You ever looked round your home, decided it needs a clear out,

0:00:020:00:04

but you're not sure where to start?

0:00:040:00:05

Don't worry, you're not alone.

0:00:050:00:07

Thousands of houses up and down the country have unused

0:00:070:00:10

and unwanted items.

0:00:100:00:12

But, fortunately, help is at hand.

0:00:120:00:15

Indeed it is, with a little know-how,

0:00:150:00:16

a lot of hard work, we'll help you turn your trash into cash.

0:00:160:00:19

Today, we're in Chelmsford in Essex to help somebody clear

0:00:330:00:36

out his mountains of clutter.

0:00:360:00:38

Now, this may look an unassuming, lovely bungalow,

0:00:380:00:41

but inside is a secret world of junk and jumble.

0:00:410:00:44

We've already looked round, now it's time for you to have a look.

0:00:440:00:47

There's no mistaking a hoarder here.

0:00:470:00:50

As soon as we go through the front door, we're confronted by clutter.

0:00:500:00:54

The living room is littered with little bits that just clutter

0:00:550:00:58

the place up and need to go.

0:00:580:01:00

Across the hall and into the office,

0:01:020:01:04

and it's a study in how much junk you can fit into one small room.

0:01:040:01:08

In the master bedroom, there's no hiding the mess.

0:01:090:01:12

And no seeing the floor. Although, at least you can see the bed.

0:01:120:01:17

There's nowhere in this house that's escaped

0:01:170:01:19

our clutter-collector's attention.

0:01:190:01:21

Moving into the kitchen, it's a haven of junk and jumble.

0:01:210:01:24

Step outside and there's more of the same.

0:01:250:01:27

Unwanted items leaning against the house.

0:01:270:01:30

And the finale of this trash tour, a shed full to bursting.

0:01:300:01:34

You see, I wasn't joking, was I?

0:01:370:01:39

But today's clutter-clearer has decided that enough is enough.

0:01:390:01:44

The person responsible for this hefty collection of junk

0:01:440:01:47

and jumble is Simon Brown-Lamont.

0:01:470:01:49

Simon is a psychologist who's lived in this house for ten years.

0:01:490:01:53

And could clearly do with putting his mind to

0:01:530:01:55

the pressing matter of his out-of-control clutter problem.

0:01:550:01:58

This is the first real house I've ever had.

0:02:000:02:02

So, unfortunately, I went a bit overkill with storing it

0:02:020:02:05

and stocking it up with furniture and such like.

0:02:050:02:08

Now it's got a bit overcrowded. Need to pare it down a wee bit.

0:02:080:02:12

A wee bit? Now there's an understatement.

0:02:120:02:16

Our mission to reclaim Simon's home

0:02:160:02:17

is only half the story today, though.

0:02:170:02:19

Cos he's hoping that we'll be able to make some money

0:02:190:02:22

from all of his junk.

0:02:220:02:23

Looking for about £350 to put towards

0:02:250:02:27

a really exotic holiday for me.

0:02:270:02:29

To me, a perfect holiday would be travelling by open-top car

0:02:290:02:32

along the Pacific coastal highway in the middle of the summer.

0:02:320:02:36

Fantastic. That would be great.

0:02:360:02:39

That sounds like an amazing trip,

0:02:390:02:41

so let's hope we can help Simon achieve it.

0:02:410:02:44

This is no job for the faint-hearted, though.

0:02:440:02:46

Firstly, we've to clear those piles of clutter that have taken over

0:02:460:02:50

so much of Simon's house.

0:02:500:02:52

And then we need to raise some money by selling off everything

0:02:520:02:56

he's getting rid of, to put towards that trip of a lifetime.

0:02:560:02:58

Luckily, for Simon, girlfriend Trudy's here to help

0:02:580:03:02

and she's adamant it's time to act.

0:03:020:03:04

As long as I've known Simon, he's needed decluttering.

0:03:040:03:07

He's got so much stuff

0:03:070:03:08

and I'm here today to make sure that he gets rid of at least 70% of it.

0:03:080:03:13

Trudy, that's music to our ears.

0:03:130:03:16

Before we all set to work, though,

0:03:160:03:18

Simon and Trudy have to agree to the Trash To Cash deal.

0:03:180:03:23

OK, so here's the deal.

0:03:230:03:24

Now, Simon and Trudy, I know you want to raise £350 here, today.

0:03:240:03:27

And, of course, me and Mark will help you all we can.

0:03:270:03:30

But in exchange for our expertise and our advice and that,

0:03:300:03:33

of course, of the Trash To Cash team.

0:03:330:03:35

I'd like to raise exactly the same amount of money again

0:03:350:03:37

for a good cause of your choosing, OK?

0:03:370:03:39

-Do you agree to that?

-Sounds good.

-Yup, absolutely.

0:03:390:03:42

If we're going to this properly,

0:03:420:03:44

one thing I need you to agree on is that all the items that you decide

0:03:440:03:46

to declutter, everything has to go, nothing goes back in the house.

0:03:460:03:50

-So, at the end of the day...

-Yey.

-..it's donated to charity.

0:03:500:03:53

-Do you agree?

-Yes, yup.

-Excellent.

0:03:530:03:56

Now, what I want to do to add a bit of spice

0:03:560:03:58

and excitement to the day is split us into two teams.

0:03:580:04:02

So, me and Paul against you two. No, only joking.

0:04:020:04:04

Right, Paul, you get the beautiful, young lady.

0:04:040:04:06

Simon, that means I'm stuck with you. Oh, well.

0:04:060:04:09

-Come on, then, let's get started.

-Wey!

0:04:090:04:11

Oh, well indeed, Mark.

0:04:110:04:12

Cos I've got a feeling you'll be on the losing side today

0:04:120:04:15

as we try to raise £700.

0:04:150:04:16

We'll be selling to private dealers and local shops,

0:04:170:04:20

but most of what's got to go will be sold at the grand house sale.

0:04:200:04:25

We also have the services of handyman Danny Wood,

0:04:250:04:29

who can repair, refurbish or revitalise

0:04:290:04:31

all manner of things that we think can be sold on.

0:04:310:04:34

But now it's time to stop the talk and start the action.

0:04:350:04:38

-Ah, there you are, a bit warmer in here.

-Ah, it is.

0:04:400:04:42

Now that I feel sorry for Simon, ending up with Mark.

0:04:420:04:44

-We're on the winning team.

-I know, I'm glad I got you.

0:04:440:04:46

Ha-ha, good stuff.

0:04:460:04:47

But I wanted to see what this room here is, actually.

0:04:470:04:50

Now, what does Simon use this for?

0:04:500:04:52

It seems to be a multi-use store room, or something.

0:04:520:04:54

For work, playing pontoon and games on his computer.

0:04:540:04:56

-So, pretending he's busy.

-Pretending he's busy.

-OK, fair enough.

0:04:560:05:00

Yeah, but mainly his office.

0:05:000:05:01

I wanted to ask you, actually, why has Simon got all these cameras?

0:05:010:05:05

Where have these all come from?

0:05:050:05:06

Cos he's like a kid in a sweety shop.

0:05:060:05:08

He gets on that little, square thing and he thinks,

0:05:080:05:11

"Oh, haven't had that. That's a new one".

0:05:110:05:12

-Then he orders them.

-A lot of online shopping.

0:05:120:05:15

-He does.

-OK.

0:05:150:05:16

Well, what you tend to find with cameras like this, it's fantastic,

0:05:160:05:19

top-quality, but technology moves on so fast, doesn't it?

0:05:190:05:22

But it's actually been rather a long time.

0:05:220:05:24

The camera, as we know it now, was invented in the 19th century,

0:05:240:05:27

for proper film cameras.

0:05:270:05:29

But they do think now that a long of the original paintings

0:05:290:05:33

were done using a camera obscura, which is a type of early camera.

0:05:330:05:38

So, it's amazing how long it's been around, really.

0:05:380:05:40

-But do you think some of these can go?

-Oh, yes, definitely.

0:05:400:05:43

I think the digital ones are a lot more environmentally friendly.

0:05:430:05:46

Cos they don't need the film processing and so on.

0:05:460:05:48

But I do know there's at least ten, if not 12, of these cameras.

0:05:480:05:52

I think you could be looking at a couple of hundred pounds.

0:05:520:05:55

-So everything adds up, doesn't it?

-It does.

0:05:550:05:57

Tell me, I mean, he obviously uses this slightly as a library.

0:05:570:06:01

It's got lots and lots of books. Has he read all these?

0:06:010:06:03

He's read the books, but he doesn't really need them any more

0:06:030:06:06

because if wants anything, he's got an iReader.

0:06:060:06:10

-OK.

-So that holds 600 books.

-Wow.

0:06:100:06:13

So, he can't turn the pages very easily any more

0:06:130:06:15

and I'm certainly not going to sit there and do it for him.

0:06:150:06:19

I think with this top shelf, here.

0:06:190:06:20

I think we're looking at about £20, that sort of price, all right.

0:06:200:06:23

So, things do add up and it would help to declutter this room.

0:06:230:06:26

Cos, let's face it, what does he actually use this room for?

0:06:260:06:29

-Well, the computer, mainly.

-So it's just all around this area, here.

0:06:290:06:34

-Yeah. So these books and things, he hasn't touched for a long time?

-No.

0:06:340:06:37

Right, OK. Well, he's a very lucky man, do you know that?

0:06:370:06:39

Why?

0:06:390:06:41

Cos onsite here, today,

0:06:410:06:43

we have a fabulous makeover team that are dying to get in here.

0:06:430:06:46

And I think they could transform this into something

0:06:460:06:49

that's more usable, more functional.

0:06:490:06:50

-So he knows where everything is.

-When's the skip coming?

-Ha-ha-ha.

0:06:500:06:54

Promise they'll be no skips, we'll try and rescue as much as we can, all right?

0:06:540:06:58

Absolutely, Paul. We don't do skips.

0:06:580:07:01

And, out in the shed,

0:07:010:07:02

Simon and I are taking a look at some real money-making opportunities.

