00:00Shirley, do you want to keep Sarah's teeth?
00:04No.
00:05We all have far too many belongings clutter in our homes and lives.
00:11Oh my God, I can't actually open it.
00:13Avert your eyes.
00:14Oh no.
00:15Come through the door, drope.
00:17You'll be good at this.
00:18Would you ride it?
00:20But imagine if you could lay out every single item you own.
00:25So much stuff.
00:27Oh my God.
00:28Stop it.
00:29Mum.
00:30And then decide what should stay.
00:33Do you need it?
00:34Do you love it?
00:34Do you want it?
00:35Oh, Diddy is going to love you.
00:37Are you really going to keep the snowboard?
00:39You're literally not going to use it.
00:41And what should go?
00:42You are going to have the most amazing house.
00:45Woo!
00:47Me and the dream team are back.
00:50Did you not just ring a bell for me?
00:52Ready to organise.
00:54And do things like this really inexpensively.
00:56Clean.
00:57There we go.
00:58Look how shiny that is now.
00:59An upcycle.
01:01Bookcase in a door.
01:03Sharing money saving tips.
01:06I'll get a right frill.
01:07Making something ten times cheaper than it costs to buy you.
01:10To help breathe joy and happiness back into people's lives.
01:15A secret office.
01:17It is beautiful.
01:18Wow.
01:19And all in just seven days.
01:22Woo!
01:22You broke it.
01:23Now you're going to have to fix it.
01:24You've done it!
01:26Woo!
01:26And all in just seven days.
01:27Woo!
01:28Mission accomplished.
01:37Look at us on a road trip.
01:39Here we go.
01:39Woo!
01:40Woo!
01:41Me and the team are heading to the town of Ashton Underline near Manchester.
01:45You all right there, Dill?
01:46Yo, yo, yo.
01:47What's happening?
01:47Hello.
01:48Are you going to go and see your club?
01:50Yeah, I will definitely go and take a visit to Man U.
01:53Wait.
01:55We'll be going to City.
01:56Oh, girl.
01:58We're here to help a multi-generational family whose cluttered home is holding them back.
02:04Oh, thanks, Stace.
02:05Here we are.
02:07Hello, hello.
02:08All right.
02:08There he is.
02:10How was the trip up?
02:10Oh, dirty.
02:11Hello.
02:12It was okay until Dilly sat in the front and started giving us directions.
02:16Did I get us here?
02:17No, I got us here by not listening to you.
02:20Anyway, this is the Mysterious House.
02:22They've lived here for over 30 years, raised their three children here.
02:26The kids have all grown up now, but the house is overrun with clutter.
02:31The oldest son still lives here and the girls come back on full flight yo-yos, so they need our help.
02:36All righty.
02:37Come on.
02:37We'll be all right.
02:38Yeah.
02:38We can do it.
02:40Come on.
02:41The family's out, so we can have a look around and see what we're up against.
02:46Oh, look.
02:47Demon spray.
02:49There you go.
02:51Harsh.
02:52Just you wait.
02:54This 1970s house has got a kitchen diner, a TV room and a converted garage downstairs,
03:01and there are free bedrooms and a spare room upstairs.
03:07Oh, wow.
03:09Oh, my God.
03:09Oh, my God.
03:10Oh, wow.
03:12Oh, come on, guys.
03:13We don't even need to look around.
03:15Who cares about this?
03:16Oh, my God.
03:17That is so tasty.
03:18Oh, my God.
03:20Oh, we love you, mystery family.
03:22Just eat all the foods.
03:23By the time the family get here, we'll say we had a look around.
03:26You know, the cupboards are full.
03:27Rand rooms.
03:28Lots of clutter.
03:29Lots of stuff.
03:30They won't even know we haven't looked around.
03:34Right.
03:34Put the lid on.
03:35Let's keep going.
03:38There's obviously a little doggy somewhere.
03:40There's a lot of dog stuff.
03:42What is all this?
03:44Exercise bike.
03:46Oh, classic.
03:47Every exercise bike ends up as a clothesline.
03:49Yes.
03:50You'll be good at this.
03:51Would you ride it?
03:52What, like that?
03:52Yes.
03:53What?
03:55Not like that.
03:57The exercise is to get back up again.
03:59And if doggy daycare and keep fit isn't enough for one room, there's more.
04:04Bet they like hosting here.
04:05There's all the adult booze and everything else, and then there's all the consoles.
04:09No, no, no, shoot over there.
04:12No, no, go to the left.
04:13They're trying to watch telly, and he's shouting away at the gamers on this side.
04:17He takes over this whole room.
04:19Exactly.
04:20Right, stop gaming.
04:21Come on, to the kitchen.
04:23Every cupboard is full to the brim.
04:27Oh, my goodness, even the oven.
04:28The oven has become a cupboard.
04:30The oven is historic.
04:31Oil.
04:32Oh, oh.
04:33There's oil in the oven.
04:34They've literally run out of space that they're using the oven as a cupboard.
04:38Oh, tuple edgery.
04:39Why do people keep so much Tupperware?
04:41Look at all this Tupperware.
04:42Is this all needed?
04:43They obviously love their coffee.
04:45Do you know what I think is happening here?
04:47Sometimes when you have loads of space, the default is to fill it.
04:51Fill.
04:51And there's just too much.
04:52There's too much of everything.
04:53Way too much.
04:54Let's split up.
04:55Yeah.
04:56And see the rest of the house.
04:57Right, come on, Rob.
05:00They've got understair storage.
05:02Oh, it's good understair storage.
05:03Oh, my.
05:03This is, like, an extension of the kitchen.
05:07This could be the most incredible space.
05:11Rob and Ewan head upstairs as me and Dilly check out the converted garage.
05:15Oh, my goodness.
05:18At least in the kitchen, things were hidden in cupboards.
05:21Do you know what they've done?
05:22They've converted the garage but not found any space for the garage stuff.
05:25Like, all their tools are in here.
05:27We love bags of bags, don't we?
05:29Oh, bolt buying.
05:30You love a bit of this.
05:31Nappies.
05:32All the kids are in their 20s.
05:34More glasses, look.
05:36Even if they did say we've run out of glasses, sorry, I can't.
05:40I bet they don't use half of this stuff in here.
05:43Oh, is this a bedroom?
05:45Upstairs, there's even more clutter.
05:47Goodness, it's absolutely jam-packed.
05:49Noah, look at the bags.
05:50There's loads.
05:52Saris.
05:54Wrapping paper up here.
05:55Paper plates, more party wear.
05:57More party stuff.
05:58I think this room is where all of the overspill goes.
06:01Yeah.
06:02Out of hand now, isn't it?
06:04Oh, this must be Mum and Dad's room.
06:08I'm not sure about all these clothes.
06:10You think they're going away somewhere?
06:13Oh, my goodness, look how many saris.
06:16Dilly, look how many clothes.
06:18It is jam-packed, isn't it?
06:20Where's his clothes?
06:22Oh, look, there's a few in here.
06:23All those new shirts that haven't even been worn.
06:26I mean, at least the saris are all in beautiful sari bags,
06:28but there's just so many.
06:29But how many?
06:30And there's more next door in their eldest daughter's room.
06:33There's more saris.
06:34Oh, look.
06:36Furbies.
06:37This does feel a bit like a teenager's bedroom.
06:39Yeah.
06:39Fresh out of the 90s.
06:41We need to go into the old time machine and bring this forward.
06:44To modern times.
06:46Yeah.
06:46Oh, clearly not everyone in this family has a clutter problem.
06:52Oh, look at this, Dilly.
06:54This is amazing.
06:56Oh, my gosh, he is tidy.
06:59I bet he gets well frustrated in this house.
07:01I bet he drives him mad.
07:03We need to make a plan.
07:05That is a house and a half.
07:06The floor's clear, but every bit of storage is just bursting out of that house.
