks, Mam.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It really pisses me off, right,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08that I have to lend money off my mother, who's 76, who says,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11"Sue, if you have it now, you won't be having it when I'm dead."
0:06:11 > 0:06:13But, you know, what am I supposed to do?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I can't live like it no more. It'll just do your head in.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I can't live on 11, 12 grand a year, right?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Because I've got two fricking kids, right?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24And how people... How people manage it, I don't know.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26You know, maybe sometimes it is easier, but I can't,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29cos I have yet run out of money and it's nowhere near payday.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31It's just absolutely pathetic.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Sue's worked as a carpenter for a local housing association
0:06:38 > 0:06:39for the last five years.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I love working.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I haven't been unemployed that often, yeah?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Saying that, right, I've most probably got less money left over
0:06:48 > 0:06:50out of my wages, after I pay everything,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53than a person have got left out of their child tax
0:06:53 > 0:06:55or whatever else they get, or out of their income support.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57They've most probably got more.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04She lives with her two teenage daughters
0:07:04 > 0:07:06next to the Brecon Beacons in Blaenavon.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12This is Cerys. She's my oldest daughter. She's 19 next week.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16That's Chloe. She's my youngest daughter. She's 14.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21With Chloe at school and Cerys training to be a hairdresser,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23money in the household is tight.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Our dream homes. Like, so there's what I would like.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30A house like that.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33A bit more glass. Erm, nice kitchen.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Chloe would like a kitchen like that.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I just want a new house.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40And nice stuff.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47But there's one dream Sue wants to realise above all others...
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Like, when have we had a family holiday?- Never.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Do you know what I mean? It's quite sad.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55It is hard sometimes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Because of their friends having iPhones and everything else,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03it's really difficult for the kids to understand that they can't...
0:08:03 > 0:08:04they can't have it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06They can't.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09You know, they can have what I've got and I'll go without
0:08:09 > 0:08:11and I have no problem with that at all,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- cos they're my children. - You always go without.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Yeah.- Always.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I can't remember the last time she went clothes shopping for herself.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26While many households in the Valleys are struggling,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30some businesses are thriving.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'm just looking around... We have a camera,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35a PSP game.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39We've got in here a gentleman who comes in of mature years
0:08:39 > 0:08:41and these are his medals.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43And in his case, we lend him £80.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Above that, we've got a PS4,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48which is worth several hundred pounds.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51On the basis that we virtually lend on anything...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54we've got a sword that we lent some money on
0:08:54 > 0:08:56and the customer hasn't come back.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58So, er, that's for sale at the moment.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07The most common activity that we do is the buy-back service.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11We buy an item off somebody for less than it's worth
0:09:11 > 0:09:14and then we agree to sell it back to them
0:09:14 > 0:09:16at a 25% increase.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18That's effectively our interest.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Hi. How can I help you? - How you doing, mate?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- I'd like to put a loan against this ring, if I can, please?- OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- And whose ring is it? - It's my partner's.- OK.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- And have you been in before?- No.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Right, what I'll need to do,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I'm going to assume that it's 18 for a moment
0:09:37 > 0:09:39and tell you how much I can lend on it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- Then I'd have to examine it a bit closer.- No problem at all.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44If that was all good, we'd process the paperwork and get it back.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Sure. No worries. I appreciate that. - Give me two minutes.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Thank you very much.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50SHOP DOOR BEEPS
0:09:50 > 0:09:53We've got an 18-carat diamond ring
0:09:53 > 0:09:54that's come from Australia.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56There's no stamps on it,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00so I will need to look quite closely at the constitution of the gold
0:10:00 > 0:10:02to make sure it is 18, 18 carat.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05If it is 18 carat, then I'm actually quite happy with that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07So I'll just get on and do that now for a minute.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- INTERVIEWER: - It's his engagement ring, isn't it?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I mean, how do you feel about...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14buying someone's engagement ring off him?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Emotion doesn't come into the deal.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Emotion comes into trying to support and help.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22But when it comes down to the deal,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24it has to be supported by practicalities.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26It's a new customer.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29It's some interest and profit,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31hopefully, on the first transaction.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And if he never does come back, there's a good profit in it
0:10:34 > 0:10:35on the first transaction.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So, on every level, we win.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45The testing shows that it's less pure than if it was 18.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Cos it was bought as 18 from a jeweller's.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Mm.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53But it's looking... There's certain tests I would do on it
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- and it gives me different results. - Yeah, sure. Yeah.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58And that's showing it's less than 18.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00And the next step down to that is 15.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- I've actually still got the receipt for it...- Have you?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04..from the jewellers.
0:11:04 > 0:11:071,850 we paid six-and-a-half years ago.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- And they're all real diamonds, as well.- Yeah, they're real diamonds.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11- No issues with that. - At least, I hope so!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14So what I'll do is I'll offer you 110 rather than 120, OK?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15OK, we'll go with that.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Then we'll go with that and then we split halfway.- OK.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23The last time me and my wife properly ate
0:11:23 > 0:11:25er, was about three days ago.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Yeah, this means everything, mate. Without this, erm...
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Yeah, I can't... I don't know what we'd be doing, so...

