Hello?! I'm just in the warehouse!
Ah! Show me love.
I'm back with the dream team...
Here we go!
..to help families let go
of the thousands of items
cluttering our lives and homes.
Oh, wow! h*, h*, h*, h*!
We'll strip each house
to its bare bones...
Let's do this, team! Come on!
..before laying every single item out
perfectly in a giant warehouse.
THEY GASP
Oh, wow!
Oh, dear.
HE CHUCKLES
Could you let go of half
your stuff...
Don't even think about it!
..to double the space you live in?
But this is good.
Then we'll clean...
Scrape, coming straight off.
..upcycle...
Brand-new, repurposed wardrobe.
I think it's going to look
like a posh hotel,
do you know what I mean?
..and organise.
Nothing in this house is going
to go to waste.
In order to save the pennies...
The biggest money box in history.
..and restore joy into lives.
Wow!
Yay!
Your living room.
It looks like a proper grown-up
house. It does, doesn't it?
Oh, my God!
How did you do this?
All in just one week.
Dilly, if I see you pull down the
back of the sticker one more time...!
HE BARKS
Ah! Ha, ha, ha, ha.
We did it!
Me and the g*ng are back on
the road to help another family
declutter their home.
Where we off to, Stace?
We are off to...
..East Grinstead.
Oo! I know.
I haven't been there before.
And how have I managed
to get a ride with you?
I don't know, you drew
the short straw?
I know! I'm suddenly
feeling like I want to be
back in the safety of
Stacey's driving.
W-what we... What are you
talking about?
Here we go.
Hello, hello. Breathe in. Hello!
How are you? Yay! Show us some love,
show us some love.
You had a haircut? I have.
You look so cool.
It's like a real serious bob.
I am serious.
Oh, she means business now.
Are you even more serious now?
This family better watch out. Yeah!
Right, so, Amy and Stuart.
They've got a really young family,
three children.
Four years ago, they upsized
and they thought,
"Oh, great, everything's going to be
fine. We've got loads more space."
But actually they're struggling
to keep up with it all.
So...
..that's where we come in.
Here we are! Yeah, yeah.
Let's go inside and see
what we're dealing with.
Oh, it looks nice, doesn't it?
I love the enthusiasm at
the start of the day. Yes! Yeah.
See how long that lasts.
The Daniels family have gone
out for a few hours
so we can have a snoop around
to see what needs sorting.
OK, here we go.
In their home, there's an open-plan
living and dining room.
Along with a kitchen...
..and three bedrooms.
Ah! Ah, the door opens.
The door does open.
Strong start. Yes!
There is only three
children and 22 coats. Yeah.
There is an under-stair
cupboard there. Yeah.
What is in the under-stair cupboard?
What is underneath there?
Dilly's worst nightmare.
It's like a pantry under the stairs.
Making me hungry.
All right, let's have a look.
I think that's possibly the worst
under-the-stairs I've ever seen.
No, you're right.
I think food is an issue under here.
They've chosen the wrong place.
It's too low. It's too dark.
They're never going
to find what they need. No.
Aww!
Oh. Oh, yeah. I like it in here.
Hold on. What's that?
Oh, no! No way!
Is that behind the sofa?
Ah, I'm telling you -
there's toys behind the sofa,
there's toys inside the TV unit,
there's toys on the fireplace.
There's just no adult space.
It's just overrun with toys.
Like a big playroom.
This is a nice chair.
But is it broken?
No, they don't have a child
that fits this, and it's broken.
So why is there a baby chair?
That chair suits your hair cut.
Does it? Serious.
You look like Dr Evil.
I think you need that.
$1 million!
Why do you keep trying to play
down my look?
That really takes the edge off.
Yeah? Makes you look
a bit more approachable.
Oh, an extension of the playroom.
THEY LAUGH
They're everywhere, these toys,
aren't they?
Yeah, these are crazy amounts
of stuff in here,
but none of it is making any sense.
There's a lot in these cupboards.
I mean, let's not forget
what's under the stairs.
There's food in there,
and there's...
Oh, crikey.
Oh, my gosh, look!
That has been staring us
in the face all the time.
Oh, it's a little hatch!
How cool would it be to be able
to see through that?
Stop making a mess!
Oh, my gosh.
If you were my mum, I would
definitely keep it closed.
It's just everything is
overspilling everywhere
because I'm assuming,
every room they go into,
whatever they've got to do,
they bring the kids
with them, obviously,
because all the rooms are separated.
And that means that all of the kids'
stuff comes with them.
Oh, that's a good one for you.
Collagen.
STACEY LAUGHS
Look, some of us weren't
blessed with your skin, OK?
I mean, who knew I was 50?
I'm just going to go and down these.
Upstairs, Iwan and Rob check out
the master bedroom.
Oh, my gosh.
We've already got one corner
where things get dumped in.
What's in there? OK, we've got...
Is that baby clothes?
Yeah.
But there's not a lot
of wardrobe space,
if that's all the
wardrobe space in here.
I feel like things have just
been crammed into every possible
area in this room.
Oh, that's a head massager.
Let me relax you.
Oh, that's nice, Rob.
Yeah, don't stop. Down a bit.
Listen, we've got stuff to do.
Me and Dilly check out daughters
Molly and Darcy's room.
Wow, it's full.
So much stuff under here, look.
How are they playing
under here, though,
with all this stuff under her bed?
Look at this Lego, Dilly!
I feel like they would benefit
from some Lego organisation,
and I haven't done any of
that for a while, have I?
That wardrobe.
How does anyone get to it?
No, absolutely.
You'd have to climb
over all this stuff.
Yeah, how do they get to
this wardrobe?
It's just not put in
the right place, Dilly.
No.
When you strip a space
of everything that's in it,
you can really appreciate that space
and get a real sense of how
it could be used
to its best potential.
