George has not quite got the hang of managing domestic finances. Never having seen a Credit or Debit card before, he goes on a massive spending spree, mightily impressed with a Welfare State that literally gives him money to do so.
Further details
Janet finds out what has been happening when the bills arrive, by which time they are heavily in debt. Selling their belongings and the flat only scratches the surface of this debt, and Janet is forced to take advantage of Ollie's supertalent to correctly predict the Lottery numbers. Such an abuse of Ultronian super-powers, however, draws Thermoman to the attention of the Lord High Arbiter of Abuses of Power - a sadistic, avenging judge, feared throughout the cosmos for putting wayward superheroes to the sword.
