0:00:02 > 0:00:06Millions of us struggle to throw away things we don't use or need
0:00:06 > 0:00:08and clutter is taking over our homes.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12But with a little bit of know-how and a lot of hard work,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15we will show you how to earn some money
0:00:15 > 0:00:18by turning your trash into cash.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Today we're in Slough in Berkshire to clear this lovely semi
0:00:35 > 0:00:37of all its unwanted items.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This house has all the qualities of a perfect home
0:00:39 > 0:00:42but stashed away are money-making opportunities.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46We've already had a look round. Now it's your turn.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Today we're at a house of illusions.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52First impressions give no indication of a clutter problem.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55But look inside any drawer or cupboard
0:00:55 > 0:00:59and you'll find 36 years' worth of unwanted clutter hidden away.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Ah, so we've got a house-proud hoarder
0:01:02 > 0:01:06who likes to keep their stash of junk and jumble under wraps.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10That's right, Mark, but look carefully and the evidence is there.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12The spare bedroom gives us our first clue.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Lots of wardrobe and drawer space yet still visible clutter.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Up another floor into the loft and it's a less tidy affair.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Clearly, there's stuff to go here.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Back downstairs and it's outside we go.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Two sheds crammed full of stuff - neatly, of course.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33And then there's a summer house that's definitely in need of a spring clean.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Finally, there's the garage - not the fullest I've seen
0:01:37 > 0:01:39but nonetheless, impressively cluttered.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43There's no doubt that parts of this house need a good clear-out.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46But just who sent out today's decluttering SOS?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Today's clutter collector is charity worker Eleanor Cryer,
0:01:50 > 0:01:54a young-at-heart, jet-setting grandmother of two
0:01:54 > 0:01:57who likes to hold onto everything just in case it may come in handy.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02That means keeping all sorts of items that might be useful to not just her
0:02:02 > 0:02:03but everyone else.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Eleanor has lived here with husband Derek for over three decades,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10so she's had plenty of time to collect, hoard and stash
0:02:10 > 0:02:12all the clutter that's she's acquired.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16As a world traveller, I've collected things over the years,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20plus when I'm away, people make lovely donations to me
0:02:20 > 0:02:23and quite honestly, the house is so full of things
0:02:23 > 0:02:27and it has cluttered the cupboards and the drawers.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I think it's time some of it went.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Eleanor's nearly right but I think it's time all of it went
0:02:33 > 0:02:36and I'm not sure it's just the cupboards and drawers
0:02:36 > 0:02:38where we'll find unwanted clutter.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Our mission to clear out her home is only half the story today,
0:02:41 > 0:02:47because Eleanor is also hoping that we'll be able to help her make some money from her junk.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Well, I hope we can raise round about £300
0:02:51 > 0:02:53because I'd like to have a last made,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55so that means that I could have handmade shoes
0:02:55 > 0:02:58when I grow up and get very old and decrepit.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I can see we're dealing with quite a character today,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04with that unusual aspiration.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06But if we're going to help her achieve it,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08we've lots to crack on with.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11First, to clear out the areas that are feeling the strain
0:03:11 > 0:03:14and second, to raise money by selling everything she no longer needs,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18so Eleanor can afford the shoe last of her feet.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20It's going to take lots of work
0:03:20 > 0:03:24but luckily, husband Derek agrees that action has to be taken.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26We've lived in this house for 36 years
0:03:26 > 0:03:30and over this time, we've built up a large collection of items,
0:03:30 > 0:03:31large and small,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34and I think we both agree that now is about the time
0:03:34 > 0:03:36to have a little bit of a clear-out
0:03:36 > 0:03:41and uncover some of the things that we probably didn't even realise were still there.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45It's good to hear today's couple singing from the same hymn sheet
0:03:45 > 0:03:48but who's going to be the most ruthless when it comes down to it?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53We're going to be in two teams and whoever makes the most money at the house sale will win.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58But first, Eleanor and Derek must agree to the all-important Trash To Cash deal.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59OK, so here's the deal.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Derek and Eleanor, I know that you want to raise £300 here today
0:04:03 > 0:04:06and me and Mark will help you all we can
0:04:06 > 0:04:09but in exchange for the expertise and the advice
0:04:09 > 0:04:11of ourselves and the Trash To Cash team,
0:04:11 > 0:04:16I'd like you to make the same amount of money again for a good cause of your choosing.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Do you agree to that?- OK.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22To do this properly, all the items that you want to declutter have to go.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Nothing goes back in the house, so any items that are left over
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- will be donated to charity. - Wonderful.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29- Do you agree to that?- OK.- Excellent.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Well, that means the deal is in place.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Now, what I want to do is to split us into two teams.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- You've been married 53 years, I believe.- Yes.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41So now is the time to be separated.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Derek, you're with me, young man,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- and Eleanor, you're with the lovely Paul Hayes.- The winning team.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Well, we'll see.- We're the A team. - We are the A team.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Eleanor, have you got anything to add to that?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54He has no class.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56LAUGHTER
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Well, let's get decluttering. Come along, guys.- Right-oh.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It sounds to me like 53 years of marriage
0:05:02 > 0:05:05isn't going to stand in the way of these two getting competitive
0:05:05 > 0:05:07with each other.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10And Paul, I can see you're going to have your hands full with Eleanor.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Let's just hope you show some class.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Class is my middle name!
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Let battle commence because if we're going to ship out all the clutter and make £600,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21we need to get started.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24We'll be selling to private dealers and local shops,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27as well as putting on a grand house sale.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Let's not forget we also have the services of handy man Danny Wood,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35who can repair, refurb and revitalise all manner of things
0:05:35 > 0:05:38to be sold at our very own auction.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40The sun is out, so we start in the garden
0:05:40 > 0:05:43with what is supposed to be the summer house.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Tell me about this summer house. It's lovely, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51It's a bit cluttered at present because we store all the stuff during the winter
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- but this is my little hidey-hole during the summer.- OK.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- If you're going to use it as a summer house, you do need to get rid of this clutter.- Oh, yes.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01You've got cushions, hundreds of chairs.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04There's far too much stuff in here, so what we need to do
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- is to send in our makeover team... - Lovely.- ..and give it a nice revamp.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I can imagine you and Derek sitting here having a coffee
0:06:12 > 0:06:14and a glass of wine - it would be wonderful.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- Use it as a summer house. - Well, actually, it's going to become my artist's studio.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21That sounds even better.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23But we need to clear it out first.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26This Lloyd Loom chair, has this come down the family?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30I can't remember where we got it. We've had it a long time.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Right. It looks Art Deco, 1930s. - It does. 1930s.- Very popular style.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37And it's recognisable as being genuine Lloyd Loom
0:06:37 > 0:06:43by the fact that all the banding, the weaving, go crossways.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45If it goes up and down, then it's a basket weave.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Lloyd Loom was a marvellous inventor about 100 years ago.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52He worked out a way of covering wire with papier mache
0:06:52 > 0:06:55and that is then woven around and that creates the design.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59It's very, very simple, very strong, perfect for an item like this.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I didn't know that was the way it was done.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04So I think we could get maybe £30 for that.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10- Does that sound all right? - Oh, I'd be ever so disappointed if I didn't get more than that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- I was expecting about 50 for that. - OK, well, I like your optimism.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- I hope you're right at £50. - I'll be very disappointed if not.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20OK, we'll try our best.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23What about this table? Is that something that you bought?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24I bought that from a pub.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27That's a nice old table. Maybe 20 or 30 quid.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Tell me about this captain's chair. - Isn't that lovely?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I got that from the same pub. That's solid oak.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38They get their name, really, from the ship's captains, who had chairs like this.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You can see where it's been worn away, which is lovely.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45All right. So I think nearer the £50 mark for that. Do you?
