Perfect timing, I really needed to see this right now. My therapist is helping me with my hoarding issues, and I have a shed full of fabric, and my second bedroom is half full. If my daughter would come to visit, there would be no room for her to sleep, and that was one of the main reasons why I wanted a 2 bedroom apartment.
The British way of handling excess stuff is lovely. I especially like finding stuff to sell. The whole key is purging some stuff as time passes. As a crafter I get how supplies accumulate . So have been taking excess stuff to thrift stores. Love this series.
Keep it Simple. Example: I have 5 book shelves. The only books I keep are ones that fit into these shelves. I only keep books by my favorite authors. I limit the number of authors I collect to 3. The other books are one-offs. I keep open areas for bookends and collectibles or knick knacks. If I buy a new book I must have space for that book on the shelf or I have to get rid of a book in order for the new book to remain. I donate my old books to the library or other organizations so that other people can enjoy them, too. I see it as a gift to others to donate my well loved and no longer needed book. If I have a need for sentiments I can take a picture of that item so I have it to look back on. I can also make notes aboit a book that I have read, why I liked it, what inspired me, etc. These things help me to love my things and not become a hoarder like my mom was. I love books. I love stuff. All kinds of stuff!! I could collect a million things but I choose not to so that I can enjoy what I currently have and just live day to day life without having too much to overwhelm me. I always seem to have things to donate and that's okay. New comes in and old stuff goes out. It's the way of life. And we have to accept that. Also, by not collecting all the things you can enjoy other people's homes and their collections. The internet is now a great resource for learning and reading everything!! Books on Kindle can keep you from creating a hoard or being bombarded by a hoard. You just have to make the decision to say I can let go. I can let go because I'm not going to be here forever and as my time is limited I should enjoy all that I have while I'm here. The rest of what I don't use can go to someone who can use it. I would like my items to remain in good condition until it is passed along to someone else. So I have to be able to keep my things and my spaces clean and maintained. I will not neglect my family, my responsibilities, my own life for the sake of my stuff. I can let go because I refuse to have so many things that overwhelm my family after I pass away. I can let go because when I look at my things they make me happy. I can let go because I want my family and friends to look at my things and it brings them happiness peace and fond memories. And if it does none of these things.... It has to leave. And I say good bye. 👋 I make sure the item leaves my home within 3 days. If you set a time limit you will find it helps you to stay on task and focused. And most importantly....If you need help ASK SOMEONE. 💜🙏💖
Here in the US, an outhouse is an outside bathroom for people with no plumbing! Every time they spoke about her overflowing outhouses I had a very different picture in mind!
I think the big difference is in how they are handled. On Hoarders, firstly they're in it for the ratings, and drama sells. They also don't deal with the trauma factor of why they've become hoarders, they just show up and start throwing things away, of course that's going to stress someone out. They also do it all in just 3 days, where here, they help the person to work through a long process. Much less traumatizing.
Repent from sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved from God's eternal judgment and damnation. Jesus died to forgive us of our sins and arose to give us eternal life! Jesus saves!
I would love their assistance. I live in America. I like how they aren't rushing you. They show respect and care about the things you care about. I think that's why the ladies were so kind and didn't have a challenging time in letting go.
Maybe you could advertise. My daughter helps people with their clutter and cleaning. She helped a woman who was a hoarder. We live in Canada though. I hope you find someone.
I enjoyed seeing how something that looked impossible, really was doable.. it is sad how something that we like can snowball into a messy clutter that just keeps growing. Until it overtakes your environment and life.
YES! Local houses of worship, donation bins, etc. Lots of organizations will even pick up from your home for free. The Lupus Foundation lets you schedule pick up online. You just leave the stuff on your front porch or in the lobby of your apartment building.
I really appriciate the help the hoarders get in UK compared to US. In UK the people are kind, warm, respectful, and sell some items. In US the helpers and the hoarders and their families are more aggressive. I think that’s a cultural thing. And the aggressiveness and the stress and rush seems not be helpful for the cause either. The end result is good in both continents. 🇸🇪
I think this is just a classier show. The American TV shows seem to be trying to trigger high stress, screaming and fighting on purpose. But also not all hoarders have items that are actually valuable.
It could have something to do with the amount of time each show spends with the hoarders. in the US, they have to &et things done in 3 days, or it could have taken a week behind the, in the UK, they work with them for 6 weeks...or so it seems. 😉😊
I feel like my house currently looks like a hoarding house 😭😭. There's paint cans and random tools and broken furniture scattered everywhere on top of normal mess especially the garage because the whole place needs renovating.
Lillian and Lisa seems like such a sweethearts I am glad they are doing well in their new space and life also Lisa's grandbaby is OMG CUTE! Glad everything is working out for the two
@@reginagrobosz8807 you not like cleaning should motivate you to get rid of everything, the less you have the less you have to clean, good luck, take life one day at a time.
If they brought in a better staff, like the competition (?) who has Dr. Stelios Kiosses and Zoe and I forgot the other woman’s name.. so sorry.. they’re clearly more patient, more experienced and much more compassionate. And Dr. Kiosses makes me feel that he actually managed to move the needle and the hoarders are equipped with the tools to help themselves. Whereas here, Curtis usually undersells their valuable stuff and it’s clear that he’s on a deadline to find something and sell it, so he takes things the hoarders don’t want to sell and gets very little money for it - but oh! We need it for the show…
Yes! I was just going to essentially same the same thing. He tells the buyer what he wants, and you can see the happiness in their faces at the low ball price they’ll pay. Shouldn’t he be haggling to get the most he can? Very unfortunate for these homeowners.
it would be fun to team up with people like Suitcase Trains, sewing groups, and other special interest businesses and see lots of items go to where they'll be treasured.
Why do they go to Scottish dealers and markets? They don't make very much money for the people selling their kit, they would make more selling the stuff for themselves online
And it you looked through stuff they had, there were much more valuable items in the lot. Then they go to a low level junk store to try to sell it? Who produces this garbage?
Both her rooms are now practical and useable, if not totally cleared of stuff. But as a costume designer you will need a lot of material and other bits and bobs in your studio and storage. She still got rid of a huge lot and organized the rest so that she can find it and get to it when she needs it. That is a win in my book.
That guy, Mr. Curtis is a charlatan. She had 200 Ladybird books which he said would go for $50-60 each. Then he offers her $1,000 for the lot of them. It should have been at least $5,000 which is half of their value so includes a profit for him. He can get $10,000 for them. So what a way to rip her off.
As a claustrophobe, I couldn't even watch the entire episode, but had to skip through various parts. I just cannot fathom having so much junk that there's no real home.
OMG indeed, always those low returns. The so called specialist Curtis . . . when did he ever get a great price? Lazily going to a middle man instead of the end costumer. 😨
This show is such a waste of time. They don’t even help the hoarders and waste screen time seeing if a piece of junk can be sold for $25? The two “Experts” especially the woman, is nothing more than your average junk shop proprietor. Who is the editor here? Get a story line, get some hosts with credentials, like the US version has and stop wasting everyone’s time. This poor woman who got $300. Big wow. And the other straightened her backyard shack. This passes of interesting in the UK?
The slow movement of this show gives me anxiety😅. Get on with it , and stop all the talking! I just want to dive in .😂So the “ organizer “ does nothing for the clients except talk?🙁
Equivalent to a yard/rummage sale, but usually people gather on a specific spot (parking lot for instance) and sell their stuff from their car, hence the name "car boot sale"