0:11:53 > 0:11:56- You can have five coins in your change.- Thanking you.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59We don't want to drag them down.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02And that's why we're quite keen that we'll lend them what they need,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04not what they want.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06The want is normally a lot greater than the need.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19OK.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Where did you go, then, to have a good time?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25LAUGHTER
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I tell you what, the class tonight has been very good.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Very positive tonight.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30OK. Right, then.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Lots of people are paying their money in now
0:13:32 > 0:13:35because we're all going to the health farm in May.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37So the balance is due now, so...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40if you could put that in the bottom for me? Hello!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43As well as paying for the class,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45the ladies put a few extra quid aside towards the annual trip
0:13:45 > 0:13:47to an exclusive health spa.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Couldn't find your card, could you?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Lost half a pound of butter.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56And a rugby weekend? Hey, that's brilliant.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Slimmer of the week...
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Dawn, well done!
0:14:00 > 0:14:04People that attend our class are working-class families.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09A lot of people can't afford to go to Sainsbury's or Tesco's, even.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13So we all talk about how much things are,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16what is on offer that week.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21We talk about vegetables and fruit and meat that are quite cheap.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Corned beef, one of our favourites, isn't it, girls?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Do everyone like corned beef? - ALL:- Yes.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30At the moment, this was on offer at £2.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32So what would we make out of that can?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I know what I'd make out of it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- A corned beef hash? - A corned beef hash.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Stew.- Corned beef stew. One of our favourites, again.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I tell you what we call our Slimtone pasty.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48Put one slice of wholemeal bread onto the George Foreman,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50put your corned beef on,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53red onions or white onions
0:14:53 > 0:14:56and a slice of tomato and that's a lovely meal.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58LAUGHTER
0:14:58 > 0:14:59We have a laugh in class
0:14:59 > 0:15:04and it's a place where people come to have an hour out
0:15:04 > 0:15:08and to talk amongst each other
0:15:08 > 0:15:10and to give each other support.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Because when our chips are down,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15there is always someone there.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19And money is nothing because,
0:15:19 > 0:15:23if you've got friends and family to support you, that is everything.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25All right, ta-ra.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Ta-ra.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Thank you. - Happy time, you two.- Yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33One Slimtone member has only recently returned to the club.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Hello?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Drumroll...
0:15:38 > 0:15:42# Dum da-da-dum da-da-dum da-da-derrrrr
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Yes...!
0:15:45 > 0:15:4912 months ago, Julie gave up her job as a GP's receptionist
0:15:49 > 0:15:53and her husband Chris resigned from the local car engine plant
0:15:53 > 0:15:54after a family tragedy.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Geraint had an asthma attack going back last January.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01We obviously took him into hospital,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04but he didn't respond to any treatment,
0:16:04 > 0:16:09which caused him, eventually, to have a cardiac arrest.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13He, unfortunately, wasn't breathing for 14 minutes,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15so it's left him with severe brain damage.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Oh, he loves ice lollies. It's his favourite.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22This is how we first got Geraint back eating,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26cos he didn't eat anything for about six months.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31But all the drama of late has had the opposite effect on Julie.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I do eat more when I'm more stressed and more depressed.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40We've lived in hospitals and rehab centres for the last year,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42just living on whatever we can quickly make.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47You know, pasties, crisps, just anything that's filling.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50So, you know, I've got to try and kick myself out of this now
0:16:50 > 0:16:52and start making time for myself.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56He deserves the best. He deserves a fit and healthy mother.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Is Mammy going to lose loads of weight for Ger?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Do you think Mammy can do it?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Yes...
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Yes. Good boy.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14With Slimtone's help, Julie hopes to lose five stone.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22But over in Penygarn, dieting is the last thing on Maria's mind.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Your brekky.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27She's cooking fried breakfasts at her local community centre,
0:17:27 > 0:17:31hoping it will improve her prospects of finding a job.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Right here.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- INTERVIEWER: - How much is a breakfast here?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Two bacon, two sausage and everything else is £3.
0:17:37 > 0:17:4035 pence, a tin of beans.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I can make them taste like a £1.50 tin of beans.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Egg sandwich, £1.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Bacon and egg is £1.50 for a sandwich.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I suppose it's just getting people together, come and have a cup of tea
0:17:50 > 0:17:51to meet people.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- How much do you get paid for doing this?- Nothing.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57We all volunteer for free.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00It keeps me busy. It keeps me going while I'm not working.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I'm not like some of them, who just sit at home all day
0:18:03 > 0:18:06and, you know, don't want to work, happy to sit on benefits.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I'm not. I really don't want to do that.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14You know, I'm willing to work 16 hours a week, basic minimum wage.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16So, I mean, what's that? £104 a week.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I can just about live off that
0:18:18 > 0:18:21and I'm happy to do that, if that's all I can get.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24It's better than going to the Jobcentre, anything is.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Anything is.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Obviously, having the past I've got is not great. I know that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But, you know, I just messed up a little bit when I was younger.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Tell me what, you know, person doesn't when they're younger.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I was stealing. I was, you know, fighting all the time.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I wasn't generally a very nice person at all.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44You know, I got a bit angry sometimes. My ex...
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I stabbed him in the head with a pair of scissors over a TV.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Something petty, but something I'll never forget.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51It will always stick in my mind.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I think the first time I went to prison
0:18:54 > 0:18:57was for, obviously, the stabbing of my ex in the head.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58And the second time was...
