0:00:02 > 0:00:06Hello and welcome to the programme that helps people find unwanted collectibles
0:00:06 > 0:00:10that they can take to auction, to raise money for a favourite project or a treat.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15It's always fun to meet someone who just can't resist going into junk shops or to car boot sales,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18in the hope of finding a real bargain.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Is that £3 purchase going to turn into a £300 profit?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Find out on Cash in the Attic.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Coming up on Cash in the Attic... Our expert plays the joker
0:00:48 > 0:00:52when he hears the purchase price of a mahogany card table...
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Whoa! A massive £18!
0:00:55 > 0:00:56How long ago?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58About 25 years ago.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01We discover something with royal connections...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03See what it says round there?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06"Honi soit qui mal y pense".
0:01:06 > 0:01:10'And that's the motto of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.'
0:01:13 > 0:01:17'When it comes to auction James foresees a good sale for a Victorian telescope.'
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I'm feeling bullish? I think we're going to guarantee you a profit.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Find out if he's right, when the hammer falls.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Today, I'm in Buckinghamshire and I'm about to meet Angela
0:01:29 > 0:01:31and her daughter, Nina, who are looking forward
0:01:31 > 0:01:34to putting their glad rags on, for a very special outing.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41Angela Hougham has collected all sorts of things for years, even chickens,
0:01:41 > 0:01:45but after a house renovation, she's decided that she needs a good clear out.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48She was born in Kenya,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51but her family immigrated to the UK when she was 12.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56She's been married to Bob for the past 17 years and they have one daughter, Nina.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Angela and Bob are both now retired, but do voluntary work for local charities,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05regularly organising dinners at their home, to raise funds.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08They bought a bungalow eight years ago and have spent the last four
0:02:08 > 0:02:12having it converted into a five bedroom house with a large garden.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Helping Angela today is daughter, Nina.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23James Rylands is with me and he started his career at Sotheby's,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27so he's just the man we need to get our search underway.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Hi Nina, Angela.- Hi!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35These chickens are so cute. Have you named them all?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Yes, they've all got names.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- You can identify all of them?- Yes.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- I take it none of them are going to end up on the lunch table?- No.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44So, why have you called in Cash in the Attic?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Well, this was a bungalow and we've made it into a house.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I can't believe that. It looks so amazing!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Yes, we had to work quite hard at it.- I bet you did.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56And we have a lot of things that we don't want to keep.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59We've started decorating and we don't really need these things.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Are you changing the style of the house?- We're going to make it more modern.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Where did all of this stuff come from?
0:03:05 > 0:03:12Various places. Auctions and car boot sales and some was already in the family.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18Are you an inveterate collector, who can't resist going into antique shops and car boot sales?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I can't. I come home every Saturday morning with lots and lots of things.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25How much money do you think we're going to raise from all that we take to auction?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I'd like to raise about £700.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- And what are you going to spend it on?- Nina's going to be 16 soon and I'd like to surprise her.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Nina, how do you feel about that? A special surprise for your birthday?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I'm quite scared. I don't know what she's going to do!
0:03:43 > 0:03:48I tell you what, James Rylands has come with me and I know he can't wait to get started on finding
0:03:48 > 0:03:53what you've bought at all those car boots and antique shops that we can take to auction.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Shall we go and find him?- Yes.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Angela's impressive house conversion has a clean, modern feel,
0:04:00 > 0:04:05so I can understand why she wouldn't want to keep too many antiques about the place.
0:04:05 > 0:04:12James is in the lounge and he's already found something that might be absolutely right for the auction.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Hi, James.- Hello, Angelas. - Meet the other Angela.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23Nice to see you. Well, you've found me discovering the secrets of this wonderful table of yours.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Isn't it delightful?- It is nice. - What is it?- Games table, I believe.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30You're absolutely right, that's exactly what it is.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Did you buy it to play games?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35No, no, I just bought it as an occasional table.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Where did you get this, Angela? - I bought this in a junk shop.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- On one of your forays?- Yes. - You just- can't resist, can you? I just can't.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Can you remember what you gave for it?- Yes, £18.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Ooh, a massive £18!- How long ago?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52About 25 years ago.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well, that was more than a week's pocket money, then.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01It is for cards. It's made around 1910 and there's some quality about it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04It's got some nice work down here, actually.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09It has. All this nice blind fret and then fretwork has all been done by hand.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15It's made of mahogany - expensive wood - and, actually, there's an interesting pointer here,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19because if you look at the top there and you look at the colour.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25Now, look at the inside. That tells you what sunlight does to mahogany.
0:05:25 > 0:05:32So, you can imagine that nice Edwardian lady sitting there in her crinoline skirt playing her cards.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36But, the fact of the matter is, it also doubles up as an occasional table.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40So, just as you've got it. It folds up nicely, you put a lamp on it.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Bearing in mind you paid £18 for it, have we got a profit in this?