0:07:45 > 0:07:51- Well, if you could get 50 for it I'd be very pleased.- Fantastic. I think they're realistic prices.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55I would like to say £30, £20 and £50 for that lot.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59And don't forget, we make over this summer house and turn it into an artist's studio.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Absolutely.- There we go. So you're a budding Van Gogh.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Something like that. - Something like that.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Well, it's clear to see who's in charge in your team, Paul.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11But there's no doubt that while the summer house looks full of promise,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14it isn't fulfilling its potential.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Once the Trash To Cash team have finished with it, though,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21hopefully it will be a studio fit to inspire masterpieces.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Derek and I have also ventured outside in the quest for cash.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28So you've got quite a few garden sets of furniture.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Do you ever have garden parties? - We have in the past had a lot,
0:08:32 > 0:08:33quite a number,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36but I think that when we look ahead a little bit
0:08:36 > 0:08:38these will be less frequent.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Now, this is a nice set. These are wrought iron. Let's have a look.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46These aren't antiques per se
0:08:46 > 0:08:51but this style has been made for over 100 years.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Matching set of four, which is always good,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55and they're in great condition.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Now, this little set here, our team's found a buyer for these
0:08:59 > 0:09:02and we're looking at £100. What do you think of that?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Super. Very good. I'm very pleased.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Now, these are more for the house sale.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11These are sort of quite average, common chairs,
0:09:11 > 0:09:15you know - good plastic but the fabric's seen better days.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- It's all sort of '80s style, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21These at the house sale, 10, 15 quid each.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- I'd settle for that.- Yeah, exactly. We'd give those a go.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Now, what's going on with this basket?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29That's a bit ancient, too.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32It's nice for collecting large lumps of fruit from the garden.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It's got to be £5, £8, something like that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37We've got the best part of £150 sitting here.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Then that's a good start, isn't it? - It is a good start.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Let's carry on looking.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46First place we look and already 150 quid's worth of stuff to get rid of.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Result!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50How come you're sitting down on the job, Paul?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Eleanor and I are talking tactics
0:09:52 > 0:09:55and discussing who's in charge.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56I don't think so.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58What have you been looking at?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02There's a white table and four chairs in the shed
0:10:02 > 0:10:04and I think they're worth well in excess of £100.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- How do you like them onions? - Well, we've got a captain's chair
0:10:08 > 0:10:11and a Lloyd Loom chair and a solid oak table.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15That's worth at least £100 for the whole lot, don't you think?
0:10:15 > 0:10:16- At least.- At least.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Would you be happy with £100, Eleanor?
0:10:19 > 0:10:25- I'd be disappointed if it stopped at £100.- Listen to the B team!
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- AIRCRAFT OVERHEAD - For us, it's "plane" sailing, get it?- Oh!- Plane! Plane sailing.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Let's go and look at the dining room. - Derek, let's go over here.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I do the jokes. He doesn't seem to understand that.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37'B team indeed. We'll see about that.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40'We're not hanging around to argue.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41'We've come inside out of the cold
0:10:41 > 0:10:44'and to look at some of the clutter stashed indoors.'
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Follow me through to your lovely dining room.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- So who's collected all this? - Over the years, we have.- Right.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's all good stuff but it is junking up the house.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Right. You've got a lovely Victorian tureen.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01This would be part of a very extensive dinner service.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06A piece of Victorian memorabilia, it's worth a tenner at least at our house sale.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08And then you've got some silver plated stuff.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Do you ever use these items? - Not really.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I would do if we had staff but the staff have had to go.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17PAUL LAUGHS
0:11:17 > 0:11:20But silver plated items, they're very flashy.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24They look great for restaurants and hotels, that sort of thing.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26It's a very modern set. This is a coffee service.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- You're looking, £10-£15 is all, I'm afraid, for that one.- Oh, well.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32A fiver for your cake basket.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34You've got £20-£30 for your tea service.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36So things are adding up nicely.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39You've got some ceramic items, some silver plate.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41These are perfect for our house sale.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44These are some very saleable items. We've got some costume jewellery.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Were they items that you bought?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Or had them as gifts.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51There's some Victorian jewellery in there,
0:11:51 > 0:11:52which must have been left to us.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I did spot a couple of very Victorian items.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58The first one is this one. This is an agate stone.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00This was very, very popular in the Victorian period
0:12:00 > 0:12:04because Queen Victoria used to visit the Cairngorm mountains
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- What a lovely pronunciation. - Thank you.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- It took me hours to work that out. - I just call it the Cairngorms.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12The "Cairrngorrrms". That's it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15And as a souvenir, they'd bring back these agate items,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18bracelets and all sorts of items made out of it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20So that's very collectable in its own right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23This design has been around for ever. It's called The Miracle.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28- It's very Celtic - another Scottish connection. Have you got...?- Not at all.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30They were probably gifts from Scotland.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Well, you have a Celtic cross there
0:12:32 > 0:12:37and this design was developed in the '50s to hark back to Scottish design,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40so they're worth a few pounds on their own.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42It's a nice little collection here.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45A lady's who's interested in costume jewellery is coming here today
0:12:45 > 0:12:47and she'll take a look over them.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I think they're worth maybe £40 or £50.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Let's hope she agrees. It all adds up to our cause here today.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57But I wanted to ask you about the pocket watch here.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- That was Derek's great-grandfather's watch.- OK.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Has Derek ever worn it?- Oh, no.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08It just got passed to him since his own father died.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Right, OK.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12This is solid silver. As a gentleman's pocket watch
0:13:12 > 0:13:16it would have hung on an Albert chain on his waistcoat, of course,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18and these are decorative fobs,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21which would have hung from that to make your waistcoat look fancy.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- I think that's worth at least £30. - At least.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27At least. In its own right, OK?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29So it's 40 for the costume jewellery,
0:13:29 > 0:13:3330 for the watch, that's £70 just for this top layer here.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- You've got some great items. - Splendid. And it will declutter the house.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39That's main thing. That's what we're here for.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42'Eleanor is getting into the swing of this
0:13:42 > 0:13:44'but she's not keen to settle for my valuations.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48'Let's just hope she can get what she wants for these pieces.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51'If you do, then we might just be worried.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55'We've jumped in the van and are heading off to the local garden centre
0:13:55 > 0:13:58'to try and sell the garden table and chairs from the shed.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02'And while we're en route, I'm going to give Derek one or two selling tips
0:14:02 > 0:14:07'and find out who is the main clutter culprit in this marriage.'
