0:00:03 > 0:00:05What do you do if you lose large areas of your home to clutter?
0:00:05 > 0:00:08When rooms have become havens for unused and unwanted household goods?
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Well, one thing you could do is give a call
0:00:10 > 0:00:13and we will show you how, with a little bit of hard work,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17and a lot of knowledge, we can turn your trash into cash.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Today, we're in Hockley, in Essex,
0:00:34 > 0:00:38on a mission to de-clutter this house of all its unwanted items.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42From the outside, it looks like any ordinary house but, inside,
0:00:42 > 0:00:43it's a different story.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45There are places packed with clutter.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47We've already had a look round,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50so it's about time you had a look round for yourself.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52We've got a secret hoarder on our hands,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54because this front living room
0:00:54 > 0:00:58is rather lovely, perfect for entertaining.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hang on a minute, next door's also looking good.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06It's the downstairs master bedroom, recently decorated
0:01:06 > 0:01:10and not an embarrassment by any stretch.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13You could be fooled into thinking we were in the wrong house but,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17upstairs, the secret stash is revealed.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21You go past a wall of clutter to even get into the first guestroom.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And, once you're inside, it's a den of discarded debris.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33The second guestroom, on the other side of the landing, is just as bad.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38There's boxes and piles of stuff covering the room like a blanket of trash.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Back downstairs, and it's all la-di-da again.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46A lovely dining room for classy dinner parties.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52And a hi-spec kitchen that could do with a bit of a tidy-up,
0:01:52 > 0:01:53but not much more.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Only the conservatory downstairs
0:01:55 > 0:01:58gives away any idea of this home's true messy identity.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Outside, the shed is full to bursting.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03A quick look at the garage reveals
0:02:03 > 0:02:06a catastrophic collection of clutter.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08See, I wasn't kidding, was I?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11But who exactly lives in a house like this?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Well, today's mistress of mess is horticultural tutor
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Lesley Poole, who needs to learn to weed out
0:02:19 > 0:02:21the good from the bad in this clutter crisis.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Lesley has lived in this house for 23 years,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31so she's had plenty of time to squirrel stuff away.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34The house has got so cluttered because I love shopping,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38I love hoarding things and I don't throw anything away.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Well, it sounds like Lesley knows exactly what the problem is.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Now, it's just doing something about it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Lesley is a lovely lady stuck in a rut and really deserves some
0:02:48 > 0:02:52help in getting this arts and crafts home back to its best.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And we'll be turning the junk into hard cash,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59so she can spend it getting her beloved garden back in order.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04I want to spend the money on my garden, which is now out of control.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I want to to re-landscape it,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10put some new plants in and have the pleasure of it in summer.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Well, we've got a lot to get on with today.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15First, to get rid of this clutter and get the house back to
0:03:15 > 0:03:20the impressive home that lovely Lesley deserves.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And, second, to raise money by selling everything she no longer
0:03:23 > 0:03:27needs so Lesley can afford to spruce up the garden.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28We've certainly got plenty to do,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32but we've got some help in the form of Lesley's best friend,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Olwyn, who knows the clutter is down to Lesley helping others.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40I think Lesley's house has got a bit cluttered over the last few years
0:03:40 > 0:03:43because she's a very busy lady, working full-time,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45and she's very busy, also, with her church commitments.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48This is just what she needs to help her get everything
0:03:48 > 0:03:51back into order and how she would like it.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56So our challenge is set and help is at hand.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58But before we go on any further,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Lesley must agree to the all-important Trash To Cash deal.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Now, Lesley, here's the deal. I know you wanted to make £300 here today.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10And me and Mark obviously will help you all we can but,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12in exchange for our expertise and our advice,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15and that of the Trash To Cash team, I'd like you to make exactly
0:04:15 > 0:04:18the same amount of money again for a good cause of your choosing.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Do you agree?- Yes, I do.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And, to do this properly, all the items we decide to de-clutter have to go.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Nothing goes back in.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- So, anything that's left over will be donated to charity.- Yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Do you agree to that? - I do agree to that.- Amazing.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Well, that's good news. You've agreed to the Trash To Cash deal.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39So what I want to do now, just to add a bit of fun, spice it up,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43and a bit of healthy competition, is split us into two teams.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47We can have the blondies, with a big dash of grey, against the brunettes.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- How does that sound? - It sounds amazing.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Let's get de-cluttering. Come on, let's go.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00All of us will be working hard to clear out this fabulous 1920s house
0:05:00 > 0:05:03and restore it to its former glory, as well as making £600.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Whichever team makes the most money will be crowned
0:05:06 > 0:05:08the Trash To Cash king and queen.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14We'll be selling to dealers and local shops,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17as well as holding a grand house sale.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19We also have the services of handyman Danny Wood,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22who can repair, refurbish or revitalise all manner of things
0:05:22 > 0:05:25to be sold at our very own auction.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Right now, though, time to get on with it.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Now, Lesley, I know you're a really keen gardener.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- I bet this garden looks fantastic in the summer.- Yes, yes.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Do you have lots of interesting plants and bits and pieces?- Yes.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41But there must be one or two things you want to get rid of.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Yes, there are a number of things.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Things that aren't being used. I spotted these.- Yes.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48So, when's the last time you used these plant pots?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Er, about three, four years ago. - There we go.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- So those are surplus to requirements.- Yes.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55What are they, like a plant pot or a hanging basket?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- That's a hanging basket. - Yes.- And a sundial.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59These are great things for our house sale.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01They're cast iron, they last forever.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03They're in a nice condition.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- I think you've got maybe £10 or £15 easily on those.- OK.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Maybe even a little bit more on the day.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11But tell me about this sad table here. I'm really upset about this.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Why has this got into this sort of state?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17It's been standing out in the garden summer and winter.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22It hasn't been worked on and it's just deteriorated.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Do you know what? Wood is surprisingly durable.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27If it's varnished and if it's painted, it will last you forever.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29The sad thing is, when these items come outside,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32if they're neglected for a short term, they can end up like this.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34But there are different types of wood.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I mean, this is a soft wood, possibly pine or a cheaper material.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40This one, on the other hand, is teak and that will last forever.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44If that's varnished, that will do you a lifetime, that one.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- So this one needs a little bit of restoration.- It does.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- But it's your lucky day.- Good.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52On-site here today, we have our fabulous handyman, Danny.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54And he's looking for a project to do.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I think he can revamp that, rejuvenate it, recover it,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59do something with it to bring it back to life.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02And I think that's perfect for our house sale.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Does that sound all right to you? - It sounds very good.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07All right. And I think, on the day, maybe £10 or £15 upwards.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Depends on what it looks like when it comes back.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11So we've already got maybe 25, 30 quid there in those two.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12All those bits and pieces,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- those plastic buckets, can they go? - Yes, they can.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Bits of rope, plant pots. We'll clear all this lot.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20You could have 50 quid in this little area here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22That's good.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25So we'll gather everything together and, hopefully,
0:07:25 > 0:07:26we'll have a good sale.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28But I can see that Olwyn and Mark have started on the shed.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31So we'll leave them to it. I think it's a bit cold out.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Shall we go inside?
0:07:32 > 0:07:33A bit cold?!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35What happened to Northern grit?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Us not-so-soft Southerners aren't going to let the cold
0:07:38 > 0:07:40stop our quest for cash.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44And with Olwyn by my side, we're going to be some team.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Now, what do you see?
