0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Living at home is a cushy number. - There you go.- Thank you.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08- Leaving you with money to burn. - I've not worn these once.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10- We've had six holidays in the last...- Year.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14No wonder so many young people are living with Mum and Dad.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Mum does my cooking, my laundry, my ironing.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20He pays for my car insurance, my car, my phone bill.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23They're even moving their other half in.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26My parents went away for three and a half weeks, so I moved him in.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30So what happens when they have to move out and fend for themselves?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Babe, you're spraying it in my face.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35We're giving young couples the chance to find out.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38It's going to either go really well, or the total opposite.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- I'm so excited! - Will they relish their freedom?
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- What have I done to deserve this? - You've been you.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Or push each other to breaking point?- I just can't be bothered.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- You're taking the mick. - I haven't taken the £20.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Will they move out for good?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Maybe it's time I've got to say goodbye, hope not.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Or run home to the Hotel of Mum and Dad?
0:00:58 > 0:01:02So have you decided what you guys want to do?
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Meet Jon, 23, and Rob, 22, from Swansea
0:01:14 > 0:01:16who've been together for four years.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Well, what first attracted me is he had platinum blond hair,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22he had like two piercings in his ear.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Wow, he's a greedy bugger.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I like the fact that he can make me smile, he's funny,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28he's kind, he's caring.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Everything he does just makes me laugh.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33It's just having your best friend with you all the time.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38100% loved up now, but they did get off to a shaky start.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41The first proper date, I picked him up after a night out
0:01:41 > 0:01:44and he was a bit drunk, he was slurring, he can't remember it.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Did he say that on camera? Oh, he's such an idiot.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I remember getting home and saying to my mum I never want to see that boy again.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54But she said give him another chance, so I did.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And Jon pulled out all the stops on his second chance.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I made his favourite food, favourite drink and everything
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and I ran upstairs, made my bed, I had to make sure my room
0:02:02 > 0:02:04was spotless, trying to get a good first impression.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Jon's magic seemed to work -
0:02:06 > 0:02:09now he's living with Rob's parents Steve and Kathryn.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12They're just lovely boys, they are really good company,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14they're good fun, Jon's hilarious
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and it's just lovely having young people around the place.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19They've done loads in their time together.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Jon has got a degree and a job in PR, while Rob is a hotel supervisor
0:02:23 > 0:02:25and gymnastics instructor.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Get 'em up, you have to finish it strong.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33Sounds all very grown-up, but Rob's hardly standing on his own two feet.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37He gets free showers, free washing, free food,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40everything for £25 a week, that's a bargain.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Including the laundry service.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I feel like Gordon Ramsay.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47It's like a really close-knit family which I love
0:02:47 > 0:02:49and that's the way I've been brought up.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'm happy here and I get on with both my mum and dad,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I like the environment, I like living at home,
0:02:54 > 0:02:55I just don't think I want to move out.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58His mum and dad are really nice and why would you move out
0:02:58 > 0:03:00if you had someone to do stuff for you, you know?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02This is for you, Rob.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Awesome, thank you, Mum.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Whilst Rob is blissfully happy at home, Jon's desperate to move out.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I'm definitely the driving force behind it,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I want to be able to move out and get my independence back.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I've experienced living away for university
0:03:14 > 0:03:17and then coming back home was a bit like, hang on a minute.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20It's like getting your independence, then getting it taken off you.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I could live at home for another few years, but I think
0:03:23 > 0:03:26after that few years, I don't think we'd be together.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28It's threatening to cause a rift between then.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30At this stage he wants to move out, I don't,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32so we do want different things.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35So that in itself puts a bit of strain on the relationship
0:03:35 > 0:03:38as if to say like, if you want this, I want that, why are we together?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Jon doesn't just want to move out -
0:03:41 > 0:03:44he wants to jump straight on the property ladder as well.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Jon is more of a mortgage kind of guy.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I don't want to just throw money away for renting, I'd rather...
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Yeah, whereas my views are rent for now.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56But Rob's agreed to try moving out,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59so we're giving them a chance to road test it for a week.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Want to try some of this?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- How will this pampered prince cope without Mum?- Oh, my God.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07My mum cooks, she does the washing, she'll iron my shirts
0:04:07 > 0:04:08and get them ready in my wardrobe,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11whereas if I was on my own, no-one's going to do that for me.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13So to convince him to move out,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17will Jon have to become Rob's housemaid as well as housemate?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I'll definitely be doing stuff for him all the time, I like things
0:04:20 > 0:04:23to be in its place, I like things to be done, clean, tidy.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25It's not that messy, it's not as if you can't move in here.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Why is there a damp towel on the bed?- That's yours.- That's not mine.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I like things done a certain way, I like them done my way or no way,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33so I'm stubborn in that sense.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I'm very organised, so it's all very colour-coordinated,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37so it goes from white down to dark.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And it's not just the housework that's got to be done right.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42We've spoken about engagement
0:04:42 > 0:04:45and apparently I'm the one that's going to be proposing.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- Yeah.- Yeah, he's told me that.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50That's right, after moving out, getting a mortgage
0:04:50 > 0:04:53and organising the sock drawer, Jon wants Rob to tie the knot.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58And it's planned to perfection.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02I've already decided the colour theme and I'd want a silver
0:05:02 > 0:05:06or platinum band with two diamonds in to represent me and him.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Go, Jon. Meanwhile Rob's just worrying about how
0:05:09 > 0:05:11he can survive away from his number one lady.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14If we just moved house within Swansea, I personally would
0:05:14 > 0:05:17see my mum three, four times a week.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Four times a week? That's a lot.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I've grown up with four other people in my house constantly,
0:05:22 > 0:05:23so if I need them, they're there,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25constantly, you're never on your own.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28If I was to leave this home environment, it would be tough
0:05:28 > 0:05:32to adjust to getting home and no-one would be there, it would be hard.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40And it's Mummy's boys galore cos here's another one.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Meet Rennick and his girlfriend Jodie, both 18.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I'd describe Rennick as funny, really caring.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49She has a natural beauty to her, innit?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53And her eye colour and everything so I was just like, damn.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55They met two years ago
0:05:55 > 0:05:59when Jodie was an extra in rapper Rennick's music video.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04When I saw her I was just like, this girl looks nice, jeez!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07From then I just persuaded and charmed her.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Obviously he was busy doing other things,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12but every time he was in the room, he was a bit flirty.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15We always said it was meant to happen
0:06:15 > 0:06:18because if we never done the video shoot, we would have never met.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Ah, bless! Now they live together in Gillingham, Kent,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24with Rennick's mum Dana and sister Latasha.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29But being a young couple in the family home has one big disadvantage.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34The privacy's about 0%.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36My bedroom's right in the middle,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39so then my sister's room's literally there,
0:06:39 > 0:06:40so for her to go to the toilet,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43to go downstairs to make a drink, she has to come through my room.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46So obviously you can't do certain activities.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Definitely too close for comfort.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Not surprisingly, these two want their own love shack.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I want to move out so we can just be independent,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00then have children, get married hopefully, just build a life really.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03We definitely want to try to be independent as a couple
0:07:03 > 0:07:04and see how we'll cope.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I'm ready to take that jump and take the next step.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10But the path to independence might not be so easy.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Problem one, they're both desperate for jobs
0:07:13 > 0:07:16which they'll need to make it in the real world.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23If a job called me tomorrow for a bin man, I'd say yeah, I don't care.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'm not one of them people that have an ego to say, I ain't doing that.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29As long as I'm getting money to help my mum out.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's just a letdown though, innit?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Yeah, it is a letdown when you try so hard and still don't get anything.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Jodie's looking for a job in childcare.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I enjoy being around kids a lot.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43To be able to teach them, to see them gradually get better at things
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and knowing that I'd helped them do that would be great as well.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49And Rennick dreams his music will help him pay the bills.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52From now, we'll drop into the chorus which is...