07:11It's completely rammed, isn't it?
07:12We need two warehouses.
07:15Thank goodness they paid us.
07:16One for the saris and one for the rest of the stuff.
07:18Yeah.
07:18Here they are.
07:20Whoa.
07:21Hello, guys.
07:22Hello.
07:23Hello.
07:24Pleasure to meet you.
07:25Thanks for the food.
07:26Oh, you're welcome.
07:28So nice to meet you.
07:30We've been roaming around your house.
07:32It is beautiful, by the way.
07:33Oh, thank you.
07:34There is a lot of stuff in there.
07:37I know.
07:37He's just gone to pots.
07:38You've really carefully hidden everything in cupboard.
07:42And as you open them, you realise there's an abalone.
07:45The house has been the family home to Neela and Nat for the last 30 years,
07:53where they've raised their three children, Roshni, Jay and Hina, who's away.
07:58The only way I can describe the house is disorganised chaos.
08:02No rice.
08:04No rice here.
08:05I get anxious because of how much clutter there is.
08:08That's something else.
08:09The house is a mess because we hang on to things.
08:12You know, we've gone through a lot in the last 35 years.
08:15Nat?
08:15Yeah?
08:16I can't find the spare tub of rice.
08:19I think you must have finished it.
08:20And there's sort of arguments between us because we can't find them.
08:23Both Nat and Neela came to the UK as children.
08:29I was born in Uganda.
08:31And I was born in Nairobi.
08:33And I came here because I lost my mother.
08:35When we came to UK, we came with nothing.
08:38It was hard.
08:39It was hard.
08:40Since we got married, it's been tough.
08:43When kids were growing up, I've always done shift work.
08:45I had no choice to do nice, just to help the family.
08:49Whatever we earned went in the house and went for the kids, really, you know, to provide
08:53things we never had as a child.
08:56When we first bought the house, it was only a two-bed house.
09:00When Nat's father came to live with them, they converted the garage.
09:04My grandad had a stroke, so he needed full-time care.
09:08Having that room was a matter of changing everything, just to be able to look after the parents,
09:15which is important to them.
09:16My grandma, my mum's mum, she also lived with us for quite some time.
09:20That's what we've taught our kids, always be close to your family.
09:23Family's very important.
09:25But it's been really hard trying to sort the house out as you're growing in it and working.
09:30We've just had a very busy lifestyle.
09:32I think we're both sentimental about keeping things.
09:36I've tried talking to our parents about decluttering.
09:38It's a really, really touchy subject.
09:41Mum and Dad are just as bad as each other.
09:43I do not think that I'm responsible for all the clutter in the house.
09:48Most of the stuff in the house is my wife, Nela.
09:52Wow.
09:52Wow.
09:53You take no accountability for your own clutter and mess.
09:57I spend a lot of time coming to and from London, but I get anxious because of how much clutter there is.
10:02I live at home all the time, and I'm the one that has to deal with this every day.
10:06I'm still lucky that I've got Jay still living with me, but Jay really needs his own space.
10:11When I get home, there's nowhere for me to de-stress.
10:15Come on, Leah.
10:16Come on.
10:17There's limited privacy.
10:20Now that I see my parents getting older, I want them to enjoy the home that they've spent so long building.
10:26It's just so stressful.
10:27When you want to come in the house, you just want everything in the right place.
10:30I think it's time to let go.
10:33It's time for a fresh start.
10:34Yeah, definitely, definitely.
10:36We will always advise that you'll have to let go of at least 50% of everything in the house.
10:42How does that make you feel?
10:44Happy.
10:45I'll do it.
10:45Happy as well.
10:46Yeah?
10:46We're ready.
10:47Let's do it.
10:48Let's pack up.
10:48Come on.
10:48Come on.
10:48We've got just 12 hours to get this home packed up and ready for the warehouse.
10:56First up, kids Roshni and Jay are helping me to clear the converted garage.
11:01Right.
11:02Rosh.
11:03Jay.
11:06What is this room?
11:08So this is our Bapa's room and it's turned into a bit of a mess.
11:13What happened?
11:15It used to be a full functional room.
11:19This is some of your stuff in here?
11:20I'll admit, yes, there's quite a lot of my tools stuff in here.
11:23Okay.
11:24Have you guys tried with mum and dad to declutter for them?
11:27We actually tried and then all of a sudden my mum just started getting really angry.
11:31When you're in with your parents and your parents are collecting this much stuff, that must be really difficult too.
11:36It drives you insane.
11:37It's nice being at home, but you want your own independence.
11:40Is it financially that you just can't move out for a minute?
11:43At the moment, it's too difficult.
11:45I've just come out of eight years worth of apprenticeships.
11:49Wow.
11:50I feel like there's a, like, parents versus kids thing going on here.
11:53This, I think, is overwhelming for them, but they don't want to admit it.
11:57Okay.
11:57This is our rebellion.
12:01Next door, Dilly's packing up with Nat and Neela.
12:04How long have you been in this house now?
12:07Um, 31 years.
12:09So you've really built yourselves alive, haven't you?
12:11Yeah.
12:11I mean, what an amazing house you have.
12:13So you've been doing it up slowly since you've been here?
12:15Yeah.
12:15Nat wanted to look after his dad, so we decided to have the house extended for him.
12:21We changed the garage into a bedroom for him.
12:23How long did he live here for?
12:25I'd say he lived here about 15 years.
12:28It's a lot, though, isn't it, looking after parents?
12:29Yeah.
12:30And my kids were only small.
12:31It was hard because I did evenings, he did night shift.
12:34So I was on my own, really, with the kids and my father-in-law.
12:37While my father-in-law was here, my mum also came and stayed with us.
12:42Jay was sharing the room with mum.
12:43You must be so proud that, you know, you've come such a long way now.
12:47And how do you use this space at the moment?
12:49Because it looks like Jay just sits there in place.
12:51After work, you're always here sitting.
12:53He works as well, sometimes late in the evening.
12:55What would you like to get back from the house?
12:57I'd like to have space.
12:58Yeah.
12:59A sense of relief that we've not decluttered for 15 years.
13:02Neil has made a hit list of what I've got to achieve in the house.
13:05A hit list?
13:07This house.
13:11So that Dilly doesn't kill us when we get to the warehouse,
13:13we need to make sure that it's all the same things in one box.
13:16Upstairs, Ewan and Rob are helping Roshni pack up her bedroom.
13:21Do you still stay in here a lot?
13:22I do.
13:23I've got a wardrobe here and a wardrobe in the room.
13:24Have you really?
13:26This isn't your teenage clothes, is it?
13:27No, like stuff that I've wanted to keep just in case.
13:29So you're using your teenage bedroom as a just-in-case.
13:33Confessions of Rosh here.
13:34Yes.
13:35That's what we're getting.
13:36Secret hoarder.
13:37So what would you like this room to become?
13:39It'd be a nice multi-purpose room.
13:41Obviously still have bits of my things in.
13:43Oh, so basically keep it exactly the same as it is.
13:48We're three rooms down.
13:51That's my measure.
13:53But the house looks worse than when we came in
13:55because we're now discovering where all of the stuff has been hidden.
13:58We better get cracking because time is running out
14:01and there's still that overstuffed kitchen to clear.
14:04Now I don't think I've ever seen this much Tupperware in my life.
14:08Have you not?
14:09Butter.
14:10Butter?
14:11If I want to freeze something, I freeze it in there.
14:13But you've got all these you could freeze it in.
14:15Uh, yep.
14:16No, no.
14:16I always have a backup plan, you see.
14:19I already know I'm going to struggle and swear out.
14:23I can't believe how many glasses there are.
14:25Oh, there's more.
14:26Family get-togethers, Matt gets the best whiskey out.
14:28So do you often host, like, lots and lots of people?
14:31We have five sisters and three brothers.
14:33Amazing.
14:34So they come with their families.
14:35Is it hard to host at the moment?