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Erm, I can see broken deckchairs, broken bikes, lots of empty boxes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54What's the collective term for the lot?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Junk?- Yes, exactly.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Do you know what I see?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- I see money waiting to happen.- Right.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Definitely.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Right, a pair of deckchairs, the weather's started to turn.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Suddenly, the summer will be upon us.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10These deckchairs have got holes in and are looking a little bit tired.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13But we've got Dan, Dan-Dan the DIY man, who can refurb those,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16turn them into a matching pair and make them very saleable.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Good.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Deckchairs, definitely got to be a tenner each.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24So, suddenly, there's £20 sitting there, with a little bit of work.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Right, moped.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Mopeds are good for the environment, compared to cars.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33They're lower emissions, they use less fuel.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36All in all, they're cheaper to run, so they're coming back into vogue.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- You'll see more and more mopeds on the road.- OK.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42This is about 30 years old.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43The term moped was first used in the early 1950s,
0:08:43 > 0:08:48I think it was about 1952, by a Swedish guy called Nilsen who
0:08:48 > 0:08:52got the word motorbike and pedal and put them together with moped.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54This could be put back on the road
0:08:54 > 0:08:57without much trouble because there's not a lot can go wrong with them.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- So my team has found a buyer for this who is going to come to us.- Great.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Nice. And I reckon that's a £50 note all day long.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Super.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Push bikes. Again, better for the environment than actual mopeds.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12With a bit of oil, couple of new inner tubes,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- this could be back on the road in no time.- Good.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16We've got another one there,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19so I'm looking at another couple of £10 notes sitting there.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23I'm seeing here, collectively, £100. What do you reckon to that?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Great. Super.- Not bad.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26And she gets her shed back.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Yes. Yeah, that's a bonus.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Are you warm or cold?- Cold!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Me too. Let's go indoors. Come on.- OK.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Well, the cold may have got to us in the end but there are some cracking
0:09:35 > 0:09:40items in the shed that should put me and Olwyn on the path to victory.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42We'll see about that.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44But, in the meantime,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46it's not only about money, money, money today.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Our mission is to also clear out this impressive house
0:09:50 > 0:09:52so Lesley can enjoy it again.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Ah, now then, Lesley.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I wanted to ask you about this house.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I mean, how old is this house?
0:09:58 > 0:09:59It was built in 1927.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Right. I think it's fantastic.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Is that the original panelling in the hall?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Yes, it's all original.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Well, it's amazing. But this room, to be honest, lets it down.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I mean, what do you actually use this room for?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Erm, to store the clutter.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Yes, I can see that. - And the computer. That's all.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Right. And what, in an ideal world, would you like to use this room for?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22To be my workroom, my restroom, my study.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Right, OK.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27So is it all right with you if I send in our fabulous makeover team
0:10:27 > 0:10:30and they turn it into something that you can use?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Does that sound all right to you?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34That sounds absolutely super!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Give it a bit of a makeover. But we have to de-clutter first.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I can see something straightaway, this stool.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- If I said maybe five or ten quid for that at the house sale...- Yes.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- That sound all right? - That sounds all right.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- All right, so that's a start, isn't it?- It is.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49And, tell me, whose are all these Dickens books?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Charles Dickens is my favourite author.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Wonderful!- They're mine.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I've seen lots and lots of this.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I think this is either the Oxford Press or the Reader's Digest.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00They were massive manufacturers of these books, 1960s, 1970s.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02And people did buy them for that reason,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04they would put them in the cabinet and sell them by the yard.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08But the end result is we have almost as-new condition books.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I think they're great.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11I'd say a pound or a couple of pounds each,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13which is about 20 quid in that box there.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16That's the way you want to look at it for them. All right.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19But what I really wanted to ask you about is this fabulous table here.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Where has this come from?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23When the house was bought, the people moving out
0:11:23 > 0:11:27didn't want to take that with them, so they left it behind.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Oh, right.- It's been downstairs as a telephone table.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32And now it's a computer desk.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35There was a time you could buy this sort of antique furniture in the 1950s.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38But this goes back a lot earlier than that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42You're looking maybe 1820, 1830, right at the beginning of the 19th century.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43And it's a type of occasional table.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Does it tilt up at the top?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Yes, it does.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48They're often called a Loo table, and its name is from
0:11:48 > 0:11:50the game of cards, Lanterloo, that was the card table.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53But the idea was that it would be pressed against the wall
0:11:53 > 0:11:56and it was a space-saving device,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59then brought out and used occasionally when they wanted to do it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02But the whole thing is beautifully, beautifully made.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06This is flame mahogany. It has a lovely rich red colour.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Then you've got this central column here on this pedestal,
0:12:09 > 0:12:10which supports the whole thing.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Quadruped legs and then squashed bun feet.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15A bit like myself!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19But in the antique world, very, very, very collectable.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23So I think we need to recycle that again to someone that is interested in antiques.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Yes.- And I think you're looking £120, maybe £150.- OK, yes.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Does that sound all right to you? - Yes, that sounds very good to me.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32All right, OK.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I know that the team have made a few phone calls
0:12:34 > 0:12:36and there is a gentleman interested in having a look at it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- OK.- So hopefully, we can sell it. Do you fancy an afternoon out?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Yes. The sun's shining. - I'll buy you an ice cream!- Yes, OK.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44But there's one other thing I want to ask you about.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I found a pair of leather pants.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49You don't mind me asking about that, do you? Are they yours?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Yes, they do belong to me. - Right, OK.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53So dare I ask where they came from?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Erm...- We're all adults here.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Yes, yes. Well, they were bought so that I could ride a motorbike,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- or pillion on a motorbike. - Oh, right.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03OK, and I did wear them a couple of times.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Do they still fit?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Well, I'll leave you to make that decision!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well, they don't fit me, cos I tried them on already.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14But if I said sort of 20, 25 quid, those are good quality.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- I'm sure they would cost a lot more to buy new.- Yes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19And there are a couple of jackets, as well, in there.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Yes, in the box underneath.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Do you want to keep those?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25No, no. No, my motorbike days are finished.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Look at these. These are really good quality ones.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30These have protective shoulders and so on.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I'll borrow one of these next time I tell Mark a good joke, all right?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Because he usually hits me afterwards!- OK.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- I mean, you're looking at £15, £20 a jacket easily for those. - Yes, easily.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42So you've got at least 50 quid there.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45But I think the main thing we need to concentrate on is the table.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47And I think we need to get cracking, eh?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Yes, let's go.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Let's see if we can beat the other two.- Yes.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Lesley really seems to be enjoying herself.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Maybe it's the thought of turning this mess into money.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You may be having a good time, but Olwyn and I are too,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03as we're about to start selling, and I'm going to turn Olwyn
0:14:03 > 0:14:07from a lovely shy lady into a selling machine.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- I tell you what, it doesn't look too bad out of that shed, does it?- No.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15With a little bit of TLC, this could be scooting around town in no time.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Right.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Now, what are you like at haggling and negotiating and selling?
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Well, I'll do my best.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Are you any good?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24I try.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27OK, I'm going to give you a tip on how best to sell these.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Now, the guy is interested already, so when he's here,
0:14:30 > 0:14:31encourage him to get on it.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Get him to pull the levers, really encourage him to be involved in it.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36OK.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And I think you'll be all right.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40And, as you said, a bit of elbow grease
0:14:40 > 0:14:41and it's back on the road.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44We're looking at roundabout 50 quid,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- so this is where YOU have to push him on to get a bit more money.- Right.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Don't forget, we have to beat them too, in this competition.- OK, right.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Are you ready to sell? - Yeah, certainly am.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Let's get selling.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58You may think you're racing to victory with that moped,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00but I'm sure our antique table will make us a mint.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03We've jumped into the Trash To Cash van
0:15:03 > 0:15:06and are off to a local dealer to see if Lesley's got what it takes
0:15:06 > 0:15:10to get the £120 to £150 I think our table is worth.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13But, on the way, I want to find out how Lesley feels
0:15:13 > 0:15:15about the colossal clear-out.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17So how do you think it's going?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- I think it's going very well. Yes, I really do.- Glad to hear it.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I hope we sell this table. Are you excited about selling this table?