I move my furniture
around all the time
because sometimes you have to live
with it for a bit to realise,
"Oh, my gosh, this is not working and
I can't even get to that cupboard."
Sometimes we live with it
thinking that's the only option,
and that's when it's a problem.
Next door is two-year-old
Rex's bedroom.
Um...
..I think this is supposed
to be the little boy's room.
It may well have belonged to
one of the girls before,
and it's never quite changed over.
They're definitely not getting into
these drawers, are they?
DILLY GASPS, STACEY CHUCKLES
Oh, there's cookbooks under here.
Cookbooks? Just in case
the two-year-old wants to...
STACEY CHUCKLES
..cook something.
Maybe he loves Jamie Oliver,
the little boy.
But you know what?
With this room, it's a mishmash.
It could be anybody's room.
Yeah.
Outside, there's one more space
to look at.
Oh, garage.
Wow.
You sure you want to come in here?
Oh, my gosh.
What?!
Absolutely piled high.
I mean, come on.
Oh, my gosh, what is this?
There's a whole house worth
of stuff in this one garage.
This is moving boxes, look.
Oh, it is. You're right. I'll
tell you what,
they moved into this house... Yeah.
..four years ago, and these boxes
have still not been unpacked.
Oh, my goodness.
Bet they don't even
know what's in here.
Garages are such
an incredible luxury,
they can be really, really
useful -
but also, they're a danger.
If you do not give a garage
a purpose,
they can be just shoved full
of everything and anything.
And then you'll never get in there,
never use any of the stuff,
and it just becomes
a dumping ground.
Do you know what they've got
in here, as well?
A lot of unopened brand-new stuff.
Someone is seeing bargains, buying
them, and then never using them!
Can we just ban garages in future?
Oh!
As much as it pains me to say,
we are going to have to meticulously
go through that garage,
whether we like it or not.
Look who we've got here.
Hello! Oh, hello!
Hiya. Hey, guys.
Climbing over the toys! Yeah.
Dilly. Hi, nice to meet you.
You all right? Lovely to meet you.
Hi! Hello.
We've been looking around your
house at all your toys. Uh-oh.
We're not just here to sort your
house out,
we're here to quieten the kids, too.
Can you move in?
Yeah! A bit longer?
I don't know, at the
moment, if we'd fit.
All right, all right, yeah.
I met Amy when we were getting
involved in am-dram,
doing production stuff backstage on
a musical called The Full Monty.
The guy who was playing
the professional stripper
in The Full Monty said, "Oh,"
you know, "Amy, I need help.
"Can you oil my...my bum?"
I was like...
"Yeah."
So, you know, helped him
a little bit
and then went to Stu
with my oily hands
and rubbed his cheeks
and that was it.
# You sexy thing... #
That's terrible!
She was really confident
and really, like, "Yeah, yeah."
We definitely have a lot
of banter between us.
There's a lot of laughter.
So am-dram was a huge part
of our life.
We had the best time.
After we got married
we still did some shows.
Now it's a lot harder because
obviously we've got the kids.
DARCY SCREAMS
It moved! It moved!
The couple both work shifts
so that they can take care
of their three young children -
Darcy, Rex and Molly.
Do you think it's going to fly away?
There it goes. Go away!
Can you sign butterfly?
MOLLY REPLIES INDISTINCTLY
Ah.
As Amy and Stu's family
grew, so did the clutter.
Each child brings a whole
new set of stuff.
You always have to move something
to get to something, and then
to get that back,
you've got to move that back
to then get that space free again
and then it just spirals.
Molly's a bit of a messy one,
and Rex is too.
And I'm the cleaner one.
Four years ago, the family moved
to their current home,
but the boxes of possessions
from their old flat
remain in the garage, unopened.
I don't think we realised
just how much stuff we had.
Where was all that stuff?
Where was it in the flat?
We had the issue there.
We brought it with us here.
The whole flat just was in boxes.
They're still in the garage
having not been unpacked.
It's not just unpacked boxes
that are the problem, though.
I do tend to buy
too much stuff for them -
clothes when I'm out shopping.
Everything's costing more money,
so when you see something
that's in the sale, you've got
to get it. Even if it is...
..three or four or five
or six sizes too big.
Stu's just as bad as me.
What is that?
I'll say, "Oh, look, we just
need, like, a loaf of bread
"or some milk." That's it.
And he'll come back with a strimmer.
He's going to hate me. I love it.
So usually we would ask
to try and let go of
50% of what's in the home.
I think it's going to be a bit more
than that. Yeah. In this case,
we'd be looking
at more of a two thirds
rather than half of the house.
Yup, brilliant.
And I know that sounds
pretty scary, but
it would just honestly make such
a difference.
Can't wait. We're looking
forward to it. Are you?
Yeah. Good! We'll all do it
together, yeah?
You're going to help?
Let's do it, guys!
Can you help, Rexy? Woohoo!
All right, come on, Darcy.
Let's get this box filled up.
Tip it all in! Tip it all in! Yeah.
We have just ten hours to help
the Daniels family
pack up their entire house.
Put it all in.
Are you hoping to, like,
put on a production of Stomp?
Oh, yeah, I could do that.
Why have we got so many brooms?
They all perform different jobs.
Stop it.
We're going to have some
broom arguments
in that warehouse, I tell ya.
Yeah!
Who do you feel is most responsible
for the way that it's got to?
Um, I'd love to blame my wife.
No. Um...
It's us. It's us. Of course it's us.
We are in a point
where we're just...
We do what we do. We get to the end
of the day and then we go...
STUART SIGHS DEEPLY
It feels like it's
not really the house that we wanted
and, yeah, it's...
You lose the love for it. Yeah, you
lose the motivation to keep it tidy.
This looks like a special buy.
Do you buy a lot of special buys?
Yeah. They're good, aren't they?
That's the problem -
they're so enticing because
they're good value for money.
Go in for a pint of milk,
come out with a chainsaw.