0:07:020:07:07

Well, Simon, let me have a pew here for a moment.

0:07:070:07:11

This wheelchair, it doesn't look very loved and very used.

0:07:110:07:15

But it looks like a racing bike.

0:07:150:07:17

It looks like a super-duper one.

0:07:170:07:19

What's the story on this?

0:07:190:07:20

Yes, it's a very lightweight frame, lightweight wheels on it.

0:07:200:07:24

-Easy to move around on a hard court.

-So, what was its purpose then?

0:07:240:07:28

For basketball, things like that.

0:07:280:07:30

And I used it to exercise with the trike attachment to it.

0:07:300:07:34

So I used to go across country quite fast on it.

0:07:340:07:36

-It looks very funky.

-It is, it's a really nice, little machine.

0:07:360:07:40

I got to be honest, Simon, it looks fairly unused.

0:07:400:07:43

It fairly is, yes, I'm not very funky myself.

0:07:430:07:45

Why, you know, why you getting rid of it? You don't really do it, no?

0:07:450:07:49

No, it, sort of, doesn't suit me any more, really,

0:07:490:07:53

since my condition deteriorated.

0:07:530:07:55

And that's why you want to get shot of it, yeah?

0:07:550:07:57

Yeah, basically I can't use it

0:07:570:07:58

and someone should be able to get some use out of it.

0:07:580:08:00

Our team have had a look into it and we've actually got a buyer

0:08:000:08:03

interested in this and this thing as well.

0:08:030:08:06

Now, you have to explain this, cos, to me,

0:08:060:08:08

this looks like a cannibalised BMX.

0:08:080:08:09

-What is it?

-Very close.

0:08:090:08:10

It converts a wheelchair into a trike.

0:08:100:08:13

So you're able to hand-pedal it, as it were.

0:08:130:08:16

Use the hand pedal to go across all sorts of terrain.

0:08:160:08:19

Up hills, down dales.

0:08:190:08:21

Gives you good exercise and a great deal of mobility.

0:08:210:08:24

Also, comes with batteries, so it gets up

0:08:240:08:26

and down hills without giving all the effort.

0:08:260:08:28

Wow. It looks like a mad unicycle. What a smashing bit of kit.

0:08:280:08:31

-It is lovely.

-Really well engineered.

0:08:310:08:33

Again, it's got all the gears down the bottom.

0:08:330:08:35

But this doesn't look like it's been used for a while

0:08:350:08:37

and it's in good nick.

0:08:370:08:39

-No, again, yeah.

-OK, I got the point.

-It got some use.

0:08:390:08:42

Right, so our team have got a buyer for this and this lined up.

0:08:420:08:46

-Fantastic.

-And we've done a lot of research

0:08:460:08:48

and it turns out that their value is somewhere between £150 and £200.

0:08:480:08:51

Great.

0:08:510:08:52

So this is where we're going to have to get you to push the price on.

0:08:520:08:55

-Yeah.

-Give me them puppy dog eyes.

0:08:550:08:58

While we wait for the buyer to come,

0:08:580:08:59

I'm going to have a look round and see what else I can find.

0:08:590:09:02

Great.

0:09:020:09:03

I reckon we've matched or even bettered your 220 quid

0:09:030:09:07

from the study, Paul.

0:09:070:09:08

As well as the wheelchair and cycle attachments,

0:09:080:09:11

I've also spotted some unwanted garden tools and a box carwash kit.

0:09:110:09:15

They'll do nicely for the house sale.

0:09:150:09:18

Well, congratulations, Mark.

0:09:180:09:20

But, actually, there's still stuff in the study.

0:09:200:09:22

And if this room is going to be transformed,

0:09:220:09:25

then even more needs to go.

0:09:250:09:26

So, Trudy and I have carried on looking and have got a few

0:09:260:09:29

more items to add to our growing collection of bankable clutter.

0:09:290:09:33

There's one item here that I wanted to talk to you about.

0:09:330:09:36

This old stool, who uses this?

0:09:360:09:38

Well, he makes me sit on that if I'm in here,

0:09:380:09:39

cos he's obviously got his nice, comfy wheelchair.

0:09:390:09:42

Gosh, I bet you don't hang around too long, then.

0:09:420:09:44

That's very uncomfortable, isn't it?

0:09:440:09:47

So, what we could do is to give that to Danny, our fabulous handyman,

0:09:470:09:50

and I think he could, sort of, restore that a little bit.

0:09:500:09:52

Smarten it up, make it a little more comfortable, all right?

0:09:520:09:55

-And I think that must be a tenner for our house sale.

-Yeah.

0:09:550:09:58

That sound all right to you? All right.

0:09:580:10:00

And one last thing I wanted to talk to you about. This here.

0:10:000:10:02

OK, well, this one looks like it might have been handed down to him.

0:10:020:10:05

You're probably looking at 1950s, 1960s.

0:10:050:10:07

It's a good quality, nine carat gold, gents Omega watch.

0:10:070:10:11

Very, very popular.

0:10:110:10:14

So I think we could find somebody, a specialist buyer

0:10:140:10:16

or somebody's who's interested in watches, for this.

0:10:160:10:19

Well, I think this is very, very sellable.

0:10:190:10:21

People are always looking for these designer names,

0:10:210:10:23

things like Omega, Rolex, are one of those names you look for.

0:10:230:10:26

The quality of the movement is all important.

0:10:260:10:28

This, actually, is a nine carat gold case, which is great.

0:10:280:10:31

But the value does tend to be how accurate the movements are.

0:10:310:10:34

Sometimes you get them that are waterproof, shockproof,

0:10:340:10:37

seamasters, cosmonauts watches, all that sort of stuff.

0:10:370:10:41

But I think at least, sort of, £50-£70.

0:10:410:10:44

-I mean, does that sound all right to you?

-Yeah.

0:10:440:10:47

OK, so we've got maybe a couple of hundred quid in cameras.

0:10:470:10:50

We've got 10 or 20 quid in books, 50/60 quid in a watch, at least.

0:10:500:10:54

We've got a chair that Danny's going to make wonderful.

0:10:540:10:56

And we've got to send the makeover team in.

0:10:560:10:58

-So time for a sit down, I think.

-I think so.

0:10:580:11:01

Sit down(!)

0:11:020:11:03

There's no time for that

0:11:030:11:04

if you're going to turn all that lot into some serious cash.

0:11:040:11:09

Don't worry about us, we're well on the way to victory.

0:11:090:11:11

Anyone could talk a good game, Paul. But the proof is in the selling.

0:11:110:11:15

And talking of selling, potential buyers have come to the house

0:11:150:11:19

to take a look at the wheelchair and attachments from the shed.

0:11:190:11:23

Simon, I've brought two very glamorous,

0:11:230:11:25

young ladies to look at the items.

0:11:250:11:27

Ladies, this is Simon, he's going to tell you all about them.

0:11:270:11:30

Right, let me tell you about these little pieces of equipment I've got

0:11:300:11:33

and why I've got them.

0:11:330:11:34

First off is a rollator, really ideal, obviously for somebody,

0:11:340:11:39

probably someone a little bit infirm on their feet.

0:11:390:11:41

Unfortunately, I'm a bit too infirm on my feet for this.

0:11:410:11:44

It's a great, little piece of kit, really.

0:11:440:11:47

Obviously, more important to me, is the lightweight wheelchair.

0:11:470:11:51

Primarily designed for hard court sports,

0:11:510:11:54

such as volleyball and basketball.

0:11:540:11:56

But a very good, sort of, all-round piece of kit.

0:11:560:12:00

Very easy to put into a car.

0:12:000:12:02

The chair folds down, the wheels take off, folds up, it's lovely.

0:12:020:12:07

Attached to this, I had the hand cycle.

0:12:070:12:09

Another, I consider a fabulous piece of kit.

0:12:110:12:15

By attaching this to the front of that chair, it turns

0:12:150:12:17

into a three-wheel trike, which you can hand-cycle around town.

0:12:170:12:22

So, not using the wheels at all.

0:12:220:12:24

You get plenty of exercise, really builds the upper body strength.

0:12:240:12:28

Great start, Simon. I think your sales pitch is working a treat.

0:12:280:12:32

And I can sense that these two ladies may make a good offer.

0:12:320:12:36

I wonder if it will be as high as the £150-£200 we're hoping for.

0:12:360:12:41

How are you and Trudy getting on, Paul?

0:12:410:12:43

We've jumped into the Trash To Cash van

0:12:430:12:45

and are heading to a dealer's shop to try and sell the gold watch.

0:12:450:12:48

While we're en route, I thought I'd take the opportunity

0:12:480:12:52

to try and find out a bit more about Simon's hoarding habit.

0:12:520:12:55

So, how has he actually accumulated all this stuff?

0:12:570:13:00

Cos he's a lot of stuff, hasn't he?

0:13:000:13:02

Mainly, I think, being that they've got that weird thing

0:13:020:13:05

called the internet, which he can go and play on at any time.

0:13:050:13:08

Right.

0:13:080:13:09

And he, sort of, like browses through and thinks,

0:13:090:13:12

"Oh, yeah, that sounds like a good idea."

0:13:120:13:14

And, "Oh, I haven't got one of those." And, "Oh, that's new."

0:13:140:13:17

What's nice is the house is starting to take shape now,

0:13:170:13:19

it's starting to become less cluttered.

0:13:190:13:21

I mean, how do you think Simon's going to feel about that?

0:13:210:13:23

I think he's going to feel really good.

0:13:230:13:26

And the best thing about it, for me, would be

0:13:270:13:30

having a house where I can actually manage to walk round

0:13:300:13:34

without having to, like, struggle and climb over his wheelchair.

0:13:340:13:38

Do you know what? It's amazing how much of a difference you can make,

0:13:380:13:41

just be decluttering things you don't want any more.

0:13:410:13:43

You've got your life back again, haven't you?

0:13:430:13:45

Before we start selling, though, I've got some advice

0:13:450:13:48

to help Trudy hopefully get the £50-£70 we're looking for.

