Big Family Values: More Kids Than Cash

A single mum of seven works six days a week to make ends meet, a hard-up family of 12 would like a 13th if mum gets the go-ahead from the doctor, and a couple from Northern Ireland explain why they believe it's best to bring up their six children in the countryside.

A family of twelve have moved to Cornwall for the sake of a better life for their children. An Essex couple with eight kids hope that their party shop will bring in some much-needed cash.

This week's households include the family of ten from Essex who are getting by on one income when they receive some bad financial news, the home-schooling single mum of seven who is working two part-time jobs to make ends meet, and the childhood sweethearts uprooting their seven children for pastures new in a bid to save money.

A Derbyshire family of twelve are deciding whether or not to have another baby. After dad was made redundant, a Southampton family with eight kids are struggling financially. And a family of nine from Cumbria hope to profit from staging a music festival.
