00:00I just can't believe you've phoned.
00:01400?
00:02Tampons in a gay man's house.
00:04Well, this will be an awkward conversation.
00:06We all hold on to stuff that we just don't need.
00:10It's one of our kids' belly button clams.
00:12Stop it.
00:13So me and the gang are coming for your clutter.
00:17It's a room of doom.
00:19Oh, my word.
00:21We're emptying chock-a-block homes
00:24and laying out every single item.
00:27Oh, my God!
00:29Wow.
00:30I can't speak.
00:32Could you part with half...
00:34That doesn't seem fair.
00:35That's non-negotiable.
00:36This is such a great start.
00:38...to transform your home...
00:40Goodbye, wall!
00:42...and let the joy back in.
00:45I'm speechless.
00:46Wow!
00:48Oh, my!
00:49That is going to change our lives.
00:51It's the best feeling in the world.
00:53Mission accomplished.
01:02How long is it saying today?
01:03It's just up.
01:04Right.
01:05Is it just up and right?
01:06Yes, it's well in the corner.
01:07Are you going to moan the whole way?
01:08Yes.
01:09We've come to Tuckinham.
01:11Oh, hold on.
01:11Joe's calling.
01:13I'm just at work.
01:14All right, Joe.
01:15All right.
01:16All right.
01:17Thank you, my boy.
01:18Home to English rugby and a family in need of help.
01:21There's a pub down there.
01:23Yep, that's not where we're going, I'm afraid.
01:25This is it.
01:26Oh, all right.
01:28This is the Alan's house.
01:30Brian and Sharon live here with their two daughters.
01:33Their eldest is at uni.
01:34The youngest is about to go.
01:36They are about to be empty nesters,
01:38which is literally my worst nightmare.
01:41So, now's the time for us to get in there
01:44and see if we can help them have a whole fresh start.
01:46Okay.
01:47All right.
01:47You ready?
01:48Yeah.
01:48Good to go.
01:49Good to go.
01:51Ooh.
01:53The Alan's home has three upstairs bedrooms,
01:56while downstairs it has a kitchen
01:58with adjoining utility area,
02:01a spare box room,
02:03and a living room.
02:06Okay.
02:07Okay.
02:08Wowie.
02:08Okay.
02:10Look at all these areas for their cat.
02:12Oh, my God, it's an assault cause.
02:14Although I don't think the cats are really enjoying this cat tower,
02:16the amount of stuff that's on it.
02:17What is this blanket?
02:18It's a cupboard.
02:20Oh, it goes all the way around.
02:22Listen, they've got so many games underneath here,
02:25I'd like,
02:25but wait,
02:26there's stuff that's still in the packaging.
02:28They like buying it,
02:29but evidently not opening it.
02:31What is that?
02:32A fan.
02:33Yeah, a fan.
02:33Joe got some of these for our summer holiday, look.
02:35That looks quite handy, to be fair.
02:37Yeah.
02:37Why have they got walkie-talkies on the dining table?
02:39That's not a walkie-talkie.
02:40What is it?
02:41Phones.
02:42Oh, it's salt and peppers.
02:46They're electronic.
02:47Happy birthday from the cat.
02:48From the cat.
02:49Multiple cat cards.
02:50Actually, I do like a card from the dog.
02:52Wow, I'm learning so much about you today.
02:55Oh!
02:56I was just checking if it was empty or...
02:58What does that say?
02:58Empty.
02:59Dad, my hero.
03:00Ah.
03:01Look, I found the albums.
03:03A calendar.
03:04See, these are things that should be up.
03:06These are nice.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Yeah, but it's 2011.
03:09Yeah, true.
03:10This room is absolutely full to the brim...
03:13Yeah.
03:14..of random stuff.
03:18Right, Rob, me and you go upstairs.
03:21Yeah, cool.
03:21You two carry on downstairs.
03:23Come on, Rob.
03:24While Rob and I head through the hallway...
03:26What is this?
03:29It's a curtain.
03:30It's another curtain, you mean?
03:33Dilly and Ewan are exploring a space next to the kitchen.
03:37What is this room?
03:38It's like a...
03:39I don't know, what do we call it?
03:41I guess this would have been like a dining area, traditionally.
03:44Look at this wall calendar.
03:45It's like they've had the thought of being organised with the calendar,
03:48but just not written anything on it.
03:49Let's add something.
03:50Dilly, blow dry.
03:52They've got all these family photos.
03:54Yeah.
03:55But you'd think the court board would be up here.
03:58Oh, you and Ewan.
03:59What is that?
04:00It's a punching thing.
04:02Whoa.
04:03That would do my nutting, I'm telling you now.
04:05Huh?
04:06What's it say?
04:06Oh, too slow.
04:07Too slow?
04:14Rooms like this are tricky, because it is just a thoroughfare, but this is chaos.
04:18Up in the master bedroom.
04:20Oh.
04:22More curtains.
04:23Oh, yeah.
04:24The moment you've got the curtains, you've now completely shrunk the room.
04:28But it is a good solution sometimes.
04:30If you've got an open wardrobe and you want it to be closed, you can put a curtain up.
04:34I get it.
04:34But this is just one curtain too far.
04:37Look, there's a desk over here.
04:39That's not a desk, is it?
04:40Absolutely nobody is using that as a desk.
04:44I don't know how they move in here.
04:46So, we're inside a closet, wardrobe.
04:51Library.
04:52A library.
04:54In the kitchen, there's more overspill.
04:57What's this?
04:58Oh, my gosh.
04:59One of those egg things.
05:00Do they roll through?
05:01Yeah.
05:02Oh, Dilly!
05:05I'm going to have to clean that up now.
05:06Oh, no.
05:08All right.
05:09A lot of cleaning products.
05:12Standard.
05:13I wonder how much of this is getting used.
05:14That's empty.
05:15Here we go.
05:15Here's the kitchen roll.
05:16But that's actually quite handy.
05:18Oh, you and your dripping egg on me.
05:21Look how many pots and pans they've got.
05:23Wow.
05:23Look, they're all over there.
05:25They're all over here.
05:26Oh.
05:27That's a slow cooker.
05:28Poor touch.
05:29Oh, this is a coffee machine.
05:31Coffee machine that's not being used.
05:32And another slow cooker.
05:33It feels like there's things that are catering to the masses.
05:36Yeah.
05:37Not a family of four.
05:38Exactly.
05:39On our way out of the bedroom, Rob's spotted a hatch.
05:42All right.
05:44Good luck.
05:45All right.
05:48Mate, there's bags, baskets.
05:51Just come down and shut the hatch.
05:54We won't tell anyone about this.
05:56No, but we've seen it now.
05:59You've seen it.
06:01Also upstairs are the daughter's bedrooms.
06:04Where one's preparing to move out.
06:06I cannot believe she's bought new pots and pans.
06:09Surely she could have had some of mum and dad's.
06:11And the others using the cover-up technique.
06:14Oh, what?
06:16But downstairs, a box room beside the kitchen is hiding even more.
06:21Oh, I should have left it shut.
06:26It's a room of doom.
06:28This is a proper room of doom.
06:31Oh, my days.
06:35I'm nervous for the warehouse.
06:36You can clearly see they do not let go of anything.
06:40And that worries me.
06:43Oh, wow.