0:13:480:13:53

-So, you're OK, quite confident?

-Yeah.

0:13:530:13:54

All right, well the money side is down to you.

0:13:540:13:56

I'll help you all I can.

0:13:560:13:58

But my top tip, actually, is try and be as friendly as possible,

0:13:580:14:01

try and understand why the gentleman wants to buy this watch

0:14:010:14:03

and what he's going to do with it.

0:14:030:14:05

Get yourself on a level playing field and I think you'll be fine.

0:14:050:14:07

-Okey-doke.

-All right.

0:14:070:14:09

BELL RINGS

0:14:090:14:12

-Wow. Look at this.

-What a gorgeous shop.

-That's fantastic. Hello.

0:14:120:14:16

-Good afternoon.

-Hi, is it Chris?

-It is Chris.

0:14:160:14:18

Hi, Chris, I'm Paul, very pleased to meet you. And this is Trudy.

0:14:180:14:21

Hi, Chris, nice to meet you.

0:14:210:14:22

-We did mention on the phone that we had a watch to show you.

-Yup.

0:14:220:14:25

Would you like to show the gentleman?

0:14:250:14:27

-This is amazing, isn't it?

-Right, gosh, thank you.

-There we go.

0:14:270:14:31

It's a beautiful shop.

0:14:310:14:33

In quite nice condition.

0:14:330:14:35

It's no problem at all

0:14:350:14:36

and we'd certainly be happy to make you an offer.

0:14:360:14:38

-OK.

-Oh, fantastic.

0:14:380:14:40

'Well, so far, Trudy's doing a good job.

0:14:400:14:42

'But how will she fair with the haggle?'

0:14:420:14:45

What sort of offer would you make?

0:14:450:14:47

-Well, I would have thought, in today's market, say £50.

-£50.

0:14:500:14:55

Any chance of a little bit more, it's for a friend of mine.

0:14:550:14:58

-Well, we could certainly go to £55.

-OK, that sounds fair.

0:15:000:15:04

-That's OK, is it?

-Yup.

-Thank you very much, indeed.

0:15:040:15:07

That's a great start for our team.

0:15:070:15:09

An old watch, that's been lying around, not used

0:15:090:15:12

and not wanted, turned into £55.

0:15:120:15:15

Yeah, Chris gave us £55 and I think, in the market, the way

0:15:150:15:19

it is at the moment, we weren't really going to get anything more.

0:15:190:15:22

So, yeah, I'm happy with that and I hope Simon is.

0:15:220:15:26

The pressure is now on Simon to seal the deal on the wheelchairs.

0:15:260:15:30

The company that I come from have decided that we'd like

0:15:300:15:34

to donate on the equipment that we buy from you, if that's possible.

0:15:340:15:38

What were you looking to achieve financially from the sale?

0:15:380:15:43

Well, obviously I need, sort of, your guidance on this.

0:15:430:15:47

I mean, you know, the easiest answer is as much as I can get,

0:15:470:15:51

but I'm easy to be guided.

0:15:510:15:53

Now I know it's going to hopefully give some value to somebody,

0:15:530:15:56

it'd be fantastic.

0:15:560:15:57

Now, I was thinking about £250?

0:15:570:15:59

Yeah, I think that absolutely, really does please me.

0:15:590:16:02

Yeah, it'd be great if it could go to something like that.

0:16:020:16:05

-Fantastic.

-That'd be fantastic.

0:16:050:16:06

Yeah, well, normally I would encourage Simon to haggle,

0:16:060:16:10

but because we're all working for the same aim and it's a generous

0:16:100:16:13

offer, I'm going to encourage you to accept the offer and shake hands.

0:16:130:16:15

-What do you say?

-Oh, yes, please.

-All right, we've got a deal.

0:16:150:16:18

That's a great result. Bagging 50 quid more than we were hoping for.

0:16:180:16:22

Between us, we've banked over £300 already.

0:16:220:16:25

Putting us well on the way to our £700 target.

0:16:250:16:28

But today isn't just about making money.

0:16:280:16:32

It's also about clearing Simon's home

0:16:320:16:34

of all the unwanted junk and jumble.

0:16:340:16:36

And while we've been selling,

0:16:360:16:38

the Trash To Cash clutter busters have been hard at work.

0:16:380:16:40

Clearing, tidying and transforming the house.

0:16:400:16:43

The shed was bulging with so much stuff you couldn't get in it,

0:16:430:16:47

but, already, lots of it has gone and the floor is now visible again.

0:16:470:16:52

The transformation of the study is also well underway.

0:16:520:16:55

We'll see what Simon makes of it once our team has finished sprucing it up.

0:16:550:16:58

First, though, it's time for a little chat.

0:16:580:17:01

Simon, how does it feel now your house is starting to empty out a bit?

0:17:010:17:05

It's great. It's a feeling of relief.

0:17:050:17:07

Do you think this is going to impact you in a really good way?

0:17:070:17:10

Yeah, I think it is.

0:17:100:17:12

I've just got used to the clutter and it stifles me.

0:17:120:17:15

It'd be nice, to just have a clean slate, start again, really.

0:17:150:17:18

I can't complain about not being able to get about places

0:17:180:17:20

when I can't get about my own house.

0:17:200:17:21

Exactly. I'm hoping you'll be doing pirouettes and 360s in the hallway.

0:17:210:17:26

Well, I think it's going to be helping me with my dance career.

0:17:260:17:29

Now, what's the charity you've chosen and why that charity in particular?

0:17:290:17:34

Well, the charity I've chosen is Help For Heroes.

0:17:340:17:37

It's a charity I feel absolutely passionate about.

0:17:370:17:40

I don't think our soldiers choose to go out to warzones

0:17:410:17:46

and, political issues aside, they just do their job.

0:17:460:17:51

I think we owe them a responsibility,

0:17:510:17:54

whether you agree or don't agree with the war, the situation,

0:17:540:17:57

they've done their job, they've served, we should look after them.

0:17:570:18:01

So, you're aiming to raise £350 for yourself

0:18:010:18:05

and the same again for the charity.

0:18:050:18:06

What are you going to do with your money that you raise?

0:18:060:18:09

Well, I'm, I want to put it towards a real, sort of, holiday that

0:18:090:18:13

I've always wanted to do, which is travel the Pacific coastal highway.

0:18:130:18:19

From Seattle in Washington, down to San Francisco in California.

0:18:190:18:23

Some of it I always wanted to do on a Harley, in my biking days.

0:18:230:18:28

But, obviously, I'm a lot older and I do like my comfort a lot more now.

0:18:280:18:31

So, yeah, I just want to get an open-top car and rumble on down.

0:18:310:18:35

Well, let's just hope that we can raise at least £350

0:18:350:18:38

to make your dream come true.

0:18:380:18:39

Thank you very much.

0:18:390:18:41

Well, it's fantastic to hear that Simon wants to donate to a charity

0:18:410:18:44

that supports British soldiers, wounded in current conflicts.

0:18:440:18:47

But if we're going to reach our £700 target, we'd better get cracking.

0:18:470:18:52

I've taken Trudy outside to talk tables.

0:18:520:18:56

Now, Trudy, I wanted to ask you about this garden table, here.

0:18:560:19:01

Now, I've got exactly the same one at home but it has six chairs.

0:19:010:19:04

What happened to the chairs, do you know?

0:19:040:19:06

No, Simon bought it on the net

0:19:060:19:08

-just cos he had friends round for a party last year.

-All right.

0:19:080:19:10

So it had no chairs with it, it was just the table.

0:19:100:19:13

-So he bought it purely for a one-off occasion?

-Yup.

0:19:130:19:15

-And he hasn't used it since?

-No.

-No, just the table, right.

0:19:150:19:17

Well, this is a great, solid wood table.

0:19:170:19:20

I mean, it will last forever if you look after it.

0:19:200:19:22

But it does need to be stored for the winter.

0:19:220:19:24

Somewhere like the shed would be ideal.

0:19:240:19:26

-It would've been if the shed had been clear.

-Yeah.

0:19:260:19:28

You couldn't get it in there so that it's rotting away.

0:19:280:19:30

But, you know, we spend an absolute fortune on our gardens.

0:19:300:19:33

Something like £3 billion a year, here in the UK, on gardens.

0:19:330:19:39

And, also, something like, over the course of your lifetime,

0:19:390:19:41

you spend £20,000 on your garden. It's a lot of money.

0:19:410:19:44

-I live in a flat.

-Oh, right.

0:19:440:19:45

That 20 grand must be sitting in the bank somewhere.

0:19:450:19:48

It must be somewhere else, I think.

0:19:480:19:49

It's obviously not in my bank, though.

0:19:490:19:51

-So, are you sure that Simon wants to get rid of it?

-Yes, definitely.

0:19:510:19:54

All right.

0:19:540:19:55

So, something that he bought for a one-off really,

0:19:550:19:57

wants to be put into new hands.

0:19:570:19:59

Someone that can use it.

0:19:590:20:00

-And if I said, sort of, £30 at the house sale.

-Yeah.

0:20:000:20:03

That sound all right to you?

0:20:030:20:04

Yeah, let someone else enjoy it for this summer.

0:20:040:20:06

Now I know that Mark and Simon have already been in the shed,

0:20:060:20:09

so there'll be nothing left in there.

0:20:090:20:11

-So let's keep looking inside.

-OK.

0:20:110:20:13

That's right, Paul.

0:20:140:20:15

Don't even bother with the shed, cos the A-team have already

0:20:150:20:18

pulled out all the money-making items in there.

0:20:180:20:21

But don't forget, we're not here just to make money.

0:20:210:20:24

Simon also called us in to create much needed space

0:20:240:20:28

by getting rid of his mountains of unwanted clutter.

0:20:280:20:30

Our team have been hard at work and it's time to find out

0:20:300:20:33

if the study gets his seal of approval.

0:20:330:20:36

Now, earlier on, Simon, Trudy and Paul decided this room needed

0:20:360:20:41

-a good declutter and a tidy up, bit of a makeover.