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I just want to be able to make a nice living off it
0:07:54 > 0:07:57and for people to listen to it and just get a message
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and for it to influence people.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02For now, Rennick's mum foots the household bills,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05which means thrifty spending is essential.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I'm doing my budget, £80, two weeks for four people,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and in there we have to get our meat, pasta,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16500 rolls of toilet roll cos Rennick gets through a lot.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Oh, bit too much information.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Despite Mum providing all home comforts,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23the couple still want to try living alone for a week.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28I feel excited, but I'm scared at the same time, so...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31It's no wonder that Jodie's nervous
0:08:31 > 0:08:33because problem two in the move-out mission -
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Rennick and his mum are inseparable.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41# How sweet it is to be loved by you
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Rennick is definitely a mummy's boy.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46They're so close and it's good, it is good,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49but she does basically everything for him.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55When I've finished work, I come home, do the cooking, any cleaning.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58This is something Rennick never does, is mop the floor.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I'm definitely a mummy's boy, I'm not scared to say that.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I feel like we just have a bond, like a really strong bond.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Two years ago, Rennick became the man of the house
0:09:06 > 0:09:07when his parents separated.
0:09:07 > 0:09:13When my dad left, that bond grew as my mum and my best friend,
0:09:13 > 0:09:14like the love for her is a lot.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I'm quite protective of all the females in my family - my mum,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Jodie - with my dad leaving, I think that made me more of a man.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Dana's dreading the thought of her boy flying the nest.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Personally I wouldn't want them to move out yet, that's only
0:09:27 > 0:09:30because I'm being selfish, that's all I ever wanted to have kids
0:09:30 > 0:09:34and I'd just like them to be around me as long as possible.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'm too nervous and worried and...
0:09:36 > 0:09:37They're only going for a week.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40A week's a big deal to a mother.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42This is my boy leaving home for a week.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45But Rennick's realised that to do right by his mum means
0:09:45 > 0:09:47standing on his own two feet.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I want to move out and just be independent man really,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54invite my mum round for dinner, be able to do stuff for her a bit more.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58With no money and no domestic skills, how will they cope?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I don't think Rennick and Jodie fully understand how much I do
0:10:02 > 0:10:04and how stressful it can be.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10So we've got two massive mummy's boys, one being dragged away
0:10:10 > 0:10:12and prepped for marriage and a mortgage.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15If we just moved house within Swansea, I personally would
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- see my mum three, four times a week. - That's a lot.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21And another hoping he and his skint other half can live on love alone.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23If a job called me tomorrow for a bin man, I'd say yeah.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I want to move out so we can just be independent.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Can their relationships last in the real world?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- I forgot to take the list with me. - The list we spent ages doing?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- I'm going to leave you to it then. - Why?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Cos you're getting stressy over a cake.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37You ain't done no hand washing since we've been here,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- you're taking the mick.- Aaahh!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43We're giving both couples the money they need to try renting
0:10:43 > 0:10:46a place of their own for a week, but it's the same budget
0:10:46 > 0:10:49they would have if they were going it alone for real.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Over in Swansea, Jon and Rob are working out exactly how much that would be.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- How much do you earn per month? - £1,100.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01OK, and mine's about £1,350.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03With both of them working full-time,
0:11:03 > 0:11:07combined they earn a healthy £612 a week.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- And then out of that, we've got to take travel, gym.- Hair cut.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14They might earn decent cash, but they can spend it too.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- £100 clothes? - £100 on clothes a month?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- £1,887.- What? Oh, we spend a lot.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23No, that's left.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Oh, OK, that's better, OK.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29The boys calculate they have about 150 quid a week for rent,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32but with their tastes it might not get them far.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I'd like to have a gym and a walk-in wardrobe, en suites,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I'd like to have chandeliers and Egyptian cotton sheets,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I'd like to have the life of luxury.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Good to aim high there.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Less ambitious are Rennick and Jodie who are working out
0:11:47 > 0:11:49where their Job Seeker's Allowance actually goes.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Travel, that's about a tenner,
0:11:51 > 0:11:56phone contracts - yours is £21, mine's £33.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58But their biggest expense is Rennick's music.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Studio probably £30.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Not to mention threads to fit his image.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07We now know what makes me broke. I'm not impressed.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09A boy needs his things.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Yeah, but you're saying that now,
0:12:10 > 0:12:15but what about if it got to the point where we couldn't even eat?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I'm not starving because of you.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20But she's got her own weaknesses.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23When I first got with Jodie, I was like, you need to
0:12:23 > 0:12:26upgrade your foot swag and we started going trainer shopping
0:12:26 > 0:12:29and then I think she just got addicted.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31This is all my trainers, most of them anyway,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33these are my favourite white trainers,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I've not worn these once, as you can see.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And Rennick's just as bad.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42My trainers cost like £100 upwards, but I want to get more, much more.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I think these were the most expensive, I think they were like 70.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47It's literally building up, building up, building up,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51so by next year we'll have 50 pairs if the money's there, definitely.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Some people collect art, we just collect trainers really.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00They're going to have to tighten their belts...and shoelaces.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04If we cut clothes off, we'd be in a better position.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08There you go, no trainers, so that gives you an extra £30.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13With Housing Benefit, Rennick and Jodie have a weekly budget of £220,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15not much once rent's taken out.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21With their cash counted, our couples go hunting for a pad.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24First they both view one that's under budget,
0:13:24 > 0:13:29but Welsh princes Jon and Rob don't quite find the palace they were after.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30While it's all right for storage...
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Walk-in wardrobe? Perfect, there's plenty of room.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36..the view isn't up to Jon's high standards.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I don't really want to be looking at those builders either,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41they're not even good looking, so what's the point?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Rennick and Jodie start off cheap too, with a studio,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48which the estate agent describes as...
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- It's very compact.- It's tiny. - So this would be the bedroom.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Living area/dining area. - The living area.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57But on the plus side it's only £100 a week.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- It's way too small. - Next up, it's some pricier pads.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Naturally, Jon and Rob think it's much more them.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Oh, this is good.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- It's gorgeous.- Oh, I like this.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Oh!- Oh, my God!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Let's just leave that, that's fine, let's go.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18The view in this swanky crib gets Jon's rare seal of approval,
0:14:18 > 0:14:19so they take it.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Oh, I really like it.- Yeah, me too.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24But it's over budget at £170 a week.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Ah, it's very nice.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Also upping their standards, Rennick and Jodie find a one-bed with all the mod cons.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Hello? All right, mate, cool. You need to press that, yeah?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- All right.- Even a telly.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38That's the first thing you want to check, the TV.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40And best of all, it's not compact.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43We can put all our trainers in there cos it's quite high.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Yeah, it's definitely nice.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49But room for all your kicks comes at a price - 150 quid a week.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Even so, they decide to take it.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Are you happy?- Yeah. - I'm happy as well.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58While Jon and Rob might have to lay off the luxuries,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Rennick and Jodie will be left with just £20 after bills.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Will their relationship crack under the pressure?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09But Jon's certainly not worrying about money -
0:15:09 > 0:15:11he has a new home to decorate.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Get this, this as well...