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Yes, I am.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27OK, well, a little tip for you.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30One thing I picked up from being in the trade a long time is that,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33rather than stand next to him, like me and you are now, try and stand
0:15:33 > 0:15:37in front of him or opposite him and try and read what he's thinking.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And, sometimes, he'll give away whether something's too expensive
0:15:39 > 0:15:42or he's not really interested, by his expressions.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And that way, then, you can know whether you can ask him
0:15:45 > 0:15:47for another tenner or whether you've got enough.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Yes. OK.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- And then agree a price.- Yes.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52We have a price in mind, don't we?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Yes, we do have a price in mind. - Good stuff. All right.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Good luck.- Yes.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- OK, Jim, it's great to see you. - Thanks for taking the time.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04You've got a fantastic place here. I love it, actually.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05This is Lesley.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Lesley, pleased to meet you.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09And this, obviously, is the table that Lesley's wishing to sell.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11What a cracker, isn't it? It's a beauty.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12It's a nice table. Can I just look at it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15What sort of thing do you look for when you're looking at a table like this?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Well, first of all, I'd look for the originality of it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22It's got the original clasps and all the furniture there.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It's not been messed around with.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28There's no other screw holes, anything like that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- The top's not warped.- That's right. - That's what I'd look for.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33It looks in pretty good, original condition, to me.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Well, it sounds like you are interested, then.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- I know Lesley wants to get rid of it.- Yes, I do.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40What have you been using this for?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I've used it in the conservatory as a tea table.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47I've used it as a telephone table and, lately, as a computer table.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49So it's a 19th-century computer table?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Yeah, a 19th-century computer table.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52THEY LAUGH
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Well, great. Obviously, you want to get rid of this, Lesley.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Jim, it sounds like you're interested in buying it.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It's down to you two to work out a price.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01But you have a price in mind, Lesley?
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Yes, I do. £150?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04You've probably heard that dark brown furniture is
0:17:04 > 0:17:06pretty much out of fashion at the moment.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Yes.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09So what we would have paid for this a few years ago,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I'd be glad to buy it for that sort of price.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- But not now. The prices have come tumbling down.- Yes.- More like £100.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20I've got to say that Lesley's squaring up to Jim,
0:17:20 > 0:17:21just like I said.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26But this dealer knows he'll have to add a bit on to make a profit when he sells it himself.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28So this could be a tricky negotiation.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31How is Olwyn getting on?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33At the house, Dave Evans, a private buyer,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36has arrived and is giving the moped a once-over.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40And Olwyn is shaping up to be quite the wheeler dealer.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Do you want to sit on it? Have a seat.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Got all that support. Look at that. There we are.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- It's not seized, is it?- No.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Sounded like it was about to go then.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Other than that, for an '80s model machine,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57it's not in too bad a condition.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Have you seen the mileage? Tell him about the mileage.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Yes, the mileage is 5,800. Very low mileage.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06This could be third time round, but never mind.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08THEY LAUGH
0:18:08 > 0:18:10So I think that could be quite a project.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Well, the tyres look in good condition, don't they?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Yes, they lack a little bit of air, but we can soon put some of that in.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Air's free!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Air's free, yeah.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21'Nice work, Olywn!'
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Right, guys, I think we need to start talking about money.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So, David, are you going to make us an offer?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29About £40, something like that.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33'That's not bad, but I think it should sell for at least 50 quid.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35'Come on, Olwyn, give it your best shot!'
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Ooh, we were thinking a bit more. - A little bit more.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44£50.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Not 55?- No, £50.
0:18:46 > 0:18:4851.
0:18:48 > 0:18:4951!
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- OK, well done!- That extra pound might make all the difference.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- You never know.- Thank you very much. - Are you happy with that?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Thank you, Dave.- Thank you. - Good deal.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58'Great stuff!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01'I didn't think Olwyn would hold her nerve and push for a higher price,
0:19:01 > 0:19:05'but she kept on going beyond the £50 mark.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08'She's turned out to be a mean negotiator.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11'£51 is a great result.'
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Well, you may be happy with your £51, but I'm hoping
0:19:13 > 0:19:16to make far more for our antique table.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The dealer doesn't want to pay over £100,
0:19:19 > 0:19:25but I hope Lesley perseveres, so we get closer to my 120 to £150 estimation.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Can we go up a bit from £100? - We can always go up a bit.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Yeah, come on then.- £110.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Bit more, 120?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Er, I've got to be very careful
0:19:35 > 0:19:37because of the economic situation as it is.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40It's very difficult at the moment, but 120 would be my top price.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Deal.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Thanks a lot.- Sounds like a deal to me. And there's one thing, Jim.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- You've got free delivery. - Thank you.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Nicely done. That's a big sale and Lesley's a happy lady.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Paul gave me a tip to use when haggling, which was to watch
0:19:56 > 0:20:00the eyes of the man I'm trying to sell to.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04And I think I used it reasonably well.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07You certainly did. And off the back of that great sale,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10let's take a look at our running totals.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I must admit, I'm feeling pretty confident,
0:20:14 > 0:20:18because our antique table got us a whopping £120.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20That's got to put me in pole position.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I have to hand it to you, that was a good sale.
0:20:22 > 0:20:28But we've got £51 for our moped and this contest is far from over.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34There you are, then, Mark. How does it feel to be on the losing team for once?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Hey-hey! We're in the lead.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37The day's not over yet.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41You're doing all right today, but I'm so set up for the house sale,
0:20:41 > 0:20:42I'm going to whup you!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45You might be doing OK today, but it's not over
0:20:45 > 0:20:47until the fat lady starts singing.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58So we've made a good start in our effort to reach our £600 target,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01but today isn't only about making money.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04It's also about getting rid of all the clutter from Lesley's home.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09The Trash To Cash clutter-busters have been hard at work.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Outside, things have started to take shape in the shed and the garage.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14And, upstairs, we're concentrating
0:21:14 > 0:21:18on transforming one of the bedrooms into a study.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'm sure Lesley's looking forward to seeing
0:21:20 > 0:21:22how it looks when it's finished.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26But before then, I want to find out more about where all this
0:21:26 > 0:21:29money we are raising from Lesley's clutter is going to.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31How does it feel, now the house is taking shape
0:21:31 > 0:21:35and becoming less cluttered?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I'm so excited.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42I've got so many things I want to do and now it's getting less cluttered,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46and my mind's racing away with how I want it to look.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Fantastic.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50So it's really spurred you on to do the rest of the house
0:21:50 > 0:21:51and to keep moving with it.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Yes.- We've kickstarted it for you. - Yes, you have.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Fantastic. Now, at the beginning of the day,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59we said that obviously, we wanted to raise £300 for yourself,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01but we have to raise £300 for a good cause.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Have you had a think about that? Have you come up with your charity?