14:37People used to stay in the house,
14:38but now you don't be busy all day clearing out the rooms
14:42to try and make a room for them to stay.
14:43Then I think it must be difficult for you,
14:45because especially if you love hosting
14:47and you cook the most incredible food.
14:50It is, yeah.
14:50So there was less stuff in here,
14:52and we just had the essentials.
14:53It just needs to be sort of worked out better.
14:56Definitely.
14:57Now that Nat's retired, are you going to retire?
15:00No, I'm still working as a maternity unit.
15:01I do all the admin work.
15:03Wow, so you still work hard time.
15:04Nat's retired.
15:05Yeah.
15:06I suppose, are you at the point where you're like,
15:08I just want to clear home?
15:09Yeah, definitely.
15:11We've only an hour to go.
15:13And we've still got Nat and Nila's jam-packed bedroom to box up.
15:18Do you remember when you wore all these?
15:21Look at this.
15:22On different occasions?
15:22Yeah.
15:24This one's not been worn yet, Rushie.
15:27Oh, my God, what are you saving that for?
15:29I just wanted a special occasion to wear it,
15:31but it's not happening.
15:32Rush never gets married.
15:34Oh!
15:35I feel like we've got a long time coming for that mother.
15:38Are you in charge?
15:39No, she's not.
15:41Hell no.
15:43I think those days have gone.
15:45Look at the shirts!
15:46They're all in their pockets.
15:47They've never been used.
15:48You know, when you go to weddings,
15:49people used to give you shirts or saris.
15:52How many weddings do you go to?
15:54A lot.
15:54I think one of the most important things
15:59that we need to do in this home
16:00is really make a house that works for everybody.
16:03You know, you've got a couple that are retiring
16:05and then you've got Rush and Jay,
16:07and we've got to make that home work for all of them.
16:10Last box.
16:11Last box.
16:12Yay!
16:12Yay!
16:13Yay!
16:13It's been a long 12 hours,
16:18but the mystery's house is finally clear of clutter.
16:21See you at the warehouse.
16:24Hooray!
16:25Hooray!
16:25Hooray!
16:27And over 300 boxes of possessions
16:30are heading to the warehouse.
16:32Look at how much empty space in this room now.
16:35It's actually quite big.
16:37It's actually standing here.
16:38From Baka's room to a dumping ground.
16:40Let's see what it looks like end of this week.
16:43Over the next 48 hours,
16:48the family will have to go through
16:50over 30 years of possessions,
16:52which have been laid out in the warehouse.
16:58Who's got the most amount of stuff?
16:59Mom.
17:00Mom.
17:00Mom.
17:01Thanks!
17:02Sold.
17:02Go straight.
17:03You don't even listen!
17:04Right, turn left at this car then.
17:07Can't believe it.
17:08Very big.
17:09This is the purge.
17:13Good morning!
17:14Morning!
17:14Morning!
17:16Hi!
17:16How are you all feeling?
17:18Yeah, good.
17:18I'm feeling good.
17:19Are you?
17:19I'm excited.
17:21Excited and nervous.
17:22Must say, it's probably one of the prettiest warehouses
17:24I've ever seen.
17:25Oh, wow.
17:25Oh, Neela, you look so nervous.
17:27She is nervous.
17:28Don't be.
17:29Oh, Neela.
17:30I think it just got to me now.
17:33Facing it is always more difficult
17:34than the fault of facing it.
17:36That's right.
17:36You know, because this is real now.
17:37And once we get in there,
17:38we do have to make some really tough decisions.
17:41That's right.
17:41It's OK.
17:43This is the start of something amazing.
17:45I know.
17:45I know.
17:46Don't watch him.
17:47You go on there.
17:50Come on, let's do it, Neela.
17:52You've got this.
17:55Right, this is it.
17:57We're going to do this together, OK?
18:00It's opening.
18:02Oh, my goodness.
18:04Oh, my God.
18:06I can't believe it.
18:07Are you joking?
18:09Oh, this is amazing.
18:11Oh, it is colourful, isn't it?
18:13It goes all the way around to the side.
18:16I've gobspacked.
18:17I'm so shocked.
18:18That's definitely the biggest kitchen section
18:21I have ever seen.
18:2435 years of saris in here.
18:27Mum, you have so many.
18:29Out of the hundreds of boxes of belongings
18:31unpacked from the mystery family home,
18:33we discovered 104 dog toys,
18:38361 glasses,
18:4176 jars of spices
18:42and over 5,000 bangles.
18:47How are you feeling, Neela?
18:49Are you OK?
18:49OK, just overwhelmed.
18:51I can't believe that our house held all these things.
18:54Just can't get over it.
18:55It's like being in a shop
18:56with all the displaced bangles.
18:58You can 100% open a bangle shop.
19:00Right.
19:01As long as we finish this warehouse
19:02and half of everything in here
19:04is going somewhere else and not home,
19:07that's when your life can begin.
19:09Are you ready?
19:10We're ready.
19:11Are you ready?
19:11Yes, let's go for it.
19:13Let's go for it.
19:14Come on.
19:16The family need to decide what to keep
19:18and what to donate, recycle or sell.
19:24With so much to get through,
19:25I've put the boys on electric
19:27so I can give Neela and her 288 saris
19:30my full attention.
19:33My magpie brain is instantly drawn
19:36to this entire section
19:37because it is...
19:37It is beautiful.
19:38So beautiful.
19:39God, why would I just wear these every day?
19:41I used to wear it every day.
19:43My mum always wore a sari in the house.
19:46So you lived in...
19:47East Africa.
19:48So then when did you come to England?
19:50We came in 1970.
19:52Wow.
19:53Midwinter, January.
19:54Wow.
19:55God, that was a shock.
19:56It was a shock.
19:57Never seen snow in my life.
19:58Oh, my God.
19:59Yeah, it was just...
20:00I still have memories where we live.
20:02The rooms were like only two rooms,
20:05like the kitchen and a main bedroom.
20:07So as a child,
20:08we didn't have much back in Africa.
20:11We'll say,
20:12Oh, we'll just keep it.
20:13We'll make use of it.
20:14So I think that's why
20:15we're holding on to a lot of stuff.
20:18Why were you coming over?
20:19So...
20:20Idi Amin overtook East Africa.
20:24You fled the country.
20:25We did.
20:26Didn't come with nothing.
20:27Didn't even have a suitcase.
20:29Oh, my God.
20:31Everything was just wrapped up in a sheet.
20:33I do understand that
20:34when you've been through that exile,
20:36basically,
20:38the want and the need
20:40to hold on to everything
20:41because you never know
20:42when you could be in that position again.
20:44So it makes sense.
20:46It does.
20:46It does make sense.
20:47But this is where we break the cycle.
20:49Oh, we do it.
20:49We do.
20:50I know.
20:51Like that white and red
20:52is my wedding sari.
20:53Is it?
20:54Is this what you got married in?
20:55I would never get rid of that.
20:57So many.
20:59This is your ploy
21:00to stop me from making you
21:01let go of any saris.
21:04There we go.
21:05Oh, my God.
21:05This looks really...
21:06Princess.
21:07Oh, I look amazing.
21:08Let's do this.
21:10Wands on the table are staying.
21:11That can go.
21:13This can go.
21:13No, that can stay.
21:15Right, next table.
21:17I am getting rid.
21:18I don't like this.
21:19That's new.
21:20I feel like it's my
21:21whole life's collection going.
21:24This is my mum's,
21:25so I'm going to keep these.
21:27Neela may be struggling
21:28to let go of her saris.
21:29Be gone.
21:30But Nat and Jay
21:31are powering through the electricals.
21:33We've already cleaned
21:34one section.
21:36I think mum is going to struggle
21:37because my mum
21:38hasn't got rid of them
21:40for a reason in the past.
21:41Her having to decide
21:42what she wants to keep
21:43and what she doesn't want to keep
21:44is going to be very difficult.
