4. Credit Crunch

Simon and Ellen have fallen out over the credit card bill.

Weeks later, the frostiness has still not thawed and Ellen’s reserves of optimism have run out.

Funny, frank and feisty adaptation of Gill Sims’ best-selling novel.

Ellen is a stressed-out working- mum. She’s got high hopes of having a perfect life, but the gulf between her aspiration and her reality is an ever-widening chasm of chaos. But this is the year that everything will change…for sure.

Dramatised by Christine Entwisle.