0:22:04 > 0:22:09The charity is Send a Cow,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13which is the Hockley Community Church harvest project.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I'm a member of the church.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Send a Cow?- Send a Cow. - What does that do?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22It provides money for a cow to be purchased for a farmer
0:22:22 > 0:22:27in Africa, which then provides milk for the family.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32Any surplus milk is sold on to the community and funds go back to the
0:22:32 > 0:22:36farmer and he can increase either his herd or equipment he might need.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Oh, that's fantastic.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- So just a cow can make a massive difference?- Yes.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Well, don't forget charity starts at home.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45So have you decided what to do with your half of the money?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Yes, I have.- And what's that?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Revamp the garden.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It's been neglected for a few years.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53and needs some work doing on it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I've got a plan, what I want to do.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00So is there any particular project in your garden that you want to do?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Extend the sitting area and then, at the bottom of the garden,
0:23:04 > 0:23:05which gets most of the sun,
0:23:05 > 0:23:10I want to put in a lawn so that I can sit in the sun for longer.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14And, by the summer, I'll be able to sit out there in my garden chair,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17looking at the garden and remembering what fun I've had today.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- It's been absolutely fabulous! - It has.- Really fabulous.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Hard work, but great fun. - Yes, great fun.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Spending the day with you has been absolutely fabulous, has it, Paul?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Would've been even better if she'd been with me.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Olwyn's having a lovely time and I'm hoping to serve up even more
0:23:36 > 0:23:39money on a plate or, actually, many plates.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Now, it's a nice hallway
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and I've been told these set of eight plates can go.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Right.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50What do you think of that?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- It's very pretty.- You like that? - Blue tits, yes. Very pretty.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Let's spin it over and have a look.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Now, these things are the devil's work because these,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02as they get older, can get tighter and can damage the back of the plate.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Mm-hm.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Look at the back there, World Wildlife Fund 1985.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Look at the dust. You can write your name in it!
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Don't tell Lesley!- I won't say a word. But what have we got there?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Eight. Got to be a fiver each.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16That's 40 quid, just sitting there waiting to happen.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- That's good.- And de-clutter the hallway a little bit.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Now, what do you reckon to this cabinet here?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Yeah, it's very nice. Bookcase.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26What's it made out of, what timber?
0:24:28 > 0:24:29- Oak?- Spot-on.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Better than Paul Hayes!
0:24:31 > 0:24:34And, if we open it up, you've got leaded glass on the front
0:24:34 > 0:24:37and you've got these lovely little blue panels, which is really nice.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Good place to store books,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41but I've also been informed that a lot of these books can go.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Oh, good. - So the cabinet can go with it.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44The cabinet can go in the house sale.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46We've got to be looking at 40 to 60 quid.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49And the books, there's got to be another tenner's worth there,
0:24:49 > 0:24:50if not £20 worth, easily.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53So this hallway has got £100 in it, whatever happens.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Great.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Who is this little girl here?- That's Lesley's lovely daughter, Stephanie.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Isn't she gorgeous? - Yeah, she's lovely.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Right, into the conservatory, because there's something in there
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- I want to talk to you about.- OK.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08You get all the luck. Some good stuff there, Mark.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10At least that should help us reach our £600 target.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13But, don't forget, we're not just here to make money.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16We're also trying to help Lesley restore her home
0:25:16 > 0:25:19to its former glory.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Our team of clutter-busters have been clearing out this place.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26And one of the guestrooms has been given a great big shape-up,
0:25:26 > 0:25:31with the bric-a-brac shipped out and a touch of class brought in.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33But how will it go down with Lesley?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39OK, Lesley, now, cast your mind back.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42We were in this room earlier on today and it was a bit cluttered.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Describe what it was like.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Very cluttered.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Things on the bed. Things on the floor.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Lots of clutter.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52What would you like to see that room being used for?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56For me to use the computer at a desk. Just to be comfortable.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Well, I think you're going to be absolutely delighted.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Our makeover team have been in there all day,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04and it's time now to show you what they've done.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06So, after three, I want you to have a good look round
0:26:06 > 0:26:08and tell me what you think.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10One, two, three!
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Oh, that's beautiful!
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Isn't it amazing?- Oh, it's amazing.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18It really is.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Oh, how gorgeous!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Oh, it's fantastic!- There we are.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26The computer's all set up.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- And somewhere to sit and read.- Yes!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- It's fantastic.- Does it make you smile?- Oh, it does make me smile.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32That is gorgeous.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Oh, it's really, really wonderful.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38I can't believe this has happened to me!
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Oh, it's wonderful.- That's great.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Thank you so much.- You're welcome.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Wow! She seems to love it, and what a difference it's made.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Under all that stuff was this pretty period bedroom.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54And with the right finishing touches,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57it's now a room that fits in with the rest of the house.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Lesley obviously loves her home,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02so seeing it come back to life under clutter must be a real joy.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Oh, yes. But it's that clutter that we're going to
0:27:05 > 0:27:11turn into cash in order to reach our £600 target at the house sale.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14And, talking of cash, I want to get my hands on some more of it!
0:27:14 > 0:27:16So, time to get back to digging through the clutter.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20- Now, these can go.- Mm-hm.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24If you bought these at a garden centre, they'd be quite expensive.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Yes.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Effectively, they are second-hand now,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30but at a house sale, they've got to be £10, £15 each.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Mm, easily.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- They're lovely, aren't they? - Yes. Brand new.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Do you want to go a bit more? - I'll try.- We can always try.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39You can always go down, but you can't go up.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Now, there's a jardiniere there with a stand.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45That's in perfect condition. £10, £15?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- Easily.- Yeah, got to be, hasn't it?- Mm, good.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51This room hasn't really been used for its proper potential,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55perhaps since Christmas was the last time it was used, don't you think?
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Possibly.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58She loves her garden, doesn't she?
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Yes, absolutely.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03So, rather than having a dumping ground, overlooking the garden,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06why don't we get the makeover team to come in
0:28:06 > 0:28:09and make this room into a beautiful space?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- That would be fantastic. She'd be over the moon.- OK.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Giving this room a makeover will mean it finally fits in with
0:28:15 > 0:28:16the rest of the house
0:28:16 > 0:28:21and horticultural Lesley will be able to enjoy her garden again.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24But, to reach our total, I need a big-money boost,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28and I think that's exactly what's lurking in the garage.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Now, look, this garage is full of boxes.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Boxes full of stuff, or clutter.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Now, what does that really mean?
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Money!
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Yes, you know it, don't you?- Yeah. - We've got loads of books there.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48More books in there. And books are one of the best things for recycling.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49Look at that. My East End.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50That's lovely.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53A History Of Cockney London. Are you a Cockney?
0:28:53 > 0:28:55I was born in Paddington.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Are you Paddington Bear?
0:28:56 > 0:28:57- Er, no.- OK.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Books do sell quickly at house sales.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03There's got to be five, ten quid's worth there. A couple of boxes.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Lovely. Good hardbacks.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Great way of recycling is to keep reading and selling books on.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Moving them around.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11These boxes are full of stuff.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12What does stuff make?