That's what I keep thinking. Now we need to be really worried if they start talking about honey buckets. 🤣
@@aniE1869 eek! 😆
At least this stuff is usable
Some hoarders have garbage and rotten food everywhere
These hoarders are so much saner than the ones on Hoarders
Took me an entire class of reading comprehension to comprehend that sentence 😂🤣
@@marialiyubman lol I kinda forgot there aren't italics so I hoped people would understand the capitalization

The declutterers on this channel are so much more loving than the one's on "Hoarders".

Love the cleared spaces! I struggle with clutter myself so these stories give me a lot of incentive.

There’s no use having it if you can’t find it. Donate.

Hilarious that they call the sheds outhouses. Those are outside bathrooms with no plumbing in Canada. Lol
Same here in the states! Outhouse = privy. I chuckled every time they said it
Curtis probably earns 10 times more for being on the show than the money they raise.
At least it's not dirty and yucky, just stuffed and probably dusty. Even the dogs don't look bad.
Yeah I was surprised at how organized it was. Better than my room xD
In a word donate! Perhaps there’s a school or community theatre that could make good use of such treasures!
YES! Local houses of worship, donation bins, etc. Lots of organizations will even pick up from your home for free. The Lupus Foundation lets you schedule pick up online. You just leave the stuff on your front porch or in the lobby of your apartment building.
Her dead husband looks like he was a really nice guy! My husband is one of those too! Love of my life! 25 years married! :)
Minimalism changed my life!
The hoarding always seems to be the result of past trauma(s).

American hoarders are really mean sometimes. They have driven their own children away.