0:14:07 > 0:14:12So all the clutter in the house, who's really to blame?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- I suppose if I'm honest, which I ought to be...- You should be.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18..probably both of us.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Eleanor's a natural hoarder anyway
0:14:22 > 0:14:26and I have to confess, over the years, a lot of the things that she's wanted to keep
0:14:26 > 0:14:30weren't necessarily for sentimental value but for practical things.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Why throw things away when they could be of some use?- Yeah.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38And that really is how we've come to hoard a lot.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40So what are you like at selling, Derek?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I don't negotiate as well as Eleanor does.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45She's very good at it,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48so our team's at a little bit of a disadvantage.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53When you're selling an item, ask the buyer to name the price.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Don't you name the price and then go very quiet
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and what will generally happen if you go quiet for long enough,
0:15:00 > 0:15:04the buyer will feel awkward and will fill that space.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Quite often, they will offer a bit more.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- So are you happy with that?- Yes. I think we'll see how it goes.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Noreen, your garden centre's fabulous.- Thank you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16I really love it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20And I've bought Derek, here. He's my younger brother. No, he's not.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24He's got this table and chairs, which he's looked after very well,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26and it's now time to get rid of it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Derek's going to tell you all about it.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Well, we've had this for a year or two, Noreen. It's in good condition.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37So here it is and what do you think it's worth?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Erm... It's quite a nice set. It's wrought iron.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Quite nice and sturdy.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Obviously they've been looked after and cared for.- Thank you.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Erm... I think we could happily give you about £95 for it.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Great work, Derek!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57You're following my tip and being quiet after that opening offer.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00£95 is a good price
0:16:00 > 0:16:05but will Derek be able to get the dealer beyond my estimate of £100?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11'At the house, Mel Ellis, the owner of a vintage clothing shop,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13'has come to check out some of the jewellery.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15'But before we sat down to do business,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19'I had a quick tip for Eleanor to help her get a sparkling deal.'
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Before we go in, I want to give you a top tip.- What's that?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Take control of the situation. I don't think you're going to find this hard.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30So you lead the conversation, lead the information about the items
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- and lead the deal at the end, all right?- Right.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- So it's all down to you.- OK. Off we go.- Good luck.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- We've got to beat that other team. - We do. That Derek. Come on.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Here we go.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Something tells me Eleanor's going to be a natural haggler
0:16:45 > 0:16:48but beating me and Derek? I don't think so.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So here we are, Mel. You've picked out a few items that interest you.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Why these items in particular? What is it about them?
0:16:55 > 0:17:01- I think it's the 1950s items.- Right. - They're very in vogue for me.- OK.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03And I like brooches, so...
0:17:03 > 0:17:07How many are you interested in? What sort of price have you got in mind?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09'She's not hanging around!'
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Well, I'm interested in your brooches.- Yes.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15This brooch, sadly, is damaged.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17All right. We'll do it at a damaged price.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18PAUL LAUGHS
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I really like these Austrian crystal beads.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27I think it's something that every girl would wear in the '50s with their summer dresses.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Do you want to know how much I would offer for those?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Wouldn't you like to make a price for a job lot?
0:17:32 > 0:17:37'Blimey! You go for it. She's really working hard to secure the sale.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41'Finding out that they're both former teachers has helped build a good rapport.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44'Let's hope that Mel makes an offer that matches the pitch.'
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- These are the items that you've put to one side.- Yes, yes.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57Well, I would think probably £100 for the lot.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59'Well, that's a phenomenal offer.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02'I know I'm not in charge but Eleanor has to say yes.'
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Because we've both been in the same profession,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- I'll shake on it.- OK.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11That sounds like an amazing deal. Well done, Mel.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15'You jammy so-and-so, getting more than double what you were hoping for.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18'Team Eleanor is going to be hard to beat.'
0:18:18 > 0:18:22I was extremely happy with the money that I got for the jewellery.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I think the purchaser was very generous.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I was very grateful that Paul was able to give me some tips.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32It would never have occurred to me to do what he suggested.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Thank you very much, Paul.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38'I think Eleanor is being a little modest.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43- 'How's Derek getting on? - He's working hard to get more than the initial £95
0:18:43 > 0:18:45'for the garden furniture.'
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Summer's coming, it's on its way.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51OK, well, I'll tell you what. OK.
0:18:51 > 0:18:57Let's just deal on... how about £110? Would you be happy with that?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I think £110 is a very good price.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- It is rather nice, though, isn't it? - It is lovely.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13It is a nice piece of equipment. Noreen, can you do a bit better?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Give us your best price. Come on.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I think the best price has got to be my final offer. £120.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's over to you, Derek.
0:19:24 > 0:19:30- She's gone up from 95. - Noreen, we have a deal.- Thank you.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32'That's a great result.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35'Derek did an excellent job of controlling the negotiations
0:19:35 > 0:19:38'and got a cracking price for the garden set.'
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Well, we raised £120 and I'm very pleased.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I think it's a fair price.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I found that Mark's tips were very beneficial
0:19:47 > 0:19:49and I think that's reflected in the good price
0:19:49 > 0:19:52that we finally negotiated.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53'After the first round of selling,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56'it's time to take a look at the scores on the doors.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00'We managed to get a whooping £100 for the jewellery,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03'that's double what we were looking for.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06'Let's hope that it's a good omen for the final result.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08'Well, Derek and I have secured £120
0:20:08 > 0:20:11'for the wrought iron garden table and chairs,
0:20:11 > 0:20:16'which puts us 20 quid ahead and I think that's where we'll stay.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17'Confident words, Mark,
0:20:17 > 0:20:22'but after only one sale, this competition has still got a long way to go.'
0:20:28 > 0:20:32We may have made a good start in our quest to make £600 from Derek and Eleanor's stuff
0:20:32 > 0:20:34but that's only half our job.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36We're also decluttering their home
0:20:36 > 0:20:42and while we've been selling, the Trash To Cash team have been transforming the house.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Outside, things have started to take shape in the shed and garage
0:20:47 > 0:20:50but our main focus today is on the summer house
0:20:50 > 0:20:52and turning it into an artist's studio.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I'm looking forward to seeing the finished job myself,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57as well as showing it to Eleanor.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59But first I want to find out more
0:20:59 > 0:21:02about where all this money we're raising from the clutter
0:21:02 > 0:21:03is going to.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08So, Eleanor, how does it feel to see all your unwanted items finally go?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Oh, it's a big relief.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- Is it something that you've wanted to do for a long time? - No, it's just a new idea
0:21:15 > 0:21:18but I'm decluttering my life, decluttering my mind
0:21:18 > 0:21:20and decluttering the house.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Sounds amazing.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25So, Eleanor, have you decided which charity you want to donate the money to?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'm going to give the money to the Slough Progressive Group.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32They do a lot of work with children, disadvantaged children,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34in all sorts of ways.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36And because these children are disadvantaged,
0:21:36 > 0:21:41the Slough Progressive Group do things with the children
0:21:41 > 0:21:46like sports and activities and outings and arts and crafts.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50And many of those children, that's the only opportunity they have
0:21:50 > 0:21:53to do those things outside their family.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58- So that's going to make a massive difference to them. - An enormous difference.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- And what about yourself?- I'm going to be totally extravagant.- Wahey!