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I accidently punched a copper in the face.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I've been for a couple of job interviews
0:19:04 > 0:19:08and, obviously, I've come to no avail, as you can see.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10When people see my criminal record,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12they don't take me on.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15But, you know, if they're going to look at that and judge me,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17then, obviously, that's up to them.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I think everybody deserves a second chance.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Most definitely.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27With no income, other than her benefits,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Maria doesn't like surprises.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33About a week ago,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I found a big, massive lump on the side of his neck.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37So I took him to the vet.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39They told me it was an abscess
0:19:39 > 0:19:43and every day since then he's had a shot of antibiotics.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's costing me £20 a time.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47The first time was £40.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Obviously, because the abscess is still filling up,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53it's got to go in for an operation, which is going to cost me £108
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and I cannot get £108.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Cannot.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- INTERVIEWER: - And how much is it to put it down?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03I think it's roughly about £62, I think they said.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06You know, I've spent £80 so far. I can't afford to spend any more.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I know it's only a guinea pig, but, you know, I'm just trying
0:20:09 > 0:20:11to prolong my daughter's happiness, if you know what I mean?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Who is this, Seren? Who have you got there?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Lily.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20She's a little bit like a friend with, like, erm...
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- ginger, white and black.- Yeah.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25She's cute and funny.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26And how is Lily?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29We just have to take her to the vet,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32cos she's got something on her cheek.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I really love her. I love her with all my heart.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Mm...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Pull.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Good girl.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Good girl.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51All right? I'm good, thank you.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Do you want to pop him on there?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Yeah, so she has lost a little bit of weight, yeah.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- She has, yeah.- Yeah.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02It's all right.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05We'll still carry on with the antibiotic course
0:21:05 > 0:21:07and we can sort of discuss the options tomorrow
0:21:07 > 0:21:10as to what we're going to do and where we go from there.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Yeah.- All done, my sweet pea.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13OK.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Come on, let's go.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17All right, babes?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Yeah?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- That's lovely. Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Bye.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40When money's tight, a crisis is never far away in the Valleys.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44My hoover, my telly. It broke in the last 24 hours.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I fell on the corner of my bed, broke my TV.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I can't stand not having a hoover, that's got to be the worst.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54That's worse than the telly.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59But having a telly means buying a licence,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02something Sue hasn't been prioritising.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Oh, but I don't check my mail again. I got a letter here from...
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Just pushed through the door,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10no envelope or anything, from the bailiffs.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14£49. They're telling me I need to pay it in 24 hours
0:22:14 > 0:22:16or they're going to turn my house over to the locksmith.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19And then, if they attend my property in the morning with a locksmith,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22it'll go up to £200.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24This is how they get their money off people.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Last year, I had a bill which started off, it was just over £100,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32and I couldn't afford to pay it all in one go.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37And so the bill I ended up paying, when they came into my property,
0:22:37 > 0:22:38was £800,
0:22:38 > 0:22:42because I couldn't afford to pay one bill all in one go.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- INTERVIEWER:- So have you had many of those letters?- What, these?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Not this year.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48I've only had one this year.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I had about four last year.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56For "non-payment of TV licence".
0:22:56 > 0:22:57You seem quite calm about it, though.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yeah, cos I know that they can't break into my house.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Cos I researched.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06You're not allowed to break in with force into my house.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It's not allowed. It's breaking and entering, innit?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14The bailiffs are due in the morning.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15PHONE RINGS
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Hiya. You left a notice of attendance
0:23:18 > 0:23:20through my door this morning.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25That's right. So I'm going to pay my £49, but I can't afford
0:23:25 > 0:23:27to pay it all in one go.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30You know, on your website it says,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33"If you cannot afford to, if you are in financial hardship,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35"please get in touch with us and tell us."
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I'm getting in touch with you and I am telling you
0:23:38 > 0:23:41that I am in financial hardship.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Your agency is obviously one of the ones
0:23:44 > 0:23:47that doesn't adhere to government rules, then, is this right?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I'm not going to do it. I borrowed £800 for you last year
0:23:50 > 0:23:53and I left myself in debt. That's why I couldn't pay this £49.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59So you will be back with a locksmith,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01even though I'm not refusing to pay?
0:24:02 > 0:24:03How much do I get charged?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Oh, well, I suggest, then, right, you go and get the warrant now.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Look, learn your job, research it, honestly, love.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Thank you very much. Bye.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Was I nasty or what? Do you think I was a bit overboard there?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23DOG WHINES
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I'd love to smack her in her teeth, aye. Oh...
0:24:26 > 0:24:29DOG WHINES
0:24:29 > 0:24:31To get herself out of hot water,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Sue's come into Pontypool to try and get a loan.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41With her credit history, the high street banks are a nonstarter
0:24:41 > 0:24:43and she's weary of the loan sharks that are rife in the Valleys.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49So she's come to Credit Union,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52a community bank set up to help people on low incomes
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and encourage them to save.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Hiya. I need to apply for a loan
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and, erm...my telly
0:25:01 > 0:25:03and my hoover broke last night.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Oh, dear! Oh, well, it never rains, but it pours.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Oh, there's always something.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09What I'd like it for, really, is a manicure
0:25:09 > 0:25:11and a holiday to go to the Caribbean,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- but that's what I want, innit? - Just have a cruise.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- A cruise is nice. - It's not what I need.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Right, so what you need to do now is fill in a loan application form.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Right. - OK, if you want to fill that in?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- All right, then? - Brilliant. Thanks very much.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25- Thank you.- Bye.- Bye-bye.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Sue's request for a £150 loan is now in the hands of the Credit Union.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36We're not a pushover in here.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39We don't give loans unless you can pay them back.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I've seen mothers and daughters coming in,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46it looks to be generation after generation
0:25:46 > 0:25:49and they don't think saving is important.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52They don't see it as a number one priority.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55You want a boob job? You can save up for it.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59We've got a savings for special events and that's a special event.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Up in Penygarn, Maria's just returned from the vet's.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I took my guinea pig,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15well, my daughter's guinea pig, to the vet this morning.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17And...
