Mum-of-22 shares plan to commit to ‘no spend January’

The mum of Britain's biggest family, Sue Radford, has revealed she's doing a 'no spend January' after previously admitting she and husband Noel Radford had spent as much as £7,000 on their kids' at Christmas.

Sue, 47 and Noel, 52, from Morecambe, Lancashire, are parents to 22 children, and buy roughly around 300 presents each year.

Posting on social media, Sue asked to hear her followers' New Year's resolutions before revealing some of her own.

"My New Year's resolutions are to get up at 6:30am to do a swim in this. And to care less about what other people think about us because as long as we are happy nothing else matters.

"And to do no-spend January, which funnily enough, everyone think is hilarious."

Sue explained that she had already spent £30 on fuel to go and visit her mum, asking: "I will share with you that so far I've spent £30 on petrol to my mum's does that count?"

Sue also revealed she wanted to spend less time on her phone, explaining she'd already turned notifications off to help.

Back in 2021, Sue explained how the couple spend up to £7,000 for their huge family each Christmas, aiming to spend between £100 and £200 for each main present, as well as 'bits and bobs' for the kids.

While the children write lists, they don't always get what they ask for. In 2020, the pair spent hours trying to source specific items, including a doll's house and PS5.

"We have had to give up on the PS5 and we got the doll’s house eventually, but the cost was disgusting. It is supposed to be £240 but one site was offering it for over £700," they told the Daily Mail at the time.

Sue also explained they go through around 70 rolls of wrapping paper each year, too.

The couple also have 10 grandchildren.

Sue and Noel first appeared on our screens in 2012 as part of Channel 4's documentary show, 15 Kids and Counting, which followed the family's everyday lives as they navigated their huge brood.

Now, the couple are parents to 22 children and over 10 grandchildren. They have Chris, 32, Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 12, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.