0:05:43 > 0:05:49- We'll put £60 to £100 on it. So, you've tripled your money.- Yes.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54- There are a lot of things 25 years ago where you wouldn't have. Are you happy with that?- Definitely.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Well, let's hope we can do some tripling up
0:05:57 > 0:06:00on some other of the items we find today.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05The Hougham home has so many bedrooms and reception rooms to explore
0:06:05 > 0:06:08that we have to divide our efforts, to be sure that nothing is missed.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Nina heads upstairs, to make a start in her parents' bedroom,
0:06:15 > 0:06:21while James makes a careful inspection of what appears to be some delftware in the kitchen.
0:06:21 > 0:06:28But everyone seems to have missed this attractive glazed cabinet, which Angela paid £200 for.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32James tells me it's made of oak and while furniture like this
0:06:32 > 0:06:35was once the height of fashion, sadly, that's no longer the case.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37He gives it a £50 to £80 estimate.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I wonder if Nina's had any luck upstairs?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Ah, Nina, how are you getting on? - I'm all right, thanks. - What have you found?
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- I like this, where did it come from? - My dad bought it about 25 years ago.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Do you like it?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- It's a bit old fashioned for me. - It's probably 100 years old...
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Really?- ..110 years old.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06Interestingly it's made by a very interesting firm, Comitti of London,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10and they go back quite a long way, because, originally, it was started
0:07:10 > 0:07:15by an Italian, Onorato Comitti, and in the 18th and 19th centuries,
0:07:15 > 0:07:21so over 200 years ago, there was a wonderful tradition of Italian craftsmen coming over to England
0:07:21 > 0:07:27and making, primarily, barometers, which is what this guy did, and then they moved into clocks, as well.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33This one, probably made 1900-1910, it's in a nice mahogany case,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37we've got this nice inlay, this stringing, as we call it, here
0:07:37 > 0:07:42and then, funnily enough, there's no winding hole on the front, which quite often you'll find.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47That is because there's a French carriage clock movement inside,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50which is what he used to originally make it.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54He got parts from all over the place and then put his name on the dial - Comitti of London.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Value would be round about £60 to £80,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00something like that. That sound all right?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- It's good, but- I- wouldn't buy it.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08Well, you may not like it, Nina, but someone might come auction day.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- £50... for it, £40... for it. - Come on.- 42. 42. 45.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Find out later if it reaches James's estimate.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21There's so much to see in the Hougham home.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Inspired by her first find, Nina delves into the rafters
0:08:26 > 0:08:32alongside her parents' room and she pulls out a box that needs some investigation.
0:08:32 > 0:08:39James is downstairs now, where the lounge cabinet offers a small Victorian brass pocket telescope.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Angela bought this at a boot sale, for £50, a few years ago.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Unfortunately, we won't be magnifying her investment,
0:08:47 > 0:08:52as it stands to make only £20 to £30 now.
0:08:52 > 0:08:59But, adding that to James's estimate so far, we stand to raise around £190 at auction.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01So, we are not doing badly.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Angela, when I'm inside the house, it is extraordinary to think this was a bungalow.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09You've completely rebuilt the whole thing, haven't you?
0:09:09 > 0:09:16Oh, yes, when we came here eight years ago it was in a dreadful state and we've had to almost rebuild it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19You've done a wonderful job on it, I have to say.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21But you weren't born here. You were born in Kenya?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yes, I was born in Kenya, many years ago.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- And you left when you were how old? - 12.- Was that old enough
0:09:28 > 0:09:31to realise what you were leaving behind. Do you miss it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Not really, no, because I think,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38at that age, I was, sort of, really looking forward to going ahead
0:09:38 > 0:09:43and going to a new country and a new place. You know, it didn't really matter.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48When you got here to Britain, what were your ambitions as a young woman? What did you achieve?
0:09:48 > 0:09:55I wanted to be able to do everything, so I could fit in any role that there was need for.
0:09:55 > 0:10:02I had two hairdressing salons, then I gave up when I got married.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07I met Bob in a social group about 17 years ago.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12You also like cooking, don't you? You've managed to use the cooking to help raise money for charity.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Well, I get people to come to my dinner and I call it, my charity dinner.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21When they come I then say to them, "It's going to be like a restaurant
0:10:21 > 0:10:26"and you just pay me what you think it's worth." I'm able to collect money that way.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29And you raised quite a lot for the tsunami?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Yes, we raised over £3,500.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Well, on this occasion, we're going to be raising money for you,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38so you can do a very special birthday treat for Nina.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- So, maybe we should drink up and go and find James.- Yes!
0:10:45 > 0:10:50The birthday girl is oblivious to our chat, as she's so absorbed in her antiques hunt.
0:10:50 > 0:10:56James, meanwhile, has turned his attention to a storage cupboard in the hall.