0:26:19 > 0:26:22And it had an injection. We had to put it down, like.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27SUE EXHALES HEAVILY
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I think I did the best thing today.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31You know, at least I can say I've done my best.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34It might have left us a bit skint, it might have left us with nothing,
0:26:34 > 0:26:35but I did my best for Ser, you know?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I did my best. I did what I could.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Mummy...
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Come on, let's have a sit down.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Right.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Right, shall we have a chat?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yeah. About what?
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Erm...
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I had to take your guinea pig to the vet's today.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Yeah.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02And I had to have it put to sleep, babe.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Sleep-sleep? - Yeah. Sleep-sleep.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12So, now, you promised me you'd be grown up about this.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15But it's for the best. She's not in pain now, is she?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18OK?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27But she's gone to sleep, Ser, but I brought her home...
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- ..and we'll go and bury her up in the woods.- When?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33What?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Do we bury her?- We'll do it now in a minute, babes, yeah?
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Yeah?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Ser, I've done the best thing, though, babe.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You know Mammy tried her best.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Didn't I?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52It was too expensive.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54The operation was too expensive
0:27:54 > 0:27:56and even if she did have the operation, babes,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58she was too ill to have it, anyway.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We'll take her and bury her, OK?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08No sadness now, kids, OK?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Yeah, Jake?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Ser, don't go too far in, babe.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Here you are. There's a nice bit of flat up there, is there?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Yeah, we'll go right next to a tree, I think.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Mum, make sure you get that stick out.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Do you want to put her in?
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Yeah.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- God, she's heavier than I remember, Mum.- I know.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- How's that, Ser? - Yeah, that's OK, Mum.- Is that OK?
0:28:52 > 0:28:53We love you so much.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56OK, Jakey...
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It's Wednesday evening
0:29:09 > 0:29:13and only two weeks until the Slimtone outing to the health spa.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16With my job,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I work in the mental health field,
0:29:18 > 0:29:21so I understand when some people,
0:29:21 > 0:29:23you know, are feeling really depressed
0:29:23 > 0:29:26and what they tend to do then is overeat.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30I've gone through some difficult times in my life
0:29:30 > 0:29:33and, to be honest, I was like a yo-yo dieter.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38So the class is there to give some people some time out
0:29:38 > 0:29:40from their worries.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43And by talking and chatting away about different things,
0:29:43 > 0:29:46it makes them feel, you know, more normal.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50It's about being together at class
0:29:50 > 0:29:54and doing things and getting together then
0:29:54 > 0:29:55to go to the health farm,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59to see how the other half live, because we're not used to that.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Julie needs a bit of a nudge.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05She's gone through some awful times
0:30:05 > 0:30:08and that's why she's gained a lot of her weight.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12And, hopefully, she will feel a lot better with a little surprise
0:30:12 > 0:30:14that I have in store for her.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19With determination,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22we all can lose weight.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25So the following are just a few reasons
0:30:25 > 0:30:28I have had over losing weight, right?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31"To wear a seatbelt in the plane."
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Now, a lot of people, they've been overweight...
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Well, yes, a lot of people have a double seat.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Well, that's going to cost a bomb, isn't it? I couldn't afford to go.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42"Running for a bus without wobbling."
0:30:44 > 0:30:48"You're fed up with the sound of your thighs rubbing together."
0:30:48 > 0:30:50A lot of people have said that.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53"Your husband looking worried
0:30:53 > 0:30:55"when you go out on a night with the girls."
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Feeling threatened, that's good, isn't it? Make him feel jealous!
0:30:59 > 0:31:02"You want to have your pick of sexy underwear.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06"And for the men, you could surprise your lady with a thong."
0:31:06 > 0:31:07- How's that one? - GROANING AND LAUGHTER
0:31:11 > 0:31:13You've decided you're worth it, girls.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Everyone is worth it in this class.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19It's the moment of truth for Julie
0:31:19 > 0:31:21with her first weigh-in since rejoining.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25How much? Now, we are...
0:31:26 > 0:31:29..16 stone 2.25lbs.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32So we're looking now at getting down to what, Jue?
0:31:32 > 0:31:3311 stone.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Knowing the scale of Julie's challenge,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Linda's come up with a plan to help her achieve it.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Are we ready, Julie? Let's go for it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47What I done, right, I bought the fish,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50the haddock, the salmon and the cod right?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- I boiled a load of potatoes with leeks...- Yeah.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- ..mashed them up, put that all on top of the cheese sauce...- Yeah.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00..and then put some Cathedral City Light then on top.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Come on, girls, come on!
0:32:02 > 0:32:03I know.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04I'll show them, Rich.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Right, come on, then, Jue. - Right, let's go.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08- Let's step it up.- Step it up.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- Let's work some pounds off. - Oh, God, Lind.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Come on, you can do it.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Julie's one of the few in the club who's not signed up
0:32:18 > 0:32:20for the annual Slimtone outing.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23But Linda thinks it could be just the treat she needs.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25It would be nice for you
0:32:25 > 0:32:28to come to the health farm with us, Jue, the tour.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29- Yeah, I know.- Right?