0:29:12 > 0:29:14- Money!- You're right.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Let's move down there. Have a look at that big green monster over there.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Do you know what it is?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- No.- It's a MIG welder.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- Right.- You look none the wiser.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25No.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Quite simply, the gas in there, compressed gas, comes out the end
0:29:28 > 0:29:32of this thing here, you pull the trigger and this feeds outwards.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34It's like copper wire.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38It heats up and then it melts and welds two pieces of metal together.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41These are still being used today in garages all over the country.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45But the actual origin of welding goes right back to Egyptian times.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48There's pictures on the tombs of a form of welding.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Not the same as this, obviously, because they didn't have electricity.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54But it's a nice bit of kit. It's in good condition.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Now, our team have found a buyer for this, so we have to get them
0:29:57 > 0:29:59to put it in the van and we're going to the seaside.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- Oh, good!- Do you fancy a 99?- Super.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Flake? Crushed nuts?- Sounds good.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08As well as everything we're collecting for the stalls,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11don't forget we've had our fabulous handyman Danny working on
0:30:11 > 0:30:14some items that will be sold on at our auction during the house sale.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17He's been working on my weather-damaged wooden table and,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20if you have a similar table to repair, here's how to do it.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24First, remove any rotten pieces of wood
0:30:24 > 0:30:28and old nails from the original structure.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Next, replace the new wood
0:30:30 > 0:30:34and attach to the frame with non-corrosive screws, like brass,
0:30:34 > 0:30:37and saw the planks of wood to fit the shape of a table.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Finally, brush down any debris
0:30:40 > 0:30:43and paint the table with an exterior wood paint.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47And there it is, a tired table, now ready for a new home.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Well, it's certainly an improvement, but I know that my done-up deckchairs
0:30:50 > 0:30:54will be a far better buy at the auction.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58First, brush down the frame to remove any dirt.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Paint with exterior wood paint,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03leave to dry and give a second coat, if need be.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Finally, cut out the material, loop it round the entire frame
0:31:06 > 0:31:09and attach in place with a staple gun.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11And that's it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12A chair to rival your table.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16But who will come out on top and have an awesome auction at our house sale?
0:31:25 > 0:31:28It's been a long day clearing out clutter from Lesley's
0:31:28 > 0:31:30beautiful 1920s home.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35We've transformed one of her guest bedrooms into a fantastic study
0:31:35 > 0:31:39and we've also made £171 so far
0:31:39 > 0:31:41by selling a moped
0:31:41 > 0:31:43and an occasional table.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46There's no doubt we've got a lot done but, despite the hour,
0:31:46 > 0:31:48there's still more work to do.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51It's getting late in the day now, isn't it?
0:31:51 > 0:31:52It's getting dark.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57Well, this is a great big room here, but it's full of clutter again.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- Yes.- You're quite a hoarder, really, aren't you?
0:31:59 > 0:32:00I am, really. Yes, I am.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03But you've got lots of interesting little bits and pieces.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- But, tell me, can this cupboard go, or this wardrobe?- It goes.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08All right. Well, this is actually quite a nice one.
0:32:08 > 0:32:111920s, 1930s. Think of Hecule Poirot,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13the whole sort of art deco era.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15What I like about these is they're all solid wood.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16This is solid walnut.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Beautiful figured wood.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20And it's been decorated with butterfly veneering.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Have you heard of that before? - Yes, I have.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Well, there you are.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26The basic idea is, that's one piece of veneer, which is this big.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29That's cut into very, very thin slices
0:32:29 > 0:32:32and then transposed and placed in four different directions.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34What you end up with is almost like a herringbone,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37or a butterfly effect. That's on both of these doors.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39But what's wonderful about these wardrobes is
0:32:39 > 0:32:42that you get these individual compartments.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44You've got shirts, you've got pyjamas, you've got socks.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46It's a wonderful thing to have.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47And it's very functional.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Now, you know as well as I know about Victorian furniture.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52They're quite narrow.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54What's lovely about this 1930s furniture is that
0:32:54 > 0:32:56the way that the shirts and the jackets go in,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59is that they go in this way, instead of going that way.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01What happens with the Victorian furniture
0:33:01 > 0:33:04is that you can't close the door.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06These will fit the modern style suits, as we're a lot bigger now.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Yes, yes, we are.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10I think you could get maybe 30, possibly even £50 for that.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Does that sound all right to you? - It sounds great to me.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16And I think, rather than try and drag it down the stairs ourselves,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18we should try and find a buyer for it.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19Let someone else worry about shifting it.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22If we work on that sort of figure, we'll see what we can do.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Having cleared out loads of Lesley's clutter, our time has come to an end.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29We've been through the house all day, saving it from piles
0:33:29 > 0:33:33of bric-a-brac and getting this house back to its original splendour.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36We'll see more of Lesley's new home later.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40But after a long day rooting through the rubbish,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42it's time to catch up with the opposition.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45So, there we are. The evening is upon us, as you can see.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Paul, in Essex, we call this night-time.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- OK, well, it almost is night-time, isn't it?- Yes.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50But we're doing OK. We're in the lead.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Oh, we're in the lead! We sold a table for 120 quid.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Do you want a medal?!
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- We sold the moped, didn't we? - Yes.- £51.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58What have you got for the house sale?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Well, we've reckoned up about £150 worth for the house sale.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Is that all? What have you been doing all day?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- Oh, we've been busy enough. - Have we got about £200?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- I think so.- Different class, see?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10You've got to sell it all first.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- Have you had fun today? - Yes, fantastic day.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14I don't even need to ask!
0:34:14 > 0:34:16All right, guys, the important thing you've got to remember
0:34:16 > 0:34:19is you've got to get in touch with friends, family, relatives,
0:34:19 > 0:34:23neighbours, even people you don't like, get them to the house sale,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- because that's when we need to make the real money.- Yes.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27All right, then.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28- Paul, put the kettle on.- OK.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37After our big clear-out, Lesley and the team have been inviting
0:34:37 > 0:34:40as many people as possible to come and spend
0:34:40 > 0:34:42some cash at the house sale.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44And with £600 to make, just from selling her clutter,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46there's a lot to do.
0:34:46 > 0:34:51We've already made £171 from private sales when we were here last.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56But there's still loads more money to make from these lovely customers.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59It's been over a week now since we visited Lesley's house
0:34:59 > 0:35:01and helped to clear out all that unwanted clutter.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Now it's time to turn those items into cold, hard cash.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Due to a lot of hard work,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08there's been a great turnout of these lovely people.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12And they all want to spend their money so, without further ado,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I'm going to declare this house sale open!
0:35:15 > 0:35:17ALL: Yay!
0:35:17 > 0:35:18There are plenty of people here.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22All we have to do is to make sure they find something they like
0:35:22 > 0:35:23and part with their cash.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Too right. And with all Lesley's gardening equipment,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29I'm hoping to grow a healthy profit.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Well, we're selling the shovel and the spade together.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34You just want to buy the spade on its own?
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Yeah.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Make me an offer I can't refuse.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41I don't know how much they're worth.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43I went to the garden centre. They had them there.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44They were £30 each, brand-new.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46On my budgie's life, I wouldn't lie to you.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- Really?- Yes.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49I'm not so sure about that.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52But, obviously, we're not going to get that for it today.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55But it is brand-new. Make me an offer.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56I'll give you a tenner for both.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Oh, I think that's quite a mean offer.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Well, I'm mean.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04How about a tenner each?
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- I'll give you £15. - You be quiet, you.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07She's the one with the money.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I'm the one with the money.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Do a score and we'll have a deal.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Come on, please. I beg you.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Look at that.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16What a lovely lady.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Thank you very much.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- Lovely.- Dig for victory.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25So, they've gone from cluttering up the conservatory to a £20 note.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26I dig that!
0:36:26 > 0:36:30And Lesley's green-fingered cast-offs from the garden
0:36:30 > 0:36:32will hopefully make me money too.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35I really like these, actually. They were in the garden.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Or you can have them with the tops off.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39These come off and then you can use them as freestanding baskets.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41I just want the one.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42- So £10, is that all right?- Yes.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44That's lovely.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Can I have the money? - Thank you very much.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Lesley's gardenware is going down wonders with her horticultural neighbours.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54But this young customer doesn't look like a gardener.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Ah, now then. I've got just the thing for you.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58This actually was named after you, Chattabox.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Is that right, Mum?
