Here the 48-year-old mum-of-one tells us about her own shopping habits.

What kind of shopper are you?

I love to shop but I don't have the time. I enjoy shopping when I am in Spain because at siesta time you get a better chance to have a look round.

How much do you spend a month on clothes?

It is hard to say because I get most of my clothes from my own shops, we also make things so if I want anything in particular we can just make it. Food?

About pounds 150 a week. Going out?

I wouldn't like to say. We go out a lot. I wouldn't even want to guess. What's your most expensive item? (apart from your house) Probably my car, a BMW BMW

Stock for the shop.

What is the last thing you bought for someone else?

I am always buying my husband clothes.

A saver.

What's the best shopping/money advice you've ever been given?

If in doubt don't buy it.

What's your idea of a perfect night in?

A nice meal and good company.

What's your ideal night out?

Just spending time with your friends and going to a nice bar.