Baskets of joy.
The baskets of joy... They are.
And look at the joy they've brought.
Oop.
We'll do the master together.
Oh!
How long are your days
when you do shifts?
Uh, 12 hours.
So it's hard to then do housework
and tidying and stuff like that
when you're trying
to look after the three of them,
especially Molly.
You need to keep an eye on her,
you know, all the time.
She has no idea of...
..danger or anything.
And do you think it would help Molly
if there were less toys?
Yeah, especially if she could see,
like, what she wants to play with
or what she wants to do.
After Molly was born,
I remember kind of
looking at her and thinking...
..maybe you have Down syndrome.
We weren't expecting it.
You know, we'd had
scans and we'd had
the tests done and
nothing, everything
came back low risk,
so...
..it was a total shock.
She was still a baby, still needs
love and cuddles and affection, but
they just need a little bit extra,
and that's OK.
We said that everyone brings
something to our team
and Molly had brought an extra
chromosome to our team.
I said
I wasn't going to cry.
One, two, three.
Good job! Good girl! Good job!
She just gives you a reason to love.
Cheeky. Cheeky, Daddy.
Here you go, my man.
Do you think there's any toys
that you don't play with that much
that you could give to someone else?
I love playing with all my toys.
All of them?
Definitely?
Yeah.
I am really nervous about
the warehouse.
Because the children are little,
they love everything,
and everything is exciting.
It's actually really difficult for
them to comprehend letting go of
certain toys.
Hi, Molly!
She's a chef on the phone now.
She's like, "Hey, somebody
bring me my vegetables.
"We're running out."
Oh, I could stay in here all day
and play Lego, but
I'm going to get in trouble
in a minute. So, guys, play.
Play and pack.
Oh, thank you.
There's just two hours left
and still a lot of packing to do.
Oh, my gosh.
There's not enough time.
Just wrap. Come on.
Chop, chop. You are too much.
The perfect height for you, maybe we
should make it your bedroom.
HORN HONKS, GASP
Catch. Oh, gosh. Go, go, go.
It's been a long day, but
the Daniels' house is finally clear.
Yes!
Well done, babe. See you on
the other side, stuff.
And three van-loads of their
possessions
head to the warehouse.
Bye. Whoo-hoo. Bye.
What do you think? Gone!
It's gone, isn't it?
It feels so empty.
I'm...excited, but really nervous.
The Daniels family have two
big days ahead.
Every single one of their
possessions have been laid out
in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse,
where they will need to decide
what to keep and what to let go.
I'm not sure I want to go in now.
Look at this place! It's massive!
Hi. Hi. Hi!
Yay! Yay!
Hi! Gosh! Are you OK?
Oh! Stuart. How are you?
Hey, Rex! You going to say hi?
How are you all feeling?
Absolutely bricking it.
LAUGHTER
What are you most scared about?
Uh...
Just seeing it all, I think and...
Deciding. ..seeing how huge
the warehouse is and going,
"Really? Do we have that much?"
Should we go inside and have a look?
Yes. Yeah! Yeah?
Come on, then. Ready? Come on,
then, let's go. Let's go.
Stuart, you look so nervous. Well...
Are you excited?
Here we go.
AMY GASPS, STUART LAUGHS
My God!
Welcome to your home.
Ah!
No. No, no, no, no, no.
That's not all ours.
No what, Stuart?
There is no way. That is insane.
Look at it all! No!
Out of the hundreds of boxes
unpacked and laid out
from the Daniels' home,
we discovered...
..492 DVDs...
..35 Happy Birthday banners...
..12 unopened chandeliers...
..and 905 baby clothes.
We've never had a house
within a house before.
So I don't know if you can see
that entire back corner... Yeah.
..that is your old flat.
That's amazing. Because we've got
all the kids here,
I think the best place for us to
start will be in the toy section.
See the toys?
Come on, then. I'll take you
to the toy section, Reggie. Yay!
The family need to decide
what to keep,
what to donate,
recycle or sell.
And with over half of
the kids' toys needing to go,
it's not going to be easy.
I want this. I want this.
You want to keep that one? That's
OK. Can I give this one away, then?
I love all of them.
I like it. I love it.
This one was in the cupboard. You
didn't even know that one existed.
DARCY WHINES
OK, keep that one.
Rexy, can you have this one, please?
Because it looks good for you.
Do you like it? No.
As the big sister,
Darcy is making herself in charge
of what Rex kept
and what Molly kept.
So not only am I battling with her,
trying to let go of some of
her toys,
she wants everyone
else's toys, as well.
Try and find me some to go
in this yellow box. Oh.
With some gentle persuasion...
What about this?
Well, do you play with that one?
Not really, much.
Well, then I think we should give
it to somebody else, yeah?
..Darcy is on board, and the unused
toys are finally on their way out.
Whoa! Straight into the donate
pile. Perfect!
You going to make Daddy
some tea now?
No. No?
STACEY CHUCKLES
We don't really need this fella
any more. No?
Yay! Yay, whoo!
Let's go and fill up some more.
Let's keep going!
While the family work on toys...
Oh, my goodness!
Look at this space!
Oh, this feels nice.
..the team are busy finding
solutions on how to best store
the ones they keep.
We love our children,
we love their stuff,
but we don't want to see toys
on every single surface.
What I'm feeling is we've got
these two units over here
and I actually put this all together
and create one giant storage unit.
I'm going to make it look
like it's all fitted in,
put some doors on the front.
So this is all going to be
my toy storage unit? Yes.
While Rob gets measuring up...
Let's get to cutting up
some material!
..upstairs Iwan is tackling
the family bathroom.
We've got an orange-grout
situation going on here.
I've got a trick for it
that hopefully is going to get this
looking lovely and white again.
And we're going to use
some hydrogen peroxide.
So this stuff you can pick up
at the chemist's,
and I'm going to add a little bit
of baking soda to mix up a paste.