0:32:29 > 0:32:34- As sort of a reward for working hard and losing weight.- Yeah.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36But wouldn't it be nice if you could get someone
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- to, obviously, look after Geraint first...- Yeah.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- ..and come for a treat to the health farm?- That's it.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I'd love to go.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45There we are, we've done it.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Five laps! Well done, Jue.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Really enjoyed that.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Two more than we should have done.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54There we are, we've done five instead of the three tonight.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Well done. - Yeah, it's been really good.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- First of many.- Thank you.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02I really, really enjoyed that. That was amazing.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05That's the most I have laughed, I think, in the last 18 months.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07She is just crazy.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09You know, she just pushes you and keeps you going.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Back at Cash Brokers,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25there's a steady flow of regulars needing a lifeline
0:33:25 > 0:33:28and mobile phones are doing brisk business.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Hi, Lorna.- All right?
0:33:30 > 0:33:31How are you feeling?
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Shit.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Crap.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Can I put this on loan until tomorrow?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Let's have a look.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Now, you've got a few items out of date, Lorna.- I know.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Which is unlike you. - I know. I'm going to pick them up.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46OK. Well, you've kept in touch with us and we knew you were in hospital.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49So what we'll do, cos policy is not to lend you too much money.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- We don't borrow more than you need, you know that.- No, I know.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- Right, let's sort you out, then, Lorna.- Thanks, David.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56- That's OK.- Diamond.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59There we go, Lorna. Keep that paperwork safe.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- There's 30 and then we'll see you when you pop in, then.- Tomorrow.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- Tomorrow.- I'll be in tomorrow and I'll renew everything and that.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- Then we're all up to speed. - Thanks, David.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Don't tell anybody I renewed when you were out of date.- I won't.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10- Definitely not.- Keep that a secret.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15It might only be 30 quid,
0:34:15 > 0:34:19but to a single mother with three kids, that's a fucking grand.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22It's like having a grand in your hand when you've got nothing.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28If there was a gold medal for the best pawnbroker,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Dave would win it 20 times over.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Today, David has his daughter Francesca in on work experience.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- Oh, dear, do you want me to have a go?- Yeah.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Right, watch me, then.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53He's keen for her to get a real taste of the pawnbroking world.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54There's £7 missing.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Yeah, but where's it gone? - Well, we've got to find it.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00I know you were looking for a job for me, really!
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Hiya.- Hi. How can I help you?
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Could I just put that in until tomorrow, if possible, please?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Yeah, I'll take a look. How much do you need?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11- 25, if possible.- About 25? OK.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14I'll see what I can do.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16What do you need the money for?
0:35:16 > 0:35:17- Gas, electric.- Oh, really?
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- We've run out.- Yeah. - Only until tomorrow.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22It's just 12 months,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25so, hopefully, I'll get back to work soon.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28OK, so to buy it back, it's £31.25.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Is that OK? - Go on, then. I'll raise some things.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31There's your £25.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Lovely. Thanks ever so much.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Come on, then.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Bye. See you soon.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Say, "Bye."
0:35:38 > 0:35:39- GIRL:- Bye!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43You don't see these kind of people, like,
0:35:43 > 0:35:47I'd say, like, in a normal teenage life.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Obviously, I was...I'm quite lucky,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53so to say, with the life I've had.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Brought up by two parents.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59I went to a good school, off to uni now.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01You're also learning how to work hard, as well.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05I mean, what we've got we haven't got by sitting down.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07And some of the customers who come in don't work hard.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10And some of them really do try to work hard.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12And it's spotting the difference
0:36:12 > 0:36:14and being able to relate to everybody.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18So when you're on your own out in the workplace in due course,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21you know, when you've finished uni and everything,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23you'll be better prepared to cope with it.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34BOY SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY
0:36:34 > 0:36:36What, cheeky, cheeky, cheeky?
0:36:36 > 0:36:40Back in Penygarn, Maria still hasn't found a job.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Right, Jake, do you want a go on the trampoline?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47But you've got to take your shoes off, mind. It's already broke.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50So have you been down to the Jobcentre looking for work?
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Well, you got to, haven't you? Sign on every two weeks.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- Anything about? - Doing job shares, nothing.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57It's crap. You know, I've got a CV in every single shop in town,
0:36:57 > 0:36:59CV in every single shop up Trevethin.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02You know, things will change for you and you'll maybe pick up a job
0:37:02 > 0:37:04and just, like, see how things go
0:37:04 > 0:37:06and, you know, just take it from there.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Oh...!
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Julie's husband is a full-time mechanic
0:37:11 > 0:37:14and she is a keen amateur beautician.
0:37:14 > 0:37:15That's my charger up.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- FRENCH ACCENT:- Come into my parlour.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Oh, you're a pasty strip, are you?
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Right, there we go.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25TANNING MACHINE WHIRS
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Other side.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36The other side.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Other one.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43There, love. There we go.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Oooh, it used to be warm out here. It's cold in.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49On your legs.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58JULIE LAUGHS
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Maria, did you put your hands over your breasts at any time?- Yeah.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Not bad, not bad.- Nice tan, innit? - Cracking.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- There you are, my dear. - Thank you.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12INTERVIEWER: How does that feel, Maria?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Lush. I already feel a stone lighter!
