A mum's £180,000 scam was uncovered after she went on a £37 shopping trip to B&Q.
Tracy Ellis lived out a "fantasy life" as she lavished family members with gifts, funded by swindling her employer out of huge sums of money over a period of more than five years.
Her actions have been described as a "betrayal" to the small firm for which she worked as a bookkeeper for nearly a decade.