We're going to pop this directly
onto the grout.
You want to let this do
the hard work for you,
so leave it for as long
as you like. All right.
Let's give that a rinse.
That is looking so much better.
The grout's come up
really nice and white.
The bathroom is back open
for business!
Brrring, brring! Brrring, brrring!
Is that Molly?
I'm just wondering, how are you
getting on with the clear-out?
SHE BABBLES
Don't fret, yeah? We're a team.
We'll do it together,
and it's all going to be fine.
All right? All right, love you!
SHE BABBLES
Bye!
We are just three hours in,
and there is still a lot
to get through.
So I want to tackle Stu's love
for supermarket special buys,
in the hope of clearing
some much-needed space.
Stu...
Why?
Why is this still in the box?
What a project!
I love it. I love it.
Look at it. It is amazing.
I mean, I can't look at it
because it's still wrapped up
in the box, Stu! There's another -
what's that, a multi-tool?
Yeah, a multi-tool.
Everyone needs a multi-tool.
I can't believe you haven't got
this out. It's been used.
It's just been put away.
Yeah? Let me have a look.
Are you sure?
Look, the warranty is in there.
No, no, no. Come on.
That has barely seen the light
of day. Oh, four times, maybe.
Come on, now!
We need to figure out
what's happening here,
because there are so many
things that you've bought
down the middle aisle and...
Never unpacked.
Because I think sometimes it turns
into almost a hobby.
Would you say that's fair to say?
Finding bargain buys?
I like to have a mooch
in the baskets of joy.
But the joy isn't translating
to help at home, is it?
No. God, no.
By hook or by crook, Stu,
we are going to... Clear it.
Yeah. Let's do it.
Everything's fine, Stu!
That quick, fast,
"Yes, I've got a bargain."
Or, "Yes, I've got something
I've always wanted
"and I'm going to use it
to fix up the house."
Actually, it has the complete
opposite effect and ends up
being detrimental
because it fills up the house
and then you feel like,
"Oh, no, I'm in a worse position
than when I started."
Rex! I want to show you some
dinos I found.
What? What? Yeah.
They are so cool.
Yeah. You be him? Yes.
And I'll be him.
Rahhhh!
HE SQUEALS
STACEY ROARS
My Rex, he loves dinos, too.
Raaaah! Raaaaah!
Along with Stu's special buys,
hidden deep within the garage,
we also found some boxes
of special memories.
This was the one we met on.
That's the one we got together on.
That's the one we got engaged.
That's Idina Menzel.
So your whole get-together was...?
Yeah.
So then at the wedding,
every table was named
after a different musical.
Oh, that's so amazing.
So you just, this is your passion.
Pre-kids! Pre-kids.
You don't do it at all any more?
No. Oh, do you miss it?
Yeah. I think loads of us do it -
we have children and we lose
our previous selves a little bit.
And all the things we used to love
take a back burner, don't they?
Because the kids come first.
It's your priority.
Just seeing them together
in that section,
everything had a huge running theme
of drama, theatre,
all the things that they love.
I feel like I've got to make
it my personal mission
to get the house exactly
where it needs to be,
to get a bit of themselves back.
I'd love to see my name
in print again. Aw!
Performing The Full Monty!
They'd want a refund!
Never! I will be there, front row,
whooping and cheering.
Come on! You can take your hat off!
Let's not!
Now empty of all the unpacked boxes
from their old flat,
the team at the house are deciding
how best to use the extra space
in the garage.
If we get this to be more like
a utility space,
they could actually use it
for practical things
like washing or storing the excess
food that we found under the stairs.
I'm thinking of a unit
that the inside of it rotates.
Ooh! Iwan, I am going to
use you as my example.
So here we have...
Am I the cupboard? Yeah.
You are the spinning section
of my cupboard.
I've always wanted to be
a spinning cupboard!
So open it up. Wine, pasta,
baked beans. Good to go!
Lovely! Toilet roll.
Ooh! I love it.
And Dilly has another
important role for Rob.
We need to see if we can do this.
So I'm going to drill through
and then see how easy it is
to actually get through that.
I'm going to go and watch
from the other side.
All right. You ready, guys?
We're ready.
Oh!
That's the badger! Hello!
How exciting!
I can see through the other side.
I think it'll work.
At the warehouse,
we only have a few more hours
to let go of as much as possible
before we are chucked out.
Imagine how much space this is
going to save in your house.
And while I think I've cracked Stu
on letting go of his over-buying...
Yes!
Yay!
..for Amy, it's a bigger challenge
to let go of the sentimental items.
This is for a baby.
You haven't got a baby, have you?
No, I know. But that's...
That's Molly's chair.
So, like... So we bought that
when Molly was in hospital
after her open heart surgery.
Oh, she had open heart surgery?
Yes. So when she was ten weeks old,
she went into heart failure.
Probably one of the worst
experiences ever.
Her heart just didn't want
to work any more.
It was life or death.
If she didn't have the surgery,
she wasn't going to make it.
There was obviously the chance
that even having the surgery,
she wasn't going to make it.
But without it... You have to go
for the better option.
Yum, yum, yum!
Amy never came home.
She was there for six weeks.
She never did anything else
apart from be Molly's nurse,
and Molly's mum.
She's just amazing.
So then, when she was getting
better, they were like,
"Oh, let's get a chair
so that she can sit up a bit."
She's only just grown out of it.
It's been such a good piece,
hasn't it?
But do I need it?
Does it scare you to let it go?
Yeah, a little bit.
Is that bad?
No, it's not bad at all.
Is it almost like your
comfort blanket, as well?
Yeah, I don't...
It's like, it's really hard,
because I want to get rid of it.
I want to clear.
I want to....
But it's like...
That has a lot of memories
in the hospital
and coming home and everything.
Yeah. It's hard.
It is so hard. No, it is so hard.
