Rhian Warlow, 31, and her partner Daniel Davies, 35, enjoyed showing off their bling lifestyle with cash made from dealing cocaine and cannabis. A court heard Davies made profits of more than £158,030 while Warlow had gained £87,824 through their drugs business.
But investigators were only able to recover a small fraction of their drug money - with Davies having just £4,883 in assets and his partner £2,375. A previous hearing was told they were arrested when police pulled over their car on a busy road - and found £61,000 of cannabis hidden under a panel in the boot.

Miss Cutter said Warlow had bought a number of luxury items with the money made from dealing - including Rolex and Royal Oak watches, a diamond-encrusted BMW key ring and diamond jewellery.
Davies claimed that he was the dealer and Warlow was his driver, but texts on her phone showed she had also arranged deals herself. The pair both pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine and cannabis and being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis at Swansea Crown Court. Harry Dickens, defending Warlow, said: 'Miss Warlow is extremely remorseful, not only for the impact it will have on her, but also the impact it will have on her relationship with her children - particularly at this formative stage of their lives.
'She maintains she didn't understand the full scope but she did understand it was drug-related. 'There's a degree of naivety. This is her first experience of custody and she intends for it to be her only one.

'He quickly realised he could turn a profit. 'His overwhelming regret is in the process he involved Miss Warlow.
'He feels entirely responsible for her involvement in this case and the impact this will have on her relationship with her children. For that, Mr Davies is truly sorry.' Davies of Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, was jailed for three years while Warlow, of nearby Hakin, was given a two-year suspended sentence.
She was also told she must complete 200 hours of unpaid work and 30 rehabilitation activity requirement days.