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Ever so extravagant.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07I'm going to find a company who would make a shoe last for me
0:22:07 > 0:22:11and that means, in time, I could have handmade shoes.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15So a shoe last. What exactly do you mean?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Well, that's what it's called.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I would go to a very specialised company.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21They would measure my feet
0:22:21 > 0:22:23and do all the things that are correct with my feet
0:22:23 > 0:22:27and then they would make a last, it's called.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- You can call it a block, if you like.- OK.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Then each time they want to make me a pair of shoes,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34they've got a last of my feet.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I think that's why it's called a last - it lasts forever.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40It sounds marvellous. You learn something every day.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43'Talking of lasts, that's where you're going to be at the end
0:22:43 > 0:22:47'because Derek and I aren't wasting time talking shoes.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52'We've moved onto another shed that's filled with more money-making treasure.'
0:22:52 > 0:22:54How many sheds does a man need?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Quite a number. I was thinking of getting another one.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Oh, I should, yeah.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01We've got some bits of furniture in here.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- We've got a nice table with a pine top.- All right.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06That top would look lovely, scrubbed,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09and that will sell at the house sale quite easily. People like pine.
0:23:09 > 0:23:15Now, chairs. Every year we bin to the landfill
0:23:15 > 0:23:19300 to 400 tons, thousand tons, of furniture.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24Now look at this. Most people would throw that away.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25But we've got Dan, Dan the DIY man
0:23:25 > 0:23:28and he can turn these into saleable items
0:23:28 > 0:23:31and hopefully at the house sale, with a bit of love and TLC,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34we should get £10-15 a pair.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- So suddenly we've got 30, 40 quid waiting to happen.- From nothing.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- From stuff people throw away. - Very good.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Right, I'm going to carry this one.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45We'll get the team to pick the rest of them up.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Let's go.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52That's another 50 quid in the kitty and we haven't finished outside.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54We've now moved on to the garage.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- What car have you got, Derek? - I have a blue Volvo.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01A Volvo. It would be interesting getting it in here, wouldn't it?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Actually, it doesn't fit.- No?! You never say!- No.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- You could get a motorbike in here just about.- Only just.- Yeah.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- We've got another one of these tables.- That's right.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Another 20 or 30 quid waiting to happen.- That's great.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17This is an interesting cabinet. Let's look in here. What is all this?
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Just bits and pieces. These are cooking utensils.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24They're very nice. They'll sell at the house sale.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26What's this little cabinet here?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30That was built to fit on a desk in an office where Eleanor worked.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Yeah?- It's hardly ever been used. It's absolutely solid.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Would you like to have a good look at that for me?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39It's MD and F, isn't it?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Oh!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Hardly an antique. - I didn't know that.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- MDF, it's OK.- But it's a nice tidy little unit.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51It's another fiver, perhaps a tenner on a good day.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- There's another 50 quid in here.- Good news. - There's money everywhere.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I'm glad to hear it.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- I'm going to go and make a nice cup of Rosie Lee.- OK, I'll join you.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04You don't have time for tea, Mark, if you want to beat Eleanor and I.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07But we're not just here to make money.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12We're also here to help Eleanor and Derek reclaim those areas
0:25:12 > 0:25:15that have started to drown in unwanted clutter.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Our team of clutter-busters have been clearing out this place
0:25:19 > 0:25:22and the summer house in particular has been transformed,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26with the unwanted items taken out and some creative inspiration brought in.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28But how will it go down with Eleanor?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31OK, Eleanor. It's the moment of truth now.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33This is one of the reasons why we're here,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35to see your summer house made over.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Can you describe to me what it was like this morning when we left it?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Oh, it was a right junk hole this morning.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47I really wanted it converted into a very bright, modern artist's studio.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- To use as an art studio rather than a summer house.- That's right.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55OK, it's time to find out whether all your dreams have been answered
0:25:55 > 0:25:59and the makeover team have done a fantastic job turning it into a studio.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02So turn around now and tell me what you think. Look at that.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- There you go. Do you like it? - It's different.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Can you imagine yourself in here now? - Oh, yes.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Mm. Good Lord. Is it the same place?
0:26:14 > 0:26:20Now that it's done, who's going to come and clean it weekly for me?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24PAUL LAUGHS Don't look at me. You might get Mark to do it.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Somebody ought to come back. Absolutely amazing.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Are you pleased? Would you use the easel and the table?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Yes.- Excellent.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Well, I think they've done a fantastic job.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- You've got a good, useable space now. - Yes.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Onwards and upwards. Our day is not yet finished.- No.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43We need to see what else we can sell for the house sale.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46What was a bit of a dumping ground and extra storage
0:26:46 > 0:26:50has now been converted into a bright and airy room
0:26:50 > 0:26:54to inspire artistic work and enjoy the afternoon sun.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59I think once Eleanor has had a bit of time to take it all in, she'll love it.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I can imagine it now - a glass of Pimm's, a cucumber sandwich
0:27:03 > 0:27:04and an afternoon nap.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Thanks to a big effort we're making good progress
0:27:07 > 0:27:11with our mission to declutter Derek and Eleanor's home.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15We've restyled rooms, refurbished items and sold stuff, too.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17'There's still work to do though
0:27:17 > 0:27:20'and up in the loft there are more items that we can cash in on.'
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I think Derek's got his own cinema up here.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I'm only kidding. But your old ironing board's up here.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31- I haven't used it in years. I've got an ironing machine.- Honestly?- Yeah.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Well, this design has been around over 100 years now.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38A lady called Sarah Boone developed the ironing board.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41She put a curve on the top so you could do your shirt sleeves.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Marvellous. It's been pretty much like that since then.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- I think this one has seen better days.- I expect it has.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I think we need to give this to our fabulous handyman Danny
0:27:51 > 0:27:53and he can make it over for us
0:27:53 > 0:27:55and for the house sale it must be £10-£15.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Oh, I should think so. They're very expensive now.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02We'll leave it here for now. We've got a nice little footstool here.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- You remember your Lloyd Loom?- Yes. - This is the basket weave.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- That's right.- Can you see?
0:28:07 > 0:28:12- That's pretty, isn't it? Can that go?- Yes, I've got no use for it now.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- All right. We must be looking at £5-£10 for that.- Oh, at least.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20At least. I like your attitude. And one other thing, this little tripod table,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23which is solid pine and it's got nice little feet on it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28It's like a little wine table. Very nice hairy paw feet. A very popular Georgian style.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30But this is pine, so it's quite modern.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35- Value wise, what? £15-£20. - Ooh, one would think a bit more.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37It's a solid table. You've just told me that.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Why doesn't that surprise me? HE LAUGHS
0:28:40 > 0:28:44So you've got 20, you've got 25 and you've got an ironing board.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45You've got 35 quid easily.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47What about these old wicker baskets?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50That's an old-fashioned washing basket.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54OK, well, that must be a fiver. £1 for the other one.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Anything else up here?- Surely there must be an ottoman up there.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- An ottoman?- Yeah. - I think there's something here.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- That's nice. You don't use it any more?- I haven't used it in years.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05It was a wedding present.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Well, that could be £20-£30. It's quite a nice example.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11So we'll have to move all this stuff.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- How often do you come up here? - I've never been up there.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- This is Derek's domain?- Yeah.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I thought there was a cocktail cabinet in the corner
0:29:18 > 0:29:20and a nice kettle.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23You've got a tidy little lot there for the house sale, Paul,
0:29:23 > 0:29:25and I'm glad to see that being a true gent,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27you didn't make Eleanor go up there.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30I was worried what she might see up in Derek's loft.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Seriously though, it's all adding up
0:29:32 > 0:29:36and we've got Danny the handyman here to add value to items
0:29:36 > 0:29:38by investing a bit of time and materials.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41The ironing board is already in his capable hands
0:29:41 > 0:29:45and being given a new lease of life.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48First he carefully dismantles the ironing board.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Next using metal paint, he sprays the legs and top.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Finally, Danny cuts the fabric to size and attaches it,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00before putting the ironing board back together.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Our once tired and boring ironing board
0:30:03 > 0:30:05has now been given a stylish makeover
0:30:05 > 0:30:08and is ready for a new home.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Well, it may be a great improvement
0:30:11 > 0:30:14but I'm sure Danny can do an even better job with the chairs
0:30:14 > 0:30:19and if yours need some attention, here's how to revitalise them.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23First, sand down the wood to remove all the dirt and paint.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Then reattach the fabric, replacing any rusty or missing metal pins
0:30:28 > 0:30:30holding it in place.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Finally, give the sanded down wood a fresh coat of varnish.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40And there it is - a pair of chairs to easily rival your ironing board.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45I'm looking forward to seeing how they do when we auction them off at the house sale.
