Psychology of money, Move or improve, Future of grocery delivery

蜜芽传媒 improvement applications and DIY sales are up, the number of houses for sale are down - are we turning into improvers rather than movers? Plus our relationship with money.

蜜芽传媒 improvement applications are up all over the UK, with the exception of Scotland and DIY sales are at a level not seen since the downturn began. At the same time there are fewer houses for sale and fewer buyers around according to RICS. Does this mean we are becoming improvers rather than movers? What are the pitfalls to doing up your house. Should you go it alone or call in the professionals? TV Property expert Kirstie Allsopp has the answers.

The shift to internet shopping seems irreversible now, with more of us buying online all the time. But new technology will influence how and where we do that shopping. Our reporter Samantha Fenwick got exclusive access to online grocery retailer Ocado's new distribution centre. She'll be reporting on how your tea-bags and breakfast cereal will be chosen and delivered in the future.

And All in the Mind presenter and lecturer Claudia Hammond will discuss her new book Mind Over Money. She's looked at more than 250 pieces of research about the psychology of money to come up with tips on how to get control of your finances.

Presenter: Winifred Robinson
Producer: Olive Clancy.