21:46Roshni,
21:48she's definitely going
21:48to have a battle on her hands.
21:51If you're going to keep that,
21:52you have to go back
21:52to this section.
21:53You're so strict, Rosh.
21:55I don't think you understand.
21:57I think my mum's
21:58really overwhelmed.
21:59It's hard because
22:00she holds more sentimental value
22:01to her things.
22:02She's definitely trying,
22:03but I can tell
22:04she's still holding
22:05onto some of the saris
22:07she doesn't really need.
22:08How are you getting on, Roshni?
22:09It's actually giving me a headache.
22:11I'm not going to lie.
22:12How's mum been?
22:13Mum's just not letting go
22:15as well as I thought.
22:16Shh.
22:16She's coming back.
22:18What are you doing, you two?
22:19Nothing.
22:23I'm up to rest, Jay.
22:24I think you should take
22:24the next lot of saris.
22:26Where do we even start?
22:28I don't like it.
22:29No, this is nice.
22:30No, I don't like
22:30and I don't like this red one either.
22:32Roshni, just put it back.
22:33Put it back, Rosh.
22:35Otherwise I'll throw something
22:36which belongs to you.
22:37Right.
22:38I think I need to go check on Dad.
22:40You two not going to kill each other
22:41while I'm going?
22:41Yes.
22:42Right.
22:42Might do.
22:43Try not to.
22:44See you later.
22:45There's so many different reasons
22:47why she's held onto this stuff.
22:49It's a collection of years worth
22:51of life events.
22:52I think that's what
22:53this whole process is about.
22:54It's about trying to come to terms
22:56with the fact that
22:56when we don't need something anymore
22:58and when it's not serving us
22:59a purpose, we've got to let it go.
23:00Sometimes that takes a while
23:02to kick in
23:02and I think it's just going to
23:03take a little bit longer
23:04with Neela.
23:05We can tell Mum's struggling
23:06trying to get rid of things
23:07so me and Rosh trying to do this
23:09on our own
23:09was impossible.
23:11We needed,
23:11we needed a team.
23:13How are ya?
23:14You're just about getting there.
23:16Yeah.
23:16It's been hard.
23:17Has it?
23:18It's one of you.
23:19Yeah, just blame me.
23:19Roshni.
23:20I left for five minutes
23:22then it got a bit tense.
23:24Both of you are doing really well.
23:25This isn't an easy process.
23:27After years of not doing this
23:29to then come into it
23:31as if it's just going to be like,
23:32oh yeah.
23:32Oh yeah, let's just get rid of this.
23:33Yeah.
23:34But we will get the job done.
23:35We will, definitely.
23:36And we'll all be speaking at the end.
23:38Hope so.
23:39Are these to sell
23:41or to donate?
23:42Donate.
23:42It may not be the 50% target
23:44but Nila has let go
23:45of an impressive
23:46third of her sari collection.
23:49It's a great start.
23:50Imagine all of the people
23:51that will be lucky enough
23:52to receive these.
23:53Yeah, they'll be over the moon.
23:55I feel proud of myself.
23:56Nila, you're doing a great job.
24:00Is there actually one still in there?
24:01Yeah.
24:01Hang on, it's Toy Story.
24:03Yeah.
24:05How's it going, guys?
24:06Yeah, so many phones
24:07we don't know what to do with them.
24:08Looks like things are going
24:09really well over here.
24:10We've managed to clear
24:11three sections
24:12that we're pretty much
24:13ready to get rid of.
24:15Well done.
24:17Yes, Nat.
24:20Girls.
24:21Yeah.
24:21Look at all the space.
24:22It's an amazing
24:23first time father and son.
24:25I know, working together
24:26as a team.
24:27Honestly, working together.
24:27We can barely build Ikea
24:28without killing each other.
24:30No flat times for you two.
24:34Across town,
24:35the team are making plans
24:36for the mistress house.
24:38As the family changes,
24:40a home needs to be reinvented
24:41for everyone's needs.
24:43And they're starting
24:44with the converted garage.
24:46Oh, good morning.
24:49Look at the space
24:49we've got now.
24:50I cannot believe it.
24:52Jay's not going to be
24:53moving out any time soon
24:54so I feel like he needs
24:55his own kind of,
24:56almost like a living area
24:57for himself.
24:58It is really hard though.
24:59Multi-generational living.
25:00Splitting up that space,
25:02you know, gives the parents
25:03and their dining room back.
25:04He's not playing there
25:05but it means that
25:06he's got his own space.
25:07Definitely need to make
25:08this room also a guest room.
25:09Well, what I'm thinking
25:10is that wall over there,
25:12that is where we'd place
25:13all of our storage
25:14and his gaming.
25:15Central would be
25:16the television.
25:17Yeah.
25:17All of his gaming gear
25:18underneath.
25:18Uh-huh.
25:19Hiding away the cables
25:20as best as we possibly can.
25:21Yeah.
25:22When it's not in use,
25:23we're going to create
25:24a sliding door.
25:25Love that.
25:26Love that.
25:27Lots of storage,
25:28everything beautifully hidden.
25:29Mm-hmm.
25:30Genius.
25:31Leaving Rob to measure up
25:33the multifunctional
25:33storage unit,
25:35Ewan is upstairs
25:36tackling mouldy grout
25:37with a mix of
25:38bicarbonate of soda
25:39and hydrogen peroxide.
25:41And you want to get this
25:42to a consistency,
25:43a little bit like cement.
25:46And then what I like to do
25:47is just put my rubber gloves
25:48on and then go directly
25:50onto the grout
25:51with the paste.
25:53Leave that for at least
25:5410 minutes
25:55so that can start to work.
25:56These are an electric
26:00scrubber.
26:03Really get into the grout
26:05with this.
26:08And look at the difference.
26:11Can you see that
26:12compared to here?
26:14Wow.
26:18Back at the warehouse,
26:19we've still got to tackle
26:20the biggest section of all,
26:22the kitchen.
26:23Kitchen time.
26:24Oh, my.
26:25It's like walking the tightrope
26:27through all the stuff.
26:28Your kitchen takes up
26:30an entire quarter
26:31of the whole floor space
26:33of the warehouse.
26:34Oh, dear.
26:35It's huge.
26:35It's a lot, isn't it?
26:36It's a lot.
26:36It's a lot.
26:37Oh, pans.
26:38Oh.
26:40You're a big family
26:41who entertain a lot,
26:43but I can't imagine
26:44at any one point
26:45you ever needing
26:46all of this.
26:47I think that's the one
26:48from when my dad
26:49passed away.
26:50So as a tradition,
26:52you hand things down.
26:53Yeah.
26:53Like family pots and pans.
26:54Yeah, you do.
26:56Yeah, so you give something
26:57when someone's gone.
26:59So it's like a remembrance.
27:00This one,
27:01it's a whole set.
27:02I made chicken curry
27:03the other day
27:04in this one
27:04for everyone.
27:05But why couldn't you
27:05have used that one?
27:07What are you thinking?
27:08I feel like,
27:10how many pans
27:10does one person need?
27:13We're not going to be congoled.
27:14That's a big old space
27:15we're getting back.
27:16I feel overwhelmed.
27:17Let's just stack them up.
27:19Do you know what
27:20I think we're doing here?
27:21I think we're just
27:22building a pan castle
27:23and we're not actually
27:26letting go of anything.
27:27We still don't think
27:28we need two of the same ones.
27:28We can go back in love.
27:29I'm just...
27:30Dad!
27:32I'm leaving.
27:33I'm leaving on that note.
27:37I can still use this
27:38to do barbecue outside.
27:39Dad!
27:41But it's not just pots and pans
27:42that are hard to let go of.
27:44Oh, my goodness.
27:45Look at all this.
27:47I genuinely believe
27:48even if you cut this collection
27:50down by half,
27:51you'd still have too many glasses.