My advice - but you do not
have to take it -
she has grown out of it,
so maybe now is the time
to say goodbye.
You just tell me
what you're thinking
and how you feel.
It's just a chair!
It's not just a chair.
It's big for you.
You've done such an amazing job.
This hasn't done that job for you.
You have.
And although it might have
comforted her now and again,
a cuddle would have done the same.
I feel like I've just got to
rip the plaster off
and just do it and just get rid.
Yeah. Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah? We can say goodbye?
Yeah, do it.
Thank you.
It's going to be so worth it.
But you can take it down there.
I don't want to take it!
OK. I'll take it for you.
Yeah, go. That was amazing.
I'm not going to push you any more!
Oof! OK.
I think it's so incredible
that Amy has decided to let it go.
But a part of me feels like
I don't want it to just go off
into the abyss.
So I'm going to sneak it off
and try and find a way of turning
it into something else.
I just can't let it go.
I'm worse than them,
I tell you!
The family have made progress.
But with the sheer volume of stuff
and the emotional decisions
taking time, we're still way
behind where we should be.
I already know Dilly's going
to k*ll me, so we need to blitz it.
I can literally see more birthday
banners than you've got -
you've had birthdays in this house.
Get rid of all of them.
That's what I like to hear!
Empty bottles of wine. Recycle it.
20 miniature toothpastes.
See you later!
Last one of the day!
Aaaaah! Thank you.
I know that when you look back
at it, it really is overwhelming.
There are sections
where we haven't even looked.
We're in trouble!
You can be really proud
of yourselves.
Hopefully. And tell Dilly
I'll be turning my phone off!
It's going to be fine. Tomorrow.
Oh, my goodness.
Has anything actually been done?
I'm going to have to be so hard.
With less than half
of the warehouse tackled,
Dilly has a huge challenge
on her hands.
Oh, Stacey!
I mean, they haven't even
touched this area.
Good morning! Hello. Morning.
Nice to see you guys.
Nice to see you.
Well done for coming back today.
Yeah. Trust me!
We don't have Stacey.
We've got her tougher version
here today.
Remember, the reason we're here
is because we lack space. Yeah.
That is what I want you
to think about today.
First up on Dilly's hit list
are all the possessions
from the old flat that were
clogging up the garage.
Why?
Why did we keep our two-bedroom
flat in the garage
and not touch any of it
for four years?
It's the "we'll do that
next weekend".
And then next weekend is next year.
It's like you own two properties.
So how are we going
to condense that?
Just get rid of the lot. Yay!
No!
Stu!
The thing is, it's a lot
of his books and DVDs.
So if you didn't look at them
when you had them in the flat,
Stu... But we had. yeah, we had them
in the flat and they were accessible
in the flat. If we wanted to look
at them or watch them, we could.
But if you could see them,
would you read them all?
No. No? No.
So then what's the point
in keeping them?
This stuff has been in boxes
for four years
and you have not seen it,
you've not wanted it.
You've not touched it,
you've not needed it.
Do we even listen to CDs?
They can all go.
No! I've got to look through them
and see what's there,
and then I'll pull out
my favourite ones.
This is pre-children, yeah?
You've got the book
upside down, lovey!
Oh, my God!
This happens in a lot of houses.
People go from a flat
into a bigger house.
They suddenly have a garage.
So they've got this storage space
and they panic,
and they run out of time.
So they just put everything
in the garage and think,
"Oh, we'll deal with it later."
But I think they're doing OK.
We have got to blitz through
this flat like there is
no tomorrow!
Right, g*ng. Is that it?
We can evacuate the flat!
Whew!
It wasn't letting go of the stuff,
it was remembering how much
I'd actually, like, wasted on books
or wasted on DVDs.
But you watched the DVDs.
You read the books,
so they weren't a waste.
And also, the money's been spent.
Yes.
And now you value your space
more than you value the money.
Yeah, definitely.
At the house it is nonstop for Rob
as he embarks on the surround
for the new toy storage unit.
I've got two more left to cut
and then I can start
putting everything together.
I have to say,
liking how it looks.
Now just the finishing touches.
Whoo! Hello!
Next door in the hallway,
Iwan has got a handy trick
to get the most
out of our radiators.
I don't just want to clean
the surface of the radiator.
I actually want to clean it down
inside it because all this dust
is getting down in between
all of those vents.
And that's going to prevent
them from working properly
and from heating our rooms properly.
So I'm just going to mix up
a really simple solution,
just a drop of washing up liquid
and some hot water.
And we're going to pour
this through the radiator.
Do not do this
if you've got an electric radiator,
this is just for your gas radiators.
Can you see all that coming out?
Look at that!
Look at this side compared to that!
One big section yet to be touched
is clothes.
And just like with the rest
of the house,
Stu and Amy have put the kids
ahead of themselves.
From all this clothes section,
what do we see?
What are we surrounded by?
Kids' clothes. The kids have a huge
amount of clothes.
You have probably got the least
amount of adult clothes I've ever
seen in a warehouse.
Wow. That's pretty good.
You're not focusing
on yourselves enough.
It's lovely to be able to give
our children all the things
in the world, but sometimes
they just don't need it.
Let's just be ruthless.
Let's have a quick blitz
through these.
Until you see everything
laid out like this...
I knew we had a lot of kids'
clothes,
but I don't think I realised quite
how many that we had.
Go. You sure? Yep.
I don't need it.
Blitz those wardrobes.
That rail's done. That's done.
I'm happy with that rail. We're
happy with that table. Table's done.
We're happy with that table.
And dump. That felt good.
That's pretty insane, isn't it?
I mean, how amazing! That's
pretty good. That's pretty good.
We've done all right.
We're making good progress.
You're making good progress.
Dilly's tough love has paid off,
and there's still time
for one final push
before they have to leave.
We've got 15 minutes left.
Go, go, go, go, go!