0:10:59 > 0:11:05Nina's rummage pays off, when she finds these silver mirrors and hairbrushes in a spare room.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08They belonged to her grandmother, Freda, and were assayed
0:11:08 > 0:11:12in Birmingham in the late 1930s. James prices them
0:11:12 > 0:11:13at £50 to £80.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Angela?- Yes, James.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27Look what I found lurking in your cupboard here - this amazing collection of scent bottles.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Where do they all come from?- Oh, various places, car boot sales,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34jumble sales and some I've bought abroad.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- This particular one came from a charity place. - You got this at a charity shop?
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Well, you did very well, because it's a nice Victorian scent bottle, in cut glass,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47with this silver top and, basically, as you take the silver top off,
0:11:47 > 0:11:52you've got this little stopper there to actually take off, as well.
0:11:52 > 0:11:59What we tend to forget is that people tended to be a lot smellier in the old days, than we are now,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01before the invention of the deodorant.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06So, perfume was very important, because it masked all those horrible bodily smells.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Perfume has actually been with us for thousands of years.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12The ancient Persians had it, the Egyptians had it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:19In fact, the word perfume comes from the Latin "per fuma", which means, literally, through the smoke.
0:12:19 > 0:12:25I guess it's supposed to describe that wonderful aura that girls have when they wear perfume.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Now, which is your favourite out of all these?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29That one.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Why is that?- I think it's so unusual.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35It's almost in the form of what we'd call a cornucopia.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38In other words, full of, a cornucopia of plenty.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43That is an unusual one and also, I like the fact that
0:12:43 > 0:12:46it's heavily-cut glass. It's really, really good quality.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48So, no regrets about seeing any of them go?
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Oh, no, Not at all, I am trying to minimalise, so it will be lovely for it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57You've got quite a big collection here, so I would think probably,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59conservatively, we'll probably put
0:12:59 > 0:13:03£60 to £100 on the lot and that'll really get the bidders going.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- How does that sound?- Sounds lovely. - You better show me more.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13Angela's roomy house is a joy to explore and I don't even feel in need of a tea break yet,
0:13:13 > 0:13:18'although this one would be far too small.'
0:13:18 > 0:13:24Our host has been exploring a bookcase and pulled out an old cloth-bound book
0:13:24 > 0:13:27about Robin Hood, the famous outlaw of Sherwood Forest.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Angela bought this in a box of books for £2, at a garage sale.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34This time, there's a good return on her investment,
0:13:34 > 0:13:39because James values it at £10 to £15.
0:13:39 > 0:13:46We're all making steady progress so it's time to check the garage, to make sure nothing's forgotten.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52'In the office, I've come across something that I really want to show the others.'
0:13:53 > 0:13:54James, Nina.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- I certainly didn't expect to find this.- What?!
0:14:00 > 0:14:07Horse brass and, blimey, a shoebox full of very, very heavy
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- brass tracers. - Those are very heavy.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Wow, let's put those down. Where did these come from, do you know?
0:14:12 > 0:14:19My dad's dad was the chauffeur to Lord Hambleden.
0:14:19 > 0:14:25About 60 years ago, they cleaned out all the stables
0:14:25 > 0:14:31and because this is obviously Lord Hambleden's coat of arms, they decided to take them home with them.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Obviously, Lord Hambleden's coat of arms.- Yes.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36See what it says round there?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40"Honi soit qui mal y pense".
0:14:40 > 0:14:44'Which translates as "Evil to he who thinks evil",
0:14:44 > 0:14:47'the motto of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53'Membership is limited to the Sovereign, the Prince of Wales and a select group of 24 others.'
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Well, it gets more and more interesting.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Now, much as I think that Lord Hambleden was a very, very important person, this is even more important,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03because this is actually a Royal coat of arms.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08There in the middle, we've actually got VR, which is Victoria Regina.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10So, that's Queen Victoria's cipher.
0:15:11 > 0:15:19What that means is that, 60 years ago, not long after cars came in, they were obviously having a bit of
0:15:19 > 0:15:23a clear out and thought, "We'll get rid of all of the old tack."
0:15:23 > 0:15:26This is almost certainly from a Royal carriage.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28So, what do you think about that?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30That is quite amazing, actually.
0:15:30 > 0:15:37Royal connections are worth money, but I think we've just got to put £30 to £50 on them and let them run.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- How does that sound?- Just as they did originally, on the horses!
0:15:41 > 0:15:43What an incredible find, there.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I think Nina's a little lost for words.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Apparently, she's not usually so stuck for something to say.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53She has ambitions to be on the big screen.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00So, Angela you've got a budding actress in the family. Is there any theatrical blood in the family?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- No, not at all.- So, where did this come from, do you think?
0:16:04 > 0:16:10When Nina was a little kid, she was always performing and she was quite outgoing and we thought
0:16:10 > 0:16:12she had a bit of a talent, there.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15So, how are you helping her to achieve this ambition?
0:16:15 > 0:16:22Well, we registered her with one of the dance schools, performing schools, and she's still with them.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24What sort of things have you done so far?