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Give us a cutch.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I love you.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23I love you, too.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Maria was a total terror.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30A total nightmare.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Oh, my God, really, really bad.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Always some sort of crime round the corner
0:38:36 > 0:38:38or the police knocking on Mam's door.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Or she'd go on these benders, weekend bender things
0:38:42 > 0:38:44and we just didn't know whether
0:38:44 > 0:38:47she was going to come home some weekends.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52But getting pregnant was, oh, a complete turnaround.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54What a turnaround. A different person, like, overnight.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58And losing her kids' dad was massive.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03She...she had it rough, fair play for her.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I'm lucky that my husband works.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09He always provided for me and the kids and...
0:39:09 > 0:39:11completely different lifestyle.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Completely different lifestyle, I suppose.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16But I've never gone without, I don't owe anybody, don't owe debt.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17There was a time.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Couldn't ask for a better man, I'll be honest with you.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33The end of term is on the horizon
0:39:33 > 0:39:37and for Sue and Chloe the summer holidays mean staying at home again.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Right, when my job's secure, then...
0:39:43 > 0:39:45then I can start saving, cos my money goes up
0:39:45 > 0:39:47and we'll be able to go on holiday shortly, like.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49One of those last-minute deals.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50- Yeah?- Mm-hm.- Tidy.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- INTERVIEWER:- Have you ever been on a holiday with your mum?- No.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Where would you like to go?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00I'm not sure.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I don't know. I haven't really got a favourite place to go.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Just go anywhere.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06I want to go...
0:40:06 > 0:40:10I want to go to Sweden to see the Ice Bar.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13I want to go to Dubai,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16just because it floats on water, everything's made on water.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17It's just amazing.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Erm...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Well, loads of places, loads.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24SHE LAUGHS
0:40:25 > 0:40:28I do feel like a failure as a mother sometimes,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31cos I just want them to be happy, I want them to not miss out,
0:40:31 > 0:40:34I want them to have things their friends have,
0:40:34 > 0:40:35you know, and I can't afford it.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Hoping to give her girls some kind of summer treat,
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Sue's come to ask for another loan at the Credit Union.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Do I have to rewrite that or can you understand it?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- What is it? - Hot tub for kids' party.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- Hot tub for kids' party?- Yeah.
0:40:53 > 0:40:54£200 to hire a hot tub?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57No, that's for the barbecue to go with it.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00It's to go to a spa. I mean, it's £200 for the week.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- Yeah?- You can't go wrong for that. It's a massive, huge one.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06It don't use hardly any electric.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09And it's better. I can't afford to take them on holiday, see?
0:41:09 > 0:41:12So we've got to have the next thing - hot tub and barbecue.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17It's her choice to do that
0:41:17 > 0:41:20and it's what her children wanted and what makes her happy.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24And if she can afford it, then go ahead.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28I've been there - no money, trying to raise children.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32The father of my children used to pick up his dole money
0:41:32 > 0:41:34and he would spend it in the pub or the bookies.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- INTERVIEWER: - What's that feeling like?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Gutting.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47In the centre of town, it's market day.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53It's my little boy's birthday tomorrow - Jake.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55They sell cheap cakes,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58so I've come down here to buy him a birthday cake.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Hiya. You all right?- Yeah.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- What choice have we got today? - That's the chocolate tray bake.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Chocolate tray bake. I'll have one of them, please, at £1.50. Nice.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09And I've got the Transformers. Say £3.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11- I'll have one of those, as well, please.- All right.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13There you are, £4.50 altogether, love. All right?
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- Thank you very much. - Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18- Cheers.- OK, thanks a lot. Thank you. - Ta-ra.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Well, I've bought him a tablet, a Samsung Galaxy.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26But I didn't buy it brand-new. I bought it, obviously, second hand.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29And all I've got in my pocket now today is £11
0:42:29 > 0:42:31to get a little something.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Because I don't want him to wake up on his birthday
0:42:33 > 0:42:34with one present, you know?
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- INTERVIEWER: - How did you get him a tablet?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Erm...
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Well, I had to loan my sister my laptop
0:42:43 > 0:42:46until I can...
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Well, she gave me money to loan her my laptop until I can pay her back.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52And the only thing, really, I've got of value is my laptop.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- How much was the tablet?- £60.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59So it's a bit crap, I know, but times are hard.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01You know, I want to give my boy the best.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And I can't afford to do it.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09I just don't want to let him down, man. I never let my kids down.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15Little things like that, you know, feel like that, like, you know?
0:43:16 > 0:43:19I don't feel like I'm living a life any more, I'm just existing.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21I'm existing for my kids, look.
0:43:21 > 0:43:22It's shit.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24No self-pride, nothing.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32All I want in life is just to be given a chance.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47Linda's making final preparations for the trip to the health spa
0:43:47 > 0:43:49in Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52With two days to go,
0:43:52 > 0:43:56all the Slimtone ladies have paid their £295 fee.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59It's a treat. It's a real treat.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01It's a luxury.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03And whereas, you know, people that have got money,
0:44:03 > 0:44:04it's not a luxury to them.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07But with the likes of people like us from the Valleys,
0:44:07 > 0:44:09going to the health farm,
0:44:09 > 0:44:11it's absolutely amazing
0:44:11 > 0:44:14and we are so fortunate that we can go.
0:44:14 > 0:44:18But one member is still undecided about the trip.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22This is a photo of Julie.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26She lost 5.5lbs with me last week.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30And she's holding a bar of fat
0:44:30 > 0:44:32that is 5lbs in weight.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35So it's a tremendous lot of weight, really.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38I think she's very, very positive at the moment,
0:44:38 > 0:44:40because she's doing it for Geraint.