Run around, Darcy!
Oh, gosh, OK.
You get the purple bike.
I'll get the pink one. The bikes?
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
Hello, PC Molly.
Are you going to arrest me?
Yeah.
Pile!
Well done!
Well done! Whoo-hoo!
Good girl, Molly!
After two long and challenging days,
the family have successfully managed
to cut their belongings
by more than 70%.
I actually didn't think we'd make
it today, but they reined it in.
They've ended on an absolute high.
I'm really hoping that this is going
to transform their lives.
I mean, it's over!
It's all over! We are done.
Yay. You are done.
Let's have a big family group hug.
Well done. You've done so well.
Should we go and have some dinner?
Yay! Some food?
Sweaty.
Yeah, you are.
Hey! How are you getting on?
Yeah.
All the possessions that the Daniels
wanted to keep have arrived back
at the house.
Morning.
Did you make those?
Yes.
You like them? Oh, my goodness.
This is just ideal.
You want a cup of tea?
Now you're talking.
I'll pass it straight through.
Aw, me is sweet.
Right, this is for you, Dils.
Grumpy.
Yeah, that makes so much sense.
Yeah, it's perfect.
We have 12 hours to get
the house organised
before the family return home.
There is literally no time to waste.
I think we need to just crack on.
Dilly makes a start
with the new toy storage unit.
I'm going to very cleverly organise
them behind each of these doors,
and of course we're going
to label them.
And I'm using these containers
just to consolidate and keep
everything nice and neat.
It's going to be beautiful.
Yeah, that's different.
Now, look at that.
Ripping out your kitchen and putting
a whole new kitchen in is probably
one of the most expensive things
you can do in your house,
so updating it with a bit of paint,
I feel, is just such an amazing way
to give the whole kitchen a brand-new
feel for a fraction of the price
of buying a new kitchen.
When it's a door like this,
we've quite intricate detail,
I would always start with a paint
brush and try and get right
into those grooves.
Once you've got all your tricky
corners done, it is roller time.
Oh, yeah.
I am a bit of a messy painter.
My mum always comes in and goes,
"Why are you wearing nice clothes
"to paint?" One door down. 11 left.
I've asked Rob to fit some new units
in the garage to give Stu and Amy
a laundry area alongside
the rotating cupboard.
I've got a little hack for you.
Trying to pick up these
small nails are a problem.
I've got myself some sticky-back
magnets, placed one on the bottom
of my hammer.
So when I'm ready to pick
up my nail, put it on top.
And there you have it.
Simple.
Right, then. Let's tackle
this greasy, dusty fan.
Pop the front off.
Whoa. I could not see myself
having a Beyonce moment
in front of that.
I mean, imagine. You pop that on,
you'd be absolutely splattered.
All these bits we can pop
straight into the dishwasher.
And then for the main part
of the fan, just make
sure it's unplugged, and
you can just give it a wipe down
with some warm, soapy water.
There we go.
Stunning.
We sold Amy and Stuart's old
wardrobe because it wasn't practical
and it was too small, so we bought
just a plain white, standard
wardrobe, and I am just trying to
make it a little bit more posh.
We just got some standard beading,
then used my scissors to make sure
I got the perfect join
on each of the corners.
Cut at a 45-degree angle.
Like that. Just going to
glue it in place now.
It makes it look so much
more expensive.
Something special, see?
Might as well take it out.
Get the next one.
Dilly's up in the girls' bedroom
with a useful hack to store
all of their pens and pencils.
I have got all of Molly
and Darcy's pens and pencils.
I found these plastic bottles.
I put a bit of tape here
because obviously once we cut
plastic, it can be sharp,
so I've put some tape here
so that little fingers
don't get caught.
And now they're like open
pencil cases.
I mean, you could even use
these for, like,
scrunchies, jewellery,
hair bands, anything.
Lovely. Look at that.
Beautiful.
I have collected up all
of their theatre stubs
from all of the shows they've been
to, and some of them
are really special ones,
like where they got engaged.
Now I'm going to put them
in this display cabinet,
and then I've just made a label
to go over the top of it.
Looks like one of those old-fashioned
movie theatres, doesn't it?
So hopefully now, every time
they pass this, they'll think,
"Oh, we need to get ourselves
down to the theatre."
And then they'll go out,
have an amazing time, come home,
and put their little ticket
in there.
It's their memories.
I love it.
In the garage, Rob is grappling
with his spinning storage unit.
Oh, it's incredible.
Do you want to give it a go?
Does it work? It's heavy.
Yeah, go on, go on.
SHE SCREAMS
LAUGHTER
I'm not that heavy!
He's stressing out
and you two are...
Honestly, honestly,
we've got so much to do.
I know! I don't need to go to
A&E from a heart attack.
Oh, back to it, back to it.
While I try and get the team
back on track,
Amy and Stu are
taking the items they decided
to let go of to be recycled...
Hi, there. I've just come to
drop some bits off for you.
There is some more in the car.
This isn't just it.
..and sold.
Er, probably about a fiver.
Thank you so much. Cheers.
Thank you.
Woo-hoo!
One lady bought 40-something DVDs.
So, amazing. Yeah, really happy.
Really good.
Getting this stuff gone.
Amy's having success at the sale,
but after a speedy start
this morning, the mammoth task
ahead is dawning on us.
We need to get this inside.
I thought it was halfway
there already.
Come on, let's go, go, go, go, go.
How has this happened again?
I don't know.
Oh! It's just really hard when
you're halfway through the day
and you know that
it's all against you.
We're not even in any rooms
at a point where we can be like,
"OK, let's shut that door
and move on to the next."
Every single room
is nowhere near finishing.
We've really pushed Rob to the
limits on what we can achieve.
A whole lot of curves to cut.
A lot of shelves to put in.
Oh, God.
No!
Oh, can I give you some
more of these?
Don't worry about the pile
of cups on the floor.