0:16:24 > 0:16:29I was on a TV programme about three or four years ago, called Ultimate Force,
0:16:29 > 0:16:36and I was a kidnap victim in that, and all these army people, they came and tried to save us.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- And you were saved, I take it?- Yes.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43It must be really tough, though, Angela, on you and your husband,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45as parents, when she gets called to an audition?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Sometimes yes, you have to drop everything and just take her there,
0:16:49 > 0:16:54but it's not always myself who goes, sometimes my husband takes her,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57because you're waiting in the wings, worrying.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Is it much more daunting for you, Nina?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03No, I find it actually so exciting. As soon as I come home, Mum's like,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07"Oh, you've got an audition." I actually scream the place down.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12This special thing that you're organising for the 16th birthday.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Close up her ears, so she doesn't know what it is, but it is going to be something very special?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19It is going to be special, yes. She's going to be 16,
0:17:19 > 0:17:23so I'm going to actually give her a treat which will help her, hopefully.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Oh, we won't say anything more!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- That sounds really good, doesn't it? - Yes.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I know that James is still looking around the house for things we can
0:17:33 > 0:17:38take to auction to make that £700, so maybe we should go and join him and see what else he's found.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44What's he doing? Well, he's pondering the contents of this corner cupboard.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Or maybe it's the cupboard itself that he likes the look of.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Angela is wondering about some ornaments on her mantelpiece
0:17:51 > 0:17:55and, upstairs, I've spotted these two cigarette cases.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Angela bought them at a car boot sale and says
0:17:57 > 0:17:59she didn't pay very much for them,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but one is silver and James has valued the lot at £20 to £40.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08And it looks like our expert's rummage in the lounge has paid off.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Hi, Angela.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Hello, I see you've found one of my paintings.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I have, Edwin Earp, very nice.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- And I've got another one like this. - You've got a pair?- Yes.- Fantastic.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Oh, I see, yes, over there. Where did they come from, Angela?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24An art gallery, not far from here.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30Well, he's moderately well known, Edwin Earp, and he was actually an artist born down in Brighton,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32on the South Coast, in the mid-19th century.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37Looking at this, with these quite big mountains and stuff,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40that is definitely not a scene from the South of England.
0:18:40 > 0:18:48Late Victorian times was a time when a lot of English were going on tours around Europe and views like this,
0:18:48 > 0:18:54if you like, idealise the sort of things they would have seen, because it's a very romantic view, isn't it?
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- Yes.- It is actually a water colour and one of the problems with water colours is that if they've had direct
0:18:59 > 0:19:04sunlight on them, the colour, over a period of time, begins to fade.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Now, with these ones, it's just begun to go.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11It's still OK, but it's not quite as fresh as when it was done.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15You bought them, Angela. What did you like about them when you bought them?
0:19:15 > 0:19:21I quite liked them, because I was looking for some paintings, but I had been on an open evening,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23where we were all having a good old drink
0:19:23 > 0:19:26and I think I bought these when I'd had one too many!
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- What did you pay for them? Can you remember?- £100, for the pair.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Credit to your eye. That's all right.
0:19:32 > 0:19:39Conservatively, we'd certainly put £150-£250 on the pair. How does that sound?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40That sounds really good.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45That's a terrific addition to our haul, which means we should
0:19:45 > 0:19:48be in pretty good shape to help pay for Nina's birthday surprise.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Angela is spurred on by that result and has gone up to the attic.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56'I can't resist a peek up there myself.'
0:19:56 > 0:20:01The next item to go towards our auction haul is something that our host has unearthed.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05It's a canteen of silver-plated cutlery, in a mahogany case.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Made in the 1930s, it comes from Bob's family, but hasn't been used for years.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14It's a good find, earning a £30 to £60 estimate from James.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18And my investigation in the attic WAS fruitful.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22James, Angela, Nina,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24look what I found up in the attic.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27James, there's a wonderfully clear hallmark on that,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30you should take a look, and a great one here, too.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Silver candlesticks. Where did you get these, Angela?- A car boot sale.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36What?! In a car boot sale?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Like this, already made into lamps?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Yes, they were in a junk box. - And how much did you pay for them?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45£1.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Do you have any idea how old this is? - No.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- Well, it's hallmarked, London, 1763.- Wow.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57So, that is getting on for 250 years old.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59That would have been part of a pair of candlesticks.
0:20:59 > 0:21:06Basically, very neo-classical, with this Corinthian column,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10and would have sat and graced any dining table in the country.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- This one is a lot younger, isn't it? - It's Birmingham, 1920-something.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19So, although that has value, this is the real, real find.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24And I guess someone's converted it to a lamp and everyone thought it must be electric,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26it must be relatively new.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Is that going to make much difference to its value,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- the fact that someone's converted it to electricity? - No, nothing's been drilled.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38You take that wooden base off, take the fitting out of that. You've still got the sconce,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- the drip tray. - They get lost, don't they?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42They get lost, so you've got everything.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44What you haven't got is the pair.