0:36:59 > 0:37:00Is he a real chatterbox?
0:37:00 > 0:37:02How about some leather-bound books on Charles Dickens?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Good bedtime reading.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07I think they're a bit hard for him.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Yes, I think he needs to grow a bit.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I think he does. How about some dolls? Would you like some dolls?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15No. Can we sell you anything?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Ice hockey? Oh, wow!
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Is that for you?
0:37:19 > 0:37:20That's awesome.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24This one's £5, but we are open to offers, Toby.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Do you have any pocket money on you?
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Well, seeing as that game's named after you, I'll throw that one in.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32How about a fiver for those two?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Well, we got two children's games.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39An ice/air hockey game and we've got a Chattabox game for his brother.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I thought the best haggler was Lesley, I think. Yeah.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Another sale, Mark. You may be on thin ice here.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47We'll see about that, Paul.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Young man, are you buying the trolley jack?- I am.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- Excellent. How much would you like to pay for it?- £10.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56200? I like you.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58You're good. Do you want a job?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Did you say 200? What did you say?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04I'll give you a tenner for it.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Can you make it 11?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Yeah, go on, then. - Good man, put it there.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Top man. Thank you very much.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Every extra pound helps.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16You need every extra pound today, Mark,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18as we're swamped with customers.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21How much is your mirror over there?
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Well, we're hoping to get £20 but we're open to offers, Caroline.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Do you want to have a closer look at it?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30I'll see if it will fit in the boot of my car.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Well, they're back-on screws, so we can take the mirror off.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35It's got a screw.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38There we go. If I just bring this over here.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Do you want a new mirror, Freddie? - Do you like that mirror?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43It's very attractive. There's only one snag, though.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47I don't know what it is about mirrors, but there's always that bloke looking at me.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49That's a bad joke, even by your standards!
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- Shall we buy the mirror? - Is that all right, Fred?- Yeah.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- That's excellent. Thank you very much.- Yes, thank you.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the best salesman on these stalls?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03We are! Because we must be well ahead of you so far today, Mark.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05That's what you think!
0:39:05 > 0:39:09I'm afraid to say I'm about to wipe that smile off your face.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Because before we started today, Olwyn and I popped down to
0:39:12 > 0:39:16nearby Southend to try and sell our welder from the garage. And...
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Go on, then. Sell away!
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Hello, Lawrence.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26This is an Oxford welder MIG 120 that we've got for sale today.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28How much are you looking for?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Well, it's in good nick, isn't it?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Yes, it's excellent condition. It's very little used.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36What would be your starting price?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40We'd look to sell something like this particular model
0:39:40 > 0:39:43for around the 200, £250 mark.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44Right.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47It's absolutely in fine working order.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49OK, let's have a little look.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52I think it's been hardly used, really.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Yeah, everything looks in order.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57How much were you looking for?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Between 200 and 250, you think?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02That's the thing. We're a second-hand shop,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05but we have to sell things at these second-hand prices.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08So, you know, I'd have to offer you a little bit less than that.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10So I was thinking in the region of £150.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Ooh, we were hoping for quite a bit more than that.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- What can you stretch to?- Erm, 170.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21A little bit...
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Well, we've got a set mark-up we have to go for, so I'm not looking
0:40:24 > 0:40:26to pay any more than 175 for something like this.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- OK.- What, with VAT...
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Is that your best offer?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Pretty much, at the moment, yeah.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34OK.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37If that's his best offer, it's over to you. Your moment.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40OK, yeah, that's fine, then, Lawrence. Thank you very much.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- All right, I'll write this up for you.- Lovely, thank you very much.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45'I was very pleased to sell the welder today.'
0:40:45 > 0:40:50I think we got a very good price for it. So it was good. We raised £175.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Ouch! That hurt. But good work from Olwyn.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58That'll be a great boost to our £600 target.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Too right! And as you've started the day well ahead of me,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I'd say we must be pretty evenly matched right now.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07So it's time to move up a gear.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Three quid. Go on, it's yours.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Move your leather pants out of the way, Lesley.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15He won't let go of those leather pants!
0:41:19 > 0:41:22We both have some great things to sell here
0:41:22 > 0:41:24which are going down well with our discerning customers.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26What did you say, keep the change?
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- Yes.- Good girl, thank you very much.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Right, let's see what we've got here. We've got some nice old 45s.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33- Do you play 45s?- Certainly.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Do you have an old jukebox or something?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37No. We used to, yeah, but not any more.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Right, OK.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43So that's two, four, six, eight...
0:41:43 > 0:41:46There's some good ones in there. The Beatles.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49..14, 16, 18, 20.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50There's one named after you, Lesley.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52What?
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Hot Love, it says there.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Oh, right.- How about £20, the lot? There's a load in there.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57- Is that all right with you?- Mm-hm.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00You don't want the leather trousers to go with it?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02They were Mick Jagger's!
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Never mind the rock 'n' roll, I've got the art of selling.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07What are you going to do with it, darling?
0:42:07 > 0:42:11I don't know. I like the frame, it's nice.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12Very nice, very nice.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Not so sure about the picture.- That was Paul when he was younger.- Oh!
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Would you like to make an offer we can't refuse?
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Well, no.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22No?! We'll do it this way. Is a pound too little?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Yes.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Is £100 too much?
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Can we meet in the middle somewhere? Is a tenner too much?
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Well, it's more than I want to pay.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Well, what do you want to pay?
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- Four pound?- Fiver?
0:42:37 > 0:42:41It's only a pound more. You're a good girl, thank you.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42- Five new pounds.- All right.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Bish-bosh!
0:42:46 > 0:42:51Between us, we must be in the frame for reaching our £600 target today.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54But our task isn't just about the money, we're also looking to
0:42:54 > 0:42:59reclaim rooms in this house where the cluster has got out of control.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Lesley was hiding her hoarding habit in upstairs rooms
0:43:01 > 0:43:03and out the back of the house.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06But we're helping her make the whole of her home impressive again.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10The conservatory at the back of the house had become a dumping ground
0:43:10 > 0:43:13and certainly not a nice place to sit and relax.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17But, after some hard work, it's got a whole new lease of life.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21We'll be finding out what Lesley thinks of her new-look conservatory later on.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24But, for now, our money-making mission continues.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Are you interested in this lamp?
0:43:26 > 0:43:27I am, indeed.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30It goes with your decor at home, does it?
0:43:30 > 0:43:33Well, it goes with my family's decor, not my decor necessarily.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36- OK.- Well, it's a really nice lamp. It's almost brand-new.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38But what I would recommend, like all electrical goods,
0:43:38 > 0:43:41is to get it tested before you actually use it, all right?
0:43:41 > 0:43:42Yes, before you plug it in.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45- We were hoping for a tenner for this, right?- Yes.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- That's a fraction of the cost of an original art deco item.- Lovely!
0:43:48 > 0:43:51- A tenner it is.- Is that all right? - Yeah, that's lovely.
0:43:51 > 0:43:52Thank you very much.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Test it out first, but what a wonderful thing.
0:43:54 > 0:43:55Lovely, thank you.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58I bought it from Lesley because, as I was standing there,
0:43:58 > 0:44:01she got to me quickly and sort of pushed the lamp into my hand.
0:44:01 > 0:44:06I thought it would go well at home with the rustic feel of the house.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08'I've got to be giving you a run for your money now, Mark.'