0:15:12 > 0:15:16He's popped back to his mum's to pack for the big move out with boyfriend Rob.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19This is how I want to decorate the house anyway, so I'm already prepared.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21So I've just got candles, candle holders.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24In my head I know how I want the place to look.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Get some paint samples and things like that.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30I think Rob might kick off a bit if I just take over, but we'll see.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34But whilst Jon is planning for a permanent relocation...
0:15:34 > 0:15:40I bought new bowls, some bedding to go with it, glasses.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42..it doesn't look like the same can be said for Rob.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Two shirts. I've got my running stuff,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47that's what you take on holiday, isn't it, for a week?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Jon arrives to quality check Rob's packing.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Rob, are you taking this? - Yeah, take the purple one.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Do you want this with it? - What is it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Exactly, you tell me.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Meanwhile, it's hitting Mum that it's really happening.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It's hard to let go.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Now, all of a sudden, I'm not going to have any...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10any say in what they're doing or where they're living.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I'm not going to be number one any more.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I will miss having somebody coming home saying, "Hi, Mum!"
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Well, maybe I'll say "Hi, Mum!" - You can say it instead, yeah.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25And before they know it,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28it's time for their youngest to leave the family home.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Oh, well, it's been lovely having you.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I will be coming back, fear not.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38- Enjoy.- Thank you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It's a bit sad though, last one leaving the nest.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Yeah.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Ah, you're all right, come on.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52- I'm all right.- You'll be fine.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'll be fine.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15And it's a difficult time for Rennick's mum too
0:17:15 > 0:17:17as her only son flies the nest.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20We move in tomorrow, so I need to get everything packed and planned,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22but my mum's staying at her boyfriend's tonight,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25so I ain't going to see her when we leave tomorrow,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27so it's going to be emotional.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Saying goodbye is not going to be easy for Dana.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Rennick and Jodie are moving out, I know they have to at some point
0:17:38 > 0:17:42but it makes me a bit sad thinking about it, cos we're so close.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Are you going?- Yeah.- Don't cry.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Bye, Son, love you.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Good luck, miss you.
0:17:53 > 0:18:00I feel sad, but I know he's growing up, he has to eventually move out
0:18:00 > 0:18:04but if I had my own way, I'd keep him with me all the time.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- I'll call you.- Bye.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Stop doing that horrible face I don't like it, bye, love you.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16See you later, bye.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Right, have a good night, love you. - Have fun.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I guess this is where it starts now.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Yeah, I'm going to miss my mum definitely,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- but I'm 19 this year, so... - It's time.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31It's time, innit? Probably when I have kids and they move out it's going to feel the same, innit?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37The next morning Rennick's packing his essentials.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Just take every hat cos I don't know what one I want to wear.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Why is there so much stuff?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44And Jodie's making sure she's kitted out too.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48I'm taking four pairs of trainers, five cos one's on my foot too.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52With mum out of sight, Rennick's less worried about missing her
0:18:52 > 0:18:55and more worried about feeding his belly.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Noodles, pasta.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- You can't take her food. - I can, she loves me.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02All that remains is to squeeze their worldly possessions
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- into a friend's car. - You know there's loads more?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- I'm just going to bung some weights on you, is that all right?- No.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Just by your feet. - I'm not comfortable.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14And it's a stressy start for both couples.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Still out of order. - Oh, you're kidding me.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Hi, home.- Aww!
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Jon wants his and Rob's move to be permanent,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30so he's got to make this week work.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Step one, make the place look nice.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Can you bin those lamps?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- You can't bin them.- Shall we take that picture down as well?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Step two, prevent food poisoning.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Rob just left cheese out all day, as if...
0:19:43 > 0:19:44It's fine.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Step three, domesticate Rob.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Oh, no. That's fine.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I just dropped it down the toilet.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57That's OK, we'll just take that out...
0:19:58 > 0:20:00..and not tell Jon.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Step four, make it affordable.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08After pimping their pad, the boys sit down to talk money.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Instead of a piggy bank, Jon's got his favourite mug.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I don't know how true it'll be, we'll see by the end of the week
0:20:14 > 0:20:16if he still thinks this, but we will see.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- So, what are we budgeting for? - Bills, that's the main one.- So £50.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26There's also the small subject of all those candles and lamps and bowls.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31I bought stuff today, so that's £60.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32I don't understand what you spent £60 on.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Lamps, bedding. - Have you bought me something?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37You can sleep in the bedding, the lamp, you can use the lamp.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- That's fine, just don't do it again. - As if.
0:20:40 > 0:20:46But despite Jon's splurge, they've still got a whopping £208 to spend after bills.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- We can do that.- Yeah.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Money to spare.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Which is a good job
0:20:51 > 0:20:54because the pair have invited their mates round for drinks.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- We spent £53. - Yeah, £53, but,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05always a but, about £25 of it was on alcohol
0:21:05 > 0:21:07and we bought towels as well,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09so it's kind of an investment really.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Oh, you've got the Stock Exchange shaking in its boots.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Who needs to eat, innit?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Yeah, we'll make cuts somewhere else, we'll be fine.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- It's not cool. - Not a great start, but...
0:21:19 > 0:21:20It's going to be a good night.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Yeah, it's going to be a good night, yeah.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27So money that could have gone on the mortgage Jon desperately wants
0:21:27 > 0:21:31has been spent on booze and Swansea's entire hairspray supply.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41And the guests arrive just in time for some Valleys tanning advice.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Hmm...I think go on, shove a bit on, why not?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Tanning, see? That's all you need.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- So, Jon, how are you feeling? - Not too bad actually,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56yeah, it's quite nice,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59it feels weird that this is our house, do you know what I mean?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02It'd be good to stay, definitely. Hello there.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07When they polish off the booze at home,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10it's off to town to spend even more money.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Whilst Rob doesn't look like he's missing his mum,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18it's time for Mummy's boy number two Rennick
0:22:18 > 0:22:22to get his first taste of freedom with girlfriend Jodie.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Let's open the door. This is it. - Go, go, go!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Where's the TV?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I'd rather have the TV than the sofa.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Hey, the TV is here! - Hooray!
0:22:35 > 0:22:36I'm actually happy now.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39With that emergency over, Rennick's turning his attention
0:22:39 > 0:22:41to his chronic fear of...
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Insects, dust, fleas, anything that can crawl on my skin.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Just watch the OCD kick in.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50But without Mum to clean, it's up to them
0:22:50 > 0:22:53to get down and dirty in the bedroom.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Babe, you're spraying it in my face.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57That's nasty, ugh!
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Ugh, there's hair, don't do other people's hair fragments.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03No, what's that?