0:21:44 > 0:21:50To have 18th century...you imagine Robert Adam, neo-classical, very much the influence on this.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55It is in good condition. I can't see any damage on it. So, what a find.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59So, what sort of profit is she likely to make on her £1?
0:21:59 > 0:22:05I think an estimate between £200 and £400 together would be conservative.
0:22:05 > 0:22:11And you may have thought they weren't worth a light, but let me tell you, they are.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Absolutely fantastic.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16What is nice that if we add that £200 now to the lowest estimate
0:22:16 > 0:22:19that James has given you on everything else he's seen...
0:22:19 > 0:22:23I know you want to raise £700 for something special for Nina's 16th birthday
0:22:23 > 0:22:32we should be able to make £740, but, who knows, as James says, that could be worth even more than £200.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35So, keep you fingers crossed for the day of the auction.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You have got an eye for a bargain, haven't you?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'm jealous, I'm taking notes here!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I'll have to come with you.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I think that Angela is something of an expert-in-the-making!
0:22:46 > 0:22:51I can't wait to see how all her items do when she takes them to the sale room.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Remember the scent bottles she's collected over the years?
0:22:55 > 0:23:01Well, there's a good collection that should make between £60 and £100.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Plus that Edwardian mahogany card table.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07That should bring in another £60 to £100.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Finally, the collection of horse tack
0:23:09 > 0:23:11showing Queen Victoria's emblem.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15James gave it a conservative £30 to £50 estimate,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19but, with its Royal connection, who knows what it will make on the day?
0:23:22 > 0:23:28Still to come on Cash In The Attic, will Robin Hood come riding through the glen for us?
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I'm not sure whether we did rob from the rich to give to the poor,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34but it was a good try!
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- We feel the angst of the bidder. - She can't resist it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- And the excitement of the seller. - You out?
0:23:41 > 0:23:46- But who'll be the happiest when the final hammer falls?- Are we all done?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Well, it's just been a couple of weeks since we were with Angela
0:23:53 > 0:23:56and her daughter Nina at their home in Berkshire.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Angela's goal is £700
0:23:57 > 0:24:01so that she can have a very special birthday treat
0:24:01 > 0:24:03for her daughter Nina when she's 16.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06So we've brought all her items here today to sell
0:24:06 > 0:24:08at the Chiswick auction rooms in west London,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11and we're just waiting now for the bidders to arrive
0:24:11 > 0:24:15and hopefully, they'll buy their things when they go under the hammer.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Today, we're at a sale of fine antiques and works of art.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I hope that's good news for Angela and her items,
0:24:23 > 0:24:30in particular, the Edwin Earp watercolours and, of course, the Georgian silver candlestick.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37They really do look rather splendid here on all this lovely furniture, don't they, James?
0:24:37 > 0:24:41I'm having one last nostalgic look at this wonderful Georgian silver candlestick.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46- Yes, because that really does have age and quality to it.- Absolutely.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Whereas this one, having taken a closer look at it, always was a silver lamp.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Absolutely and quite rightly, the auction house have chopped off the wires.
0:24:54 > 0:25:01They are not guaranteeing it's safe as an electrical fitting. You've got to source out the electrics yourself.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Completely. This one, we decided, was round about what period?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08I think that's 1930s. It's actually not a particularly old one.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13It's a wonderful sale here today and I think the people here will recognise the quality in that piece.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Hope so.
0:25:15 > 0:25:22The bidders have now started to arrive and there seems to be a fair amount of interest in our items.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26But there's one piece they can't look at just now.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31Hello Angela and Nina, taking a last look at your royal connections there!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33You didn't know what that was, did you?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- No, not at all.- But we think that might do quite well today?
0:25:36 > 0:25:41I think so, with that royal connection and all the carriage fittings.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- £30 to £50, it's got to do better than that.- It should do.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46£700 is our target. Angela, have you told Nina yet
0:25:46 > 0:25:49what you're going to do for her 16th birthday?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Yes.- So, she knows already.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- I have told her. - So, what are you going to do?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58We're going to actually do a makeover for her, for her bedroom.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Fantastic! Have you worked out what you want to do in the bedroom?
0:26:01 > 0:26:07- Yeah.- What's it going to be? - We're going to wallpaper a wall and change my bed and change everything.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13- Fantastic, so that £700 target we've got today, we've got to make, haven't we?- Oh, yes.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Shall we go and take our places? Let battle commence!
0:26:19 > 0:26:24Angela has a dozen interesting offerings here, so let's hope they stand out amongst the competition.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30The first of her lots to come up is a lovely old book
0:26:30 > 0:26:32with a price tag of...
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Angela, tell me about this book,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40The Historical Anecdotes of the Life of Robin Hood.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It came from a garage sale near my house.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45We were going out for the afternoon to get some plants
0:26:45 > 0:26:46and I saw this sign,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48and I said to my husband, "Let's go and have a look,"
0:26:48 > 0:26:50and I had a box full of books for two pounds.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- You can't resist it, can you? - No, I can't.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57£10, £10 for it? £5 for it? Thank you, a bid at 5.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59INAUDIBLE
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Bidder at £5. Give me 6 for it?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04£5, a starting bid of £5. Are we done? £5, you bidding 6?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- £5 and going... - GAVEL BANGS
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I'm not sure whether we did rob from the rich to pay the poor,
0:27:11 > 0:27:12but it was a good try!