06:44Oh, God.
06:46I thought we were going to come outside for some space.
06:50There's a curtain above us.
06:51The curtain is like putting a plaster on a severed leg.
06:56Yeah.
06:56Cats, clothes and curtains.
06:58Yeah.
06:58That's what we're dealing with here.
06:59Yeah.
07:01Hello.
07:02Hiya.
07:03Hi.
07:04How you doing?
07:05Hiya.
07:05How are you?
07:06I'm good.
07:07How are you?
07:07How you doing?
07:08How you doing?
07:11We can see that you do like to hold on.
07:14Yeah.
07:14The house is full of personality.
07:17But it's also full of stuff.
07:19Yeah.
07:20And a lot of curtains.
07:21Who's the serial buyer?
07:24Because there is...
07:25Oh, OK.
07:27Traits of Ryan.
07:28We call him Inspector Gadget.
07:30OK.
07:32How often do we use the pineapple cutter?
07:35When we get pineapple.
07:36How often is that?
07:37Not very often.
07:39Brian and Sharon met in their 20s serving in the Territorial Army.
07:44You asked me out.
07:45I did.
07:46It's got a good heart.
07:47A good egg.
07:48She was funny with a caring nature.
07:51And very good.
07:53I didn't look bad either.
07:54Oh, she didn't look bad either.
07:56Yeah.
07:57Over 30 years later, they're married with two daughters.
08:01I think you're the messiest.
08:03You think I'm the messiest?
08:04Yeah.
08:04OK, I'll take that.
08:06Like, I would describe my mum and dad sometimes as, like, two big kids.
08:10Yeah, they're very excitable people.
08:12I got it.
08:15This does feel like a very busy household.
08:17I'm up and out just before seven in the morning.
08:20I'm off to work at about half five.
08:22And I'm studying as well as working full-time.
08:26I'm going to read my essay.
08:28As well as hectic family life, there's a habit adding to the clutter.
08:33I think dad orders a lot.
08:36Mum as well, though.
08:37Yeah.
08:37I think they're quite similar.
08:38I just browse.
08:39I'll see a picture of it.
08:41Oh, yeah.
08:42And the little light bulb goes off and it says, I could do with that.
08:47That's a delivery.
08:49I think you should go and get it.
08:50Oh, OK.
08:53It's Holly's air fryer.
08:55With so much coming into the house, Sharon's got creative.
08:59So I have found the perfect solution for clutter, curtains.
09:05You pull the curtain across, it's clear.
09:08Every year I try and go through the loft, go through things, but there's more coming in
09:12the door than is going out the door.
09:15We have tried, but we stopped seeing the mess.
09:19The couple moved into the house 21 years ago, following the loss of Brian's sister.
09:24Julie was just amazing, wasn't she?
09:26Yeah.
09:27She had a big social circle.
09:30And a big heart.
09:31And then the cancer come along.
09:33It was just heartbreaking, really.
09:37She said, if anything happens to me, will you and Brian take the children?
09:43Julie was a single mum with three children, aged between 12 and 17 when she passed away.
09:50Stepping in, looking after the kids, it just seemed the right thing to do.
09:55The right thing to do at the time.
09:56We had to move in really quickly, so we never got the opportunity to go through our stuff.
10:01You don't have time to grieve because you just had to carry on.
10:07So when we first moved in, we didn't want to change anything for Julie's children, and
10:13we haven't really sorted it out since then.
10:15And we added two children.
10:17And we added two children.
10:19Mum and Dad are such loving people.
10:23They've been through a lot, but they've always been there for us.
10:25And I think it's time that they're able to reclaim the house as theirs.
10:30Now, after decades spent prioritising family, their youngest is the last one leaving the nest.
10:37After everything happened, we've just kept going and going.
10:40And actually, now's the time to just stop and breathe.
10:43And then we can kind of figure out the next chapter together.
10:47Yeah.
10:49Do you think you are ready?
10:51Definitely.
10:52I can't put any more curtains up.
10:55I don't think you can either.
10:58So usually, when we meet with families, we'd say that you have to let go of 50% of what
11:04is in the house.
11:05I think that's what we need, isn't it?
11:06Right, shall we get packing?
11:08Because there is a lot to get out of this house.
11:11Are you ready?
11:12Yeah, we're ready.
11:13Let's do it.
11:13We're ready to go.
11:14All right.
11:17Chuck me anything out of that cupboard.
11:19Let's go.
11:20We've got just 12 hours to get the Allens' crowded house completely cleared.
11:25What is that?
11:26Garlic sauce.
11:28And that means diving into the Room of Doom.
11:31All right, I'm going to get in.
11:32If you chuck me a box...
11:33Okay.
11:34...then we'll do the best we can.
11:35Okay.
11:36I mean, this, this was Holly's when she was little.
11:39Did she love it?
11:40She did.
11:41Oh.
11:42Do you reckon she still loves it?
11:43No, probably not.
11:45What is this room?
11:46Um, that's a good question.
11:49At one point, we turned this into like an office space for me, because I started studying when
11:55Holly was nine months old and Eloise was two.
11:58I went to do a degree and I got a scholarship to do a PhD.
12:03Sharon, what kind of superwoman are you?
12:06Well, I'm not a superwoman.
12:07You're so bright.
12:08No, I wasn't.
12:09Not at school, because now I know I had ADHD.
12:11But at school, they, they told me I was lazy.
12:15Oh, my gosh, Sharon, how?
12:18Yeah, but now I think my superpower is ADHD.
12:22So, because I have that, I can actually watch telly and study at the same time.
12:27That's quite incredible.
12:28I mean, I'm surprised you can study at all.
12:32This is unbelievable.
12:34I got a late diagnosis of ADHD.
12:38People say, oh, nowadays everyone has ADHD.
12:41What does that mean?
12:42And I explain it, it's like having an animal band in your head.
12:47Loads of different animals, all playing different instruments at the same time.
12:51And none of it makes any music.
12:55Whatever I'm doing reminds me of something else.
12:57So then I'll go and do that.
12:58And then I'll get there and then my brain will think about something else.
13:01And then I'll go and do that.
13:02So I end up doing lots of things, but not completing them.
13:06So the clutter is quite draining mentally for me.
13:10When we first moved in, this was Julie's room.
13:15Julie is Brian's sister.
13:16Yes.
13:16And so after Brian's sister died, we were in here on a single mattress for a while.
13:25I think she would have done the same for us.
13:28That does not take away from the fact that that is a huge thing to do.
13:33What is this?
13:35Oh, don't.
13:35It's a curtain, isn't it?
13:36It is a curtain.
13:37Sharon!
13:40Anything you can find that's cat-related, maybe you can put it in one box.
13:44When do you think the last time was this front room was cleared?
13:47Never.
13:48Mum will be like, let's clear the house.
13:50But they don't really get rid of anything.
13:52So it just goes from one place to another.
13:54And I think they're just such busy people.
13:56Like, my mum's still studying.
13:58That's amazing.
13:58And she's working.
13:59So what would be your dream, you know, for this house?
14:03Just, like, it be actually, like, organised.
14:06Yeah.
14:07My mum was diagnosed with ADHD.
14:10I've been diagnosed.
14:11Holly has autism.
14:12So I think if everything was calmer, it would just help all of us function a lot better.