0:44:40 > 0:44:45So I am hoping that she will come to the health farm with us
0:44:45 > 0:44:50because I think she really could do with a break.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52I think it would benefit her
0:44:52 > 0:44:55and to make her feel, erm...
0:44:55 > 0:44:58better about herself when she comes home.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Julie and Chris are busy
0:45:05 > 0:45:08decorating a new downstairs bedroom for Geraint.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12And deciding about the trip isn't easy.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16So...are you going to go?
0:45:17 > 0:45:18I don't know. I...
0:45:18 > 0:45:22I want to go. I really, really do want to go.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25- But I need...- Just that little bit of doubt.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29And I do feel guilty about enjoying myself.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32Just having that couple of hours away from everything,
0:45:32 > 0:45:35where I'm not thinking about him.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39And I know it's good because...
0:45:39 > 0:45:41But then...
0:45:41 > 0:45:43he hasn't got that opportunity, has he?
0:45:43 > 0:45:47He's just stuck in this shitty body he's got...
0:45:49 > 0:45:51..not being able to do what he wants to do.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54It's just not fair.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Yeah, but if you were having that break, you'd come back...
0:45:57 > 0:46:01..you can put a little bit more into it with him, can't you?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03You'd be fresher.
0:46:04 > 0:46:05Yeah.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- I mean, at the moment, I think we're both dead on our feet.- We are.
0:46:08 > 0:46:13It's a big step, but it's a big step you've got to take at some point.
0:46:13 > 0:46:14I don't know.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27Jakey...
0:46:27 > 0:46:28You're the birthday boy today.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33SHE LAUGHS
0:46:33 > 0:46:34Oh, he's gone, Ser.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Yay!
0:46:52 > 0:46:54What's that, Jake?
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Is that a Samsung, bud?
0:46:58 > 0:47:00"To Jake.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03"Love you, my world.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05"Love Mum."
0:47:05 > 0:47:07Cos I love you, don't I?
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Are you happy, Jake?
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Yeah.
0:47:16 > 0:47:17And look...
0:47:19 > 0:47:22- Don't take a picture of me, Jake. I've got no make-up on.- Ah-ha!
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Well, I feel relieved today.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27Absolutely a lot happier than I was yesterday.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29Seeing the smile on his face...
0:47:29 > 0:47:32I knew he would be like that with his tablet, anyway, you know?
0:47:32 > 0:47:36So, yeah, a much better day today.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38So smiles all round today.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48All aboard, ladies.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Good morning.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52Confess.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53Bore da!
0:47:58 > 0:48:02We're on. Rock 'n' rolling, love. Ready to go to heaven.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04You can take them out of the Valleys
0:48:04 > 0:48:06but you can't take the Valley out of the girls.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Are we all excited, girls?
0:48:08 > 0:48:09- ALL:- Yeah!
0:48:09 > 0:48:11All OK?
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Are we all playing bingo?
0:48:19 > 0:48:21£3 each.
0:48:21 > 0:48:22Right, then, girls...
0:48:24 > 0:48:25Eyes down.
0:48:25 > 0:48:30We're going to start with 90, top of the shop.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34And it's donkey's dangler...number one.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36CHEERING
0:48:43 > 0:48:47Julie's made the decision to stay at home in the Valleys.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51When you're walking up here,
0:48:51 > 0:48:53it don't cost nothing. It's, er...
0:48:54 > 0:48:57You just feel so free, you're away from everything.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59And I really think that,
0:48:59 > 0:49:04if I had to give this up for a lifestyle of being posh...
0:49:05 > 0:49:07I don't think I could.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10Oh... No.
0:49:10 > 0:49:15This time last year, I was stuck in hospital next to Geraint's bed.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22This is just such a...a better place to be.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Yeah, I just wish I could bring him up here.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29There's not a minute of his life
0:49:29 > 0:49:33that he...that he can get away from it like we can.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35You know, I'm always going to have that guilt
0:49:35 > 0:49:37of leaving Geraint at home when I'm away. You know, I...
0:49:39 > 0:49:42I feel guilty even when I laugh sometimes, you know?
0:49:42 > 0:49:43Cos, you know...
0:49:45 > 0:49:46Just hang on a minute.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56I just want to take everything away from him.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01I just wish it could be me...
0:50:01 > 0:50:05that it all happened to and not him. He's...
0:50:05 > 0:50:07he's so young and he's so...
0:50:07 > 0:50:11Everybody loves him, you know? He's just such a loveable kid.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16There's always that guilt of, could I have done more
0:50:16 > 0:50:19to stop all this happening?
0:50:19 > 0:50:22And, you know, there's just so much guilt coming from every angle.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25So I think, you know, going back to Slimtone,
0:50:25 > 0:50:29the support I'm having off them is really what I need.
0:50:30 > 0:50:33They're an amazing bunch of girls.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36So, yeah, having a night away or two nights away is...
0:50:36 > 0:50:39is a big step for me, a very big step.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Hello, everyone.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47We've arrived now at the health farm.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Are you all happy to be here?
0:50:49 > 0:50:50- ALL:- Yeah!
0:50:50 > 0:50:51Yay!
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Let's go for it, girls.
0:51:11 > 0:51:15The luxurious three-night stay includes three beauty treatments.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19A dry float, I've had.
0:51:19 > 0:51:20A dry float. It's been lovely.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22And water bed.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26You don't get it in the Valleys, love, no.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36Well, there we are. There she is working now.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39I've checked that Angela looks fine
0:51:39 > 0:51:40on my CCTV.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43So I don't spy on her, I just check that everything's all right.