27:52Yeah, I agree.
27:53So why don't we do
27:55a ten-minute blitz
27:57in the glass section?
27:58The crystals are staying.
27:59Is that all right, Stacey?
28:00No, not all the crystals
28:01can stay
28:02just half, I would say.
28:05They can roll.
28:06Because I've spent
28:06a lot of money on them.
28:07But then we do have to say
28:09goodbye to some,
28:10otherwise it'll be just too many.
28:12I know it's really difficult
28:14and I keep watching you
28:15thinking this is really hard for you
28:16and I don't want you to feel...
28:18It's years of money
28:20spent on things, isn't it?
28:21Yeah.
28:21Money you've worked really hard for.
28:23Yeah.
28:23And when you explained to me
28:25how you ended up coming
28:26to this country...
28:27Yeah, with nothing.
28:27Yeah.
28:28So it is hard to depart from things.
28:30The glass section
28:31is a tough one.
28:33Those crystal glasses
28:34signify to Neela
28:35how far she's come
28:36and how hard she's worked.
28:38Well, maybe sell this set.
28:39Sell that set?
28:40Yeah.
28:41Letting go of those
28:42isn't easy.
28:44And I get it.
28:45They've been sitting
28:46in a cupboard
28:46for way too long.
28:47Look at all this space.
28:52You have done
28:52an incredible job.
28:54Like, one, two, three, four.
28:56Reduce to one.
28:57Down to one.
28:58We've been ruthless.
28:59You have been ruthless.
29:01They have.
29:01They have?
29:02They have.
29:04Neela.
29:05What's the next section?
29:07Over at the house,
29:08the team needs to come up
29:10with an idea
29:10of how to make
29:11the open-plan kitchen diner
29:12a more organised
29:14and functional space
29:15for Nat and Neela.
29:15Oh, I mean, this room
29:19is unbelievable, isn't it?
29:22Yet underutilised, I feel.
29:24And they love having
29:25people over all the time.
29:26They love a party, don't they?
29:28I'd like to create
29:29a display up here
29:30for the glasses
29:31and then, at the same time,
29:33I'd like to place
29:34an actual bar here.
29:37What can I get you, love?
29:38Oh, yeah.
29:40I'll have a pint of lager
29:42with a lemonade top, please.
29:45Feeling a bit fruity today.
29:47Here we go.
29:48There's quite a big head on this.
29:49Get out of my pub!
29:53Across town,
29:55Neela is standing her ground.
29:57I've brought it all the way
29:58from India.
29:58I'm not getting rid of that.
30:03All of you!
30:04And Nat's invited me
30:07for a drink.
30:08A whisky a week.
30:12I reckon you've got
30:13about 40 years worth.
30:14Exactly.
30:17Now I want to keep them.
30:19Do you want to try this?
30:20Is this a really important part
30:21of your life?
30:22It is.
30:23When the family gets together
30:24and they always know
30:26uncle's going to get
30:27the best whisky out.
30:28So it's a really important part
30:29of...
30:30It is.
30:30...just the way of life.
30:31Yeah.
30:32We should make a pledge today
30:33for you to keep
30:35all of the whisky
30:36as long as you don't
30:37add to it anymore
30:38until you've got through
30:39a good portion of it.
30:41I can make that promise.
30:42Promise?
30:42Yeah.
30:43We're going to drink to it.
30:44Yeah.
30:44Cheers.
30:44Cheers!
30:48Christ alive!
30:53I'd better not drink too much
30:55because we've still got
30:56plenty to salt.
30:57Not least,
30:58Neela's 5,000 bangles.
31:00These have never been used.
31:03Oh, yeah.
31:03I got them from India.
31:04Perfect for your wedding.
31:06Keep saying,
31:06Roshni, have you found anyone?
31:08Every time I come back
31:09it's a new question.
31:11Have you found anyone?
31:12Now I'm being nosy.
31:13No, I am.
31:13Is there anyone in the pipeline?
31:14There's nobody.
31:15Time's ticking now, Rosh.
31:17I was 25,
31:18you're 30.
31:23Oh, my goodness.
31:25Wow.
31:25That's the prettiest donate pile
31:27I've ever seen.
31:29The first day in the warehouse
31:30is nearly over
31:31and we need to pull together
31:33before they lock us out.
31:35So it's go, go, go.
31:3723.
31:38How many cases do you take
31:39when you go on holiday?
31:40We know which one's going.
31:42Run!
31:42That's what I need.
31:47Handbags and shoes.
31:48I'm coming.
31:49Boots!
31:50Which one?
31:52Oh, get rid.
31:53Those can go.
31:54What, these ones?
31:56We never worn them.
31:58Grab your last handfuls
31:59because this is it.
32:0020 seconds, come on.
32:02This is it.
32:03We've got no time left.
32:06That is it.
32:08No more time left.
32:09Just look at this for a second.
32:13That's actually quite a lot.
32:14That's actually a lot more than I thought
32:15we'd get rid of today.
32:16That's all the space
32:18that you're getting back
32:19into your house.
32:20I'm excited for you tomorrow.
32:22Good luck with Dilly.
32:23I'm going to hide.
32:25Did you have a good day?
32:26I had the best day.
32:27Honestly.
32:29Well done.
32:29Oh, my gosh.
32:38I mean, this is a thing of beauty,
32:41but it hasn't been touched.
32:43Although the mystery's tackled
32:44some big sections,
32:46there's still a lot
32:47of the warehouse to sort.
32:48Luckily, Dilly's on duty today
32:50to make sure they get through
32:51the rest of it.
32:52Have they actually had a drink?
32:54Is that used glasses?
32:56The cheek.
33:00Oh, good morning.
33:01Good morning.
33:02Morning, Dilly.
33:03Morning.
33:04What was the best part
33:05of yesterday now?
33:06Drinking.
33:08We have to be ruthless today.
33:10So let's start, shall we?
33:12Yes.
33:12I mean, there's a lot of toys
33:14considering, you know,
33:15you're both in your 20s,
33:16early 30s.
33:18So this should be
33:18a really easy, quick win, right?
33:21Yeah.
33:21It should do.
33:22So the Furbies,
33:22they have to stay?
33:23They do.
33:24They're Furbies.
33:25Dilly's face.
33:26They're adult toys,
33:27not negotiable.
33:29Adult toys.
33:29What adult toys
33:30are we talking about now?
33:31Minions.
33:32It's Minions.
33:33Minions.
33:34My friend.
33:35That's your Minion?
33:36Yeah.
33:37Let's have a little blitz
33:38through these, shall we?
33:40Nothing in here
33:40that you want to keep?
33:41These old dolls?
33:42Not the Barbie.
33:43Not the Barbie.
33:43Yeah, I was going to say.
33:44Where did you get this one from?
33:46Yeah, from India.
33:47I mean, that's amazing.
33:48Yeah, you'd never get that.
33:49I've never seen a Barbie like that.
33:50Look how much this Barbie is worth.
33:52Go on.
33:53£89.
33:54Special edition.
33:55I mean, really?
33:59With this many toys,
34:00I'm not so sure
34:01Neela is the only one
34:03who hangs on to things.
34:05Nat, if you could choose
34:06between a 20-year-old
34:07bottle of whiskey
34:08and your Minion,
34:10what would it be?
34:11I'd let go of the Minion.
34:12Yeah?
34:13I think the Lego can go.
34:15No, it cannot.
34:16Donate.
34:17Donate.
34:18Donate.
34:18Clear, clear, clear, clear.
34:22Right, is this all that's left?
34:23Yep.
34:23Yep.
34:24Let's take these.
34:26This is what it's like
34:27five minutes of me being here.
34:28There's some now blank space.
34:30Good start.
34:32Dilly's not the only one
34:33creating more space.
34:34Back at the house,
34:36Rob is building a multifunctional storage unit
34:38for the converted garage
34:40to help get the family organised.