14:18Because I think I get, like, overwhelmed easier, you know, than, like, the average person.
14:23When there's a lot of stuff around you, it affects you a lot more.
14:26Yeah.
14:26OK.
14:27So how are you feeling about the workhouse?
14:30Oh, a bit, a bit worried.
14:33OK.
14:33Why are you worried?
14:34Just everyone, you know, touching my stuff and it getting mixed up, you know, with everything else.
14:41So would it be easier, then, if we make sure that all your stuff is in its own section?
14:45Yeah.
14:46So that's the Holly's own, yeah?
14:48Yes.
14:51Holly has got a quiet space upstairs that she's been taking herself off to to just sort of get away
14:55from the noise.
14:56But then she comes back and she's like, right, I want to get involved.
15:01And Sharon's also said that with her ADHD, things can feel overwhelming.
15:05So we've taken advice and we'll make sure we go at a pace that's right for the whole family.
15:11I found some floor.
15:13Oh, I can finally get on the floor.
15:16Yay!
15:16Wow!
15:18So I think the warehouse will be interesting.
15:21I really do feel that this is a prime opportunity for them all to reset and start again.
15:30You won't be thanking me soon in the warehouse.
15:34Halfway through, and upstairs, Rob's helping Brian pack up the master bedroom.
15:40My two lovelies have finished uni.
15:42Now that they're all growing and needing you less and less, what's that feeling like?
15:47It's weird.
15:48It's a mixed feeling.
15:49But I'll always be there for them and they know that.
15:51Are they going to gain more of their own independence?
15:54They need you a whole lot more when they're younger.
15:57Oh.
15:58And now, you're slowly drifting apart because you're not being involved so much.
16:02Mm.
16:03So as a dad, I wanted to make sure that my children, Judy's children, always had what they needed.
16:10Just try and do the best you can to spoil them if you can, you know.
16:14I'm going to miss them.
16:15I want them to be here all the time, just hugging them and keeping them here all the time.
16:19But you've got to let them go.
16:22So tell me, which one of the fingers have they got you wrapped round in?
16:26All of them.
16:26Or every last one of them?
16:28Well, there's three females in there.
16:29How am I going to win?
16:30I feel your pain in that regard.
16:33I do as well.
16:33Yeah, no.
16:39Oops.
16:41Three rooms down, just the rest of the house in the attic to go.
16:45Oh, my word.
16:49While the removal vans keep coming.
16:52Oh, Ewan.
16:53It's just never easy.
16:54We need to hurry up or we're not going to finish.
16:55Yeah, OK.
16:56Go on, Brian.
16:57You've got the muscles.
16:58I wouldn't go that far.
17:00Don't know where they've come from.
17:03This is Sharon and Brian's time to be Sharon and Brian.
17:09The more we can let go of, the better life they're going to come back to.
17:14Goodbye.
17:15Bye.
17:16Bye.
17:18I love you guys.
17:22I felt guilty for wanting to change it all.
17:25I don't think Julie and Marnie were there.
17:27No, not now.
17:28She'd be pleased.
17:29She'd be pleased.
17:30She would be.
17:31I don't know.
17:32Where's my blue roll?
17:33I don't want, no, I don't want one of you for my life.
17:40That feels like it looks like that came well.
17:44We're going to go home to that house and it's going to be nice and clear.
17:46OK?
17:47OK.
17:48All right, boss.
17:49Yay!
17:51Where's Eloise?
17:53Oh, she's got a migraine.
17:55We're a man down.
17:56Oh, no.
17:57Hi, Holly.
17:58Hi, Stacey.
17:59How are you doing?
17:59I'm good.
18:00How are you?
18:01How are you all feeling?
18:02A little bit nervous.
18:04I can't wait to get going.
18:05We're going to do this together.
18:07Should we get in there and see what we're dealing with?
18:09I think so, yeah.
18:09Oh, yeah.
18:10Let's do it.
18:10I'm nervous for you.
18:12It's the anticipation.
18:15Ready for this?
18:16Yes.
18:16Here we go.
18:17Are you ready?
18:20Oh.
18:21No way.
18:22Oh, my gosh.
18:29And then it goes right back.
18:31And then it goes all the way over there.
18:32Look at it.
18:33Oh, oh.
18:36After unloading the whopping contents of the Allens' House,
18:40we counted 274 bags, 57 cat toys and 104 screwdrivers.
18:51I'm just looking at all your gadgets.
18:53Because the gadgets came from everywhere in the house,
18:56we couldn't even put them all together.
18:58Brilliant.
18:58Brilliant.
18:59If you can't keep track on it, how am I supposed to?
19:02I honestly don't know.
19:04I will say, though, you are sort-your-life-out record-breakers.
19:09For what?
19:09You filled up seven vans with the contents of your home to get to this warehouse, yeah?
19:16Right.
19:16Are we ready?
19:17We're ready.
19:18Yes, let's do it.
19:18Yes.
19:20We're starting with an area which had more appliances than they could even get to.
19:25Welcome to your kitchen.
19:27Wow.
19:28There are a lot of duplicates and multiples.
19:33Yeah.
19:34How many slow cookers does one family need?
19:37We were cooking for about eight or nine sometimes, weren't we?
19:40They were ideal.
19:41And I do get it when you've got a big family and you're working,
19:44but soon it'll be just the two of you.
19:46So we just need one.
19:48If that.
19:49With so many doubles, this should be an easy section to reduce.
19:53I think we should spend 20 minutes and just go, go, go.
19:57But Inspector Gadget has other ideas.
20:00We've got the slush maker.
20:03The...
20:03What is that pin thing?
20:05I don't know.
20:05Popcorn maker.
20:06The popcorn maker.
20:07This ice cream machine still has the...
20:09We're using that.
20:10We're keeping that.
20:11No, we have used it.
20:13It's got dust on it.
20:14Dad, that looks...
20:15That looks disgusting.
20:17No.
20:18We're keeping that.
20:19Sorry.
20:21So we're off to a bit of a rocky start.
20:24We don't need these.
20:25Keeping them?
20:26No, we don't need them.
20:27No, you just got these.
20:29Yeah, but we don't need them.
20:30We haven't got lids for them all.
20:32Do you know what?
20:32Wait, what is happening right now?
20:34I'm going to agree to disagree.
20:35He wants to keep these, Dad.
20:37I've kept the big ones.
20:40OK, well...
20:42Are you grumpy now?
20:44Are you having a moment, Brian?
20:46Yes.
20:46I'm having a moment.
20:47Got the arm.
20:48Holly is on my side.
20:50Look, I'm going to struggle with the gadgets for Brian.
20:53Why do you have so many of these rack things?
20:55Keep one.
20:56This was Mum's.
20:58I can see you, Brian.
21:00Brian?
21:05It has taken half an hour to warm up in the kitchen.
21:11Tupperware avalanche.
21:12And while Brian loves his modern contraptions...
21:15This was nanny's.
21:17Sharon's stalling over the older items.
21:19Are you OK, Sharon?
21:20Yeah.
21:21I think that this is a manageable amount of glassware.
21:25I think it...
21:26Oh, there was just one that I want, this one,
21:28because this was a set that I got for my wedding
21:31from my best friend.
21:33It's sentimental.
21:35At least we can see the table now.