0:44:08 > 0:44:11'Well, I wouldn't get too comfortable, Paul.'
0:44:11 > 0:44:13Would 28 be too much?
0:44:16 > 0:44:18- No.- 28?- 28.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20You're a gentleman. Thank you very much.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Lovely bit of shmutter!
0:44:22 > 0:44:25Thank you very much. Was it 28? Lovely.
0:44:25 > 0:44:26That's great.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Don't fight over it, girls. Don't fight over it!
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Who wants to buy it? Come on, you two.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35- Would you give me £2 for it?- Yes.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38- Would you give me £3 for it?- Yes.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41- Would you give me £4 for it?- Yes.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43- Would you give me a fiver for it?- No.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- Would you give me a fiver for it?- No.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Blimey O'Reilly!
0:44:47 > 0:44:49Go on, give me your four quid. Take it away.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53- I'll take 2.50 for that one. How's that?- 2.50? Yeah, all right.
0:44:53 > 0:44:54What a top man!
0:44:56 > 0:44:59And now an opportunity to make even more money.
0:44:59 > 0:45:04We're selling off our newly renovated items, so it's auction time.
0:45:04 > 0:45:08I've got a pair of lovely deckchairs here that were in the shed.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10They've been refurbed and look beautiful.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Hands up who thinks they look nice.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16There we are. There's at least 12 of you.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18I was never very good at maths.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21Right, who's got a pound for a pair of deckchairs?
0:45:21 > 0:45:22- Yeah?- There's a bid.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23This man here said a pound.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Two pound to you. Three pound to you.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29Anyone got four pound? Four pound?
0:45:29 > 0:45:31Over the back. You smiled at me! Four pound.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34A fiver to you, sir? Fiver, he's nodding.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36Who's got six pound?
0:45:36 > 0:45:38There! There you are, six pound.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41I'd call that creative auctioneering! They're not bidding.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Ah, but it's cheering everyone up
0:45:43 > 0:45:47and, hopefully, will help these chairs sell for a better price.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50If you look at me... Nine pound, you looked at me! Anyone got a tenner?
0:45:50 > 0:45:54Ten pound at the back. Anyone got 11?
0:45:54 > 0:45:55£11? Everyone's put their head down.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Did you notice that?
0:45:57 > 0:46:00Right, anyone got 11? Going once at ten...
0:46:00 > 0:46:01£11 there!
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Anyone got 12?
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Going once at 11.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Going twice at 11.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Sold to the gentleman there.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12- Paul Hayes, over to you! - Good going, Mark.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15Now I've got to try and match that with my wooden table.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17OK, we have lot number two.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20Would any who has a garden please put their hand up.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23Right, all you are potential bidders,
0:46:23 > 0:46:26because we have a fantastic garden table.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29Believe it or not, this table was a complete wreck when we were here.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31- Can I say that?- Yes, it was.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35Our fabulous handyman has brought it back to life, made it this wonderful neutral green colour.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38Who wants to give me a fiver for this fantastic table?
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Fiver at the back. Thank you. Anybody else?
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Come on, there must be somebody.
0:46:42 > 0:46:43Six at the front, thank you very much.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45£8, sir, at the back to the gentleman in the...
0:46:45 > 0:46:46THEY LAUGH
0:46:46 > 0:46:49- Do you want to make it a round tenner, sir, in the blue?- No, no.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52£8 I have, for the gentleman in the outdoor jacket.
0:46:52 > 0:46:53A round tenner, sir? No.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55£8, then, we have with the gentleman at the back.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Is that everybody?
0:46:57 > 0:47:01All right, OK. I think that's done. Is that all right with you?
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- Yes, that's fine. - OK, I'm going to close the sale.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Now is your last chance. Going once.
0:47:05 > 0:47:06Going twice.
0:47:06 > 0:47:07And it's sold.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09A round of applause, please. Thank you very much.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12Not bad. That's even more money in our kitty.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15It's getting late in the day and we've still got stuff to sell,
0:47:15 > 0:47:18so it's time for some final reductions.
0:47:18 > 0:47:23All right, guys, everything that's left has to go to a charity shop if you don't buy it.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26So we're accepting any offers on anything now, OK?
0:47:26 > 0:47:29So if you make an offer, we're going to say yes, is that right?
0:47:29 > 0:47:31- Yes, of course.- Paul, are we saying yes to any offers?
0:47:31 > 0:47:32We're always saying yes.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37We've a lot to get rid of, so we're going to have to sell, sell, sell.
0:47:37 > 0:47:38What are you after, then?
0:47:38 > 0:47:40- Two candles.- Spot-on, yeah.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43- £2?- Two pound is great.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45So who are you buying that for?
0:47:45 > 0:47:47- That'll be for my grandson. - Are you sure?
0:47:47 > 0:47:50Well, he might let me play with it!
0:47:50 > 0:47:54How about £3? Excellent, well done.
0:47:54 > 0:47:55Can we have this mirror, please?
0:47:55 > 0:47:59- How much would you like to pay for it?- Five pounds?
0:47:59 > 0:48:01We was hoping for £105.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03No. Dad says no.
0:48:03 > 0:48:05We've only got five pounds.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08- You've got a deal. How's that? - OK, lovely. Thank you very much.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Thank you, darling.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13It's a tight contest and there's no telling who's going to win
0:48:13 > 0:48:15the battle to raise the most cash.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20- I'll have a hanging basket.- Lovely! OK, that's a couple of pounds.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Or you get two for four quid, whichever you like.
0:48:22 > 0:48:23- I'll have two.- Oh, lovely.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25Thank you very much. That's lovely.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28Do you want to put that back in there? All right, there you go.
0:48:28 > 0:48:29Thank you very much for that.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Those are buy one, get one free.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35Those are £2 each, those ones. And the Pictionary.
0:48:35 > 0:48:36How about three for a fiver?
0:48:36 > 0:48:38Does that sound all right to you?
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Just give me that, and that's the little thing for it.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42Thank you very much.
0:48:42 > 0:48:43- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46'You may still have customers, Paul,
0:48:46 > 0:48:49'but I've got people fighting over things at my stall.'
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- Is that worth a pound to you, my friend?- Yeah, I'll pay a pound.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54- Will you do two pound? - I'll do two, yeah.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57- Three?- I'll go for five.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00- Seven.- Seven!- Seven?
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Don't walk away, the rich man.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Eight? Nine? He's going to take ten.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06I bet he says ten.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Come on, don't be let down by this.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10- All right, 11.- Hey-hey!
0:49:10 > 0:49:13He's done ya! How embarrassing.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15How embarrassing!
0:49:15 > 0:49:16Go to 15. 15.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19- Did you say 15?- 15.
0:49:19 > 0:49:2015, top man!
0:49:20 > 0:49:23He's blown you out! He's just gone 20 quid. Can you beat that?
0:49:23 > 0:49:24I heard 15.
0:49:24 > 0:49:25Oh! Ha-ha-ha!
0:49:25 > 0:49:28- There's one born every minute. - I ain't going more than that.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30- What, you ain't going to go 16? - I ain't going...
0:49:30 > 0:49:33- That's a nice bit of smudge, that is. Look at that!- Yeah, look!
0:49:33 > 0:49:36Don't worry about the frame. Look at the actual picture. It's beautiful!
0:49:36 > 0:49:37No, can't do no more than that.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39- 15, is that your lot?- 15.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42- Put it there, top man! - Thanks very much.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45- You've got to pay up now. - Look at that.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48Make me an offer, anything you like.