0:27:12 > 0:27:14It was a profit!
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And it's a start,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19but not much will change in Nina's bedroom
0:27:19 > 0:27:21unless we make more than a fiver.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Next up is a lot that's fit for a queen.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28It's the collection of horse tack that once adorned the horses
0:27:28 > 0:27:32of Victoria Regina's Knights and Ladies of the Garter.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Perhaps even the Queen herself.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41You're going to have people interested in horses and interested in royalty here.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Well, absolutely. I think Lord Hambleden is obviously very posh,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49but not as posh as royalty, and that's what we're hoping for
0:27:49 > 0:27:52is to get a paltry £30 to £50.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55With that royal connection and the fantastic quality
0:27:55 > 0:27:59on those tracers, I hope it canters away.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01£40. £20.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Oh, no.- £10.- No.- My goodness!
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Thank you, a bid at 10.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10A bid at 10, looking for 12, who'll give me 12? 15.
0:28:10 > 0:28:1215? 15. 18? 18. 20?
0:28:12 > 0:28:1422? 22.
0:28:14 > 0:28:2025. At £25... 28? At £25...we're done.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Last time £25, all done. £25...
0:28:24 > 0:28:27£25, you look disappointed.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32- I thought it would be more than that.- It didn't run away.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36That WAS a little disheartening though,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39especially given its royal connections.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Still, it did almost make
0:28:40 > 0:28:42James's lowest estimate.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Next it's the turn of the small Victorian brass telescope.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48The estimate here is...
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Where did this come from?
0:28:51 > 0:28:56- A car-boot sale.- Surprise me, tell me what you paid for it?
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- I paid about 50p for it.- Oh, well, even though it's got a bit of damage,
0:29:00 > 0:29:04I'm feeling bullish - I think we're going to guarantee a profit on this.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Here we go!
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Victorian brass telescope. £20...
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Take a bid at £20... £20... 22...
0:29:12 > 0:29:1522... 25...
0:29:17 > 0:29:2030... 32? 30, is that all?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22At £30,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26at £30, all done,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28£30, it goes out the door...
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- Wonderful.- Not bad. - £30 was the top of the estimate. - All right, top of the estimate.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35So, that was right on the nose, James.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37And a good profit.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Angela certainly seems to have a talent for spotting classy items,
0:29:41 > 0:29:46and her next lot is something else she picked up at a car-boot sale.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49The two cigarette cases, now with a price tag of...
0:29:53 > 0:29:59I think its surprising that, since smoking became one of those things you don't do in public any more,
0:29:59 > 0:30:04how many times we find wonderful cigarette cases tucked away in drawers in people's homes.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08People do use them for all sorts of things and, of course, these do have a hallmark on them.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13They're such good quality that people just like to have them on display.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16£20 apiece doesn't sound a lot to me.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20£20, please, a bid at £20... 22...
0:30:20 > 0:30:2825... 28... 30... 32... 35... 38...
0:30:28 > 0:30:3140... 42... 45... £42...
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Come on, my son.
0:30:33 > 0:30:3642... £42... All finished at £42,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39are we done? All finished at £42...
0:30:39 > 0:30:42£42, £2 over your highest estimate, James.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- So they went really well.- Yeah.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47And another great result.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50You know, Angela could have found her forte here.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55The next item is the Comitti clock that is up for £60 to £80.
0:30:55 > 0:31:00It was bought about 20 years ago, not by Angela, but her husband, Bob.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Did he like it?- I think he did, yeah.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06His he going to be happy to see it go?
0:31:06 > 0:31:09I don't know about him, but I am.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- Why's that?- I just really want modern items in the house.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18You're ganging up against your poor old dad and making him sell it!
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Maybe.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21£50 for it?
0:31:21 > 0:31:25£40 for it? Bid at 40...
0:31:25 > 0:31:2742... 45... 48...
0:31:27 > 0:31:2950...
0:31:29 > 0:31:31That was 50 already.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33£50 now, 55... 60?
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Back in at 55...
0:31:35 > 0:31:38£55, and going. 55, your bid.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- £55.- It wasn't bad.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45You two will be pleased it's gone, your new look.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Just break the news to him gently.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Well, Bob may not have the golden touch of his wife,
0:31:51 > 0:31:56but still, his clock was only £5 beneath James's lowest estimate.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Angela, something coming up that you have not bought
0:31:59 > 0:32:02at a car-boot sale, and that's the canteen of silver-plated cutlery.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Remind where it did come from.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06It was my husband's mother's.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09It was their family cutlery, their best.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12£30 to £60 about right, James?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I think it is about right, if you had for eight, or ten, or 12,
0:32:15 > 0:32:18you'd be in hundreds and hundreds of pounds.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21It's the fact that if you're giving a dinner party,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25most people want more than six people there - it's as simple as that.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28£30, start me. Thank you, £30. 32...