21:37Yeah.
21:44Wow.
21:45This is how much space you'll be getting back to the house.
21:48It's good, but I feel a bit worried
21:51that I've got rid of something that we might need.
21:53You OK?
21:54Yeah, I don't think there's anything...
21:56I just keep thinking there's nothing in Mum's...
21:57No, there's nothing in Mum's there.
21:59OK.
22:00OK, in there.
22:01Yeah.
22:02Oh, Sharon.
22:03Yeah, I didn't think I would find it that different.
22:06Not with kitchen stuff.
22:08No, it's all right.
22:09It's all right.
22:09It's good.
22:09It's good.
22:10We need this.
22:11We need to do it.
22:12It's good.
22:13I think he's really sinking into her now.
22:15It's real.
22:16It's like, get rid of it.
22:16It's gone.
22:17Oh!
22:18She wants to do it.
22:19We know what it's going to lead to,
22:21the bigger picture at the end.
22:22Do you need five minutes?
22:24I didn't think I'd get like this.
22:25Now I want it.
22:26I really want it.
22:27It's just a lot flooding.
22:30There's a lot flooding in my head.
22:33Do you want to go out for a five-minute break,
22:35cup of tea or something?
22:37Yeah.
22:38Come on.
22:39I'm glad this is what I wanted, but it's just...
22:41It doesn't mean it's not going to be difficult.
22:43I didn't think I would get like this.
22:45Oh, Sharon.
22:47She'll be OK.
22:48She's strong.
22:49She's strong.
22:50Yeah.
22:52Back at the Allens' home,
22:54the team are focused on what Sharon and Brian will gain
22:56by letting go of some of their belongings.
22:59This was the room of Doom.
23:01Maybe we need to make this an office.
23:03I think a dedicated office space for Sharon
23:05is going to be a game changer.
23:06Yeah.
23:06And it'd be lovely if we have a room that does have a bed in.
23:10So if somebody does come and stay over,
23:12they can actually come in here.
23:14Nice.
23:14For a room that is this small,
23:17the best type of bed would be a Murphy bed.
23:20OK.
23:20So from the front,
23:21it would look like a really nice sideboard.
23:24Nice.
23:24But it then folds out.
23:26Oh, nice.
23:27So it's just like a little bed in a box.
23:29Yeah, bed in a box.
23:30And an office space as well.
23:32Amazing.
23:33I'm excited for this room.
23:36There's also plans to give purpose
23:38to the confused room next to the kitchen.
23:41It would be lovely
23:42if we could make this more of a dining space.
23:45I mean, kitchen, dining,
23:46who would have thought it?
23:47Who would have thought it?
23:50While up in Brian and Sharon's bedroom,
23:52Robbie's switching those curtains
23:54for a secret wall of wardrobes.
23:57This here is called acoustic panelling.
24:00And the doors will be hidden behind this,
24:03creating secret storage for all of the clothes.
24:06Brian, aka Inspector Gadget,
24:09I think is going to like this one.
24:11Mwah!
24:14Anything I pick up in the net is fair game.
24:16OK.
24:19Yes!
24:19Look at you!
24:20Fishing for clutter is actually so much fun.
24:24In the warehouse,
24:25Sharon is keen to continue.
24:27Ah, these can go.
24:30No, they don't smell too bad.
24:33They can go.
24:35But I have got to convince Brian
24:37to part with his abundance of gadgets.
24:39Two can crushers.
24:41We only need one.
24:43I don't know what this is.
24:44Some sort of...
24:45It's an eye massager.
24:49I think I got this for Sharon's for Christmas.
24:52Sharon, do you like your eye massager?
24:54I haven't really had the chance to use it.
24:57Are we ever going to use it?
24:59Brian uses it.
25:01Go on, bus, under.
25:05Goodbye.
25:06Goodbye.
25:08Right, can we please talk about the unopened parcels?
25:10I haven't got a clue what's in them.
25:12Well, that's bad, Brian.
25:16It's from one of those cheap online marketplaces.
25:19Oh, yeah.
25:20Oh.
25:20Do you know what's in there?
25:21No.
25:23No, I know what this is.
25:25Go on.
25:26It's a sun shade.
25:27This is telling me you enjoy buying something,
25:30but when the item doesn't actually mean anything to you.
25:34It's the thought of doing something.
25:35It's the prospect of it.
25:36Yeah.
25:37It's a process.
25:37Do you have an account?
25:38I do have an account.
25:40Let me have a look.
25:42Oh, my God, Brian, you've got 42 things in your basket.
25:45No, I need to see what you've got in your basket.
25:48Four-inch mini cat vomit warning signs.
25:53What, you don't think people can see that the cat's been tipped?
25:56They need a warning sign saying the cat's been tipped.
26:08That's it.
26:09You think what?
26:10I didn't really think it was that much, to tell the truth.
26:11Because it's so small and often.
26:13Mm.
26:14You feel like you're spending nothing, don't you?
26:16Obviously, when I was growing up, I didn't have a lot of stuff.
26:19You know, it was like a struggle.
26:21But, yeah, now it's all laid out.
26:23You get to see.
26:25I mean, look at it, you know.
26:26Yeah.
26:27It's just a bit crazy.
26:29I need to knock that on the head, I think.
26:32So, growing up for you...
26:34It was hard.
26:35Yeah, it was hard.
26:36Yeah, it was hard.
26:37It wasn't great.
26:40My dad left when I was about four or five.
26:43So, then, when...
26:44Oh, gosh.
26:46So, my mum passed, and then I was 13 at the time.
26:50Oh, God, I'm sorry.
26:52My brother brought us up.
26:53I had my sisters as well, Julie and Jean.
26:56I went into care, but I was left to my own devices,
26:59to put it that way.
27:00My mum was caring, loving, like everybody's mum.
27:04You know, you miss her.
27:05It was hard when she went.
27:07Yeah, definite.
27:09All right, you know, it's been a long time.
27:12But you still...
27:13Sometimes you sit there and you think,
27:15well, you know, if you could see me now, mum,
27:18well, I've done.
27:19You'd be proud, you know?
27:23Mm-hm.
27:24She wrote me a letter.
27:27And I've still got it somewhere.
27:30I don't know exactly where it is,
27:31but it's the only sort of thing I've got from my mum to me.
27:36It was hard for everybody.
27:38When Julie was ill,
27:41she asked us to make sure the kids are OK,
27:43they don't go into care.
27:45Because I think she's had that experience when she was growing.
27:47And she didn't want her children to have that.
27:50Do you feel a responsibility of...
27:52We promised, you know, together, we promised to do what we can.
27:57And so that promise is done now.
27:59We've done it.
28:00You must feel so proud of yourself,
28:02knowing that when your own mum passed away,
28:05you've made sure that never happened to your nieces and nephew.
28:10that must give you such a sense of achievement.
28:12You have done for them what nobody could do for you.
28:17You're starting me off.
28:18No, it's amazing, really.
28:20Yeah.
28:20You are such a great dad.
28:21It's hard to try and get it all out, you know, it...
28:24Yeah, because it's...
28:25Try and just put it all in.
28:28You're so amazing, Brian.
28:29I'll just...
28:30OK, let's get on and do it.
28:33Can I just say,
28:35this should be a big wake-up call
28:37that we do not need to keep by him.