0:30:46 > 0:30:52After a long day, our decluttering campaign in Derek and Eleanor's home
0:30:52 > 0:30:53is coming to an end
0:30:53 > 0:30:57but before we call it a day, Derek and I are making one last push
0:30:57 > 0:31:00to sort out a few more items for the house sale.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Don't worry, Derek, you sit there. - That's it.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Right, mate, let's have a butcher's.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13Board games. Board games are always good sellers at these house sales.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Oh, that's good. - And this one's got your name on it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- Genius.- Genius.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- Board games have been around for 8,000 years. Did you know that? - No I didn't but you just told me.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25You know now, don't you, eh? Mastermind.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Monopoly, if I remember rightly, is the biggest seller of all time,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- closely followed by Trivial Pursuit. - That's right.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Both of those games have made bundles of money.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Now, we've got a nice little selection there.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42There's got to be £10-£20. These are like, 2,3, £4 each.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Now, what's this here? A little pouffe.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- The contents? Let me guess. - Eleanor's art stuff, brushes and things.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53This is quite nice, isn't it? Always handy, a bit of storage.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- That's got to be another £10 note. - Good.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02- Now, what's teddy all about? - The teddy is a little gift going back many, many, many years.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06I don't know whether it was given to my wife or to my daughter
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- but I think it's time she went. - You're not wrong, are you?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Look at the state of that. It's been well loved, hasn't it, eh?
0:32:13 > 0:32:17I tell you what, people love teddy bears. They get very attached.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- I'm surprised you're allowed to get rid of it. - It was Eleanor's decision.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24As she made the executive decision, so be it.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29- Shall we go and see how Paul and Eleanor are getting on? - That's a good idea.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Credit where it's due, Mark. Those are very saleable items for our house sale.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Thank you very much, Paul. Prepare to lose the competition.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37We'll see about that.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40After a long day clearing up piles of unwanted clutter,
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- we've made a big difference to this home, though.- Indeed we have.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Earlier on we transformed a summer house that was full of junk and jumble.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51But our clear-out work isn't quite finished.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I have it on good authority that Derek and Eleanor are keen
0:32:54 > 0:32:59for our crack makeover squad to work their magic on the spare bedroom
0:32:59 > 0:33:00that we were just in.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02We'll see the results of that transformation
0:33:02 > 0:33:04at the house sale.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09Right now, though, it's time for us all to meet up and compare notes.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12So, Eleanor, you're not on A team, I'm afraid,
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- but did you enjoy yourself?- Mm.- A long day.- Yes, but a good day.- Good.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- Derek, what do you think of the show so far?- Trash.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Never fear. This trash will be turned into cash, won't it, Paul?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Well, we already have turned some of that into money.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- We got £100 for some costume jewellery.- You did well there
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- but not quite as good as us with £120.- No, indeed.
0:33:31 > 0:33:37Well, I think we've got at least £150 or £200's worth of stuff for our house sale.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40We've got 140, 160, perhaps even 200 on a good day,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42so it is very close.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- There you go. - I don't believe a word he's saying.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49- Well, we still have to advertise our house sale.- Yes.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54You've got to contact as many friends, family, relatives, neighbours to come along
0:33:54 > 0:33:57and clear all this lot and turn it into good, hard cash.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- We look forward to it.- Great stuff!
0:34:05 > 0:34:09It's the day of the house sale, so let's hope all the hard work setting it up has paid off.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12There's a great selection of stuff for both teams to sell
0:34:12 > 0:34:16but we're going to have to work hard to reach our target of £600.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19So far we've made £220 between us
0:34:19 > 0:34:25and Derek and I are slightly in the lead in the battle for the Trash To Cash crown.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28But there is still loads of unwanted clutter to sell today,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31so this contest could go either way.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35It's a couple of days since we helped Eleanor and Derek declutter.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Now it's time to turn those items into cash.
0:34:37 > 0:34:42Derek and Eleanor put in a lot of hard work to get all these people here
0:34:42 > 0:34:44with loads of money in their pockets.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47So it's about time I declare this house sale open!
0:34:47 > 0:34:48CHEERING
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Come on, then.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54The bargain hunters are quick to check out what's on offer
0:34:54 > 0:34:57but it seems there's one item that isn't for sale.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02- Not for sale - how come? - That's Eleanor's idea.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06She said, unfortunately, I can't go on the table to go.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10If I get offered the right amount of money, you're out of here.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Are you trying to buy me out?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16If you are, then I wish you every success.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20You'll try to sell anything to win this competition, Mark.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26Fortunately for me, I have a feeling Eleanor may take to the selling lark like a duck to water.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Yep, I think you could be right.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Let's see how she does with the Lloyd Loom chair,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33which I valued at £30.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- But that would go nice in your conservatory.- It would, yes.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38But I tell you, as it's you, as it's you,
0:35:38 > 0:35:42because you've helped me a lot
0:35:42 > 0:35:46and I know where it's going and I know you'll look after it,
0:35:46 > 0:35:50instead of 50, I won't charge you 50, I won't charge you 45,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I won't charge you 40, I won't charge you 45.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I tell you what, I tell you what,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57because it's you and nobody else,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59and I know you'll look after it and love it
0:35:59 > 0:36:02and give it tender loving care, you can have it for £30.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- That's amazing, don't you think? - Brilliant.- Done.- Well done.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- So what did you get for that? - £30 but it's going to a good home.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- Great.- If it was going to anywhere trashy, it wouldn't have gone.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- You don't need me at all on this. - This is a lady of class.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18This is a lady of class.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Take that, Mark. I've got a brilliant team-mate today.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24I'll give you that. Eleanor's a fantastic saleswoman.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26We're going to have to use every trick in the book
0:36:26 > 0:36:28if we're going to beat you today.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30You'll need more than your usual tricks.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32We've got another buyer lined up.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- Ah, now, then. Isn't that lovely? - That's just right for these two.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39So where did you get this from, Eleanor?