-Right.

0:20:410:20:45

So our team have been in here and done the business.

0:20:450:20:47

-Do you want to have a look?

-Yeah, too right.

-Are you ready?

-OK.

0:20:470:20:50

-Let's go.

-Come in, mate.

0:20:500:20:52

Wow. Ha-ha-ha. That's really different.

0:20:530:20:59

-How was it before, then?

-Where's my stuff?

-My stuff!

0:20:590:21:02

SIMON LAUGHS

0:21:020:21:04

-You can move around quite freely, now.

-That's fabulous, isn't it?

0:21:040:21:07

-I can actually see it.

-What do you think of the motorbike prints?

0:21:070:21:11

Oh, that's phenomenal. That's really, really good.

0:21:110:21:14

-That's fantastic.

-And this cupboard's been reduced.

0:21:160:21:18

So you can actually reach all your stuff, there.

0:21:180:21:22

It makes such a difference. It seems...

0:21:220:21:24

Actually, there seems to be some room in my study.

0:21:240:21:26

-Which I have seen for donkey's years.

-Are you happy?

-I am, very.

0:21:260:21:30

Yeah, it's absolutely great.

0:21:300:21:32

That's what we like, a satisfied customer.

0:21:330:21:37

The room looks brilliant.

0:21:370:21:38

There's space for Simon to move around and the personalised

0:21:380:21:41

artwork, highlighting his love of motorbikes, is a stylish final touch.

0:21:410:21:46

Well, with that makeover successfully done,

0:21:460:21:49

I think it's about time we found out how much money we've made so far.

0:21:490:21:53

There's no arguing that I've made a cracking start today.

0:21:550:21:58

Simon and I have sold the wheelchair

0:21:580:22:00

and attachments for the fantastic sum of £250.

0:22:000:22:04

Cha-ching.

0:22:040:22:06

Well, Trudy and I have managed to get £55

0:22:060:22:08

for the gold watch from the study.

0:22:080:22:10

A good result, but I'll admit, we've got a bit of catching up to do.

0:22:100:22:13

We may have a healthy lead,

0:22:200:22:22

but Simon and I aren't hanging around and have moved on to the kitchen.

0:22:220:22:27

Well, Simon, I think we are well ahead of the game,

0:22:270:22:30

especially getting rid of the wheelchair and that.

0:22:300:22:33

We are steaming ahead. So, no worries there.

0:22:330:22:35

Let's start looking around here.

0:22:350:22:37

What is going on with this?

0:22:380:22:39

These should be in your living room, shouldn't they?

0:22:390:22:41

-Well, I would if I had some space, yeah.

-Right.

0:22:410:22:44

Well, they may come back into fashion one day,

0:22:440:22:46

but I'm not going to hold my breath on that.

0:22:460:22:48

Are you really using them?

0:22:480:22:50

Well, they're really surplus to requirements.

0:22:500:22:52

They're just holding even more clutter.

0:22:520:22:54

I think, what we could do with these, is we could get shot of them.

0:22:540:22:57

To be honest, as they are, they're not worth a lot of money.

0:22:570:23:00

But we have the magical hands of Danny, the DIY man,

0:23:000:23:04

who can turn these into items of wonder.

0:23:040:23:06

And, rather than being worth a pound or two,

0:23:060:23:09

they can actually be worth, perhaps, I don't know, 20-30 quid.

0:23:090:23:12

-Let's see what he does, yeah?

-Fantastic.

0:23:120:23:13

The thing about timber is, every year, there's nearly one

0:23:130:23:17

and a half million tonnes of wood waste created by industry in the UK.

0:23:170:23:22

So, this could just add to that equation.

0:23:220:23:25

You know, the landfills are just filling up with timber.

0:23:250:23:28

Whereas, you can just recycle it and turn it into money.

0:23:280:23:30

-Absolutely.

-Now, I've noticed over here.

0:23:300:23:34

-You have got a cabinet full of rhinos.

-Yes.

-Please explain why.

0:23:340:23:41

Well, I was once likened to a rhino because I'm big, I'm calm and

0:23:410:23:46

I just chew grass, but if I focus on something, I tend to charge at it.

0:23:460:23:50

I don't see the resemblance, but your jumper's a very similar colour.

0:23:500:23:53

-Yeah, ha-ha.

-That's quite nice,

0:23:530:23:55

but you're quite happy to get shot of them?

0:23:550:23:56

Yes, absolutely.

0:23:560:23:58

Well, they're all quite nice. You've got some timber ones in there.

0:23:580:24:01

Some of them little, sort of, chalky ones here.

0:24:010:24:03

We've got to be looking at, sort of, 20-25 quid, the lot.

0:24:030:24:05

There's just money everywhere, waiting to happen.

0:24:050:24:08

-Are you happy to get rid of those?

-Absolutely, yeah.

0:24:080:24:11

I'm going to get the team to clear those cabinets out

0:24:110:24:13

and take them to Danny.

0:24:130:24:14

While we've been busy sorting through all the clutter,

0:24:150:24:17

handyman, Danny, has been working hard on some of our items.

0:24:170:24:21

He's got the stool from the study.

0:24:210:24:22

And if you have something similar, in need of a re-style,

0:24:220:24:26

here's how to do it.

0:24:260:24:27

Start by cutting some foam to the correct size, using a sharp blade.

0:24:280:24:33

Then place the foam onto the seat and fit the new fabric over it.

0:24:330:24:38

Lastly, attach the fabric using a staple gun,

0:24:380:24:41

pulling it tightly and pleating the corners.

0:24:410:24:44

Now we have a refurbished stool that's ready for a new owner.

0:24:450:24:49

It looks good, Paul, but I'm hoping that Danny can do

0:24:500:24:53

an even better job of refurbishing the units from the kitchen.

0:24:530:24:57

Firstly, sand down the old paintwork, leaving a smooth surface.

0:24:590:25:03

Then, apply an undercoat and allow to dry.

0:25:060:25:09

Once dry, paint with the colour of your choice.

0:25:110:25:15

And, voila, what a once unfashionable, black unit has

0:25:150:25:19

been transformed into minimalistic items, perfect to be rehomed.

0:25:190:25:23

We'll have to wait until the house sale, though,

0:25:230:25:25

to see who will come out on top and be the master of the auction.

0:25:250:25:29

It's been a long day as we've tried to make £700 by ridding

0:25:340:25:39

Simon's home of all its unwanted junk and jumble.

0:25:390:25:41

Although the sun has gone down outside, inside, there's still

0:25:420:25:45

time to add a few more items to our stall to guarantee victory.

0:25:450:25:49

Now, Trudy, let's pop in here a second.

0:25:490:25:52

Now, while Simon and Mark aren't here,

0:25:520:25:53

I've got some bad news.

0:25:530:25:55

-What's that?

-Well, they're actually in the lead.

0:25:550:25:57

But don't forget, we have all that lovely stuff

0:25:570:26:00

to sell at the house sale.

0:26:000:26:01

-So, you still up for that?

-I am.

-Positive thinking.

0:26:010:26:03

But tell me, what is this thing here?

0:26:030:26:06

Simon's mum bought him it, it's a reflexology thing for the feet.

0:26:060:26:09

-And, no, he's never used it.

-Right, OK.

0:26:090:26:11

Well, that's the sort of thing, it's a gimmick, it's quite modern,

0:26:110:26:14

it looks amazing, doesn't it?

0:26:140:26:15

I think that's perfect for the house sale.

0:26:150:26:18

I mean, it's amazing how much we spend on items we never use

0:26:180:26:20

or we use maybe once or twice.

0:26:200:26:22

-All right.

-Like Simon.

-It looks like it's all working.

0:26:220:26:25

-Is he quite a shopaholic then?

-Well, his mum bought it for him.

0:26:250:26:27

-But he's never used it.

-But he's never used it.

0:26:270:26:29

-OK, well, if I said, sort of, £15-20 would that make any sense?

-Yeah.

0:26:290:26:34

All right. That definitely can go.

0:26:340:26:35

Now, He's quite partial to the odd cigar, isn't he? I noticed.

0:26:350:26:38

He used to smoke quite heavily. But he doesn't any more.

0:26:380:26:41

It's the sort of thing that's

0:26:410:26:42

perfect for cigars and keeps everything nice and airtight.

0:26:420:26:46

This is quite modern, but it's made from rosewood,

0:26:460:26:48

which tells me it's possibly from India.

0:26:480:26:51

And it has this beautiful, satin wood inlay,

0:26:510:26:52

which gives it a bit of stringing around the edge.

0:26:520:26:55

But what I love about it is the mark on the top.

0:26:550:26:57

Just look a the detail, there.

0:26:570:26:59

All this has been carved out, then replaced.

0:26:590:27:01

Beautifully done and a lovely finish.

0:27:010:27:04

I mean, I think, I know Simon wants to get rid of this,

0:27:040:27:06

and if I said £20, maybe £25 for that?

0:27:060:27:09

-Yeah, that sounds good.

-And that adds up.

0:27:090:27:10

I think that's a lovely, lovely box, indeed.

0:27:100:27:13

Now, we also have another camera accessory here, a tripod.

0:27:130:27:17

These can be very expensive, you know, these tripods.

0:27:170:27:19

Does he have the camera to go with it, do you know?

0:27:190:27:21

If he has, it's probably up for sale, anyway.

0:27:210:27:24

OK, that's going to go up.

0:27:240:27:25

We might get rid of that with the other camera stuff.

0:27:250:27:28

-If not, it's five or ten quid.

-Yeah.

-So it's adding up nicely.

0:27:280:27:30

Well, there's one thing I wanted to discuss. It's this.

0:27:300:27:33

-A bit of '70s memorabilia.

-I must admit, I've never seen it before.

0:27:330:27:36

It must have had so much junk on it that it just got hidden.

0:27:360:27:39

Do you know, it's amazing when you start to declutter,

0:27:390:27:41

you can come across items you haven't used for a long time.

0:27:410:27:43

You see it with a whole, new, fresh pair of eyes.