28:41Why not?
28:41Yeah?
28:42Yeah.
28:43You know, we've just got to cut it right down.
28:46Ah, my pineapple cutter.
28:48You can cut it with a knife!
28:50Come on, Brian!
28:53At the Allens' house...
28:55Trying to build this standing up.
28:58Rob's creating slot-in shelving
29:00for the room formerly known as Doom.
29:02I'm going to add a fold-down desk here,
29:04and to complete the room,
29:06I've got a Murphy bed to build on the other side.
29:09Next door, Ewan's making sure the kitchen's ready
29:12for Brian and Sharon's fresh start.
29:14The extractor hood is one of those areas in the kitchen
29:17that gets a little bit neglected sometimes,
29:19and it collects a lot of grease.
29:24The easiest way to clean it is to lift it out
29:28and do it at the sink.
29:32And I'm going to pop in a couple of these denture tablets.
29:36These will do all the hard work for me,
29:38which is really great for busy households like this one.
29:42So this has had a good 20 minutes now,
29:45and as you can see, where it's been submerged,
29:47all of that grease and grime has started to melt away.
29:51So if I just wipe it with a sponge,
29:53you'll see how easy this is coming off now.
29:57Love that. Look!
29:58So much better.
30:01So we punch him in the face.
30:03Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
30:04This one. Elbow.
30:05And then the knee.
30:06Yeah.
30:07Bob is a member of the family now.
30:09And that's how you treat members of your family.
30:12For our last few hours,
30:13we're tackling an area that's taking up
30:16a quarter of this 20,000-square-foot warehouse.
30:19Why do you have the old TV remotes?
30:22I don't know.
30:23This is mad.
30:24The loft that time forgot.
30:28This is what I've been looking for.
30:29What is it?
30:30This was the letter from my mum.
30:32So when I was in fourth year of junior school,
30:34you know you go on the last holiday.
30:36Yeah, yeah.
30:37So the post, this was May...
30:40Oh, what your mum sent you a letter?
30:41Yeah, May 1977.
30:49Do you want to read it out for me?
30:52Dear Brian,
30:53this is to hope you arrive at your hotel safe and sound,
30:57look after your things,
30:58and make sure you have a good time on holiday.
31:01I'll miss you about the house.
31:03I'll be thinking of you,
31:04and I wish I were with you.
31:05So anyway, Brian, love,
31:07have a nice time, OK?
31:09Enjoy yourself, love for mum.
31:11Aw.
31:16I mean, that was the only thing I was really...
31:20I've got from her, you know?
31:22I'm sorry, Brian.
31:24No, there's no need to be sorry.
31:24It's just something I was looking for.
31:28I found it, so I'm happy.
31:30Good.
31:31Yeah.
31:32We're dealing with a lot of things
31:33that the family haven't seen in a long time
31:36that are attached to really, you know,
31:39important memories for them.
31:41I can't beat the cuddle.
31:43Imagine how proud your mum for you.
31:46I feel like it's a slow warehouse day.
31:48I am a bit worried.
31:51I feel like maybe we just need extra manpower
31:53in this warehouse with Dilly tomorrow
31:55because I don't feel I've got to where I wanted to be.
31:58We have got literally five minutes left
32:00and we need to clear as much of this warehouse as possible
32:03ahead of tomorrow.
32:04OK.
32:04Let's go, let's go, go, go, go, go.
32:06Slide this straight to the pile.
32:08Donate?
32:09Yeah.
32:10Places like care homes, hospitals,
32:12they'll love these.
32:12Yeah, perfect.
32:13Do you even have a DVD player?
32:15Er, no.
32:17Get it in.
32:21Yes!
32:22Yes!
32:22Come on, Sharon!
32:24All these toys, can they go?
32:26Yes.
32:27Woo!
32:30We're clearing loads of space.
32:31We are.
32:38Oh.
32:39Go, go, go.
32:41Time is up.
32:43Time is up.
32:44Ryan, come on.
32:45Yeah, we did it.
32:46We got through day one.
32:47Yes!
32:48Come on!
32:49Oh, thank you.
32:50Well done.
32:51Well done, everyone.
32:52I feel exhausted.
32:54I just feel like that was a really long, intense day.
32:56I can't imagine how the family are feeling.
33:00Good.
33:00All them pens.
33:01Oh, my days.
33:01Yeah, but we don't need all them pens, dear.
33:03I know that they're going into day two
33:05and there is still so much left to do.
33:07I'm nervous for Dilly,
33:09but I think they've seen the potential
33:11of what they can do
33:13and they're ready for it.
33:15Should we get a good night's sleep?
33:17Yeah, because I'm looking at stuff to take back,
33:19so we'll go.
33:19Yeah, let's get away from the pile.
33:21Let's go.
33:22Walk away from the pile.
33:23I'm walking away.
33:32Oh, my goodness.
33:35I feel like we've literally gone
33:37from the room of doom
33:39to the warehouse of doom.
33:41Oh, my God.
33:43Eloise is back
33:44and Dilly needs to make up for my slow start,
33:46so she's getting the whole family's eyes on the prize.
33:50What I want you to do today
33:52is really visualise
33:54that moment that you're going to walk through those doors
33:56and it being calm.
33:58Imagine, you know,
33:59the girls coming back from uni,
34:01coming and sitting in the front room together,
34:03being able to bake,
34:04all the things that you are going to be able to do,
34:06but only if you are ruthless today.
34:08Let's go smash it.
34:09Yeah?
34:10Yeah.
34:10Hello, hello.
34:11Morning.
34:12And because we're behind,
34:13I've called in the big guns.
34:15You don't got a lot of stuff.
34:17So while Rob helps Brian cut down his tools,
34:20Sharon, Eloise and Holly
34:21are taking a section
34:22that was mainly hidden behind those curtains.
34:26Do you realise
34:27you had over 3,000 items of clothing in your house?
34:30Wow.
34:31Oh, my gosh.
34:32And the average person has 100.
34:35Oh.
34:36So, Sharon, if you start on accessories,
34:38girls, if you start going through the rails...
34:41Cool.
34:41Yeah.
34:41OK.
34:42Do we need all these gloves?
34:43No.
34:44What is the most expensive pair?
34:46What's the best quality?
34:47What's the ones that you love?
34:48What are the ones that are really keeping your hands warm?
34:51It's only one of those leather ones.
34:53Yeah.
34:54That's his biker glove.
34:55Oh, so he might need to keep that.
34:56No, no, because he hasn't got a bike.
34:58Oh, well, then I...
35:00So they can go.
35:01Let's get rid of these blue-handed ones,
35:03because I know I don't really use these often.
35:05Because really, all we're going to need is one of each.
35:08You're going to have your posse, your Phillips head,
35:10and a couple of the flatheads.
35:12One should just open a painting and check for the heads.
35:15If any of your posse heads are worn, there's no point,
35:19because all it would do is slip on every screw.
35:20OK.
35:21That lot...
35:22That lot gone.
35:23There are certain organisations where we can actually donate tools to.
35:29Oh, oh, my gosh.
35:31Oh, they're doing well.
35:32Should we go and do a pile dump with our barrows?
35:34That's what I'm trying to do.
35:36Oh, my gosh.
35:37Oh, the suitcase is down.
35:38Well done, girls.