They'll put themselves away,
won't they?
Leaving the team with a list
of instructions, I've escaped to try
and make something special
for Darcy and Molly.
I'm just going to try and make
this frame a bit more exciting.
Putting a bit of glue down and then
going for it with the beads.
Cracking on with my crafts.
Now it's time to mask up.
Do you reckon that's
safety approved?
Looks like I've cut off a lot
of clown noses.
It's beautiful, don't you think?
The new kitchen is painted
and dried, so Dilly is getting
things in order.
Drawer organisers.
My favourite thing to use.
This drawer was overflowing.
I have lined this drawer,
as you can see,
with lots of different-sized
containers,
so it's all nice and neat together.
And, you know, there's no rule
if things have to stand up
or lie down, but it's all about
the space you've got.
So I'm lying the Tupperware cups
like this, and then I'm going to use
one of these small organisers
or maybe one
of these for their cutlery.
Perfect!
When we were in the warehouse,
Rex was Dino mad,
absolutely loving playing
with all of his dinos,
so I am on a dino mission in here.
I'm putting some dino handles on.
You change the handles on a cupboard
or a drawer and automatically
it becomes that theme.
Now they're dino wardrobes,
and all we've done is put
a handle on.
It's so good, innit?
Rob has finally finished
the rotating unit, leaving Dilly
to artfully arrange the overflow
kitchen items brought back
from the warehouse.
So what I've done is put all
the foods that need to be in a dry,
cool place in this storage unit.
So excess food that the family
we know had before all
under the stairs is now
beautifully organised into here.
And my favourite bit - all the
alcohol stored away,
away from the kids,
so it's all nice and safe.
And now I just need to
put the glasses in.
Beautiful.
We've been reorganising the Daniels'
home for 14 hours straight, but only
have 45 minutes left
to complete the final touches.
Let's go, go, go, go, go. Let's go.
Where is it?
That's where they got engaged,
the Royal Albert Hall.
Did they? Yeah, yeah.
What are we thinking
to that chair here?
I don't know.
Let's put the rug down.
Between the fireplace and the unit.
Where is this lamp going?
So much stuff!
I don't know where to put it.
Oh, my gosh.
Is that it? I think that's it!
Have we done it? We've done it!
Oh! Yes!
The house that just didn't stop.
Oh, watch the rug, Dils.
Seriously... That was a mission.
That was hard.
That wasn't just a mission.
That was Mission: Impossible.
I honestly... At one point, I wanted
to come outside and have a little
cry because I thought,
"We're not going to do it."
But how lovely does it look now?
Just amazing. I can't wait
for them to get home. Yeah.
Oh, I hope they love it.
Come on, girl. Come on. Come on.
Do you know how much
I've had to glue g*n today?
Those beads.
Oh, Stace.
Seven days ago, the Daniels' home
was overflowing with toys
and clutter, making family life
stressful and disorganised.
Welcome home.
Hi. Hello.
Now it's time to see if all
of their hard work letting go
of over half of their
possessions has paid off.
How are you two?
Nervous.
Are you? I am, yeah.
It's been a long week,
so I wait to get back in and...
I can't wait!
Are you ready?
Yes. I think so.
As I'll ever be. Come on, let's go.
Come in to your living room.
Wargh! No...
You can see the floor.
There's so much space.
A week ago, their living room
was completely overrun
with kids' toys.
Now it is clear from clutter, giving
space for the kids to play, as well
as a place for Stuart and Amy
to enjoy time together.
Is this...
Are you sure it's our lounge?
I promise you it's your lounge.
We really wanted to create
just a space where you two
could feel like
there's an adult area.
It doesn't mean the kids won't be
running in and out of here,
but just of a night time where you
too can sit and actually relax
rather than feel like
you're in a nursery.
We were just so excited... That's
beautiful. The Royal Albert Hall!
Where you got engaged.
Oh, my gosh!
I love it.
Thank you.
Shall we go through
a little bit further?
Yeah, yeah. Come on, then.
Lead the way.
To the new... Oh, my gosh.
..living room/dining area.
I love that that's the
most exciting thing.
That is gorgeous. She's been wanting
to open that for four years.
Literally four years, I was like,
"Let's open this up."
And he's like, "No, no..." I've
so wanted to do it for years.
Oh, my goodness.
Do you want to give it a go?
Hold on. Wait for it.
I'll go in the kitchen.
Hey!
Hey, see!
It'll be so much easier
passing dinner out.
You can have your frying
pan on here and go,
"How is it, girls?
How are you, Rex?"
Yeah. That's it.
Amazing.
These are actually all your units.
Yeah.
And they're such good storage.
So we laid them on top of each other
and put a flat pack around them.
So now the space goes all
the way to the ceiling.
And Dilly - I'm not joking -
must have spent, like, seven hours
organising every single toy
that you can imagine into sections.
All of the toys that you
brought back fit in here,
so there's no reason at the end
of the day, you can't...
Why we can't put them all away?
Yeah.
And have your space back. Love it.
I think that was one of the most
important things for us,
is if you're going to have toys, you
have to have somewhere to put them.
Otherwise they do take
over the house.
Shall we keep going? Go for it.
Come in to your new kitchen.
Oh, my word! That's amazing.
I love the colour.
One week ago, the kitchen was
tired with no clear surfaces.
But we've de-cluttered, organised,
and upcycled to create a
multi-functional space
for the whole family.
I love the colour. That is gorgeous.
I'm so glad you said
you loved the colour. Yeah.
The colour's gorgeous.
Doesn't even look like our kitchen.
It looks like a brand-new kitchen,
doesn't it?
Dilly's just gone through
every single cupboard,
and now that you let go of so much in
the warehouse, she could actually
organise it properly.
Yeah. Everything has a place.
Amazing.
I love that, too.
That's amazing. Oh, good.
I made that.