0:23:04 > 0:23:05It's making me itchy.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Babe, you're flicking it everywhere.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Do you want to do it?- I wouldn't be flicking it on you, would I?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Do you want to do it, yes or no? - No.- Well shut up then.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Their new home isn't sweeping, Rennick and Jodie off their feet
0:23:19 > 0:23:23and making 70 quid last a week is not going to be fun.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27We need to take out £50.30 for the bills,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31so we're left with £22 for the week. I think we can do that.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Not with travel.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Yeah, take away travel.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40How are we going to do a shop for a week on £11.84?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- And the negativity kicks in again. - It's just the truth.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45There's many ways it's possible,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48cos I'm determined not to go into the bill money.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Plan B.- Sell the TV. No, I'm joking, it's not ours.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Not quite that desperate...yet, the couple head off to the shops
0:23:57 > 0:24:00and spend just over a tenner on some basic food
0:24:00 > 0:24:02and all the crisps in the world.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08This is her choice, 24. I said let's just get... 99p, you get ten packs,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11she's like, "No, there's no point, I want the 24 packs."
0:24:11 > 0:24:13They're not going to get their five a day.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17But now Rennick can show what a domestic god he is in the kitchen.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20That looks disgusting, but I ain't cooking on that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23That is if he can work the cooker.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Hit me! What would you do without me, babe, eh?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Hm, not that impressive.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Wow, when was the last time they put this on?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Call for the fan, which doesn't work.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Oh, my lord!- Take it out, it's burnt. - This grill is mash up.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I'm not even looking forward to this that much anymore now.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I hate this grill and I hate this oven
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and I hate this stove.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53The big man of the house hasn't quite mastered life without Mum.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Luckily, Jodie's easily pleased.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- It's all right.- Mm.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59I think it's hard though.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01At my mum's house we just eat like it's nothing
0:25:01 > 0:25:04cos she always just supplies dinner and I feel kind of sorry for her.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Missing Mum, or maybe just a fully stocked fridge?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I don't think this is going to last a week because Jodie's already
0:25:11 > 0:25:14on her third pack of crisps in the space of about 30 minutes.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Yeah, but there's 24. - Now there's 20.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Facing a week living on crisps,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22these two really need to land some jobs.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Money is not proving a problem so far in Wales.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Rob's up bright and early to earn more pennies at work,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34while Jon indulges in his favourite hobby, tidying.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Feels strange waking up into a house that is not yours,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39your first time you're a bit like, oh God, where am I?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41But it wasn't too bad, it was all right.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Yeah, I could get used to it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46After their splurge at the shops, they only took out 20 quid
0:25:46 > 0:25:48and came home with money to spare.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54£8.59, spent £12 last night, so get me a T-shirt or something, that, today.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Yeah, splash that cash, Jon, or on second thoughts...
0:25:57 > 0:26:01I do need to go food shopping cos all Rob's family's coming over tonight, so we've made the list.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04so as long as I stick to the list I'm sure we'll be fine.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Rob's been parted from his folks for just 48 hours,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11but he's invited them tonight and Jon's in charge of buying supplies.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I forgot to take the list with me,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16so...I don't know, hopefully I've got everything.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20So Mr Perfect has to fess up, he's messed up.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I know you said you wanted enchiladas,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25but they didn't have any enchilada kits, so I got fajitas instead.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Right, one of them? - Yeah, cos there's eight in a pack.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I know you wanted mixed fruit, but I got strawberries and...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35There is an explanation for everything because...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I forgot to take the list with me, I left it in the house,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40so I had to kind of...pick it up as I went along
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- The list that we spent ages doing? - It wasn't that long.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Rob's trying to make tonight a triumph and Jon's defo not helping.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It'll be nice just to spend some time with everyone,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52not in their house, but in my flat.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yeah, it'll be nice for everyone to get together.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57In a brave bid to impress, Rob is making a cake.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I put the eggs into the flour, it's not bad.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- What? Oh.- All right.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- No, you need to do it again. - Yeah, I know, I just told you that.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06I'll just put it in the bin, yeah?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Yeah, then just redo the flour and egg.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- I'm going to leave you to it then. - Why?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Cos you're getting stressy over a cake.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Oh, my God, a bloody stupid cake!
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Would you have done it more strategically?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Yeah, I wouldn't have got mine all over the floor.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Bickering aside, Rob has crafted a masterpiece.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Where's Dad? Ah!
0:27:29 > 0:27:35Kathryn, Steve, Rob's sister Amy and brother Dave come bearing presents.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Ah, thank you very much. - House-warming gift.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Aw, thank you.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Here you are, that's to stop you getting constipated.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Oh, thanks.- Full of fibre.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49Oh, after that appetising advice, the family sit down to eat.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51To Rob and Jon's new home.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54ALL: Cheers!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Really lovely.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Well done.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Very nice, Jon.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Really enjoyed it.- Aw.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Rob's shown he's coping without the parents, but what do they think?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09I think Rob will get a little bit homesick from time to time
0:28:09 > 0:28:14because we're a very close family and he just loves his home comforts.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Dessert! Yeah!
0:28:16 > 0:28:17CHEERING
0:28:19 > 0:28:20This is it. Oh, wow!
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Oh, hey!
0:28:26 > 0:28:28This is me and that's you.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32OK, who is the most likely to propose?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I told him he has to.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Actually as we're here. No!
0:28:41 > 0:28:44LAUGHTER
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I got all excited then.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52While Rob feels the heat about getting hitched,
0:28:52 > 0:28:57things have been hotting up for Rennick and Jodie.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Spending the night together alone without Latasha coming through
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- the room, it was actually, it was good.- Yeah,
0:29:04 > 0:29:06cos I felt like I could just sleep.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Yeah, wild!
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Well, they're sort of making the most of life away from home,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16but how's mum Dana doing without them?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Found it very, very hard him not being here.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I haven't enjoyed the quiet,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25I haven't enjoyed the space,
0:29:25 > 0:29:30so no, it's been quite traumatic, I've been really moody,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33really moody.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37I'd make the most of it Dana cos they might be back sooner than you think.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43There is £1, £1.38 left,
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- so that lasted less than 24 hours. - We just thought it'd be
0:29:47 > 0:29:51easy and we'd be able to cope, but it is hard, so.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Already I feel like I actually understand what my mum has to
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- do...- Yeah.- ..and everything and actually understand how hard it is.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I think this morning was more of a wake-up call,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02literally opened my wallet and there was less than £2 in there.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05And this has just made me want to get off Job Seeker's even more.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08But right now that's easier said than done.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12I've been out of college since, for about two months.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Since then I've literally probably applied for over a hundred
0:30:15 > 0:30:18and something jobs. It feels like I'm constantly job applying
0:30:18 > 0:30:20and not getting nothing back.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23With no jobs and no money, fleeing the nest could be just a pipedream.