0:27:430:27:46

I think that's fantastic, it's modern,

0:27:460:27:48

it's a bit of '70s retro, it's wonderful.

0:27:480:27:50

But leather is very collectable in its own right.

0:27:500:27:53

I mean, it goes back to about 5,000 years.

0:27:530:27:56

And there have been known to be examples from about 1300 B.C.

0:27:560:27:59

It's a real last if you can look after it.

0:27:590:28:01

But as a bit of retro, nice example.

0:28:010:28:03

I mean, if I said, sort of, £10 or £15,

0:28:030:28:05

-does that sound all right to you?

-Yeah, sounds good to me.

-All right.

0:28:050:28:08

-So that's £55 without even trying, all right.

-Yeah.

0:28:080:28:12

What have we got to worry about? Simon and Mark, look out.

0:28:120:28:14

Look out?! I'm not worried.

0:28:140:28:17

When I was a young boy, I learnt that this called a COD,

0:28:170:28:19

which is an abbreviation of chest-of-drawers.

0:28:190:28:22

That's what the antique dealers call it.

0:28:220:28:23

Now, you two, are you still talking away here, are you?

0:28:230:28:26

Talking about antiques, Paul. Might confuse you, that subject.

0:28:260:28:28

We've been busy and we've managed

0:28:280:28:30

to look at lots of interesting items for our house sale.

0:28:300:28:32

Excellent. How much money have you made? More to the point.

0:28:320:28:35

A few pounds, a few pounds.

0:28:350:28:36

-Oh, a few pounds, we made hundreds, so on you trot.

-OK.

0:28:360:28:40

Winning team, aren't we, eh, Simon?

0:28:400:28:43

Right, chest-of-drawers, made of pine.

0:28:430:28:46

Nice and solid, unusual configuration. This is how

0:28:460:28:49

I know it's not old, don't even need to look in the drawers.

0:28:490:28:51

-It's got two drawers over the top and then seven below it.

-Oh, yeah.

0:28:510:28:55

Now, in Victorian times and into the Edwardian period,

0:28:550:28:58

you'd have two drawers, followed by either three, sometimes four.

0:28:580:29:02

Maximum I've ever seen is five. But seven, didn't really happen.

0:29:020:29:05

So, this is a modern piece of furniture.

0:29:050:29:07

30 years old, perhaps, something like that. But it's solid.

0:29:070:29:11

It's made of pine and it's a good lump.

0:29:110:29:14

So, still saleable, still serviceable.

0:29:140:29:16

It will be here when you and I are dead and gone.

0:29:160:29:19

At the house sale, we'll get a specialist buyer down here

0:29:190:29:22

and that is a £50 note waiting to happen.

0:29:220:29:24

-That's great, lovely.

-Yeah.

0:29:240:29:26

In the corner, there's a pine-looking blanket box there.

0:29:260:29:29

If that's going, that's got to be 10-20 quid.

0:29:290:29:31

So, what I'm seeing, is another room full of cash.

0:29:310:29:34

Now, as I can see, you can't move round here too easily, can you?

0:29:340:29:37

-Not really, no.

-If you weren't in a wheelchair,

0:29:370:29:40

you couldn't move round here too easily. I'm stuck here.

0:29:400:29:43

-I think this room is ripe for a makeover.

-Oh, yeah.

0:29:430:29:46

We need to get some room.

0:29:460:29:47

We need to get some of this stuff out of here and give it

0:29:470:29:51

a real, new lease of life.

0:29:510:29:52

-What do you say?

-Absolutely, great.

-OK.

-Fantastic.

0:29:520:29:55

Well, do an eight-point turn and let's get out of here.

0:29:550:29:58

Well, I think our massive clearout mission today has come to an end.

0:29:580:30:02

We've been ruthless as we've gone through the house,

0:30:020:30:04

ridding it of junk and jumble.

0:30:040:30:06

The study has been transformed from a den of mess into a tidy

0:30:060:30:10

and functional work-space.

0:30:100:30:11

The kitchen has become a clutter-free zone. As has the shed.

0:30:130:30:16

And the living room now feels like a place to relax.

0:30:180:30:20

And we're not stopping there.

0:30:200:30:23

Cos while we're selling at the grand house sale, the Trash team

0:30:230:30:25

will be busy transforming Simon's cluttered bedroom.

0:30:250:30:29

But after a long day rooting through the junk and jumble,

0:30:290:30:32

it's time for us all to catch up and find out how well each team has done.

0:30:320:30:37

Well, it's been a very long day, guys.

0:30:370:30:38

And it's still the same day, just.

0:30:380:30:40

So, what I want to know, have you enjoyed yourselves?

0:30:400:30:43

-Yeah, it's been a great day.

-Yeah, pretty good.

0:30:430:30:45

Paul, what's your best item so far?

0:30:450:30:47

Funnily enough, the item we've sold.

0:30:470:30:49

We sold a lovely Omega watch, £55.

0:30:490:30:50

-55 quid, not bad. We didn't do quite that well, did we?

-Nah.

0:30:500:30:55

-What did we get, Simon?

-250.

-Yes!

0:30:550:30:58

More importantly,

0:30:580:30:59

do you reckon you can sell all your items at the house sale?

0:30:590:31:02

We can give it a try.

0:31:020:31:03

I think we've got some great sellable bits and pieces.

0:31:030:31:05

-Are we confident, Simon?

-Absolutely, always.

-Yeah, definitely right.

0:31:050:31:09

After our big clearout, Simon, Trudy and the team have been

0:31:130:31:17

inviting friends, family, neighbours and locals to the house sale.

0:31:170:31:21

We've got a vast array of stuff to sell.

0:31:210:31:24

But with a target of £700 to make,

0:31:240:31:26

just from selling Simon's clutter, it's going to be no easy feat.

0:31:260:31:29

So far, we've already made £305 between us,

0:31:290:31:32

which is a cracking effort.

0:31:320:31:34

But all that matters now is selling as much stuff

0:31:340:31:37

on our stalls as possible.

0:31:370:31:39

For as much money as we can.

0:31:390:31:42

It's been nearly two weeks since we was here at Simon's house

0:31:420:31:45

and cleared out all his unwanted items and clutter.

0:31:450:31:48

But that's only the first part of the challenge. Here's the next bit.

0:31:480:31:51

That's turning that trash into cash.

0:31:510:31:53

But thanks to a lot of hard work,

0:31:530:31:55

we've got a fantastic turn-out for our sale here today.

0:31:550:31:57

I think it's about time we declared this house sale...

0:31:570:31:59

ALL: Open!

0:31:590:32:00

The bargain hunters aren't slow to get stuck in and start browsing.

0:32:090:32:12

Let's just hope most of them spend their money with Trudy and me.

0:32:120:32:15

It's good see we've already got interest in the cigar box.

0:32:150:32:19

Yeah, I'm interested in the box.

0:32:200:32:23

Well, you've found one of our nicest items, there, sir.

0:32:230:32:25

Are you a cigar smoker, do you like cigars?

0:32:250:32:27

I'm not a cigar smoker, it's just the box, really.

0:32:270:32:29

Do you know what, the box is beautiful.

0:32:290:32:31

It's rosewood. There's mother of pearl.

0:32:310:32:34

And, do you know what,

0:32:340:32:36

I have a feeling this guy's name is Steve, which means...

0:32:360:32:38

-There we are.

-S. And look at that.

0:32:380:32:42

-We are hoping for £20 for this one.

-£20.

0:32:420:32:44

How does that sound?

0:32:440:32:46

What about if we throw in the puzzles as well?

0:32:460:32:47

-These ones here?

-Yeah.

0:32:470:32:49

That's how to make Mark Franks in one easy move. There we are.

0:32:490:32:52

-How about 25 quid, the lot, sir?

-25, OK.

-Is that all right with you?

0:32:520:32:56

-No way, 23.

-23.

-23.

0:32:560:32:59

As it's got your name, got an S on the box.

0:32:590:33:00

I think it was meant to be for you.

0:33:000:33:02

Thank you very much. There you are.

0:33:020:33:05

£23, that's a cracking sale to start.

0:33:050:33:09

You better begin worrying, Mark.

0:33:090:33:11

Worried?! Not at all. Watch and learn, my friend. Watch and learn.

0:33:110:33:15

My friend is interested in it for her hallway,

0:33:150:33:18

to put things in and she's asked me to come along.

0:33:180:33:21

-How rich is your friend?

-Well, not very rich.

0:33:210:33:24

-Cos you look very wealthy.

-Oh, right.

-You do.

0:33:240:33:28

What would you like to offer?

0:33:280:33:30

-15?

-£50, that sounds wonderful.

-15.

0:33:310:33:33

-Do you hear that? 50.

-That's absolutely super.

0:33:330:33:35

-50, we've got a deal. Let's shake on that. 50 quid, brilliant. Pay up.

-15.

0:33:350:33:40

15. It's the way you Essex girls talk, isn't it?

0:33:400:33:44

Is that the best you can do? 15?

0:33:440:33:47

-20?

-21 and we've got a deal.

0:33:470:33:49

-That extra pound will make all the difference.

-There, there we go.

0:33:490:33:53

-Thank you.

-Look at the diamonds in that ring.

0:33:530:33:55

-Lovely, thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:33:550:33:59

That's the blanket box that was cluttering up the bedroom, gone.

0:33:590:34:01

And hard cash in its place.

0:34:010:34:03

And I've got a plan for making even more from it.

0:34:030:34:06

-£21.50 and I'll throw in a rhino, how's that sound?

-Yes, sure.

0:34:060:34:10

She's bought a rhino.

0:34:100:34:12

Another 50 pence isn't to be sniffed at,

0:34:120:34:13

especially when Paul is selling hard.

0:34:130:34:16

But I find having a little bit of fun with the customers is what helps.

0:34:160:34:20

-Very nice.

-Very nice too, yeah.

-Do you come here often?

0:34:200:34:24

I can't remember.

0:34:240:34:26

-Do I look nice?

