In the midst of the cost of living crisis, few people are exempt from worry around rising bills.

Plus Lesley Fyfe shares her experience of impulse spending as a result of bipolar disorder alongside Alison Cairns, Bipolar Scotland’s chief executive. If you need support with mental health, help is available through the BBC Action Line.