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- I had it for my 21st birthday. - Did you?- Yes.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- What shall we ask for that?- A fiver.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45A fiver. How does that sound? All right?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- There's part of my life in that. - Exactly, yes.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- How much for the box full of cash? - LAUGHTER
0:36:51 > 0:36:53£100 but only if you take it now.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54There we go.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59A fiver's not bad but your trouble is you're too nice with the buyers.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02I like to try and push my customers a little bit harder.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06We was hoping for £25 each, so £50 the pair. Deal?
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Make us an offer we can't refuse.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Erm, £5. - We can refuse that easily. Watch.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19No! Do a little bit better, please.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- £10.- What do you reckon, Derek?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- OK.- You've got yourself a deal.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- I'll hold it while you shake... - We've done it. - ..and he takes the money.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Lovely.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37With a bit of perseverance, we've made a tenner for the pair of games
0:37:37 > 0:37:38and we're not stopping there
0:37:38 > 0:37:42in our quest to make as much cash as possible.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45This belonged to Derek's great-great-grandfather
0:37:45 > 0:37:48and he's actually got tears in his eyes, look.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49It's very sentimental.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Cry, for God's sake. I'll tread on your toes.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54He's getting upset, he's getting upset.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59- Bless him. You've got to let it go, Derek, let it go. - I'll do anything for money.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02So with all that in mind, how much are you prepared to pay?
0:38:02 > 0:38:07- That wouldn't buy one arm. - Wouldn't buy one arm?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10It's got to be a note, it can't be coins. It's got to be a note.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Come on. You're a wealthy man.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Here's a note.- Right, that'll do.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Good man.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19'I've got to admit that that's a fantastic tenner you've just earned.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22'I'm not sure about your selling technique
0:38:22 > 0:38:25'but it all goes towards our target of £600.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28'While you're worrying yourself with teddies and tenners,
0:38:28 > 0:38:29'we get ready for a big deal.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32'A dealer is interested in the silver plated items.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35'He really knows his stuff, so can Eleanor seal a deal
0:38:35 > 0:38:39'and get at least the £30 I think the items are worth?'
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Most of these things, they do have a value.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44It's really depending on price when it comes down to it.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47You have some very interesting pieces here.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51These are like little sardine tongs, which is quite interesting.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54They're silver plate. It would be nice if they were silver
0:38:54 > 0:38:56but they are what they are.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00These are actually solid silver, a little pair of sugar tongs.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05I think to me, in order to get a small profit out of it,
0:39:05 > 0:39:10erm... taking the good with the bad, sort of, like, £30.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- You told me and you're the expert... - Mm-hm.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15..that if I got £30 for them, that would be a fair price.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- I only want a fair price. I don't want to rip the fellow off.- Exactly.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22I think he's been generous. Some of these are quite modern.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25I think that's exactly what I would expect to get.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27I'll take your professional advice.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30I mean, what do I know about silver? Nothing.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- You'd better shake, then, before he changes his mind.- Done.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Yeah, many thanks.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- Well, there we go.- Thank you very much indeed.- No, thank you.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- You'll have to excuse us. We need to get back onto that stall.- Sure.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Okey-dokey. Many thanks.- Thank you.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51I think Eleanor made the right decision. £30 is a great price,
0:39:51 > 0:39:54while still giving Chris a margin to make a profit.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Am I happy? I suppose so.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01There's a few pounds in it but I won't be booking a holiday on the strength of this.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04'After that deal, I think we must be in the lead.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08'You might well be, Paul, but I'm not letting that get me down.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10'There's still time to make loads of cash
0:40:10 > 0:40:14'and win today's Trash To Cash crown.'
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Spend some money.- Open your purses. - You can't not spend nothing.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22- Is the box included? - The box is an extra fiver. - As it's for you, yes.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- Here, Derek, two tureens, £5 each for this lovely lady.- Thank you.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Thank you very much. - Now I've got to cook something.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Are we allowed to kiss the customers?- Not half.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35'It helps that there's a good crowd here.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38'Time to see if I can sell the box from the spare bedroom.'
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- What's the best you can do? - Come on, what do you want?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- 20.- 20?- 20.
0:40:44 > 0:40:4620... How about 15?
0:40:50 > 0:40:55- Yes, all right, then.- Yeah.- Yeah! - As it's a lovely sunny day
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- and you're so beautiful.- Ah! - He's a sucker for pretty faces.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- 'You and Derek have clearly got a way with the ladies.- It's a gift!'
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I'll give you a fiver for that.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06You look rich and posh.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- Do I? I'm very poor.- Why have you only got one ear-ring in?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- Just kidding.- Oh!
0:41:14 > 0:41:18- Erm, is that the best you can do? - Yeah cos I just paid for that.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21You shouldn't have bought off them. How about six?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- All right.- Good girl. Isn't she lovely?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- And the best you can do is six? All right.- Take seven, go on.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29You're a lovely lady. Thank you.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33That's more money in the tin and we're making decent progress
0:41:33 > 0:41:34towards our £600 target.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38It also evens things up and the battle for the Trash To Cash crown
0:41:38 > 0:41:40is well and truly on.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- So have you agreed a price on these? - Not yet but she'll pay whatever I ask.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49You keep looking. Get your wallets out, quickly.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- Right, thanks, Eleanor. - Thank you very much.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- There we are, dear.- 20p.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Darling, we don't pence. Go over to the cheap end of town.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01How about a lovely pre-war tea service?
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- Isn't that beautiful? - It's very nice.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06You've got 12 of everything.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Come on, then, kiddo.- Lovely.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14- Go on.- Tenner?- Nice man. £10.- OK.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15'The house sale is in full flow
0:42:15 > 0:42:18'and both stalls are still taking lots of cash.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20'The question is though, who is leading?
0:42:20 > 0:42:26'Clearly, it's going to be us because we've got interest in another of our more expensive items.'
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Well, this is a real captain's chair.- Oh!
0:42:29 > 0:42:34I can't produce the captain but I can produce the chair in which he sat.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35That's a shame, eh, Ads?
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- Where's it going to be kept? - It's going to be kept at Adelaide's house
0:42:39 > 0:42:44for her grandma, so that it's easy for her to sit down in the living room.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47I know Granny, that's absolutely super.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50This is the ideal chair. It's just the right width for her.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Beautifully sturdy.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- I started this off at £75.- Ooh... - I've come down to 70.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- 70?- Yeah.- Adelaide, what shall we say? Shall we go 50?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02You can have it for 50.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Done!- How does that sound? All right?
0:43:04 > 0:43:08- Lovely to see you.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10'Eleanor, you're a born saleswoman.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13'£50 is a good result for the captain's chair.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15'Take that, Mark!
0:43:15 > 0:43:18'Well, it's pretty clear who the captain on your side is today, Paul.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20'The sale seems to be a big hit,
0:43:20 > 0:43:24'with plenty of customers happy to have picked up some bargains.'
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Those two I got for the bargain of a fiver
0:43:26 > 0:43:30and these gorgeous headphones for £10. They're brand new.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32I'm going to give it a nice home and take care of it
0:43:32 > 0:43:37in a way that's going to make this my mascot for life.
0:43:37 > 0:43:42It's been a lovely day and the sun's out as well, so we're loving it.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45'That's what I like to hear - satisfied customers.