-No? I do, don't I?.

0:34:260:34:29

How much would you like to pay for these items?

0:34:300:34:33

Close your eyes, I've got a surprise. Close your eyes. Close your eyes.

0:34:330:34:37

Keep them closed. Keep them closed.

0:34:370:34:38

-It looks good.

-How much would you like to pay?

0:34:410:34:44

Umm...

0:34:440:34:46

-£5?

-£5, I think that's fair enough, yeah.

0:34:460:34:48

-Are you happy with that, Simon?

-I'm very happy with that.

0:34:480:34:51

There we are, we got a deal. Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:34:510:34:53

-Thank you to you.

-Wear it home, you look great.

0:34:530:34:57

It's a shame you sold that hat, Mark.

0:34:580:34:59

I thought it looked rather fetching on you.

0:34:590:35:01

This is no time to talk headgear.

0:35:010:35:03

If we're going to reach our target of £700, we need to keep on selling.

0:35:040:35:08

It's a good job, though,

0:35:080:35:10

that today's crowd seem to think there's loads of bargains to be had.

0:35:100:35:13

It's amazing,

0:35:130:35:15

I don't know how he's accumulated all the goods that he has.

0:35:150:35:18

He must be a shopaholic. No, there's some wonderful stuff here.

0:35:180:35:25

If people can't find a bargain here, they won't find one anywhere.

0:35:250:35:29

Well, actually, I think it's particularly on my stall

0:35:290:35:33

where the bargains can be found, starting with some of the books.

0:35:330:35:36

How much for the book, please?

0:35:360:35:38

-Are you thinking of going on holiday, then?

-Yes.

0:35:380:35:40

-The Lake District, that's my neck of the woods.

-Really?

0:35:400:35:43

I'm not far from there, I know exactly where this is.

0:35:430:35:45

-Yup, it's Hawkshead, have you ever been up there?

-No, no.

0:35:450:35:47

Do you know what, it's well worth a visit, actually.

0:35:470:35:50

These books are amazing, all full of photographs.

0:35:500:35:52

So, that's four quid for that one.

0:35:520:35:54

The Millionaire's Book Of Quotations.

0:35:540:35:56

-Very good.

-How about a fiver for those two?

0:35:560:35:58

-That's fine, thanks very much indeed, cheers.

-Thank you, sir.

0:35:580:36:01

A fiver for just two books.

0:36:010:36:02

With the amount of books on our stall,

0:36:020:36:04

if we keep those prices up, victory could be ours.

0:36:040:36:08

That's a lot of books to shift and perhaps it wasn't such

0:36:080:36:11

a good idea to sell The Millionaire's Guide before you've read it.

0:36:110:36:14

It may just have given you a few tips on how to win today.

0:36:140:36:18

Possibly so, but we haven't got time to read,

0:36:180:36:20

there's buyers just waiting to part with their money.

0:36:200:36:23

-Yes, who's first?

-The swingball set.

0:36:250:36:29

Look, ladies, you might have got this. Is that for the back garden?

0:36:290:36:32

-Yes.

-All right, well, that's hours and hours of fun.

0:36:320:36:35

It doesn't need a battery. It's one of those self-sufficient items.

0:36:350:36:38

-If I said a tenner for that, how does that sound?

-OK, then.

0:36:380:36:40

-Is that all right with you?

-Yeah, a tenner's fine.

0:36:400:36:42

-There we go, if you take the lady's money.

-There we go.

0:36:420:36:45

Well, Paul, respect where it's due. You've made some good sales.

0:36:450:36:48

But we're not hanging around either.

0:36:480:36:51

Simon and I have left our stall for a minute to see

0:36:510:36:53

if we can sell the chest-of-drawers from the bedroom.

0:36:530:36:55

One of Simon's neighbours, Bev, has expressed an interest in it

0:36:550:36:59

and has come over to the house to have a proper look.

0:36:590:37:02

-Right, you know Simon, don't you?

-Certainly do.

0:37:020:37:05

Right, now this is the chest-of-drawers

0:37:050:37:07

or as we call it, Simon?

0:37:070:37:09

-A COD.

-A what? What's that mean?

-Chest-of-drawers.

0:37:090:37:13

Right, do you want to go have a look at it?

0:37:130:37:16

It's big.

0:37:160:37:18

Yup, as you can, a seven-drawer chest-of-drawers.

0:37:210:37:24

Obviously, it may seem quite modern.

0:37:250:37:27

-No, it's good.

-Yeah, I'm looking for about 30 quid for it, Bev.

-Umm, 25?

0:37:300:37:35

I'd rather have 30.

0:37:370:37:38

I'm not very good at haggling and I think it's well worth 30, isn't it?

0:37:380:37:41

-In that case, Bev, we could go to 40.

-Um, possibly not.

-35?

-Oooh.

0:37:410:37:47

-No, I'll stick you at 30.

-35, on my knee. Begging, begging.

0:37:480:37:54

Please, I beg you.

0:37:540:37:55

-How could I say no?

-Yes.

-Ha-ha-ha.

0:37:570:38:01

Oh dear, has no one ever told you that it's rude to beg, Mark.

0:38:010:38:03

I suppose it did get you another fiver, though,

0:38:030:38:06

so I bet Simon's pleased.

0:38:060:38:07

Yeah, I was really impressed with that.

0:38:070:38:11

I mean, quite happy, asked my price, 30 quid, settle for my price

0:38:110:38:14

and then Mark stepped in, gave it the old flannel

0:38:140:38:17

and that was it, she was another fiver down.

0:38:170:38:19

Fantastic. If I'd have done it, I'd have lost the fiver.

0:38:190:38:22

Stick with me, Simon, and I'll get you earning extra fivers

0:38:220:38:26

and tenners in no time.

0:38:260:38:27

And we'll need to get those extra pounds because Paul

0:38:270:38:30

and Trudy are working hard, selling as much as possible.

0:38:300:38:35

-Ah, perfect.

-Absolutely meant to be. That'll last forever.

0:38:350:38:38

I mean, that leather, just give it a good scrub

0:38:380:38:41

and it will last you for ages, that.

0:38:410:38:43

-So, how much?

-Well, we were hoping for a tenner,

0:38:430:38:45

but I do know that you've bought something already.

0:38:450:38:48

-Yes.

-So we are doing discounts.

0:38:480:38:49

-So how about 12 for cash?

-THEY ALL LAUGH

0:38:490:38:52

That's an excellent deal.

0:38:520:38:54

There's a few bits missing on the top, as well.

0:38:580:39:00

-Yeah, and that's not right.

-That would knock our price down.

0:39:000:39:03

-How much?

-Eight?

-£8, that sounds, it's music to my ears.

0:39:030:39:09

That's a great result, getting £8 for the footstool from the living room.

0:39:090:39:13

The house sale is in full swing

0:39:130:39:14

and things are flying off both the stalls.

0:39:140:39:18

And money is flying into both of our tins.

0:39:180:39:20

-Make me an offer I can't refuse.

-A tenner.

0:39:220:39:25

No, I can refuse that, easily. Yeah, watch.

0:39:250:39:27

No. That's how easy was that was.

0:39:270:39:30

-Yeah, I think £3 is fair.

-OK, £3 is fine by me.

0:39:300:39:33

Right, if you don't have a body like Peter Andre by next week,

0:39:380:39:41

you can bring it back.

0:39:410:39:44

An offer of, say, 15 quid?

0:39:440:39:45

You can make it, you look like a wealthy man,

0:39:450:39:48

you can do better than that.

0:39:480:39:49

-I've gone in at my best price.

-You've gone in at your best price!

0:39:490:39:52

-I bet you haven't.

-How much do you bet?

-I bet you a tenner.

0:39:520:39:55

-Never gamble. 16?

-Oh, you're a hard man. All right, then, 16.

0:39:570:40:01

-See I told you, that's a tenner you owe me.

-Right, 16 quid, please.

0:40:010:40:06

See, never settle for the first price.

0:40:060:40:08

Keep pushing and you'll probably get offered a bit more.

0:40:080:40:11

Even if it's only a pound.

0:40:110:40:13

I reckon, with deal's like that, that the buyers here today

0:40:130:40:16

have to rate our selling as better than Paul and Trudy's.

0:40:160:40:19

Out of Simon and Trudy, Simon was probably the best haggler.

0:40:190:40:23

I would say that both of them were very good.

0:40:230:40:25

Both of them were very good indeed.

0:40:250:40:27

Out of the two, I think Simon was the best because he said £2

0:40:270:40:31

and I ended up going to three then five. So I don't know how that happened.

0:40:310:40:34

We're not letting that get us down.

0:40:340:40:36

And I've stepped indoors to deal with a couple of buyers,

0:40:360:40:38

interested in two of the video cameras from the study.

0:40:380:40:40

OK, now it's the turn to sell these cameras,

0:40:420:40:44

-remember the cameras that we had?

-Yup.

0:40:440:40:46

I thought we'd come away from the stall,

0:40:460:40:47

give us a chance to have a closer look at them.

0:40:470:40:49

And I have two gentlemen,

0:40:490:40:51

hopefully interested in buying both these cameras.

0:40:510:40:53

So a little tip here for you. You remember when we sold the watch?

0:40:530:40:55

-Yes, I do.

-Try and make a nice conversation with someone.

0:40:550:40:58

We've got a fellow enthusiast here, with cameras.

0:40:580:41:00

Try and get on a level,

0:41:000:41:01

get chatting about what they're going to with them.

0:41:010:41:03

Sell the idea of owning the camera to them.

0:41:030:41:05

-And hopefully we'll get these away.

-OK.

-All right.

0:41:050:41:07

-We're looking probably £30-40 a camera.

-Right.

0:41:070:41:09

-If you look after those for a second.

-I will do.

-I'll go and get them.

0:41:090:41:12

-Right, OK, here we are, Trudy. Now, then.

-Hello, Trudy.

-All right?

0:41:120:41:18

-Hello.

-OK, now, remind me again which one was which?