34:42As long as I've got this
34:43in the right place,
34:45a nicer level,
34:46it means everything else
34:47after that
34:48will go right into position.
34:50Sliding door
34:53on the front
34:54just like this
34:56and then it'll be all finished.
35:00Right, that is the floors mopped.
35:03What I like to do
35:04when I finish mopping
35:06is to give my mop
35:07a really good clean.
35:10You'll often get this like
35:11silt
35:11left in your mop bucket.
35:13We don't want to be
35:14keeping that in there either.
35:16I'm going to make sure
35:16that that's all
35:17rinsed out as well.
35:20And I'm going to pop my mop
35:21into here to soak.
35:23I'm going to add
35:23some hydrogen peroxide
35:25which is what I've been using
35:26to clean the floor with.
35:28And you can leave it to soak
35:30and then look at the difference.
35:32So already
35:33that's looking much better.
35:39Right, let's have a look through here.
35:42Over at the warehouse,
35:43Dilly is up in the pace.
35:45So whose is it
35:46and who is using it?
35:46It's my exercise bag.
35:48Are you going to use it again?
35:49When does it work?
35:50Not working properly.
35:52He only uses it
35:53when we say
35:53we're going to get rid of it
35:54and then we can't get rid of it
35:55because he says he's using it.
35:57So we're keeping a bike
35:58that doesn't work.
35:59Can we get rid of it?
36:00Er, no.
36:02It's a very hard decision to make.
36:07I think the bike should go.
36:08It needs to go.
36:09All in favour of the bike going.
36:11Yes.
36:11Listen, happy wife, happy life.
36:14It needs to go.
36:15It's going.
36:15It needs to go.
36:16Let's go.
36:17Let's take it then.
36:19Let's blitz this.
36:19So these are all ornamental?
36:23Yes.
36:24I wanted to be able to decorate something,
36:26my own personal touch in an area.
36:28But they haven't made it on the wall yet?
36:30I haven't made it on the walls yet
36:31because I'm not allowed to drill on the walls.
36:33Who's not letting you drill on the walls?
36:35My father.
36:35It's his house, his rules.
36:37So at the moment,
36:38they've been living in a plant pot
36:39in the front room.
36:40It would be nice to sort of, you know,
36:41be allowed to put some things on the wall,
36:43wouldn't it?
36:44Nat, how do you feel about Jay?
36:46Things like this that he might like
36:47to put up on the walls?
36:48Not on the wall.
36:49Oh.
36:50So he's not allowed anything on the walls?
36:51No.
36:52By the time I retired,
36:53I was expecting them to be settling down.
36:55Yeah.
36:55Unfortunately, they haven't.
36:56Yeah.
36:57They haven't settled down yet?
36:58No.
36:59Thanks, Dad.
37:00All he wants is a couple of swords
37:01on the wall and a bookshelf.
37:03Bit of me space.
37:05Nat and Jay have a bit of conflict.
37:08It just feels like Jay doesn't really get his own say
37:11in what goes on in the house,
37:12like even in his own room.
37:13The reason we're doing this
37:14is because we need to create a home
37:16that works for both generations.
37:18Now is their time to get it sorted.
37:21And does that include the dog?
37:23How about that?
37:23Do you think your mum is a little bit
37:24obsessed with the dog?
37:25She's so obsessed with the dog.
37:26Same with Dad.
37:27He's never shown us emotion.
37:29Especially me growing up,
37:30Dad was so strict.
37:31And then later come,
37:33he's just been so affectionate.
37:35Yeah.
37:35It's so nice to see my dad
37:36in a light that I've never seen him in.
37:38Remember, with all the toys that we donate,
37:40they can go to an animal shelter.
37:41With the final day in the warehouse nearly over.
37:45Hi there.
37:46Oh, Nat.
37:48You cutie.
37:50Is that staying or is it going?
37:51No, he's staying.
37:52Of course it is.
37:53It is time for one last push.
37:55Ten more minutes.
37:57That's all we've got left.
37:58Right, let's all grab a rail and get them out.
38:01This is good.
38:03Ooh.
38:07Right, pens, pencils, let's get rid of them.
38:11You definitely need 200 different spices.
38:13It's an Indian thing.
38:14I know it's an Indian thing.
38:16I see it.
38:16I get it.
38:17I get it.
38:18You like cooking.
38:20Right, this is going?
38:21Yeah, that's going.
38:22This can go.
38:23You can't really throw these pictures away
38:27because it's our lifetime memory, isn't it?
38:29It's just lovely.
38:30That's his mum.
38:31A year after, she passed away.
38:33How are you getting on, guys?
38:34Lots of memories.
38:35Yeah.
38:35That's your grandma.
38:36Oh, wow.
38:37You've never seen her.
38:38So we keep this.
38:39Yeah, we'll definitely keep it.
38:41I like to frame this.
38:44Sell, sell, sell.
38:46That can go.
38:47Let's go.
38:48Oh, well done.
38:52Oh, that's it.
38:53Come on, dearly.
38:54Join us.
38:54Oh, thank you.
38:56Look how much lighter it feels.
38:58Yeah, it does.
38:59It's been two intense days at the warehouse,
39:02but pushed on by their children,
39:04Nat and Neela have managed to let go
39:06of almost half of their belongings.
39:09How have you found it?
39:10It's been hard to let go.
39:12Yeah.
39:12It's definitely been hard.
39:14We've had our arguments.
39:15Don't ever underestimate what you have just achieved
39:19because it's huge.
39:20You've only had two days in a warehouse
39:22to go through 40 years of your life.
39:25Are we all still friends?
39:26Yes.
39:27Come on.
39:28Shall we go and get a little whiskey?
39:31Yes, definitely.
39:32Come on.
39:33Round two.
39:33Round two.
39:34Ding, ding.
39:39No way.
39:40Morning.
39:41Morning.
39:43Got it.
39:43It is 9am and over 150 boxes of the family's possessions
39:48are back from the warehouse.
39:51Right, so do you know what you can do?
39:52You can start cleaning, Ewan, all the glasses.
39:55Dilly, you need to start organising things.
39:57What?
39:58Let's not break anything, first of all.
40:00While Dilly gets on with the Tupperware,
40:02Ewan's putting the sparkle back into the family crystal
40:05using his favourite cleaning combo,
40:07washing up liquid followed by white vinegar.
40:10Do you ever not use white vinegar?
40:11No.
40:13Look how beautiful this is sparkling now
40:15in comparison to that.
40:17That is amazing.
40:17Stunning, isn't it?
40:18Yeah.
40:18Literally brand new.
40:21Rob's building that spa
40:22and he's got a handy shortcut
40:24that can be used for making other storage.
40:26If you're building anything
40:28and you can get away with using some flat pack
40:30instead of having to go through the hard work
40:32and expense of cutting down a full sheet of material,
40:37I'd say go for it
40:38because then once you've cladded everything up
40:40and you've added all your finishing touches,
40:43they'll never know.
40:44I've got one, two, three, four, five mugs.
40:47But if I turn these mugs,
40:50the every other one upside down,
40:52it means that I can now fit in one more.
40:55I mean, it's only a small win, but it's good.
40:58It just means that we're maximising the space
41:00as much as we can.
41:04Now that we have finally cleared that garage extension
41:07that turned into a bit of a junk room,
41:08we are going to try and make it into a haven
41:11for Jay and for the other kids when they come home.
41:13And when somebody has an abundance of bowls,
41:16you can make so many things from them.
41:18Do I look like Princess Leia?
41:21You can buy bowls like this for super cheap,
41:23a bit of MDF,
41:25and all of a sudden,
41:26you've got a blooming table.
41:27So I'm just going to put some epoxy glue
41:31around the rim of one bowl
41:32and then get your other bowl
41:34and place it directly on top.
41:37This takes about 20 minutes to go off this glue.