0:43:45 > 0:43:51'Don't forget, making money isn't the only thing Derek and Eleanor need our help with.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54'We've been helping them get rid of all their unwanted junk
0:43:54 > 0:43:57'and in the process reclaim and revitalise rooms
0:43:57 > 0:43:59'that were beginning to suffer with the clutter.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02'Although the spare bedroom wasn't jam-packed with junk,
0:44:02 > 0:44:04'it was still in need of a little TLC.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07'I can't wait to see the look on Eleanor's face
0:44:07 > 0:44:09'when she sees the transformation it's undergone.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12'Money is still flowing freely at the house sale,
0:44:12 > 0:44:15'so I think it's time to take this selling showdown to a new level
0:44:15 > 0:44:18'and see who can become the master of the auction.'
0:44:18 > 0:44:20We're going to do an auction.
0:44:20 > 0:44:25Can everyone step this way, please. Right, here we are. Lot number one.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Can we have a little experiment, please?
0:44:28 > 0:44:33- Can we have all the good-looking people to the front first. - Ah, look at them!
0:44:33 > 0:44:36Look at that. Now, that's an auctioneer's gavel.
0:44:36 > 0:44:37Oh, look at that.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Order, order, order.
0:44:39 > 0:44:40Right, give us a whoo.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42- Whoo!- Right, OK.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46To the untrained eye, this looks like an ordinary ironing board
0:44:46 > 0:44:48but this has been revamped by our handyman, Danny.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52It's got a new cover on it, so who'll start me at a fiver,
0:44:52 > 0:44:54please, for the ironing board?
0:44:54 > 0:44:58£8, madam? £8 we have. £10 here at the front.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Do I see £12 anywhere?
0:45:00 > 0:45:02£10? Come on, it's worth every penny.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04£10 here at the front.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Come on, who wants to make it 15? 15 there with the lady.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11Thank you very much. £15 we have. I've got my gavel ready.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13£15 here, we have.
0:45:13 > 0:45:18OK, anybody else, then? £15. Going once, going twice...
0:45:18 > 0:45:20sold! Thank you very much. CHEERING
0:45:20 > 0:45:2315 quid. Come on through, come on through.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Bring your ironing round and I'll do it for the next three weeks.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29- Three weeks!- Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:45:29 > 0:45:33'It pains me to say it, Paul, but you got a good price there.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37'Now what we can get for the newly revived chairs from the shed?'
0:45:37 > 0:45:42These belonged to Derek. They went through university with him
0:45:42 > 0:45:45and it grieves him to sell them, doesn't it, Derek?
0:45:45 > 0:45:47- Oh, very much.- He's getting upset.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50He's crying again. Come here. Don't worry, don't worry.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53Now, I'm going to make these two chairs very cheap.
0:45:53 > 0:45:57We're going to start at just £1 for the pair. Who's got a pound?
0:45:57 > 0:45:59£1 there. Two, three.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Who's got four?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03We can do better than that, guys. Four.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Who's got a fiver? Five, six.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09Let's keep going. Six. Come on, two chairs. Seven.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Who's next? Who's got £8 for them? Eight, eight, eight.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16Who's got nine? Who's got nine? Lady at the back. £9.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Ten, there. £10.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20They're so cheap. Come on, guys.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24£11? A hand shake, there. £11. Thank you, lovely lady.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Can I see 12?
0:46:26 > 0:46:2712 there, yes, thank you.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Who's on to 14? I'm staring at you.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33Pretty please. At 14. Thank you, lovely lady.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36£15, £15? Going once, going twice.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39At £14, going to the lovely lady.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Sold. Thank you very much.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46We accept cash, cash or cash.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48'14 quid for the pair of chairs.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52'I'm happy with the price but a bit gutted that Paul made £1 more than me
0:46:52 > 0:46:53'for the ironing board.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55'Ah, the sweet smell of success.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58'But don't let the auction result get you down, Mark.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02'You should listen to the advice of your older and wiser team-mate.'
0:47:02 > 0:47:06- Well, what do you think?- I think we did extremely well.- Yeah.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08It's been a very profitable morning
0:47:08 > 0:47:11and you're really learning how to do it now, aren't you?
0:47:11 > 0:47:15- You taught me so well. - You've learnt a lot in a few days.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17You and Eleanor - I'm actually learning.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20'Everything must go now because if it doesn't sell,
0:47:20 > 0:47:22'it will go to charity,
0:47:22 > 0:47:26'so the prices are going down and the opportunities to get a bargain are going up.'
0:47:26 > 0:47:28OK, so it's the final push.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31We have a couple of oak tables here. A nice coffee table.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Some wicker baskets left.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36- We're cheap. We'll take any offer. - Any offer now.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39We're not expensive like them lot, we're cheap.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41Everything has to go. We want to clear it.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45It's all cheap, it's all got to be gone or it's going to a charity shop.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48'The end of the house sale is getting ever nearer
0:47:48 > 0:47:50'but both teams are still selling hard.'
0:47:50 > 0:47:54I would accept any - any - offer you made.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57There you go. It actually has a built-in vibrating function.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03- Can you see?- I'll give you £10. - £10, you think?
0:48:03 > 0:48:06- I'll have it for that. - It's a lovely chair for a tenner.
0:48:06 > 0:48:07That's gone.
0:48:07 > 0:48:12Between us we're focused on turning the Cryers' trash into £600.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14We're still shifting things,
0:48:14 > 0:48:19including finding somebody who's interested in the two tables from the shed.
0:48:19 > 0:48:23- You have just bought the chair which I treasured so much.- I know.
0:48:23 > 0:48:24- I know, Derek.- And now in return,
0:48:24 > 0:48:28your husband, in memory of me, would like to buy two lovely tables
0:48:28 > 0:48:32- and you're saying no, Wendy. - Your late husband.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34My soon-to-be late husband, yes.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36And you're talking to your late friend.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40- Where would I put them, Derek? - That's my problem, Wendy, is it?
0:48:40 > 0:48:41You do have my armchair.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44I will actually offer you £20 for those.
0:48:44 > 0:48:48- £20 each sounds very reasonable. - No, £20 for the two.- Sorry?
0:48:48 > 0:48:51- Do we shake hands at 30? - Oh, all right.- I'm on my knees.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54I've never had a fellow on his knees before.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57- Will you marry me? - No, I'm so happily married.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00- Well, I was until... - Phew! That was a close one.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04'Result! It looked like she wasn't going to buy them
0:49:04 > 0:49:05'but persistence has paid off.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07'30 quid is a great price
0:49:07 > 0:49:10'and it gets us back in the competition.
0:49:10 > 0:49:11'It's getting tense now
0:49:11 > 0:49:15'but Eleanor isn't letting that stand in the way of doing more deals.'
0:49:15 > 0:49:17Ladies and gentlemen, this is a job lot.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19I'm not even going to sell them separately.
0:49:19 > 0:49:24This is a job lot. I wouldn't charge you £50 for this job lot.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27I wouldn't charge you 40, 30, 20.
0:49:27 > 0:49:31I tell you what, who'll give me £15 for the lot?
0:49:33 > 0:49:36- There must be somebody there. - £12 for the lot.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38I'll give you 20 for the lot and the table.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42- The table and the lot. Done. - That's a deal. Thank you.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45- That's lovely, thank you. - All that lot and the table.
0:49:45 > 0:49:46Well done, sir.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50- That's excellent. Here we are. Sold. - Sold.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54'Another £20 to go into our cash tin will do very nicely.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58'It's a race to the end and these final sales make all the difference
0:49:58 > 0:50:00'to today's result.'