0:41:180:41:21

You both wanted cameras but which one? Yours was the Cannon, was it?

0:41:210:41:24

-Yes, the Cannon one.

-And yours, the Panasonic.

-Panasonic.

-Right.

0:41:240:41:26

So, have a good look at them.

0:41:260:41:28

-And are you keen, sort of, amateur photographers, you two?

-Try to be.

0:41:300:41:33

Try to be. Right, OK. You know more about these, Trudy?

0:41:330:41:36

I think they're absolutely brilliant.

0:41:360:41:38

I mean, they're so compact, they'd even fit in my handbag.

0:41:380:41:41

And so easy to use, which is what I always go for, I think.

0:41:410:41:44

Totally idiot-proof. TRUDY AND PAUL LAUGH

0:41:440:41:47

-But, no, they're really good. We were thinking about £50 for this one.

-40?

0:41:480:41:56

-45?

-Done.

0:41:570:41:59

-Sound all right to you? OK.

-And this one, say...

0:41:590:42:03

45?

0:42:050:42:06

-40?

-Yeah.

-Lovely. Thank you.

-Brilliant.

0:42:070:42:11

-That sounds lovely, well done, boys.

-Thank you.

-So you both happy?

-Very.

0:42:110:42:15

-Very happy, yeah.

-Excellent.

0:42:150:42:16

£85 for the two cameras is brilliant.

0:42:160:42:18

The money is really rolling in now.

0:42:180:42:21

It might well be,

0:42:210:42:23

but I think you're still going to be on the losing side today, Paul.

0:42:230:42:26

Don't be so sure.

0:42:260:42:28

With a load of potential customers still browsing the stalls and

0:42:280:42:32

a target of £700 to reach, there's still plenty of deals to be done.

0:42:320:42:35

I can see you've found Ronnie Corbett's hoover.

0:42:420:42:44

-Ten, keep them coming. Lovely.

-Right, anybody else now?

0:42:470:42:52

-My lovely assistant will help you with the change.

-The glamorous one.

0:42:520:42:56

Yes, the glamorous assistant.

0:42:560:42:58

-You into martial arts?

-Yeah, it's good.

0:43:020:43:05

I'm going to get behind you, Simon.

0:43:050:43:06

State-of-the art ones here, what have we got?

0:43:060:43:10

Oh, there's here just for you. Men Of War. Eh?

0:43:100:43:13

Terror And Conflict, there we go. Intergalactical Space Wars.

0:43:130:43:16

-Two of those, please.

-That's four quid. Thank you very much.

0:43:160:43:20

-You don't want to make it three for a fiver?

-Oooh.

0:43:200:43:23

Another one there, how about that one? Three for a fiver.

0:43:230:43:26

-Oh, what a hard salesman. Hey?

-Great job, thank you very much.

0:43:260:43:30

-Another satisfied customer and more money in the tin.

-Nice work, Paul.

0:43:300:43:36

But Simon and I aren't letting up in our selling either.

0:43:360:43:38

That's the nicest ball in Essex. We was hoping for £25 for that.

0:43:380:43:43

-A bit lower, maybe.

-We might have to haggle, mightn't we?

0:43:440:43:47

-A little bit, yeah.

-What's it worth to you?

-Three quid?

0:43:470:43:50

Did he say three quid? I thought he said a fiver.

0:43:500:43:54

-I thought he said a fiver.

-Did you?

0:43:540:43:55

Did anyone think he said three quid or was it a fiver?

0:43:550:43:59

-Fiver.

-All right, fair enough. It is a good cause. Top man.

0:43:590:44:06

I didn't have the power of the army behind me.

0:44:060:44:10

PAUL: Using military force, is that allowed?

0:44:100:44:12

There's nothing in the rules to say we can't, Paul.

0:44:120:44:15

And if it helps us win today, even better.

0:44:150:44:18

We're not just interested in the money, though.

0:44:190:44:21

We've also been helping Simon get his house back

0:44:210:44:23

after ten years of clutter-collecting.

0:44:230:44:25

Reclaiming rooms that were disappearing beneath the junk

0:44:250:44:29

and the jumble.

0:44:290:44:30

Simon's bedroom had become

0:44:300:44:32

so cluttered it was almost impossible to move in.

0:44:320:44:36

But that's all changing.

0:44:360:44:37

The Trash To Cash team is hard at work, clearing, tidying

0:44:370:44:41

and re-ordering it.

0:44:410:44:43

I can't wait to see Simon's face when he sees the room once it's finished.

0:44:430:44:47

The crowd still look like they've got money to spend.

0:44:470:44:49

So I think it's time we raised the stakes even further

0:44:490:44:53

and see who will rule the option of our handyman items.

0:44:530:44:57

OK, can we have everyone's attention, please.

0:44:570:44:59

Calm down a minute. We've come to an exciting part of the day.

0:44:590:45:02

-Can I have a woo?

-ALL: Woo!

0:45:020:45:04

Right, it's now time to auction off our handyman items.

0:45:040:45:07

Now, I know Mark has a lovely bedside cabinet,

0:45:070:45:09

sort of cupboard, over there.

0:45:090:45:11

But we have this fantastic stool, here.

0:45:110:45:14

Now, believe it or not, ten days ago,

0:45:140:45:16

or just over ten days now, this was a complete wreck.

0:45:160:45:18

It was an ordinary stool, you wouldn't have given it house room.

0:45:180:45:21

But our fabulous handyman, Danny,

0:45:210:45:22

has turned it into something quite special.

0:45:220:45:24

-It has now a foam bottom.

-I reckon a nice beach chair.

0:45:240:45:28

That's nice, great for somebody who maybe

0:45:280:45:29

wants something for the garden or for a computer.

0:45:290:45:32

And what I'm going to do is auction it off to the highest bidder.

0:45:320:45:35

There's no reserve price.

0:45:350:45:36

This is going to be sold here today. OK.

0:45:360:45:38

£2, there must be somebody for two quid. £2 at the back, I have there.

0:45:380:45:42

Do I see four anywhere?

0:45:420:45:43

-That lady there, that's £4, were you scratching your head?

-Ha-ha-ha.

0:45:430:45:46

That'll do as a bid, I'll take that £4. Want to make it a fiver, mate?

0:45:460:45:49

Five with the gentleman there. Thank you very much. Do I see £6 anywhere?

0:45:490:45:53

£6, come on, there must be somebody. It's lovely.

0:45:530:45:56

It took ages to do this. £6 there, thank you very much.

0:45:560:45:58

Member of the force in there, £6. Do I see £8, sir?

0:45:580:46:02

-£6?

-Eight.

-£8, we have, thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:46:020:46:07

Can we make it double figures? Who wants to make it a round tenner?

0:46:070:46:10

Come on, there must be somebody.

0:46:100:46:11

A round tenner to that gentleman, there.

0:46:110:46:13

Anybody else want to come in? We have £10 here.

0:46:130:46:15

I want a massive round of applause, please. After this.

0:46:150:46:18

-Well done!

-Thank you very much.

0:46:180:46:19

-He did well.

-He did all right. I'm just a little bit concerned now.

0:46:240:46:28

-Bit nervous, are you?

-Little bit nervous.

-Aah, see.

0:46:280:46:30

Was that praise there, Mark?

0:46:300:46:34

The pressure's now on to get a good price for the units.

0:46:340:46:37

I've got these two lovely cabinets which Danny restored.

0:46:370:46:40

Who's got £1? Straight away, pound there. Two? £2?

0:46:400:46:43

Somebody put there hand up over there, two, three, three, four.

0:46:430:46:48

Anyone got five? Soldier, must be a £5 soldier here, somewhere.

0:46:480:46:51

-Five, thank you, sir. Six, sir? Six?

-Six.

-Six. Seven? Eight anywhere?

0:46:510:46:56

Eight, sir, please. Stand by your beds, £8.

0:46:560:46:59

I've got to beat Paul, eight. Nine? Nine? Ten? Ten. 11? 11.

0:46:590:47:05

11? 11! There's a good man. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Any more for any more?

0:47:050:47:09

Can we see 12?

0:47:090:47:11

-Going once at 11, can we see 12? Pretty please, come on, guys.

-Go on.

0:47:110:47:16

Go on! 11.50, who's got 11.50? Last chance, 11.50.

0:47:160:47:22

£12 there! Wonderful.

0:47:220:47:24

£12. Any more for any more?

0:47:240:47:26

-Going once, going twice, Paul, Simon, are you happy?

-Happy.

-Happy, sold!

0:47:260:47:30

Gone to the gentleman there.

0:47:300:47:31

All we've got to do is get some money. Well done, guys.

0:47:310:47:36

Take that, Paul. Ha-ha.

0:47:360:47:38

There we go, victory is mine.

0:47:380:47:40

Smugness doesn't suit you, Mark.

0:47:410:47:43

It's now getting towards the end of the sale and everything must go.

0:47:430:47:47

Any stuff left at the end will go to a charity shop.

0:47:470:47:50

So, as we lower our prices, there's even more chance to bag a bargain.

0:47:500:47:54

He looks rich. Is your dad rich? Is your dad rich? Yes or no?

0:47:540:47:59

Is he generous? I bet he's got a few bob, hasn't he?

0:47:590:48:02

Is he a really good dad?

0:48:020:48:03

Yeah? I bet he's going to give you loads of money to buy that, isn't he?

0:48:030:48:06

-Two quid.

-Is that it?

-I'll give you two quid.

0:48:060:48:09

You can do better than two quid, surely?

0:48:090:48:12

One note, any note, any note will do.

0:48:120:48:14

A bluey, bluey, is that a fair price?

0:48:140:48:17

-I think so.

-Do you want change. Say no.

-No.

-Good, that'll do.

0:48:170:48:21

Yeah, no, no, yeah.

0:48:210:48:23

All right, there we are, lovely. Thank you very much indeed.

0:48:230:48:26

You're a gentleman.

0:48:260:48:27

Another fiver in the tin

0:48:270:48:28

and I'm afraid you're going to finish second best today, Paul.