0:49:48 > 0:49:49They go up in value, do they?
0:49:49 > 0:49:51They will go up in value, on my budgie's life.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53BUYERS: Aah!
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Tenner for the lot. Done!
0:49:55 > 0:49:57Top man!
0:49:58 > 0:50:00Well, you may have had a final spurt at the end there,
0:50:00 > 0:50:03but before it's over and we count up our totals,
0:50:03 > 0:50:06someone has shown an interest in the wardrobe from the guest bedroom.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09What I like about it is that it's a nice size.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11It's not going to take up too much room.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13It's solid walnut and it's been butterfly veneered.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15- Can you see the way it's like four panels?- Oh, yes.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17But the best thing is inside here.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20What you've got here is a place for your shirts, your pyjamas,
0:50:20 > 0:50:22your sundries at the bottom.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25- What are sundries? - We're not sure what sundries are.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28- Socks and undergarments. - There we go.- OK, right.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30And you've got your clothes hanger there as well.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32- I think it's a fantastic thing. - Mm-hm.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35- And it's for sale today, isn't it? - Yes, it is for sale today.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39- Do you want to talk money? - Well, we were hoping for £50.
0:50:39 > 0:50:4035.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42£35, does that sound all right to you?
0:50:42 > 0:50:43Yeah, that sounds fine to me. Yes.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Well, I think you'd better shake on that.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47- Yeah, that's lovely, thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Thank you very much. That's lovely.
0:50:49 > 0:50:50Do you want it delivered?
0:50:50 > 0:50:53- Probably delivered.- OK. - I'm only round the corner.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56Excellent. That's very nice of you. Thank you very much.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00Well, not a bad end to the day. Another £35 for our total.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02But that really is it.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05Everything left over will be going to a charity shop,
0:51:05 > 0:51:08because there's no way Lesley is letting it go back in the house.
0:51:08 > 0:51:12Too right! Especially now the house is looking back to its best.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15We'll find out who's made the most money today and whether, between us,
0:51:15 > 0:51:18we've made our £600 target.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21But first, Lesley has a new-look conservatory to look at.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23I hope she likes it.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25It's time to have a look at your conservatory, Lesley.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Will you please shut your eyes?
0:51:27 > 0:51:28- OK, no peeping.- No peeping.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32All right. Now, remind me what your conservatory looked like before
0:51:32 > 0:51:35we sent in our fabulous makeover team.
0:51:35 > 0:51:39A mess, with hardly any space on the floor to walk around.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42Lots of rubbish that needed to be disposed of.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45OK, well, let's take a look and see how it looks now.
0:51:45 > 0:51:46I think you're going to love it.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Just keep going, I've got you.
0:51:48 > 0:51:49- OK.- Eyes shut?- Eyes shut.
0:51:49 > 0:51:53One, two, three, have a look at that!
0:51:53 > 0:51:54Oh!
0:51:54 > 0:51:57Oh, wow!
0:51:57 > 0:52:00Oh, my goodness, it's gorgeous!
0:52:02 > 0:52:05- Oh!- So how different is it now? - It's fantastic.- You really like it?
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Yes, I really, really like it.
0:52:08 > 0:52:12Oh, I can sit out here with my glass of wine and look out on the garden.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15- It's fantastic. - And what about over there?
0:52:15 > 0:52:18- Look at all that, a lovely shelving unit.- Oh, yes, shelving.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Oh, my goodness! This is just... Ohh!
0:52:21 > 0:52:25Oh, that's brilliant!
0:52:25 > 0:52:26What can I say?
0:52:26 > 0:52:29It's just absolutely gorgeous.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32And have a quick look over here as well, at the table and chairs.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34- Haven't they done a great job? - They really have.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36Thank the girls for that.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38- I love the floor, actually. - Yeah, the flooring.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40They're just wonderful.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42I can't... Oh, it's fantastic.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44So you've got a good usable room again.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47- Yes.- And is that clutter going to come back in here?- No!
0:52:47 > 0:52:49- No, the clutter's outside and it's going.- It's gone.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53It is never coming back. It's gone.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Oh, thank you so much!
0:52:56 > 0:52:58Ah, you're very welcome.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03- You've got use of the room again. It feels great, doesn't it?- It does.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06Well, that's the kind of reaction we're after. She clearly loves it.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08For someone as green-fingered as Lesley,
0:53:08 > 0:53:12this conservatory means she can enjoy the garden all year round
0:53:12 > 0:53:15without being surrounded by all her old junk.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19All that junk has been banished from everywhere Lesley had stuffed it.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21Upstairs was cluttered chaos.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23But now, the guestroom is inviting again.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26And Lesley has a brand-new study.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30The entire house feels like it's back to its former glory.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33But now, it's time to find out how much the unwanted clutter has made.
0:53:33 > 0:53:37Have we reached our £600 target?
0:53:37 > 0:53:41And which team has grabbed glory and turned the most trash into cash?
0:53:45 > 0:53:48So, Lesley, your target was £600.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53£300 for yourself and £300 to get a cow to Africa, is that right?
0:53:53 > 0:53:55That's right. That was the target.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57How do you think you've done?
0:53:57 > 0:54:01Well, I think we've made the target price, £600.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04- Do you? You're confident, ain't ya? - Yes, I'm confident.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06- Who's won? - Ooh, that's a good question.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09Shall we find out, is it red team or blue team, who do you think?
0:54:09 > 0:54:12- I think it might be the blue team. - Oh, do you think so?
0:54:12 > 0:54:13I think so.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15- It's the North-South divide. - Shall we find out?
0:54:15 > 0:54:17On the count of three. One, two, three!
0:54:21 > 0:54:24That's amazing! Well done. It was that welder, wasn't it?
0:54:24 > 0:54:27- Did you have a day off? - No, we were busy, weren't we?
0:54:27 > 0:54:28- Yeah, we were busy.- All right.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30So you wanted 600.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33You've actually made £633.50. Isn't that great?
0:54:33 > 0:54:35It's great.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38Of which you get £316.75.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41And your charity which, again, is...
0:54:41 > 0:54:43Send a Cow to Africa.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46Send a Cow to Africa. They get £316.75,
0:54:46 > 0:54:49and for that, we can send that cow first-class!
0:54:49 > 0:54:51Yes, we can!
0:55:00 > 0:55:02A few weeks later and
0:55:02 > 0:55:05Lesley's clutter collecting is a thing of the past.
0:55:05 > 0:55:10It's such a relief to have got rid of everything that, for four years,
0:55:10 > 0:55:15I've wanted to clear out and never had the incentive to do it.
0:55:15 > 0:55:22And to have a house now that's free of clutter is just tremendous.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25And not only is she enjoying her new-look home,
0:55:25 > 0:55:28our green-fingered girl is also enjoying spending the money
0:55:28 > 0:55:32getting her garden back to its best.
0:55:32 > 0:55:39And then this area here, I'd like it extended.
0:55:39 > 0:55:43I know what I want the garden to look like when it's completed.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Extending the paved area so that I can sit out there,
0:55:46 > 0:55:49as well as sitting in the conservatory.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52Having a lawn that will be in an area where the sun shines
0:55:52 > 0:55:54on it during the day.
0:55:54 > 0:55:57And being able to get all the plants in that I want
0:55:57 > 0:56:00so that I've got the colour and the flowers.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03And just being able to sit in the conservatory,
0:56:03 > 0:56:06looking at something lovely.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08- You want a border there?- Yes.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13It's just kick-fired me into moving on.