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- They're already at £40.- That's good. - 40 over there...
0:32:32 > 0:32:3542... 45... 48... 50...
0:32:35 > 0:32:39At 48, then, 50...
0:32:39 > 0:32:4555... 60... 65... At £60, all done, your bid and gone, £60.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47£60, top of the estimate!
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- Top of the morning to you. - That's a good result, isn't it?- Yes.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55There were quite a few bidders interested in that set
0:32:55 > 0:32:58which pushed its price to the top.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Most of Angela's items have done really well today
0:33:01 > 0:33:05and I think Angela and Nina are keen to know what the total is so far.
0:33:05 > 0:33:12Halfway point, £700 is your total, so we'd be looking to make about £350 at this stage.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17We're not quite there yet, but we do have some interesting things to come in the second half.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19What's very interesting is, Angela,
0:33:19 > 0:33:22you've been really cool as a cucumber watching everything go through,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24and, Nina, you have been going...
0:33:24 > 0:33:26SHE SQUEAKS
0:33:26 > 0:33:31- ..and almost levitating, are you enjoying yourself?- Oh, definitely.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- So far, we've made £217.- Wow.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38But we've sold everything and we've got some great things to come.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43If you have a special project in mind and need to raise a little money for it at auction,
0:33:43 > 0:33:47it is worth bearing in mind that there are charges to be paid,
0:33:47 > 0:33:53such as commission and they do vary from one sale room to another, so it is a good idea to check in advance.
0:33:53 > 0:34:00Angela and Nina have six more items left to sell, including the stunning Georgian silver candlestick.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05Next up is the oak-glazed display cabinet.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07The price tag in the catalogue here is...
0:34:09 > 0:34:13There's a large piece of furniture coming up. It must have left a hole.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18Yes, there is a hole, but it's quite nice because I can now put something else more suitable.
0:34:18 > 0:34:23£50 for it. £30 for it. Take 30... 32...
0:34:23 > 0:34:2635... 38... 40... 42... 45...
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Working its way up to what we really wanted!
0:34:29 > 0:34:3555... 60... 65... One more please, 65... 70.. £70...
0:34:35 > 0:34:4370, 75... £70, are we done at £70?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45£70.
0:34:45 > 0:34:51- That's not too bad.- Could have done better, but you are delighted to have got rid of it, aren't you?
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Yes, I don't want to take it back.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56It wouldn't have gone back in the back of the car easily!
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Just £10 under the top estimate is another great result
0:35:00 > 0:35:05and £70 is a good amount to put in the pot.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09The mahogany card table is up next. Will it be snapped up
0:35:09 > 0:35:11for £60 to £100?
0:35:12 > 0:35:17According to the catalogue, the next item of yours to come up
0:35:17 > 0:35:22is the Edwardian mahogany tea table with a fold-over top and under-tier.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25You were pretty convinced that this was a games table.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27I'm not sure why they've called it a tea table,
0:35:27 > 0:35:32because you've got cubby holes for putting your chips and playing cards.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36I'd much rather be playing a game at that table than taking tea, which no-one does any more!
0:35:36 > 0:35:39£50 for it, please... £50 for it.
0:35:39 > 0:35:45The table. £50... 55... 60...
0:35:45 > 0:35:4765... 70... 75...
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- Still going up.- Come on!
0:35:50 > 0:35:53At £70, I'm going at £70...
0:35:53 > 0:35:56£70, that's a bit more than you paid for it, isn't it, Angela?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Oh, yes, I paid about £18.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00There you go, got a return.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02You see? Learn from your mother, Nina.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08I wonder if the winning bidder is going to play cards on it,
0:36:08 > 0:36:09or take tea.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Now, we've got your wonderful collection of scent bottles here.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Although these were very girlie and very feminine, I liked them.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19You must be sorry to see some of these go.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22I am, in a way, because some of them are very, very lovely.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- How many have you got? - Between 15 and 20, I think.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28You're getting quite a lot for your money,
0:36:28 > 0:36:31because £60 to £100 for the entire collection,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34it's three of four quid each, which isn't huge.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36They're very collectible, scent bottles.
0:36:36 > 0:36:42£50... Thank you, a bid at £50. 55... 60...
0:36:42 > 0:36:4465, I'll come back to you. 65... 70...
0:36:44 > 0:36:4775... 80... 85...
0:36:47 > 0:36:4990... 95...
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- 100... 110... - Yes!
0:36:51 > 0:36:53120...
0:36:53 > 0:36:56130... Up to you now.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58At 120...
0:36:58 > 0:37:01130, new bidder. 140...