41:40There is one.
41:42Then I'm going to put a little bit of glue here.
41:47I'm just going to get down for this bit
41:49so that I can see.
41:51You do want it to be perfectly in line,
41:54otherwise you'll have a wonky table
41:55and no-one needs a wonky table, do they?
41:57Fill the gap with wood filler
41:59and sand down until smooth.
42:04I've got my wood stain
42:05and I'm just going to paint it on.
42:08To finish my coffee table,
42:10I'm cutting out a piece of wood for the top
42:12and I'm sanding it down.
42:17While Rob continues with the storage,
42:19Dilly's got a clever trick to transform blankets.
42:21So now, I'm just going to fold this over like this.
42:27So I'm just rolling it.
42:32And then up again.
42:34And then I'm simply going to take this lip
42:36and fold it over.
42:39So now, what I've got
42:41is this amazing
42:42little blanket parcel
42:45pillow.
42:48I mean, how clever
42:49is that?
42:51You would never know.
42:55We're not the only ones busy.
42:57Across town, Nat and Neela are donating
42:59their dog toys to the local dog sanctuary.
43:01I don't think Leia will miss it.
43:04She's got loads.
43:06Hiya.
43:07Hiya.
43:08We've got some
43:08lovely toys for your dogs.
43:12Aww.
43:13Want another one now?
43:15Hello.
43:17Hi.
43:18Hello.
43:19How are you?
43:21Aww.
43:23Back at the house,
43:24we're making a little bit of extra space.
43:27I'm eating these
43:28because they wouldn't fit in the cupboard.
43:30Have you got any more overflow?
43:32Loads of overflow.
43:34And there's some cookies we can eat.
43:36They didn't fit either.
43:37I can make any snack disappear.
43:40How's it going, gang?
43:41Not good.
43:43What?
43:43Containers everywhere.
43:44There are a lot of containers.
43:46There's a lot of everything.
43:48I'm doing all right outside, you know.
43:49I'm doing good.
43:50I'm doing good.
43:50It's only midday,
43:52so we're a little bit further on than usual.
43:54Do you want to help me with one more thing?
43:56I don't mind.
43:57To the workbench.
43:58To the workbench.
43:58Let's just stay on time.
44:01Hold on a second, Rob.
44:02I'm setting it up.
44:04Ready for us.
44:05Don't worry, Stace.
44:07I need Rob for his level head
44:08because I'm upcycling Roshni's headboard for her bed.
44:13It's heavy, isn't it?
44:16You were standing there for ages
44:18like it was a paper bin.
44:22Oh, my God.
44:24Just staple a layer of foam
44:26followed by fire retardant fabric
44:28and then an outer layer to a wooden frame
44:30to make a unique headboard.
44:33That's not bad.
44:37It looks amazing.
44:38That's not bad.
44:40Rosh is not going to want to leave this bedroom.
44:42Neela loved her cooking stuff so much
44:48that I thought,
44:48why don't we bring it into the bedroom?
44:51Upstairs, Dilly's got a nifty hack for storing accessories.
44:54Ah, look at this.
44:58Give me all the bling.
45:00So I've got this baking rack
45:01and I'm literally just using it
45:03to hang all Neela and Nat's accessories.
45:07Nat and Neela absolutely love hosting
45:11and cooking food for their friends and family.
45:13And I'm having a look at their dinner bowls here
45:15and they've got what looks like little cracks in them
45:18but these are actually scratch marks from the cutlery.
45:22To get rid of these,
45:23I like to use this powder cleanser.
45:25It works really nicely on stainless steel.
45:28It's also really good for your ceramic plates.
45:31Just pop a little bit of warm water on it
45:33and then go on with some of the powder.
45:37And then I'm just going to take a microfibre cloth
45:41and rub away.
45:44And you'll see those scratch marks just disappear.
45:49It's like magic.
45:50Just need to give it a little bit of elbow grease.
45:52Look at that, all gone.
45:54That is incredible, isn't it?
45:56I've had a marvellous idea.
45:59Ding!
46:00If you want wall lights
46:03but you've got nowhere to plug the wire into,
46:06you can charge them up,
46:07connect it to wall light,
46:12get rid of this bit
46:13and you wouldn't even know
46:16that these weren't wired into the wall.
46:24This cupboard was absolute chaos.
46:27It was the understairs cupboard of doom.
46:29In fact, no one else could find anything in here
46:32apart from Neela.
46:33So what I've done
46:34is just use these containers
46:35to divide up all the different sections
46:37so that now
46:37everyone in the family
46:39can open up the cupboard
46:39and they can see
46:41what is in there easily.
46:44Neela let go of a third
46:45of her beloved saris
46:47and then I snuck into the donate pile
46:49to take one of her favourites
46:50and make some wall art.
46:52I'm just going to cut along here.
46:55So much fabric.
46:56From this angle
47:07it looks fantastic.
47:09The makeover's almost done
47:11and we've got just half an hour left
47:13to pull everything together.
47:16Rob, can you do the sofa after?
47:18Do the sofa with me after this.
47:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:20I'm just going to throw up these shelves.
47:21These glasses look so good, Ewan.
47:23They look so good, aren't they?
47:26We've got enough, haven't we?
47:28I feel like I was preparing for a wedding.
47:33This is it!
47:34Careful!
47:35What do you think of bangle napkin holders, guys?
47:38Oh, nice!
47:39Get out, get out, get out!
47:40Nearly done!
47:41Come on, everyone!
47:42Two more minutes, let's go!
47:43Oh, beautiful!
47:44We've done it!
47:45Yay!
47:46This is action!
47:47Come here!
47:48This is it!
47:49Oh, my God!
47:50Well done, gang!
47:51Well done, everyone!
47:52Looks so good, doesn't it?
47:53Let's get out of here.
47:54Yeah, come on!
47:55I can't wait for him to come home tomorrow.
47:57Oh, my God!
47:58Well done, gang!
47:59Well done, everyone!
48:00Looks so good, doesn't it?
48:01Let's get out of here.
48:02Yeah, come on!
48:03I can't wait for him to come home tomorrow.
48:05This time last week, the mystery's family home was full of 30 years' worth of clutter.
48:19I am so excited.
48:20I cannot wait for Nat, Nina and the kids to see it all.
48:24It's time for the mysteries to see how letting go of over half of their possessions has transformed
48:29their home.
48:30We had so many people to think about in this house, so many different people to please,
48:34save and the dog.
48:35Are you excited?
48:36Are you excited?
48:37Well excited.
48:38Yay!
48:39Hello!
48:40Oh, the window's open!
48:41How are you?
48:42So nice to see you guys!
48:43How are you?
48:44In the warehouse, you did such a great job.
48:46Oh, now the nerves have gone.
48:47Yeah, now they're excited.
48:49Shall we get in there and have a learn?
48:51Let's go!
48:52Come on!
48:53Come on!
48:54Seven days ago, the kitchen diner was a confusing jumble of different family activities.
49:02Come in to your kitchen living area.
49:07Oh!
49:08That looks amazing!
49:12Now it's a bright and inviting space with clear zones for all their living needs, including
49:17a bar for storing Nat's drink collection and Neela's crystals.
49:21You have done beyond my dreams!
49:22You've got a bar in the front!
49:23You've got a bar in the front!
49:24Come and have a look!
49:25That's actually insane!
49:26Oh wow!
49:27I never imagined this!
49:28I never imagined this!
49:29Rob built this bar.
49:30Bless you!
49:31I decorated it with these little wooden panels.
49:32I really like the panels!
49:33So cool!
49:34And all your alcohol lives in here!
49:35Dad, look!
49:36Mom!
49:37Oh, that's so special!
49:38You're okay, Dad?
49:39You're happy?
49:40I'm very happy!
49:41You need a photo!
49:42And we put your picture of your first ever whiskey tasting!
49:43Oh my God, I love that!
49:44Oh, look at this!