0:51:43 > 0:51:44It's David's day off...
0:51:44 > 0:51:46I'll give her a quick call now, anyway.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49..but he's still keeping a close eye on the shop.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52His wife Megan is keen for him
0:51:52 > 0:51:55to take a bit more of a break from the business.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59Something that David has been reluctant to commit to.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04She's trying to pin me down to book a holiday
0:52:04 > 0:52:09and as happy as I am to do it, I like all my ducks lined up.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12And I've only just agreed that we've got this one week off.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15So now it's going to be a negotiation whether it's a one-week,
0:52:15 > 0:52:17ten days or two weeks.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20I'll be thinking about business, she'll be thinking about going away.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22That's what it'll be.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24Here we go...
0:52:25 > 0:52:28Well, I've been thinking. I know we've spoken about Cuba before.
0:52:28 > 0:52:32And, obviously, I just think we just need to plan it now
0:52:32 > 0:52:36so that we can...if it's what we want to do.
0:52:36 > 0:52:37Costa Rica, we've been there.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39- No, we haven't. It was Panama, wasn't it?- Mm.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43"Natural beauty, pristine beaches, unspoilt."
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Since we set Cash Brokers up, the last five years or so
0:52:45 > 0:52:48- we haven't had a...more than a two-week holiday.- No, no.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50I mean, ideally, I'd love three weeks.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53But practically, there's no way I can be away for that long.
0:52:53 > 0:52:57- INTERVIEWER:- What's better, helping people or making a profit?
0:52:58 > 0:53:00Hand-in-hand, it's not an either or.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04Southeast Wales is a difficult area.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07There's a lot of people struggling on the edge of poverty
0:53:07 > 0:53:09and austerity measures are really hitting them.
0:53:09 > 0:53:14That element has meant that we have been able to profit.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17However, I can't make a profit without helping people
0:53:17 > 0:53:20and I can't help people without making a profit.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32After six months' job searching
0:53:32 > 0:53:35there's finally been a change in Maria's fortunes.
0:53:35 > 0:53:39We're off to the Cabin for my first day of paid work!
0:53:40 > 0:53:43She has so impressed with her voluntary cooking
0:53:43 > 0:53:47that the community centre's manager Bill has found money to pay her.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49Well, here you are.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52She's now on minimum wage for 16 hours a week,
0:53:52 > 0:53:55catering for community centre events.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59- Yep.- Task number one...- OK.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01..do the rolls for the bingo.
0:54:01 > 0:54:02OK.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04OK.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06- Bye for the moment, then.- OK.
0:54:07 > 0:54:11Maria has always been somebody that was a positive person, right?
0:54:11 > 0:54:15So she was an energiser.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19She was somebody who wanted to solve problems.
0:54:19 > 0:54:20She wanted to get things done.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23Now, that is a very refreshing quality,
0:54:23 > 0:54:25set of qualities in someone,
0:54:25 > 0:54:28and you realise that, if you give them a chance,
0:54:28 > 0:54:30it's not going to be wasted.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32She's a bundle of energy.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36She's like a firework.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39It's fab. It's fab.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41Even if, you know, I'm not going to be much better off,
0:54:41 > 0:54:43at least I'm working for it, at least I'm having a go,
0:54:43 > 0:54:46at least I haven't got to walk to that Jobcentre every two weeks, man.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48That's the biggest thing for me.
0:54:50 > 0:54:51That frigging Jobcentre...
0:54:51 > 0:54:53Sit and swivel, guys!
0:54:54 > 0:54:56This is only day one.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58You know, I have good days and I have bad days.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01And today is a bloody good day.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10Sue's latest Credit Union loan has been approved.
0:55:10 > 0:55:11I'm excited.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14For the next three days, she and her girls
0:55:14 > 0:55:18will have their very own hot tub in the back yard.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20SHE LAUGHS IN EXCITEMENT
0:55:20 > 0:55:21Oh, my God...!
0:55:21 > 0:55:23Like some help?
0:55:23 > 0:55:26It's going to go up on my patio by here.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31Chloe's in school at the moment, right?
0:55:31 > 0:55:33And so she doesn't even know we're having this.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36So it's going to be one mega, big surprise. I can't wait.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Is there any chance that I can give you 30 on the Sunday?
0:55:40 > 0:55:43I'm not going to run away with your hot tub.
0:55:43 > 0:55:44- No problems at all.- Oh, brilliant.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52It's the second day of the Slimtone health spa trip
0:55:52 > 0:55:53and there's a late arrival.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Hey...! You made it!
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Oh, fabulous!
0:56:06 > 0:56:09Oh, my God, Linda! It's gorgeous.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18Without Linda and the girls pushing me to have come today,
0:56:18 > 0:56:20I wouldn't have been here today.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23And I think that just reflects on how we are in the Valleys.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25We all look after each other.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29And without these girls and without being told that I deserve a break,
0:56:29 > 0:56:31I wouldn't be taking one.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33- Thank you.- Oh, that's nice.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36- But aren't we lucky, love? - This is the life.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38- Cheers.- This is the life.
0:56:44 > 0:56:45I love it.
0:56:45 > 0:56:46Hi!
0:56:46 > 0:56:49Thank you, Mum, so much.
0:56:49 > 0:56:53That's all right. I don't do much for you very often.
0:56:53 > 0:56:57- I know it's not a holiday, but it's a memory, it's nice.- It's nice.