0:30:23 > 0:30:29They're so skint they're going to flog some precious threads.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Desperate times calls for desperate measures.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34But they both know what they really need is a job,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36so Rennick steps things up a gear.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Yeah, that sounds, that sounds fantastic.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41All right then, cheers for that, bye.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45I got work experience at KMSM Radio, so that's a big thing for me
0:30:45 > 0:30:47to even put down on my CV.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Determined to find some money Rennick puts his music skills
0:30:50 > 0:30:52to good use.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56It's KMFM Breakfast with Rob and Emma, just gone eight o'clock.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Nice to see you, how are you?- Yeah, I'm good man.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02This is what we control when we're on air, although I've
0:31:02 > 0:31:05got to produce everything you see here, I would be in control of.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09I never knew it was this hands-on cos literally the radio
0:31:09 > 0:31:13stations I go to ain't this big, so it's literally just a computer.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Back at the flat it's an A for effort in Jodie's job hunt.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Hi, Sarah, it's Jodie.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Hello, I'm just calling about the work experience for Friday.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24I have got work experience in a summer club for children.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Yeah, I'm excited cos you never know what the outcome could be.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30If she impresses it could lead to a paid apprenticeship.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- This'll look quite similar to what you do.- Yeah.- Up here you'll see
0:31:34 > 0:31:37everything from the drum kicks.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40I think you're really multi-talented and you're kind of inspiring me
0:31:40 > 0:31:43to push more outside of just singing.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47I think if I proper knuckle down now and find who I want to be,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50find what I want to do, I can do it cos anything's possible.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Anything might be possible, but Rennick needs a paid job soon
0:31:54 > 0:31:56if he wants to keep his crib.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I was just searching the job sites and I found a music,
0:31:59 > 0:32:02um and radio apprenticeship.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05I could be learning music production and getting paid for that
0:32:05 > 0:32:07and still look for a part-time job.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09If everything went positive by the end of this week maybe
0:32:09 > 0:32:14- I'll have an apprenticeship.- But that won't help the cash flow crisis now.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Tonight they're hosting a house warming on just £1,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20but there's always the bill money.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Into the pot, this feels bad, I feel guilty.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25And that's all going on booze.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30£52 spent in two days, less than two days, that's impressive,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33good budgeting.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Despite the party vibe, for Rennick home is where the heart is.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39I'm disappointed my mum's not coming, I think it would
0:32:39 > 0:32:40have been much better with her here cos
0:32:40 > 0:32:43I would have just been able to see her.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45'Course I'm missing my mum, if I weren't that,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48that would be a bit weird, innit?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51But for now it's party time.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- House warming time? - House warming time.- Let's roll.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59MUSIC PLAYS
0:32:59 > 0:33:02It's all right tonight, but now they're totally skint.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Everything rests on their apprenticeship interviews tomorrow.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Back in Swansea Jon has only two days left to persuade
0:33:11 > 0:33:14boyfriend Rob to move out of his parent's for good.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17I think we're just enjoying being here at the moment,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19we're just enjoying having our own space.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Yeah, definitely enjoying the independence,
0:33:21 > 0:33:24it's nice having it back and then the thought of not having it again
0:33:24 > 0:33:28is a little bit, erm, upsetting, so I'm going to speak to Rob
0:33:28 > 0:33:31as well cos obviously it's a joint thing so it's about how he's feeling.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Right, see you later.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40While Jon heads to the office, Rob's meeting mates Debbie and Ellary
0:33:40 > 0:33:42to discuss maybe moving out.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43How is it living with Jon though?
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- It's nice, it's really nice, yeah.- Is there enough space,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49it's quite small, you can't escape each other if you're doing each other's heads in?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- We don't do each other's heads in. - No, but when you do eventually do.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Yeah, I know what you mean, yeah.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57We need to seriously think about thinking is it worth it? Am I happy?
0:33:57 > 0:34:01- Do we need to do it now?- Yeah. - But I think it's inevitable that we're going to move out,
0:34:01 > 0:34:03it's just when and he's ready now and I'm not.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06It's about time he moved out of his mum and dad's house now,
0:34:06 > 0:34:08we've all moved out and it's time for him
0:34:08 > 0:34:13to just see the real world and just grow up a bit.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18Grow up Rob is the message from his mates, but what do his mum and dad think?
0:34:18 > 0:34:21He's kept a really low profile, didn't he, the last few days?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- Yeah.- Normally we see him every day,
0:34:23 > 0:34:27yeah, it's changed. The dynamics of the house has changed a bit.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- Yeah, so it's just me and you, like bookends.- Ah, good.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Ah. If they want their baby back they've got a fight on their hands.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Jon is determined to move him out, so today he wants to show him
0:34:39 > 0:34:42a good time.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46- Pottery making? You want to paint pottery?- Yeah.- On your day off?- Yeah.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- Spa day with Prosecco, £49.- No.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Well, what would you like do then, Mr Ideas?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54You might regret saying that Jon.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Rob takes him for a little lesson at the gym.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- I can see your bum cheeks.- Stop it.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I think I've got a headache.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10After working up an appetite - it's time for cake.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- Oh, wow! thank you.- Thank you.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14And the sticky subject of moving out.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16So you don't feel you're missing out on anything?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- No, I don't at the moment. - That's good.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20There's things living at home which are nice, but there's
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- things that living on your own as well which are good.- Yeah.- It's good to see we can live together.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27I think there's pros and cons, but I think all the cons just don't
0:35:27 > 0:35:30matter cos we all, every night we're coming home together.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Knowing that you're about to come home and then hearing
0:35:32 > 0:35:35the doorbell going then your face coming up on the little
0:35:35 > 0:35:37screen - it's really made me think that it may be time to move out.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Rob's big change of heart is music to Jon's ears,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44but can he get him signed up to the mortgage plan?
0:35:46 > 0:35:50It's a budget diet of crisps instead of cake for Rennick and Jodie.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Unless they can find jobs, they'll have no choice but to return home.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57I still have that determination that I want to still move, yeah,
0:35:57 > 0:36:00that's not changed. I think we're both on the same page now,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I think we both know we need jobs to be able to get a house.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Do you want to go change your shoes?
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Broke but happy, that's how we're living.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10I am broke, no monies.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15I don't think there's even £1. There's no cup...where is it?
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Get me? Cleaned out, we cleaned it and everything.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25So the pressure's on and today they're on a mission to get work.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27I just hope she does well.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28I'm kind of feeling a bit nervous,
0:36:28 > 0:36:32but I think once I'm there I'll think like, "Why was I nervous?"