35:40Oh, my gosh.
35:40Good start.
35:41Yeah.
35:44Since Rob's chipping in at the warehouse,
35:46Ewan's having to flex his own DIY muscles.
35:49I know that Sharon really likes to work with visuals with her ADHD,
35:53so I'm thinking if I can bring the cork board up the wall here,
35:56we can have a giant notice board.
35:59So what I'm going to do is remove this dado rail,
36:04and I'm going to cork the whole entire thing
36:07using this cork that's on a roll.
36:10The thing is, if I get too handy,
36:14Rob will utilise me too much,
36:16so I pretend I'm not.
36:25Right, next strip.
36:27This is more like it.
36:29And what I'm going to do now is paint it
36:31to match the rest of the room,
36:33so this is just going to look like one of the walls.
36:36I never thought I'd see the day,
36:38but at the warehouse, Tilly's gone soft.
36:41Why don't you have a lie down on the bed
36:42and imagine that you're empty nesters?
36:44Don't trip me.
36:45Close your eyes and think we are now
36:47in our new, lovely, organised house.
36:51No kids, no noise.
36:54It's nice and silent.
36:57Right, let's wake up.
36:58Let's go.
36:59I knew it wouldn't last.
37:02Do we need these excess curtains?
37:04No.
37:05So they could all go?
37:06Yeah.
37:07How are you feeling about the girls going to uni?
37:09It's going to be strange,
37:11but I was thinking instead of buying things,
37:13we could put money away and have a holiday.
37:15100%.
37:15This is so important.
37:17Yeah.
37:17In 20 years, are you going to remember this cushion?
37:19No.
37:20You're going to remember the things you did with each other?
37:22Yeah.
37:23As promised, Holly's bedroom belongings are in their own section of the warehouse.
37:28Are you happy for me to touch anything as we're talking about it?
37:31Yeah, it's fine.
37:31Okay, great.
37:32I just want to know where it is.
37:33You just want to know where it is.
37:35And where would you like to start?
37:38We could start with all these teddies.
37:40Okay.
37:40I don't think I need all of them anymore.
37:48And what is this?
37:49It's my favourite thing I own.
37:51It's a PC that I built.
37:53Amazing.
37:54I mean, this is so incredible.
37:55My degree I'm doing is electronics and computer engineering.
37:59How much are you looking forward to it?
38:00A lot, actually.
38:02Yeah?
38:02Yeah.
38:03What I would love to know is how I can make life easier for you when you come home.
38:09I get really overwhelmed easily, you know, by all the stuff.
38:13Yeah.
38:13And all the furniture, and it's all kind of closing in.
38:16So I think just a clear, like, space, you know, organised, like, labelled, you know.
38:21Okay, that's what I'm going to try and help you achieve.
38:24What is that?
38:25Yeah, it's the old camper van handle.
38:28Okay.
38:28We got rid of the camper van, and it was just, like, so many memories we had there.
38:33So I wanted to keep the handle.
38:35I have, like, really bad, you know, like, object permanence.
38:38Like, I'll forget about something if I don't, you know, see it.
38:41Okay, so you need this to remind you of it.
38:43How do we feel about trying to keep one small box of memories?
38:47Yeah, yeah.
38:48So maybe we can reduce the other things, and you keep the camper van handle.
38:53I'm really, really pleased with how Holly's doing.
38:56By her own admission, it was affecting her.
38:57She's going to have her own space just how she wants, and I'm really excited for her for that.
39:02And I think she's really excited.
39:04Oh!
39:06Well done.
39:09To keep the whole family on track for the last few hours.
39:14You're doing well.
39:15So are you guys.
39:17Dilly's discovered just the right outfit for the job.
39:21Hello!
39:21Sergeant Dilly, reporting for duty!
39:23Sergeant Dilly!
39:26Whatever you do!
39:27Yes.
39:28Are these empty?
39:29All of these?
39:30That is empty.
39:32That is empty.
39:33That's Brian.
39:34Use what you've got before you buy more.
39:37Okay.
39:3822, 23.
39:4023 black combs that look like that, Brian.
39:43That's terrible, isn't it?
39:44And you haven't even got that much hair.
39:45No, that's why.
39:46I keep combing it.
39:49Right, guys, this is our last five minutes.
39:52Let's go!
39:57Eloise, do you want this light?
39:59No.
40:00Cat Halloween outfit?
40:01That can go.
40:02Is this a cat shirt?
40:04Yeah.
40:05You know he loves our cat Ted.
40:06Is that Ted?
40:07Yeah.
40:08Oh, my goodness.
40:09Eloise, can the boombox go?
40:11Yeah.
40:15Right, last few things.
40:16Let's put them on.
40:20Well done.
40:21Oh, my goodness.
40:22Look at this pile.
40:24Oh, my gosh.
40:25It's overflowing.
40:26That is crazy.
40:28Well done, well done.
40:29You've done an amazing job.
40:31Good.
40:31We needed the help.
40:32Pleased?
40:33Yes.
40:34We needed that little push.
40:37After two intense days at the warehouse, the family have let go of almost half of their
40:42possessions.
40:45Now we can get out of here.
40:47Well done.
40:47Well done, everyone.
40:49It was worth it, right?
40:51Yeah.
40:55It's early doors, and with over 200 boxes coming back to the Allens' house, I've roped in
41:01my sister.
41:02Morning.
41:03Morning.
41:06I genuinely panicked after I left the warehouse, and I got straight on the phone to Gemma because
41:11seven vans left this house.
41:14That's more than normal.
41:15Yeah.
41:15Way seven.
41:16A lot more.
41:17Four came back.
41:18Oh, wow.
41:18Yeah.
41:19Anyone who needs gems, give her a shout.
41:21Nice.
41:22We will all be shouting.
41:22Come on, team.
41:23We've got this.
41:25We've got 12 hours to get everything back into the house.
41:28This is more Catstar.
41:30And Rob's got to finish his storage wall in the master bedroom.
41:33I just need to get the rest of these panelling on.
41:36Yeah.
41:36And then, yeah, then you guys can come in and start filling up.
41:40Amazing.
41:41Yeah.
41:42While I'm repurposing a chest that was being wasted up there.
41:46I've put some wood panels all around the sides of it, and I'm going to tile it using this
41:52really strong adhesive, and then it will look, hopefully it will look beautiful.
41:56Have you made a mess?
41:58I see you using the old watch.
41:58Just a little bit of a adhesive that's come through.
42:03Back inside, Gemma's elevating some battery-powered lamps with fabric scraps.
42:11Once you've got your folded fabric, all you're going to do is take your lampshade, and then
42:15you're going to start on the insides.
42:17Pop a glue dot just underneath the fabrics, and simply wrap the fabric around the lampshade,
42:23keeping it nice and tight.
42:25And once you fold back over, you will hide the jagged edge with your next run of fabric.
42:31And that's where it starts to become really pretty.
42:36Oh, how are you getting on?
42:38Imagine it up on the wall.
42:39Yeah, so cute.
42:40I think it's so good.
42:41You can make me some of them.
42:42Oh, I don't know about that.
42:43I'm doing this for very special people.
42:45Right, I've actually got a crack on.
42:47I can't just sit here watching you all day.
42:48You go.
42:49Looks good, though.