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Whatever you say I'm going to say yes.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04How about that?
0:50:04 > 0:50:06- Three quid for the lot. - I'll take it.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09I've never known anybody with designer glasses before.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11Oh, really? Well, you do now.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15- Nice to do business with you. - Thank you.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18You're an angel. Thank you very much.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20- How about a fiver?- Done!
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Take the note.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25- Money, money, money.- There we are.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27£11 will do nicely.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34And how much would like to pay for these?
0:50:34 > 0:50:39- £10.50?- Well done.- Top man. Thank you very much, Andrew.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42- Is that the last sale, do you think? - I think time is of the essence
0:50:42 > 0:50:45- and we should close the sale. - Close the sale!- It's closed.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48OK, guys, well done. Thanks for coming.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52- Oh, I need a lie down, mate. - Let's got and tot up.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Today has seen non-stop selling action.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Now there's nothing more we can do.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02The items left over will be going to a charity shop
0:51:02 > 0:51:05because don't forget, it can't go back into the house.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08We're going to find out who has made the most money today
0:51:08 > 0:51:10to be crowned Champion of the Clear-Out.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13But first it's time to find out what Eleanor thinks
0:51:13 > 0:51:16of her newly updated spare bedroom.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19Now, then, when we were here a couple of days ago,
0:51:19 > 0:51:23Derek and Mark decided that this bedroom here needed a clear-out
0:51:23 > 0:51:24- and a bit of a spruce up.- Mm.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27- OK, would you agree with that? - Yes, indeed.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30So can you describe to me what it was like this morning?
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Terribly dated.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35It had still got candlewick bedspreads on.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37How naff is that?
0:51:37 > 0:51:39Well, it's your house.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43- So you wanted to see it modernised? - Yes, brought up to date.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46Right. I'll ask you just to play along just for a second.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48If you just close your eyes and I'll lead you in
0:51:48 > 0:51:52and then open them and you can see what the team have been up to.
0:51:52 > 0:51:53Here we are. Come on in.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57After three, open your eyes and have a look at your room. Ready?
0:51:57 > 0:51:59One, two, three.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03- There you go. - My goodness.- Do you like that?
0:52:04 > 0:52:07Well, this will no longer be the spare room. I'm moving in.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10- That's great. So you like it? - It's really good.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12- I like it. That's really lovely. - Wonderful.
0:52:12 > 0:52:17- And the old bedspreads have gone. - Gone are the candlewick bedspreads.
0:52:17 > 0:52:21- Very good indeed.- And you've got rid of all that clutter.
0:52:21 > 0:52:22- Isn't it better?- Very nice.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27- So who's going to use this room now? - It will still be the guest room
0:52:27 > 0:52:30because, I mean, it's single beds.
0:52:30 > 0:52:34I'm not separating from my husband. We're in a double bed and we're staying in it.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37Well, our work here has been done
0:52:37 > 0:52:40and it's about time we found out how much money we've raised
0:52:40 > 0:52:43- and more importantly, whether we've won.- We'll go and see.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47- We'll go and see.- We'll go and see. - We can't let Derek and Mark win.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49'Eleanor clearly loves the transformation
0:52:49 > 0:52:52'and who wouldn't, with that revitalised room?
0:52:52 > 0:52:56'She and Derek now have a spare room that anyone would be proud
0:52:56 > 0:52:58'to let their guests stay in.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00'But we've also been busy throughout the house.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03'The attic was a haven of unwanted clutter
0:53:03 > 0:53:04'and forgotten bits and pieces.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07'With a bit of a tidy up and a clear-out,
0:53:07 > 0:53:09'space and order have been created.
0:53:09 > 0:53:14'The sheds were stuffed full but are now perfect to store garden furniture.
0:53:14 > 0:53:15'And that's not all.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18'We've given Eleanor a summer house cum artist's studio
0:53:18 > 0:53:22'that's not only a peaceful haven but a space to inspire works of art.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26'It's amazing the difference a good sort-out can make.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30'But now we've reached that all-important time - the results.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32'Which team has grabbed the spoils
0:53:32 > 0:53:35'and turned the most trash into cash?'
0:53:39 > 0:53:43Well, do you know what, I think me and Mark have really enjoyed ourselves.
0:53:43 > 0:53:44- Have you enjoyed it, too?- I have.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48It's now time to find out who's made the most cash.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Well, what I want to know is, who do you think has won?
0:53:51 > 0:53:54I think the A team won by a head.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57- Does that mean Eleanor?- No, no, no. You're the B team.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00- Who do you think has won? - We have won, of course.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02I've really thoroughly enjoyed myself.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05You've got some great mates and some good friends.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08So I think it's about time we had a look to see who's won.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11- On a count of three, Paul Archibald Hayes, are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13One, two, three...
0:54:14 > 0:54:18- Ooh, look at that!- You've beaten me by about 20 quid, Paul.
0:54:18 > 0:54:19That's amazing, isn't it?
0:54:19 > 0:54:22- That's excellent. - It's absolutely superb.
0:54:22 > 0:54:28- That's over £600. - Yeah, it's £677.50,
0:54:28 > 0:54:33of which you receive £338.75
0:54:33 > 0:54:37and also The Slough Crossroads, who in turn give it to the Slough Progressive Group,
0:54:37 > 0:54:41they also receive £338.75.
0:54:41 > 0:54:45- Isn't that fantastic?- Very good. - Is that all right?- That's fine.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47That's just enough for another set of golf clubs.
0:54:54 > 0:54:58'A few weeks later and Eleanor has had the chance to see first hand
0:54:58 > 0:55:01'how the money she raised is helping families in Slough.'
0:55:01 > 0:55:06Today I was down there with the children, with the mothers and dads,
0:55:06 > 0:55:08with the brothers and sisters.
0:55:08 > 0:55:12'Absolutely great to see the money that we have invested,
0:55:12 > 0:55:16'how they're using it and the benefit it's going to be to them all.'
0:55:16 > 0:55:21That was a real joy, especially to see the children.
0:55:21 > 0:55:25And there's no doubt about whether Eleanor is going to be replacing any of the unwanted clutter
0:55:25 > 0:55:27that she's now rid of.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Certainly not. We didn't need the stuff that we had.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33It's a real pleasure not to have the cupboards and drawers
0:55:33 > 0:55:36full of clutter.
0:55:36 > 0:55:40When the weather improves I intend to go down to the summer house,
0:55:40 > 0:55:44which has been converted into an artist's studio and I can't wait.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46Directly it's warm enough, I'm going down there.
0:55:46 > 0:55:50And as for the loft, I have no intention of filling that up again.
0:55:50 > 0:55:54Now it's cleared I'm going to resist the temptation
0:55:54 > 0:55:57to say to Derek, "Just pop this in the loft."
0:55:57 > 0:55:59That's gone.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08- It's been an eye-opener today. - It's been a right eye-opener.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10I've been watching you with Eleanor,
0:56:10 > 0:56:14saleswoman extraordinaire from Slough, working really hard while you stand around.
0:56:14 > 0:56:19- And Derek worked hard as well. - Derek done really well and you only just beat me.
0:56:19 > 0:56:24Right, well, tune in next time to see us turn some trash into cash.