So you two definitely don't get
to spend any time with each other
any more or do anything together,
so hopefully with the house back
in order and running the way
it should be, you might be able
to put some more tickets
in your memory box. I love it.
That is brilliant.
Thank you.
Upstairs...
Your bedroom. Look at that!
Are you joking?
Amy and Stuart's bedroom
was bursting at the seams,
filled with laundry
and kids' clothes with
very little wardrobe space
of their own.
Now it is an adult space that they
can enjoy spending time in,
away from the children.
That's amazing. I love it.
We've got wardrobes! You've got
wardrobes. You had a very small
wardrobe in here and it wasn't
practical. Perfect.
You've got two each, and everything
is hung up properly.
That space looks so much bigger.
It looks huge, yeah.
Still doesn't feel real.
Like, this is our...
It's completely different.
You can't recognise it.
It's incredible. Yeah.
I love it.
No, don't...
I didn't know if you would
recognise this.
I know how much you love the chair
and how much it meant to you,
so we took the fabric and decided
to make a little teddy bear
out of it so that you
and Molly still have a bit
of it in your lives. Oh, my gosh.
Thank you. You're so welcome.
I know was such a tough decision
to make to let it go.
That's so cute.
Thank you.
It was the right decision,
definitely, but it hurt a lot.
But, no, that's much better.
Thank you.
Amazing.
Oh.
Oh, I'm so glad you love it.
Next door...
Come in, come in.
Oh, my gosh!
Oh, I love it.
Molly and Darcy already
had a decorated bedroom
that they loved, but it was cramped
and disorganised.
Now we have reconfigured
the furniture to give them the space
that they need to play together,
as well as spend time on their own.
Don't know if you remember - this
whole wall was taken up by their
wardrobe. Massive wardrobe.
So we've just moved it into that
corner, and slot the bed back.
And now they've got much more floor
space here and you can actually
open the cupboard.
This room feels so much bigger.
Putting furniture in the right place
will make such a difference.
It's great.
Dilly made these, as well.
Dilly got crafty.
She loved it in here, so she cut out
some bottles and made little holders
for all of their pens and pencils.
Dilly has organised the wardrobes.
All labelled up, ready to go.
That is brilliant.
Underneath here,
we know how much Darcy
loves her Lego.
The Lego, definitely. Dilly sorted
it all out into colour, and hopefully
that'll be a little sanctuary
when she wants to go and make
her little Legos
and build something.
She's going to absolutely freak.
She's going to love it so much.
Good. She keeps saying, "I hope
they haven't forgotten my Lego."
I was like, "No, it'll be there.
It'll be there."
All organised and ready
for her to play with.
Should we get them in? Yeah.
Hi, girls! Hello!
Get in, get in. Hi, Molly.
It looks beautiful!
Look at my Lego!
Yes!
The main thing I love
is the picture and the Lego.
Who made it?
I made it for you.
I did.
Across the corridor...
Oh, my word... Rex's room.
Look at that.
Rex's bedroom previously
had no identity.
Now he has a dinosaur-themed bedroom
that's just for him.
Oh, my gosh. He's going to love it.
When I was in the warehouse
with little Rex, he was obsessed
with the dinos,
so I just thought, "Right, let's do
something proper in here and make
"it really dino-themed as much
as we can," so that he knows
this is his space.
Everything in here belongs to Rex.
Yeah. All his clothes,
all his shoes, extra toys.
It's all Rex's stuff.
He's going to just...
Whoa.
Come into your room.
Do you like your new room?
Yes.
What's your best bit?
Is it the bed? Dinosaur.
There is just one final space
I want to show them.
Come into your garage.
No way.
Really?
Really!
A garage that was once packed
to the brim with unpacked boxes
and special buys
is now an organised
and functional space
to do laundry and easily access
their overflow kitchen items.
No more under-stairs pantry.
Oh, my gosh.
How have you managed this?
I don't know.
I can honestly say
it's been a labour of love.
Yeah, I bet. It feels massive.
Oh, I love this.
Thank goodness that you went
through and let go of so much
of that stuff because it gave us
the opportunity to create a real
space in here.
Rob put in all of these cupboards
so that you've got baking overflow
and cleaning overflow under here.
What's in there? This is a corner
cupboard, but with a twist.
And when I say with a twist,
I mean literally with a twist,
because the amazing Rob
made rotating storage.
The piece de resistance!
That is my section. Da-da!
Love it.
You totally deserve to be able
to get the kids to bed,
come in your garage/wine cellar now,
pick out a bottle, and relax.
That is amazing.
As long as I don't come back here
in three months' time and see
all your middle-aisle purchases
on the floor.
She sold them all at
the car boot this morning. Yeah!
SCREAMING
Hello!
Do you like your new house?
Yeah. I love it!
Yeah?
Do you love it? I love it!
Good.
It's incredible
what you guys have done.
Thank you so much.
The house that was a nursery is now
an adult space with children's
toys in it, and somewhere to play.
I actually heard Stuart say,
"Now we might actually
be able to put some
"more stubs in that ticket box."
And I was like, "Yes!"
I just can't believe we
pulled it off, and they're so happy.
It is just the best feeling
in the world.
I love doing this show so much.
CHEERING
Bring it in, bring it in.
Big hugs. Yay!
We did it!
Darcy and Molly love their new room.
They're up there a lot more
than they were before.
We showed Molly the bear
that was made from the chair
that she used to have,
and she was cuddling it for ages.
I said, "Well, do you want
to take it to bed?"
"Yeah." So she went upstairs to bed,
so that was really nice,
and I love that. Rex absolutely
adores his room. Quick!
It's his, and it's not pink.
Has the process changed your
attitude to middle-aisle
special buys? No.
LAUGHTER
I still browse a bargain.
Just don't buy them.
I love the hatch.
It's so much easier.
You were right about
the hatch, dear.
SHE GASPS
You've got that on record.