42:50With the last one, what I would recommend is tucking in the plates so they just hide underneath
42:57like this.
42:57You're going to think you've bought this in a luxury department store by the time I've
43:01finished.
43:04In a less glamorous job, Dilly's maximising the kitchen cupboards.
43:09Most people's under the sink can be utter carnage.
43:12So these shelves literally come in parts, and you build them around your pipework.
43:19I can put smaller things like sponges there, but you can literally just edit it to however
43:24you want.
43:25And another great tip I've got is pop your bin bag rolls into the container like this
43:31and simply feed that through here.
43:33Is that not the hack of all hacks?
43:36Ewan's got his own contender for the hack of walls as he's tackling the marks on one of
43:41the family's many appliances.
43:43This happens when crumbs on top of the toaster heat up and then leave tarnish marks like this.
43:49I'm going to empty the crumbs out.
43:52Spray half white vinegar, half water onto your cloth.
43:55You'll see that this tarnish isn't coming off with the microfiber.
44:00And all you need is just some good old tin foil, just screw up a little ball of it, and
44:06this
44:06acts like a magic eraser without scratching the surface.
44:13And then we give it a little wipe with our water and white vinegar.
44:17Look at this.
44:18You can see my face in it now.
44:20Next door, now my tiles are dry, I want my glammed up storage chest to double as a seat.
44:25So, the wood that I cut, I've cut a piece of foam the same size, and I'm literally going to
44:34put some spray glue on there, glue my foam down.
44:40I've got this velvet fabric, drape over the top, smooth it down, flip it over, and staple.
44:55So, now, I'm going to put my cushion on top of my bench, and voila!
45:05See this pillow here?
45:07Yeah.
45:07When you fold it in half, it pings back.
45:11When I fold this one in half, it's really sad.
45:14Hmm.
45:15It doesn't want to be used anymore.
45:16Well, then we'll recycle it.
45:18Yeah?
45:18Yeah, I can take that.
45:19Next on my to-do list is some furniture for the VIP residents of the house.
45:24So, I'm now trying to make a space for the cat stuff.
45:29So, this unit was actually full of the thousands of pots and pans that they had.
45:35While the paint dries, I'm going to do some stuff to the inside.
45:39Who knew there was cat wallpaper out there?
45:41So, I'm just going to cut a square the size of that hole and just stick it in.
45:47While I'm loving my upcycling, Rob's building a new secret bed from scratch.
45:53This is what's going to turn this room into a multi-functional room.
45:58Now, I'll put the one scoop there.
46:02When it's all closed, it looks like so.
46:08Drop down your first section.
46:12The leg folds out.
46:14Then this section folds out again.
46:19Ah!
46:21Oh!
46:22And you've got a nice comfy bed to learn.
46:25Whew!
46:25Nope.
46:26No time to rest when we're halfway through the day.
46:29I think we need to make a strategy, because otherwise we are going to run out of time.
46:33Yeah, we need a plan.
46:34Are we allowed upstairs yet, Rob?
46:36No.
46:37Dilly, you can come up there to do your bits and pieces, but I need the space to do my
46:41tweaks.
46:41If we can't go upstairs, then us three need to go hard on this kitchen area.
46:46Keep the energy up.
46:47Go, go, go, go.
46:49Dilly's moved on to organising the upstairs cupboards, including some new zones for Holly.
46:54The one thing she wanted when she comes back from uni is just things to be clearer.
46:58To be labelled.
46:59And of course, I'm the labelling queen.
47:02But although we have got loads more to organise, I've made the last minute decision in Brian
47:07and Sharon's bedroom.
47:09Don't you think we should knock this down?
47:13Yeah, but they've got the space for a wardrobe.
47:15It would be a shame just to kind of waste it.
47:18You're sounding like Sharon.
47:20They don't need another wardrobe because they've got all those wardrobes there.
47:24So can I just knock it out?
47:25From looking at the bottom of this, I think this was, it was just built in situ.
47:28So it wraps over the skirting and sits on top of the carpet.
47:31And then imagine walking into this room without that big block.
47:35I've always wanted to do a bit of demo.
47:37No more curtains.
47:42This is roller times.
47:44You've told me the carpenter is nearly finished.
47:47And it's not.
47:49Goodbye wall.
47:51Let there be light.
47:53Woo hoo.
47:55Watch out.
47:56Yes, roll.
47:58Bit of filler.
47:59Sand it down.
48:01Paint it green.
48:02Woo hoo.
48:03Woo.
48:04Woo.
48:04One big job down, but there's important finishing touches to turn to.
48:09I need to get all these things on this wall for Sharon.
48:12No, we're going for centre.
48:15Shut up, Rob.
48:17Poor bloke.
48:18He's only trying to do his job.
48:21Diddy!
48:22Gemma!
48:23Last room!
48:23Come on!
48:24Let's go!
48:25Right, go, go, go.
48:26Keep going.
48:27OK.
48:28Yeah.
48:28I'm trusting you.
48:29Let's go down.
48:30We need to get some of this bedding on.
48:31Rob, let's make, put these pictures up.
48:33Come on!
48:34We've got ten minutes.
48:35Come on!
48:36Oh, my God!
48:37Can someone open those cutters?
48:38Well done, Gem.
48:39These cupboards are brilliant, Rob.
48:40Thank you, Gem.
48:42I appreciate you.
48:43Yeah, that's better.
48:44Are we done?
48:45I think that's it.
48:46Is that it?
48:46Oh, thank goodness.
48:54Yay!
48:58How are you?
48:59How are you?
49:00How are you?
49:01You all right, darling?
49:02Sharon.
49:04How are you?
49:07Sharon, you look a bit nervous.
49:09I'm excited.
49:10Yay!
49:12Honestly, really hope this is a chance for you to start your whole new life together.
49:17Right.
49:18It'll be like a fresh start, isn't it?
49:19Shall we go in and have a look?
49:21This is the best bit.
49:23A week ago, this room was overrun with unopened purchases and kitty clutter.
49:30Okay, come in to your living room.
49:34Wow.
49:35Oh, my God.
49:37Wow.
49:37Oh, my God.
49:39Now, it's been revived with a fresh colour palette and everything and everyone has a place.
49:46Look, we've still got cat.
49:47Oh, we've got a little cat show.
49:48We've still got the cat things.
49:50Oh, no.
49:50Dad, look at that.
49:52It's Ted.
49:54Your favourite child.
49:56Lord Ted.
49:57It's so nice now we can actually use the window seat because we couldn't before.
50:01My sister made these.
50:02Oh, really?
50:03So, she was helping us yesterday.
50:04She pulled fabric around these lampshades.
50:06Oh, amazing.
50:06And these are not wired in.
50:08Gorgeous.
50:08You know.
50:09You know, Brian.
50:11Recharge the bulbs and they've got a little remote and it's in that blue box, eh?
50:15And even that?
50:16You can actually open it and get in there.
50:19Oh, my God.
50:20So, it's a real utility space.
50:22Oh, wow.
50:23What do you think, Holly?
50:24It's just so nice and it's finally somewhere, you know, where we can all sit in the living room
50:29and it's not, like, all stressful.
50:32It's really nice.
50:33Oh, Bob, Bob.
50:33You all right, Bob?
50:35Aw.
50:37You're so silly.