49:45I thought we could use some of your special bangles as napkin rings because they're so pretty!
50:03Yeah, yeah!
50:04That's so clever!
50:05You haven't cleaned all your crystals, you can finally use them!
50:10Your kitchen was already so beautiful, but it was full to the brim and so I'm so happy!
50:15So Dilly was able to organise every single cupboard!
50:18All of your dishware is in there!
50:20Oh, dishware!
50:21And your stones!
50:22Oh, that's so cool!
50:23So it's all under there!
50:25See everything?
50:26Everything with an access?
50:28That's brilliant!
50:29So Dilly has had so much fun in here!
50:32She did!
50:33She did!
50:34She's labelled every single thing!
50:36Oh, that's so lovely!
50:37All of the boxes now tell you what's in there!
50:39It's an extension of the kitchen basically!
50:41It is, yeah!
50:42So when you're looking for those extra ingredients, they all live here!
50:44It's all here!
50:45Oh, that's awesome!
50:46Come on, Rush!
50:47Oh no, let's just see if I really love it!
50:48I know!
50:49Yeah!
50:50Not only was Rushney's childhood bedroom stuck in time, it was also being used as overflow storage
50:59for the rest of the house!
51:01Come in!
51:02Oh my god!
51:03To your new bedroom!
51:04Oh my goodness!
51:05Now, it's a serene and stylish space with not a childhood toy inside!
51:16Oh wow!
51:17I absolutely love it!
51:18See you!
51:19You might convince me to move back home!
51:22Mum will be so happy!
51:23I love the colour, it's like my favourite colour!
51:25Shelving up the top made it feel really close in.
51:27We let go of it and we actually used some of the wood around the house and then we just
51:31upcycled your wardrobes because they were beautiful already.
51:33I really like it!
51:34Open it up!
51:35Oh wow!
51:36Dearly organised all of your stuff!
51:39Oh I love it!
51:40I absolutely love it!
51:41What is this?
51:45I made that headboard out of your old headboard and then we upholstered it and padded it out
51:51and those lights, you didn't have any plug sockets so we've used these bulbs that are basically
51:57you recharge them instead of your wires into the wall.
52:00That's perfect!
52:01Yeah!
52:02I love it, I absolutely love it!
52:05Thank you!
52:06Thank you so much!
52:07Oh my god, you're so welcome!
52:08I've never had like a bedroom with personality and this you've really brought up like what
52:12I love!
52:13Oh I'm so glad!
52:14I know how much you love coming home but you've always felt like, God I've got a...
52:17I think I need to come home next week!
52:19That looks amazing!
52:23Are you happy?
52:24Yeah I am actually happy!
52:26She said she's back now!
52:27She said she's going to come back!
52:29Save your money!
52:30Save my money and come home!
52:31No pressure!
52:32I didn't want that to me now!
52:34The box room, which was bursting with clutter...
52:39It's just a little rejig in here!
52:42...has now been sorted and systemised so that everything has a place!
52:47Oh wow!
52:48All of your saris and bangles!
52:51Bangles!
52:53Colour coordinated!
52:54All colour coordinated!
52:55Love it!
52:56Love it!
52:57I love it!
52:58I love it!
52:59Honestly I love it!
53:01And Nat and Neela's bedroom, previously a chaotic space full of overflowing boxes and bags...
53:10Coming to your bedroom!
53:14Oh wow!
53:15Wow!
53:16...has been transformed into a calm and organised haven!
53:21The same cupboard!
53:22Awesome!
53:23We've just painted them and put new handles on!
53:25Oh!
53:26Oh look at it!
53:29So I don't know if you recognise this!
53:30I do!
53:31Do you?
53:32It's like a saris to me!
53:33It's like a saris!
53:34I love it!
53:35They're so beautiful!
53:36They are!
53:37Your saris!
53:38They are!
53:39I thought we could put it in the room and bring some colour to the bedroom!
53:42That looks lovely!
53:43Now Nat, do you remember you had about 2% of the wardrobe?
53:45Wow!
53:46Now you've got a proper section!
53:47Wow!
53:48Oh that's awesome!
53:49Neela, don't worry because you still have all of your stuff!
53:55Wow!
53:56These are all your shirts, clothes down the bottom, Dillia's gone for all your pyjamas!
54:00All right!
54:01It used to be Neela's corner, Neela's corner, Neela's corner, and Neela's corner!
54:08And only at that corner!
54:09Not anymore!
54:10Oh my jewellery!
54:11Floor?
54:12Wow!
54:13Yes!
54:14I have a floor now!
54:15What is this?
54:16My saris!
54:17Look at that!
54:18There is one last space!
54:20Save the best for life!
54:21Can't wait!
54:22Come on!
54:23And in the carriage conversion, we've got a surprise for Jay!
54:27Once a dumping ground for all the family's possessions, come in!
54:32Oh wow!
54:34To your new sitting room!
54:37This room is stunning!
54:40It has now been turned into a warm and inviting hideaway for Jay and his siblings!
54:45With floor to ceiling storage to keep it clutter free!
54:49I have my own personal room!
54:50This is amazing!
54:52I know it's hard when you're living with your parents and you're trying to go into adulthood,
54:55they're going into their retirement and you're cross generations!
54:58Yeah!
54:59So somewhere for you to sort of escape to!
55:01Yeah!
55:02But when you have family and guests come to stay, this sofa actually turns into a bed!
55:05Really?
55:06To become a guest bedroom!
55:07So the room's multifunctional and doubles up for you!
55:11There was just so much stuff in here!
55:13I forgot how big the room was!
55:14It's huge!
55:15It is!
55:16And in here, do you remember all your tools were sort of spread across the house?
55:20Yes!
55:21A lot of them were in here!
55:22Love it!
55:23A dedicated space for all of your tools!
55:25Now I have somewhere to organise my stuff!
55:27Okay!
55:28Last thing I want to show you is this!
55:31Haha!
55:32No way!
55:35So this is where your keyboard and your controls live!
55:40So you can pull up a chair and actually sit and chill and you won't have Dad breathing down your neck!
55:44No, this is brilliant!
55:45This is awesome!
55:46You deserve it today!
55:47This is actually awesome!
55:48I'm so happy!
55:49I'm so happy!
55:50You love it!
55:51I am so happy!
55:52Oh wow!
55:53Oh my goodness!
55:54Oh!
55:55This is a transformation!
55:56He's not leaving!
55:57He's not leaving!
55:58He's not leaving out!
55:59I'll have my room back!
56:00Yes!
56:01Woo!
56:02Thank you so much!
56:06Thank you so much!
56:07You deserve it!
56:08You are honestly one of the kindest families!
56:10You opened your home to us and we've had the best week!
56:12Cheers!
56:13Cheers!
56:14Well done family!
56:15Nat and Neela have worked their butts off for 40 plus years and they deserve every single
56:21thing that has come to this house!
56:23Now this is their time to start afresh, to begin their new life together, to retire and
56:29have something to look forward to!
56:30I am just honestly buzzing!
56:33Coming from work, it's just great!
56:38It's nice to walk in and know there's no clutter there anymore!
56:42Since the house has been clutter free, it's just completely changed the dynamic of our
56:47family!
56:48There's less family arguments!
56:50Everyone's a bit happier!
56:52Are you hungry?
56:53You're always hungry Jay!
56:54Can I have a mocktail please?
56:56We had the family memories and they came back!
56:57We had the last family round!
56:58They were impressed!
57:00Having people over now is so much more different!
57:03We're not shutting this door off to this room because there's that much clutter!
57:07Everything now has a place!
57:09I feel more than adult in my own house!
57:11It's just lovely now that we've all got a space of our own if you want me time!
57:16We've got a perfect home now!
57:18I think we have a perfect home!
57:19It's been long waited!
57:20Cheers!
57:21If you buy something, get rid of something!
57:24That's a new motto!
