Washington
(ANI):
Pop
singer
Lily
Allen
credits
her
boyfriend
for
helping
her
save
money
–
as
he
curbed
her
extravagant
spending.
The
Smile
singer
is
dating
building
contractor
Sam
Cooper
and
reveals
her
partner
was
shocked
when
he
found
out
how
much
money
she
spent
on
designer
clothes.
Allen
admits
Cooper
has
been
encouraging
her
to
save
instead
of
splashing
the
cash.
"It''s
f**king
disgusting
some
of
the
things
I
do,
like
not
battering
(sic)
an
eyelid
over
spending
two
grand
(two
thousand
pounds)
on
a
new
pair
of
shoes,
but
it''s
difficult
to
hold
on
to
reality...
Being
with
Sam
has
really
helped
me
with
that
because
he''s
like,
''Stop!
What
are
you
doing?
This
money
is
your
future!''" Contactmusic
quoted
her
as
telling
saying.
Allen
says
she"s
happy
that
her
boyfriend
has
a
well-paid
job
-
because
she
needs
a
partner
who
will
support
her
when
she
eventually
takes
time
off
to
have
children.
"When
I
have
kids,
I
don''t
want
to
be
working
six
days
a
week,
I
want
to
be
taking
them
to
school,
making
them
packed
lunches,
and
reading
them
books
every
night,"
she
said.
“So
it''s
important
to
me
that
whoever
I
have
kids
with
has
a
job
so
he
can
support
us
for
the
number
of
years
I''m
going
to
take
off,
so
I
can
be
a
good
mother,"
she
added.