50:41You deserve it.
50:42You're going to start us all off now, aren't you?
50:44It's a beautiful house.
50:46It is now.
50:48Oh.
50:51Love it, Holly.
50:51Don't hold back.
50:54Brian, Sharon, should we go and see the kitchen?
50:57Yeah.
50:57Yeah?
50:58Let's do it, yeah.
50:58Right, come on.
50:59I can't imagine.
51:00Open your eyes.
51:05Amazing.
51:06Oh, wow.
51:08Oh, my gosh.
51:11Before, the potential dining room was a jumbled, undefined space, while overflowing cupboards
51:17made the kitchen almost unusable.
51:20Now, each space is organised and fit for a clear purpose.
51:26Oh, look.
51:27Look at the little cat handles.
51:29Can I just say?
51:30Oh.
51:31We've actually turned this into the only curtain in this house, Sharon, let me tell you.
51:37I love the curtain.
51:38It's a little cat closet.
51:39Oh, no, look at that.
51:41In here.
51:43All that food.
51:44Oh, wow.
51:45That's amazing.
51:46So, you know your cork wall before?
51:49Yeah.
51:49We've actually extended it all the way up.
51:51Oh, wow.
51:51Yeah.
51:52So, you can just fill this whole wall with memories come through to the kitchen.
51:58Yes.
51:58Oh, my gosh.
52:01You've got a kitchen.
52:02This doesn't look like the same kitchen.
52:04Have a look under the sink now.
52:06Oh, wow.
52:07Yeah.
52:07Oh, my gosh.
52:08Top organisation from Dilly.
52:10Oh, this is my dream under the sink cupboard.
52:13And don't worry, Brian.
52:15Oh, look, the ice cream.
52:16Oh, yeah.
52:17With cones as well.
52:18In order to hopefully force you to actually use it before the cones go mouldy.
52:22Oh, that's brilliant.
52:23Oh, lovely.
52:24Come in.
52:25Oh, my God.
52:27It's green.
52:28I love green.
52:29Yay!
52:31That's that box that Mum's telly was on in Mum and Dad's bedroom.
52:34Oh, I don't want.
52:35Yeah.
52:36And now it's the seat and Holly inside.
52:40It's amazing.
52:40So, when you come home from uni and you want to do a bit of baking, all your stuff's in
52:44there.
52:44It looks really good, doesn't it?
52:45Oh, that's so good.
52:47Shall we let Brian put his feet up?
52:49And shall we go and see what used to be the Room of Doom?
52:53Come into it now.
52:55Oh.
52:55No way.
52:57Oh, my God.
53:00Oh, my gosh.
53:02The spare bedroom was being wasted as a dumping ground.
53:05Too crowded to even get into.
53:08Just seven days later, it's a multi-functioning guest room and office for the students of the house.
53:15Wow.
53:15Yeah.
53:16Oh, my gosh.
53:17All my books.
53:18We wanted to create a space where you could all study.
53:22And this is a desk, so it just flips up.
53:25Oh, wow.
53:26Oh, wow.
53:26And you just push it in.
53:28You okay?
53:29Yeah, I just feel quite emotional.
53:31What is this?
53:33Is this...
53:34It's actually very special.
53:35Okay.
53:36It's a very special unit.
53:37This is a drawer with a couple of pillows in.
53:39But if you open this up...
53:42Oh, my gosh.
53:43And bring this down.
53:45Spare bed.
53:46Oh, wow.
53:46It is.
53:47Wow.
53:48A proper spare bed.
53:50I did.
53:50I didn't expect that.
53:51I didn't realise it.
53:52I didn't think...
53:53No.
53:54Dad?
53:58Are you serious?
53:59Yes.
54:03Oh, Brian.
54:05Wow.
54:05No.
54:07Yes.
54:08Well, there's still more, Brian.
54:09We've got one room left.
54:11Come in.
54:13To your new bedroom.
54:16Do me a...
54:19Blimey.
54:21Wow.
54:23Seven days ago, the master bedroom felt like a chaotic walk-in wardrobe.
54:29Now, we've enhanced Sharon's out-of-sight, out-of-mind storage
54:33to create a chic and calming space.
54:37It doesn't look like the same room.
54:40It's grown.
54:43Oh, it's lovely, Brian.
54:46The wall's gone.
54:47The wall's gone!
54:48The wall's gone!
54:49Oh, the wall's gone!
54:50It was late in the day, but I just thought, do you know what?
54:53Give me a hammer.
54:54Oh, no, thank you.
54:54I'm knocking it down.
54:55It was just tiggledy-piggledy everywhere, wasn't it?
54:58Oh, by the way, Brian, I just want you to know that Mum's...
55:03Oh, letter.
55:04Oh, lovely.
55:06So, like, any time you actually want to get it out, read it.
55:08Oh, no worries.
55:09Yeah.
55:09It's amazing.
55:11And there's one more surprise.
55:13We upgraded the curtain, and that is an entire wall...
55:17Oh, wow.
55:19...of wardrobe.
55:20Oh!
55:21Oh, my gosh, it's ginormous.
55:25Quick shuttering.
55:26It is ginormous.
55:28I wonder what the noise is.
55:29I don't mind.
55:29I don't mind.
55:30You can shut me in here.
55:31It's nice and tidy.
55:32For all of the bits that don't get out every single day, Rob made these cupboards...
55:37Oh, wow.
55:38...and Dilly organised everything inside.
55:41Oh, wow.
55:42This is amazing.
55:43I know.
55:45Oh, that's beautiful.
55:47Oh.
55:50It's a new chapter for us.
55:53Oh, my God.
56:01Oh, my God.
56:03Oh, my God.
56:04Did you like, come here, come here.
56:05Oh, we loved it all.
56:06Oh, good.
56:06We loved it all.
56:07Dilly, you are a star.
56:09Room of doom, I cannot the same room.
56:11Brian and Sharon have dedicated their lives to raising their nieces and nephews, to raising
56:18their children.
56:19And after 20 years, they have finally got their house back.
56:23And I just feel so...
56:24I feel so lucky to have been a part of that.
56:26What a house.
56:27Just going to be weird now.
56:29Just me and Brian.
56:30Wild parties, maybe.
56:31He'll do his finger dancing.
56:44We've got a really grown-up house now.
56:47The weight has been lifted.
56:49It's a bit like being able to breathe out, isn't it?
56:52It's kind of...
56:54I'm finding the bedroom space amazing.
56:57I think it's just like a hotel.
56:58You go in and everything's as it should be.
57:01I love my new workspace.
57:03This is what I've dreamed of.
57:05The girls are doing really good at uni, aren't they?
57:09Holly's settled in.
57:10She's got new friends.
57:11Have you guys been keeping the house tidy?
57:14We have.
57:14And we do miss them.
57:15Brian's been making some lovely dinners most days.
57:18And we've been sitting at our little table together and enjoying it.
57:22I haven't been using my ice cream maker.
57:24When it gets a little bit warmer...
57:26Yes.
57:28I'll hold you to that.
57:29Black party music and feeling this morning.
57:30Yeah?
57:48Something Nike.
57:48What else do we need to get a fucking mec engagement?
57:48We'll have it all tomorrow.
57:48And so, we'll be there.
57:48We'll be right back when it comes through.
57:49Yeah.