0:36:32 > 0:36:34It'll go all right, hopefully.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38I've got faith in her, definitely. I have to have faith in her, get me?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41No-one else does. I'm joking, I'm joking.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46- She just needs to believe in herself more. Love you.- Love you too.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Aww, if only they could live on love alone.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51But today Jodie has to impress at the childcare centre
0:36:51 > 0:36:54because there's the chance of a paid job at the end of it.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57What makes you want to work with children?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Um, I done work experience when I was in Year Ten
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- and then once I done it I really enjoyed it.- You did?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05That's the best experience you can get, is working in a nursery.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10With the apprenticeship, um, for your age it's £2.65 an hour.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I know it doesn't sound a lot of money,
0:37:12 > 0:37:14but eventually at the end of the apprenticeship
0:37:14 > 0:37:17you'll be on the same money as everybody else,
0:37:17 > 0:37:18so it is the best way to gain
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- the qualifications and the experience I believe.- Yeah.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26If they want any hope of living together, they have to find work,
0:37:26 > 0:37:30so Rennick's hard at it with an interview at a radio station.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Rennick. You all right? Nice to meet you.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- It's an apprenticeship scheme that runs over 12 months.- Yeah.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Within the 12 months we do marketing, we do production,
0:37:39 > 0:37:43we do, um radio presentation. If you work hard enough at this
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I think there's a very good opportunity, not only just working
0:37:46 > 0:37:49with the radio aspect, if you're musically inclined.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- I sing as well.- Do you?- Yeah, songwriter.- Rap?- Yeah.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55This is an opportunity where we can give you a place to record you
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- and plug you on the radio. - Exactly, yeah.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00So we've got a recording studio as well, so we do all our own jingles.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Yeah.- Plus we record all the,
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- all the artists that perform up here for free.- Oh, yeah.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09So not only would Rennick be making money if he landed this gig,
0:38:09 > 0:38:11he'd be saving money too.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13I'm loving the look of this place.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18We've got someone special to come and play with us today,
0:38:18 > 0:38:20her name's Jodie, all say hello to Jodie.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Hello, Jodie.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Do you want this much? - Yeah, that's fine. Aww.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30It's really nice here. They seem to be enjoying themselves.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Yeah, I could see myself in a place like this.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35What's your situation, are you at home with mum and dad?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Well, basically my dad, left about two years ago,
0:38:38 > 0:38:42so literally it's just my mum and me and my sister and my girlfriend.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- That's my home situation, it's not good.- View this
0:38:45 > 0:38:48here as almost a part-time, that you can do other things,
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- you can still study and everything. - Yeah.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52If you find another job tomorrow
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- we will re-accommodate it, you won't lose out.- Yeah.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56We'll make a schedule to suit you.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59That sounds really supportive and positive.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Honestly if I get this then I'll just show you all my hard work
0:39:02 > 0:39:04what I can do, my dedication, my determination.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07That'll make me the happiest guy on earth.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Definitely, that's all I can offer you is my best.- Perfect.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13While things seem to be going well for Rennick,
0:39:13 > 0:39:16at the end of Jodie's day did she impress?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19We really would like you to come and volunteer with us
0:39:19 > 0:39:21as soon as you want to
0:39:21 > 0:39:24and then be able to offer you an apprenticeship in January.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Yeah, I like the sound of that, it sounds really good.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I didn't think that the result would be that good.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Things are finally looking up.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Jodie will be bringing home a paycheck in her dream job soon,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39but Rennick's been left on tenterhooks.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42If I get this I'll be doing something I love with them
0:39:42 > 0:39:46paying me £78 a week, that's only I think maybe one day or two days,
0:39:46 > 0:39:50so literally I can still look for a part-time job as well.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51That's going to be really good.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I think my mum's going to be really happy.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57While Rennick and Jodie are inching closer to their dream,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00mummy's boy Rob is morphing into Mr Sensible.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Want me to take the bin out next?
0:40:02 > 0:40:03Go on, then, you can take it.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05I guess it is a man's job.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09He's coming round to the idea of moving in with Jon for good.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I really like being independent.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14I was the one reluctant to move out, he was the driver of
0:40:14 > 0:40:17the whole thing, but I'm coming round to the idea, definitely.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21I know my mum and my dad and family will be there if I need to go over.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22But also it's nice that Jon's there
0:40:22 > 0:40:24and we get to spend time with each other as well.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27So yeah, I'm definitely coming round to the fact that maybe it is
0:40:27 > 0:40:30time now to take our relationship to the next level and maybe move out.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35And Mr Sensible's seeing that Mr Perfect isn't so perfect after all.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36And push.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38When you dried yourself with new towels you just turned up
0:40:38 > 0:40:41like the Grinch cos they were green and just green fluff everywhere.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43So Jon's put them in the washing machine
0:40:43 > 0:40:45and he didn't put washing powder in there.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Yeah, they do stink, actually.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Oh, no, that's not nice.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Yeah, they can go back in.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56With decision day tomorrow,
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Jon is taking advantage of Rob's recent change of heart.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03And he's taking him to discuss mortgages with financial advisor John.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06We just want to see what we could actually borrow
0:41:06 > 0:41:08cos we're at the very, very first rung of the ladder really.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11OK, can you tell me what your salaries are?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Mine's about 20 for the year.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Mine's around 16.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Roughly you're going to be able to get a mortgage of about £140,000.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- But you also would need a substantial deposit.- Yeah.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24To buy a property of that value.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Say a property we saw that was 130 grand,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30what kind of deposit would we realistically put down?
0:41:30 > 0:41:31£13,000 minimum.
0:41:31 > 0:41:3213 grand, OK.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- So we have to save...- Yeah.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- Just save and save and save. - Yeah, that's true.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Despite having a little nest egg
0:41:38 > 0:41:42it looks like Jon's not got enough to get a mortgage.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Yeah, it's a lot of money which we haven't got at the moment.- No.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49No closer to a decision on their new flat, they take a walk,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52hoping for inspiration from Mother Nature.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57The thought of possibly leaving or staying
0:41:57 > 0:42:01- we're still like 50/50 on which side to do, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06The thought of someone else living there now, I don't like it cos that's ours.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08That's our flat, get out.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12The only thing for me is the financial side of it.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14I know, but it's two bedroom, we don't use two bedrooms,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17we don't need two bedrooms, do we? We only need one really.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Only if we argue.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Still unable to agree, Jon decides to talk to
0:42:22 > 0:42:24his friend and neighbour Jasmine.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26- Hello there, you OK? - Nice to see you.- You all right?
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Yeah, I'm good. So are you thinking of staying?
0:42:30 > 0:42:32We're still a bit undecided, we would love to stay in the flat
0:42:32 > 0:42:34cos Rob was saying he feels like it's his house now.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Oh, I know, that's the thing, once you move in you get
0:42:37 > 0:42:40so used to it and your independence that you don't want to leave.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44That's the main thing, now that we've done it, he's experienced it and he's like,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47"I feel I need to move out," he wants to live together which is really, really nice.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51I can picture you and Rob living away, like, together.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52- Yeah.- Aww.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55It's big decisions though, isn't it? It's a big commitment.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57But I think you can do it.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59He's done a bit better than I thought he would, Rob.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Cos I thought I would be constantly cleaning, I thought I'd
0:43:02 > 0:43:05be tidying up all the time, but he's actually done some of it himself.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Jon has no idea how much Rob is doing
0:43:08 > 0:43:11to show him how much he's changed.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13He's expecting probably lasagne for tea tonight,
0:43:13 > 0:43:16but I've bought some nice food, so hopefully when he gets back
0:43:16 > 0:43:18he's going to have nice food waiting for him.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20He's going to pick up on the dust straightaway,
0:43:20 > 0:43:24he'll be like "Oh, it's so nice," the table's very dusty, isn't it?
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Yes, Jon, yes, it is.
0:43:27 > 0:43:28Hello.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30- Hello.- Hiya.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Ah, look at that.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38Aww, you're such a cutie.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40Ah, I think I might even cry.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44What have I done to deserve this?
0:43:44 > 0:43:45You've been you.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Oh, cheesefest.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51When else do we get the chance to do this?
0:43:51 > 0:43:52Like we live together,
0:43:52 > 0:43:55we can do like surprises for each other and like...
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- Mm, and no-one else is going to be in the house?- Yeah.- Mm.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01My theory is that... I absolutely love this flat.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03- Yeah.- In an ideal world I'd stay.
0:44:03 > 0:44:08I'd like to, like us to still live together, but I come into this
0:44:08 > 0:44:11thinking "I only want a mortgage, I don't want to rent, I don't
0:44:11 > 0:44:15"want to, like pay into something that I'm never going to see again."
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Now that getting a mortgage is a no-go
0:44:18 > 0:44:21it seems Jon is getting cold feet.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24At least the pair agree on one thing.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26It's been good to have our own space, I think that's
0:44:26 > 0:44:28what we wanted all along, wasn't it?
0:44:28 > 0:44:30It's been a testament to the fact that our relationship is
0:44:30 > 0:44:32actually really healthy because we haven't argued.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Yeah, I think this has added to our relationship, hasn't it?