0:37:01 > 0:37:06130... 140... At 130 in the middle, £130.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08She really wants them, she's been outbid.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11135, you want?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14135, she's come back in.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16She can't resist it, she's back in again.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19£140, 145...
0:37:19 > 0:37:23£140... 145, she means it...
0:37:23 > 0:37:26150... 150...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29155... You going to roll your eyes again?
0:37:29 > 0:37:34At 150, and 155...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36You out? 155! Why not?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37160?
0:37:37 > 0:37:40You've got 'em at 155.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- 155, all done. 238, 155. - GAVEL BANGS
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Good price, and I'm glad she got them, because...
0:37:47 > 0:37:52The look of disappointment! And then she thought, "There's going to be one more bid."
0:37:52 > 0:37:56It was a very feminine lot, so it's right that she gets it.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57We all felt quite involved there
0:37:57 > 0:38:00and really wanted the bottles to go to that lady.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04They went for a terrific price too, so we're doubly delighted.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08Next, another collection that belonged to Angela's mother-in-law.
0:38:08 > 0:38:14These silver hairbrushes and table mirrors are valued at...
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Not something that you used on your dressing table.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19They've just sat in a box for ages.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24- And it's not the kind of thing you would use either presumably, Nina? - No, not really.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Is it because you didn't like them, or...?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29They just weren't my style.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30£50...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32£30, start me.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34A bid at £30. 32...
0:38:34 > 0:38:3732... 35... 38... 40...
0:38:37 > 0:38:4142... 45... 48... 50... 55...
0:38:41 > 0:38:44It's now at £50...
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Are we done at £50? Going at £50...
0:38:48 > 0:38:51£50, bottom of the estimate, but that's a good result.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53That's all right.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58Right on the nose, and another £50 into the pot.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03Angela has just two lots left, with the Edwin Earp watercolours up first. She bought them
0:39:03 > 0:39:08from a local gallery, and now they're valued at...
0:39:09 > 0:39:13You were a little bit tipsy when you bought these, weren't you?
0:39:13 > 0:39:14I really was, yes.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17I'd had a few drinks because they had an open evening
0:39:17 > 0:39:21and of course it was free drink and I decided I'd have something as well.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24So, I was showing off, I suppose!
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Three watercolours, £100...
0:39:26 > 0:39:27Thank you for the £100.
0:39:27 > 0:39:33110... 120... 130... 140... 150... 160...
0:39:33 > 0:39:35£150...
0:39:35 > 0:39:37150, take 160.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- 150, last chance, your bid... - GAVEL BANGS
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- £150.- It wasn't bad.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45It's time for somebody else to enjoy them.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50£150. That's £50 over what Angela paid for them originally.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55So, in spite of being a little tipsy at the time, she made a profit.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58It's time for our final lot and we should be going out with a bang,
0:39:58 > 0:40:03as it's the two candlesticks, one of which is Georgian.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10You bought it for next to nothing, didn't you?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- What did you pay for them? - I only paid £1 for each of them.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18I'm going to come along with you. Next time you go for one of these, I want to be there!
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Let's see what your return is going to be on that one.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23150 to start me. 150 there.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27160... 170... 180...
0:40:27 > 0:40:28190... 200...
0:40:28 > 0:40:32210... 220... 230...
0:40:32 > 0:40:34240... 250...
0:40:34 > 0:40:38260... At £250...
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Going at £250 and gone...
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- Good.- £250.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Good result.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48It's a shame they didn't make more,
0:40:48 > 0:40:53but Angela seems very relaxed about the sale and she doesn't know her full total yet.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58I'm sure she's going to have good cause to get excited.
0:40:58 > 0:41:04I did say at the halfway point that we were not halfway to your £700, but never fear,
0:41:04 > 0:41:09because we were all optimistic that the second half was going to be good and it really has been.
0:41:09 > 0:41:16£700 is what you wanted to spend on that makeover for Nina's room, but there's going to be a bit left over
0:41:16 > 0:41:19and I think, Angela, you should decide how you want
0:41:19 > 0:41:23to spend the rest of the money, because you've made £962.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Oh, lovely.- What?!
0:41:26 > 0:41:30So, I think your mum gets to spend £262 on something else.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- A bit of pampering.- Clothes for me!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35How about something for your mum?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37No!
0:41:42 > 0:41:48Back at their house, and Angela has wasted no time in transforming Nina's bedroom.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Even her dad, Bob, has been roped in
0:41:50 > 0:41:53along with a family friend to do the finishing touches.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58We've gone for the glamorous style, really.
0:41:58 > 0:42:04She wanted it done as a movie star because she's heading into that kind of thing.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08So, what does Nina think of the makeover?
0:42:08 > 0:42:09NINA GASPS
0:42:09 > 0:42:11No way!
0:42:11 > 0:42:15I think it's really, really amazing.
0:42:15 > 0:42:22I absolutely love the light. It is so nice when you turn it on the light reflects on the ceiling.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- And now she's going to keep it nice and clean, she's promised. Hopefully. - Hopefully.