0:48:280:48:31

The house sale is not over yet, though.

0:48:310:48:33

There's still time to make what could be the winning sale.

0:48:330:48:36

Anybody else now? Come on, final deals of the day.

0:48:360:48:39

-Spend some money, come on then.

-What size are you?

0:48:390:48:41

These are great for you, look, here we are.

0:48:410:48:44

Look at, what size are you?

0:48:440:48:46

Lovely, top man.

0:48:490:48:50

-£5 for the boots, is that an offer?

-Is that each boot, Paul?

0:48:530:48:56

-How much money you got on you?

-I'll give you a fiver.

0:48:560:48:59

-How much money you got on you?

-More than that, I have.

0:48:590:49:02

-But I'll give you a fiver.

-Please.

-Fiver.

0:49:020:49:05

How about a nice travel bag? For your travels.

0:49:050:49:07

-Happy?

-Yes, very happy.

-Yes, that's fair enough.

0:49:070:49:11

All right, OK, you've got a couple of books.

0:49:110:49:14

-All right, that's a nice leather jacket, eh?

-Hm-mm.

0:49:140:49:16

-How much money you got?

-How much my mum wants to give me.

0:49:160:49:19

How much money do you want to give him, Mum? Don't point that at me.

0:49:190:49:22

How much money you got?

0:49:220:49:24

Only 50p on me, but Mum doesn't love me enough to give me anything else.

0:49:240:49:28

-Oh, no, your mum doesn't love you enough.

-No.

-Are you unloved?

-Yeah.

0:49:280:49:31

Oh, dear. She looks like such a great mum as well.

0:49:310:49:34

She does, it's just an act.

0:49:340:49:35

-She is a lovely mum, isn't she?

-Depends.

0:49:350:49:40

-How much do you love your mum?

-A lot.

-A lot.

0:49:400:49:42

-Enough to get another quid off her?

-Enough to get another quid off you?

0:49:420:49:45

Take it all back and I will.

0:49:450:49:48

-You're a brilliant mum and I love you a lot.

-Yey!

-I'll go with that.

0:49:480:49:52

We'll have another quid off Mum. Come on, then.

0:49:520:49:54

Just throw it all in there, I'll have the lot. Go on. And your 50p.

0:49:540:49:57

Sling it all in. Every penny counts.

0:49:570:50:00

The money's been rolling in and bargains have been had by all.

0:50:010:50:04

We bought an excellent accessory kit for the Wii,

0:50:040:50:07

which the kids are going to love. That's brilliant.

0:50:070:50:11

And we bought some PC games and Lauren bought a little rhinoceros.

0:50:110:50:14

Today, my granddaughter and I bought these hats.

0:50:140:50:20

I should probably become the town crier. Yey-yey-hey-yey-hey-yey.

0:50:200:50:25

I got a really good deal on my HD camera.

0:50:270:50:29

So I'm very pleased with it.

0:50:290:50:32

There's still stuff to go, though.

0:50:320:50:33

We're having a final sale now.

0:50:350:50:37

Anyone that hasn't bought anything, things are very, very cheap.

0:50:370:50:40

-Videos 50p.

-Come on, guys. Last chance to spend some money with us.

0:50:400:50:45

Don't think of yourself, think of people for presents, you know. 50p a book.

0:50:450:50:48

Who hasn't spent some money with me?

0:50:480:50:50

Have you spent any money with me yet? Are you sure?

0:50:500:50:52

I should cocoa, she says.

0:50:540:50:56

There must be something here we can interest you in.

0:50:560:50:59

Lovely, thank you, darling.

0:51:030:51:04

Thank you very much. You've been very generous today.

0:51:070:51:09

That's a great camera tripod. Thank you very much for that.

0:51:090:51:11

-Guess how much that is.

-£2.

-Spot on.

0:51:110:51:14

-I think it's over, mate, don't you?

-Absolutely.

-A-tten-tion!

0:51:160:51:19

Dismissed, the sale is over.

0:51:220:51:24

Well, that's it.

0:51:270:51:29

I think we've had a pretty successful day,

0:51:290:51:32

but now there's nothing more we can do.

0:51:320:51:34

The items left over will be going to a charity shop because,

0:51:340:51:37

don't forget, it cannot become clutter again.

0:51:370:51:39

Before we get to the all important results,

0:51:410:51:44

there's the little matter of the makeover to reveal.

0:51:440:51:47

Now, Simon, do you remember on the day of the clearout, we went in your

0:51:470:51:50

room, couldn't actually get in there, couldn't move, you remember?

0:51:500:51:53

Yeah, it was very cluttered.

0:51:530:51:54

Now, just remind me what it was like in there?

0:51:540:51:57

Well, it was really set out, basically wrong for me.

0:51:570:52:00

I couldn't get my wheelchair down the side or the end of the bed

0:52:000:52:03

and it was just cluttered and uncomfortable, really.

0:52:030:52:07

So, Simon's bedroom desperately needed making over,

0:52:070:52:10

but what will he make of the results?

0:52:100:52:12

Oh, wow. Is this the same bedroom? It's so much lighter.

0:52:120:52:17

Oh, good grief, that's amazing.

0:52:170:52:19

You can actually get round.

0:52:200:52:22

I can, look. All the way to the end of the bed.

0:52:240:52:27

Brilliant, a clean wardrobe and everything. Fantastic.

0:52:270:52:30

Wow.

0:52:300:52:32

That's really cool.

0:52:320:52:34

And the clock. That clock is great.

0:52:340:52:37

-Are you a happy bunny?

-Yes, I'm a very happy bunny.

0:52:370:52:41

Very happy bunny indeed.

0:52:410:52:43

-Yeah, that was really worth waiting for. Ha-ha-ha.

-Good stuff.

-Great.

0:52:430:52:48

-Right, shall we go and tell them we've won?

-Absolutely.

0:52:480:52:51

-I mean, go and check the figures.

-We have won.

-I'm sure.

0:52:510:52:54

-They couldn't have beaten us.

-No, not a chance.

0:52:540:52:56

Thank you very much, yeah, lovely.

0:52:570:53:00

Simon clearly loves his new-look bedroom. And what a transformation.

0:53:010:53:06

He now has space to manoeuvre around and the theme

0:53:060:53:09

of personalised, motorbike artwork is carried on from the study.

0:53:090:53:13

Simon now has a bedroom that's perfect for relaxing.

0:53:140:53:18

We've also been busy around the entire house.

0:53:180:53:21

The Trash To Cash team has removed unwanted clutter, tidied

0:53:210:53:26

and cleaned throughout.

0:53:260:53:27

Creating a junk-free home for Simon to finally enjoy.

0:53:270:53:31

But now, it's the moment of truth. Have we made our £700 target?

0:53:310:53:35

And, importantly, which team has grabbed the glory

0:53:350:53:37

and turned the most trash into cash?

0:53:370:53:41

OK, the day's now finished. It's been mad.

0:53:450:53:47

Lots of deals have been happening over your stall,

0:53:470:53:50

-we've had lots on our stall as well.

-We have.

0:53:500:53:52

Right, well, now it's time to find out exactly how much we've made.

0:53:520:53:55

Before we do, Trudy, did Paul behave himself today?

0:53:550:53:58

-Paul was an impeccable gentleman as always.

-Makes a nice change.

0:53:580:54:01

-Simon, what a lovely bunch of people you had round today.

-They were great.

0:54:010:54:04

-Did you enjoy it?

-Yes, I did, had a lovely time, thanks.

-Good fun.

0:54:040:54:07

On the count of three, I think we should open the boxes.

0:54:070:54:09

One, Two, three.

0:54:090:54:11

-Oh.

-Wahey!

-Well done.

0:54:130:54:14

Well, do you know what, you've smashed through you £700 target.

0:54:140:54:17

You've actually made £845.65.

0:54:170:54:21

-Now, remind me what your charity was again?

-Help For Heroes.

0:54:210:54:24

-Well, they get £422.83. And you two get £422.82.

-Absolutely brilliant.

0:54:240:54:32

A few weeks later and Simon is really feeling

0:54:380:54:40

the benefits of his newly decluttered home.

0:54:400:54:43

There's a lot more, sort of, breathing space in the house now.

0:54:440:54:48

Rooms actually feel more comfortable to be in.

0:54:480:54:50

And it's spurred me on to get fitted wardrobes made,

0:54:500:54:52

which I can now get into.

0:54:520:54:54

And it's great, it's a feeling of space.

0:54:540:54:56

There's no part of my bedroom that's out of bounds for me any more.

0:54:560:55:00

I can reach everything. It looks better.

0:55:000:55:02

It looks friendlier, it looks warmer.

0:55:020:55:04

And although he's still saving for the trip to the American

0:55:040:55:07

west coast, Simon has already managed a holiday in Orlando

0:55:070:55:10

and a dream driving experience.

0:55:100:55:12

Doing the programme has enabled me to, not only go to Orlando,

0:55:130:55:18

which was fantastic and I'd already had that booked, but enabled me

0:55:180:55:22

to get a big V8 car for ten days and I had a fabulous time.

0:55:220:55:25

That was really, really a special time for me.

0:55:260:55:29

Well, let's hope Simon also achieves his west coast dream trip soon.

0:55:290:55:34

But, for now, he's chuffed at the money raised for his chosen charity.

0:55:340:55:38

It was lovely to be able to raise some money for Help For Heroes.

0:55:380:55:41

It's a charity that is very close to my heart.

0:55:410:55:45

And I've always wanted to do something for them.

0:55:450:55:48

Which I could do.

0:55:480:55:50

So doing this gave me an opportunity to give something back

0:55:500:55:53

to the people I really, sort of, respect.

0:55:530:55:56

You know, I've really enjoyed myself in Chelmsford

0:56:000:56:03

and it's been a great day, hasn't it?

0:56:030:56:04

Yeah, you didn't come last, you came second.

0:56:040:56:06

But we raised a lot of money. A good bloke and a very good cause as well.

0:56:080:56:12

If you want to see how we do next time, join us on Trash To Cash.