0:44:35 > 0:44:37It hasn't taken anything away, or it hasn't made it worse,
0:44:37 > 0:44:42it's only enhanced it and made it, made it that little bit stronger.
0:44:42 > 0:44:43So cheers on that one.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46Jon's persuaded Rob independent life can be fun,
0:44:46 > 0:44:49but will it be Move Out Mission accomplished?
0:44:50 > 0:44:53On Rennick and Jodie's final day in the flat
0:44:53 > 0:44:55they've both seen some changes.
0:44:55 > 0:44:59Well, I remember, like I think it was like the day before we came here
0:44:59 > 0:45:01we had an argument and I was like "I don't think I can live with you."
0:45:01 > 0:45:04- Yeah, I know. - And he was like, don't worry, same.
0:45:04 > 0:45:05And now we've actually done it,
0:45:05 > 0:45:08like we've seen that we could actually live together and...
0:45:08 > 0:45:10Yeah, I think it's made us stronger already,
0:45:10 > 0:45:15I guess it is true about your experiences make you, innit?
0:45:15 > 0:45:18But Rennick might be about to eat his words.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22He needs some clean clothes. Time to lather up.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25My first investment if I move into a house
0:45:25 > 0:45:28would definitely be a washing machine.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30You ain't done no hand-washing since we've been here.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32- You're taking the mick. Jode. - What?
0:45:32 > 0:45:37- Can you come and hang this please? - Aaahh.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40Jodie's in one of her strops. Babe.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42- What?- Do you want to be kind?- No.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45- Do you want to do these last two things for- me, please? No.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48- Why, cos what? - I don't want to.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51My hands are killing me, look, look how they're shaking, look.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53- It's so fake. - It's not fake, look!
0:45:53 > 0:45:55I just can't be bothered.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Come here, help me.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01- No.- Help me pull it inside out, get that other arm out, are you...?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Please don't start.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07That's, so then you do it again.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Come on, hand wash, get in there.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14As well as doing no laundry, by eating crisps all week
0:46:14 > 0:46:18Jodie's avoided doing any cooking - until now.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22It's the last night of cooking and I'm just letting you cook.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25If it don't come out right it don't come out right, at least you tried.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28Come on then babe, it's not nothing even big and special.
0:46:28 > 0:46:29Need sauce for my salad, so...
0:46:29 > 0:46:33Is it on? I'm not feeling confident.
0:46:33 > 0:46:34It says middle shelf.
0:46:34 > 0:46:38God, that smells all cheesy, I love it.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39No, that stinks.
0:46:39 > 0:46:44Fending for themselves is making them crave some home cooking.
0:46:44 > 0:46:49Dinner-wise I've kind of missed like lasagne and certain meals.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Just know how it feels to be really on a actual budget.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57- Ah, that looked burnt. - That pie, innit?
0:46:57 > 0:47:00Who opens the oven, sees the food's burnt, shuts it?
0:47:00 > 0:47:03"Oh, that's burnt, oh, well, I know, it looked quite burnt, didn't it?"
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Not going to do nothing about it, no?
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- Do you want to turn the heat down? - I did!
0:47:08 > 0:47:12Er, glass houses, Rennick. Does a burnt baguette ring a bell?
0:47:12 > 0:47:16There you go, salad done, beans and pie.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Well, it wasn't exactly cooking,
0:47:18 > 0:47:22but that's another first for this domestically challenged couple.
0:47:22 > 0:47:23Tastes like pie, well done.
0:47:23 > 0:47:27That is an achievement, to get a pie to taste like a pie.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29If I'm honest, I don't like cooking.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34With decision time tomorrow, has a day of un-fun chores
0:47:34 > 0:47:37pushed them back into the arms of Rennick's mum?
0:47:40 > 0:47:45So Rob has survived a week away from his family. He's even iced a cake.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49- Oh, wow.- And Rennick's on his way to paid work...
0:47:49 > 0:47:51and learned to wash his smalls.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54My first investment would definitely be a washing machine.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58It looks like both our mummy's boys are finally growing up,
0:47:58 > 0:48:00but are they ready to move out for good?
0:48:00 > 0:48:03First to make their decision are Jon and Rob.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Before heading out, there's a quick check of their funds.
0:48:06 > 0:48:10So that's £114.50 left over in total, shall we take bills
0:48:10 > 0:48:13and that out again to see what we're actually left with?
0:48:13 > 0:48:14£40 left.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20There you are, I'll have one, you have the other, sorted.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22But is that enough to go it alone?
0:48:22 > 0:48:26Meanwhile, Mum and Dad get a sneaky peek of how their week's gone.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30I know you said you wanted to do enchiladas, but we don't have kits.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33It's lovely to see them so domesticated, isn't it?
0:48:33 > 0:48:37Yeah, domesticated, thinking about money, thinking about
0:48:37 > 0:48:40what they have to buy, it's been like an education for them.
0:48:40 > 0:48:45- What kind of deposit would we have to pay?- £13,000.- OK.
0:48:45 > 0:48:50- For one person it's a lot. - It's got to be done by two.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54So will Mum be getting her boy back, or will he be flying the nest?
0:48:54 > 0:48:56- Hi.- Hiya.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59- How you doing?- Good.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01- Feel like I haven't seen you for ages.- I know.- How's it been?
0:49:01 > 0:49:04- Oh, I missed you.- Ah. - I missed both of you.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06The worst thing is coming through the front door
0:49:06 > 0:49:09and not hearing music and TVs and...
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Mm, it's been very quiet, but it's,
0:49:11 > 0:49:13it had to happen sometime, didn't it?
0:49:13 > 0:49:16But will it be happening now for good?
0:49:17 > 0:49:19Cos we enjoyed living together so much,
0:49:19 > 0:49:22I mean we got on like really, really well and, do you know what I mean?
0:49:22 > 0:49:25It worked, it worked really well, so we're thinking to still live
0:49:25 > 0:49:29together, but somewhere with a cheaper rent so we can save.
0:49:29 > 0:49:30Oh, right.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Our ultimate goal is to get a mortgage,
0:49:32 > 0:49:35so by getting a cheaper rent, just save up each month
0:49:35 > 0:49:38and maximise our savings ready to get to that, that goal.
0:49:38 > 0:49:41- Something to aim for then?- Yeah. - That's what we've decided to do, so.
0:49:41 > 0:49:45Yeah, but we really enjoyed it, like I realised I want to move out.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48- Yeah.- And you can live together and you can get on?
0:49:48 > 0:49:49- Yeah.- So that's good.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52And he's realised that we don't necessarily need to buy
0:49:52 > 0:49:53a mortgage straightaway, which is good.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56But for the short-term we're coming back.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58- If that's OK with you? - Yeah, of course.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02It might only be a brief return, but it comes with conditions.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06Definitely have to be tidier, all right? And I'm serious now.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09You definitely will have to be tidier.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11- Like, I realise now that can be done.- Yeah.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13I do have time in my day to do that.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15And we will go out a bit more often
0:50:15 > 0:50:18- and leave you in the house on your own.- OK.
0:50:18 > 0:50:19It'll be nice for us!
0:50:26 > 0:50:30I think what I've learnt about Rob is that he can be independent
0:50:30 > 0:50:34and he can look after himself, he doesn't need...
0:50:34 > 0:50:36- I'm not four. - Yeah, but that's how you act.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39It's reassuring to know that you can do it
0:50:39 > 0:50:41cos I was worried that it was going to be me doing it all the time.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44- Yeah.- It's nice to know we can do it together rather than me on my own.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47They seem to have grown up over the week.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51Yeah, I think they seem much more together, much more a couple then,
0:50:51 > 0:50:54rather than Rob and Jon, they're a partnership now.
0:50:54 > 0:50:58As a couple as well, it's made, made us stronger as well,
0:50:58 > 0:51:00- like we've been able to bond. - Yeah, on mutual ground.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03- Yeah.- Looking after something that's both of ours.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06- Yeah, and thinking about each other rather than everyone else.- Yeah.
0:51:06 > 0:51:10It's a big thing going, you know, into a, buying a property together
0:51:10 > 0:51:13and it's a commitment as well, which makes me happy.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15They're committed to each other.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17This has encouraged us now to take the next step,
0:51:17 > 0:51:21to find that place, to do what we want to do.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25I think maybe in a month's time we'll be able to, to find somewhere.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29We're getting out there, we're doing it, flying the nest.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32So Jon has got the commitment to a move he wanted
0:51:32 > 0:51:35and Rob has cut those apron strings.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39But will our other mummy's boy be so bold?
0:51:39 > 0:51:42The good points have been, um, definitely the work experience.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44- Yeah. - A thousand percent.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48The experience overall has changed us.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52I just hope it keeps up, like we just need to keep positive-minded.
0:51:52 > 0:51:57We can do stuff that we want to do, it's just ourselves holding us back.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Rennick's due to hear about his apprenticeship today
0:51:59 > 0:52:02and Jodie's already bagged hers.
0:52:02 > 0:52:06This whole experience has made me feel more positive about our future.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09I feel like all the knockbacks I've got from like interviews
0:52:09 > 0:52:12and whatever have sort of happened for a reason cos now I've got
0:52:12 > 0:52:17what I want in some way that I think will actually be good for me.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20Meanwhile, Dana and Latasha get a glimpse
0:52:20 > 0:52:22of what the couple have been up to.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27There is £1.38 left.
0:52:27 > 0:52:32I know I go through it every day, but seeing your kids struggling,
0:52:32 > 0:52:35that's really... But they have to experience it, don't they?
0:52:35 > 0:52:39- Yeah.- Not going to cry, are you? - I feel a bit sad.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43I come here to learn, learn new things, to help others...
0:52:43 > 0:52:45He looked like in his element there,
0:52:45 > 0:52:49he looked really happy cos that's what Rennick enjoys, music.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53So I hope that, that would work out for Rennick, that will be brilliant.
0:52:53 > 0:52:57Time to find out if her boy is coming back home.
0:52:57 > 0:53:02- So how did you find the money side of it all?- Hard.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06- Hard, we went into, we spent all the bills money.- Oh, no.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08It's made us realise though, like how hard it is.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12- You know what I go through now. - Yeah.- Yeah, definitely.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14But crucially, Rennick has finally had the call
0:53:14 > 0:53:16- about his apprenticeship. - Yeah, I need to...
0:53:16 > 0:53:19So what came out of the work experience?
0:53:19 > 0:53:23- I didn't actually get the apprenticeship.- You didn't?
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- No, I'm joking, I did.- You did? - Yeah.- Ah, congratulations.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29- Thank you.- What about you, Jodie? - They want me to do work experience
0:53:29 > 0:53:32- up until January.- And then give you an apprenticeship.
0:53:32 > 0:53:36- Ah, that's brilliant.- Mm.- So proud of you, congratulations.- Thank you.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40So that's one giant leap towards independence.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44But do their promise of wages mean they're going to move out?
0:53:44 > 0:53:48So have you decided, er, what you guys want to do?
0:53:48 > 0:53:53I don't think we're actually ready to move out yet, financial wise.
0:53:53 > 0:53:57- Mm.- A deposit.- Hope you can, you'll be able to save and...- Exactly.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59and then maybe end of next year.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01We want to do it in the future, definitely.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04We know we can do it cos I didn't actually know how it would be,
0:54:04 > 0:54:06- I thought it would be a lot worse. - I thought we'd just argue
0:54:06 > 0:54:08- and not get on. - I done so much cleaning.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11Like there was times when this girl turned into me, I'm telling you,
0:54:11 > 0:54:14she was actually doing nothing and it was just annoying me.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17- Now you understand why I moan sometimes.- Yeah, I know.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19When I come in and everything's all over the place.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22I should have more money to help you as well, so that should be good.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25When I give you some money just take it out for yourself
0:54:25 > 0:54:27and do something.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29Well, you know life for me isn't about my...
0:54:29 > 0:54:32- Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, your life isn't...- Myself.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35It's always been about my kids, so I'm happy.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38We're getting older now, so we want it to be about you more.
0:54:38 > 0:54:39Oh, you're still my babies.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42Yeah, I know. I think this is the start.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45- Start of a new chapter? - Of a, yeah, definitely.
0:54:45 > 0:54:49I need to start becoming that person that I want to become.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52I'm glad we done this experience though.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54I'm happy about moving back in cos I missed my mum,
0:54:54 > 0:54:57but I'm excited for the day we move out cos I know we can do it now.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00Very happy they're coming back home, but I'm glad
0:55:00 > 0:55:04they got to experience what I go through on a daily basis.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07I've seen how I used to be
0:55:07 > 0:55:09and I don't actually like how I used to be,
0:55:09 > 0:55:11so I think it's changed me in a big way
0:55:11 > 0:55:15and I think it's just shown me a different side of Jodie as well.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17It's made me think of our future more
0:55:17 > 0:55:20and it is exciting looking forward to moving out
0:55:20 > 0:55:22when we do get the money together,
0:55:22 > 0:55:24yeah, I look forward to that day.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Welcome home, guys, glad to have you back.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28Nice to be back.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32'It's all been really positive for them, I'm glad they done it.'
0:55:32 > 0:55:34I'm not thinking about the day they move out,
0:55:34 > 0:55:37that's way in the back of my mind.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41But I know when they do eventually move out
0:55:41 > 0:55:44that, er, that they'll cope.
0:55:50 > 0:55:54So across the series we've had some couples heading home.
0:55:54 > 0:55:57- What have you decided to do? - Going to be moving out?
0:55:57 > 0:55:59- Are we welcome back? - We're coming home.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02- Are you staying the flat?- Going to come back for a little while.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04No, we're not going to stay in this particular one.
0:56:04 > 0:56:05With conditions.
0:56:05 > 0:56:09When me and Lara are in my bedroom you're not allowed to burst in.
0:56:09 > 0:56:11I don't think I do burst in.
0:56:11 > 0:56:12Believe me if yous come back
0:56:12 > 0:56:14yous are doing a wee bit more cleaning up.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17- We don't have time for that. - I don't have time for it.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20But we've had plenty of people who, after a week of life together,
0:56:20 > 0:56:23have checked out of the Hotel of Mum and Dad.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26You've had a week apart from us, have you come to a decision?
0:56:26 > 0:56:28- You tell them. - You tell them, you tell them.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30We've thought about it long and hard
0:56:30 > 0:56:32and we've decided we're going to stay in this house.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35- Yeah, we're going to stay in the flat.- It's the start of our future;
0:56:35 > 0:56:37it's the start of our life together really.