Lillian and Lisa seems like such a sweethearts I am glad they are doing well in their new space and life also Lisa's grandbaby is OMG CUTE! Glad everything is working out for the two
Holy Wow!!! I enjoyed both of the journeys!!! Thanks for helping these households!!! Know you have made a positive difference in their lives!
When she goes “buttons, feathers…” I thought she was naming the cats 🤣
Lisa’s kids are amazing!
Lisa is so sweet...what a gal
I love the 2 women hoarders in this episode.
My mom was a hoarder, I am a minimalist every item I own I have to clean so I own very little, I would rather spend my time studying.
🍀❤️
I think I have a hoarder gene in me too. I wish I could become a minimalist. Trying. But I don't like cleaning.
@@reginagrobosz8807 you not like cleaning should motivate you to get rid of everything, the less you have the less you have to clean, good luck, take life one day at a time.
@@reginagrobosz8807 if you hate cleaning then minimalism is the way to go!
Not much to clean if you keep your things in a closet.
If they brought in a better staff, like the competition (?) who has Dr. Stelios Kiosses and Zoe and I forgot the other woman’s name.. so sorry..
they’re clearly more patient, more experienced and much more compassionate. And Dr. Kiosses makes me feel that he actually managed to move the needle and the hoarders are equipped with the tools to help themselves.

There are always online groups that you can sell by the quarter yard and make some money back!
First word googled not even 4 minutes in. Haberdashery 😂😂😂.
I learned math beginning on an abacus. I haven’t seen one of those in ages!!!
Lillian's husband took a piece of her heart with him when he passed away 😢
The prices that they get for goods always seem to be tooooooo low.
Theyre like the two witches in Practical Magic
Lisa: traveled the world and has an amazing collection of stuff
Curtis: so 5£ for the lot?
Curtis is not an expert you can tell by the way he talks. I don't know how he landed on this show? Maybe it was a crash landing or maybe he won a bet.
I think Curtis is rubbish at this and had some how faked his way into this series. 🤔
Me too!
Yes! I was just going to essentially same the same thing. He tells the buyer what he wants, and you can see the happiness in their faces at the low ball price they’ll pay. Shouldn’t he be haggling to get the most he can? Very unfortunate for these homeowners.

When they move stuff from one place to another, it’s called “churning.”
There's still TOO much to keep clean.
@6:00 £70- 80 Pounds .. ..haha i thought he would say like £700-800 🤣🤣🤣
I would be quite worried if my outhouse was overflowing!💩
They still have much clutter after clearance! Hahaha
Yes this show is a waste of 46 minutes.
The costume designers shed has stuff on the floor and half of it behind a curtain... come on.
Both her rooms are now practical and useable, if not totally cleared of stuff. But as a costume designer you will need a lot of material and other bits and bobs in your studio and storage. She still got rid of a huge lot and organized the rest so that she can find it and get to it when she needs it. That is a win in my book.
More like she's going to be able to take her daughter to a Japanese restaurant with all money Curtis got for her. 🤯😅
Love the chesterfield in the summer house.
And again, the inexperienced homeowner made more than the “experts”. 🤷♀️
I like other therapist show 🥺🥺get him back

I don't know about the value of the books themselves, but I do know many of these "experts" rip people off.
So-called "expert" Curtis seems to have a lot of friends who buy stuff at low prices.
What a lovely lady
Awesome work
As a claustrophobe, I couldn't even watch the entire episode, but had to skip through various parts. I just cannot fathom having so much junk that there's no real home.
335 is not getting her to Japan!
OMG indeed, always those low returns. The so called specialist Curtis . . . when did he ever get a great price? Lazily going to a middle man instead of the end costumer. 😨
Great program however too many ads for a TH-cam video
But they all still need after care
Blessings always ❤️💯🙏🙏❤️
awww she had a very handsome husband, lovely lady
13:58 behind the abacus, does anyone know what painting this is? It looks extremely intriguing.
3:00 that’s actually pretty cool it gives me Harry Potter vibes
It's from the movie Hocus pocus
@@Gryffindame ohhh thanks, I haven’t seen that movie since I was little but the book is so cool
By the time all the ads and openers and intros are done I don't feel like watching anymore.
"Well, it looks..... you!" LOL!
I like these kind of series. I’d love this one if Curtis wasn’t in it. Every time a disappointment.😨
The clutter woman doesn’t do anything!
You could be my twin...fabricaholic, I mean!
Why do so many crafters end up hoarders? Or do hoarders just buy craft stuff. It’s the whole chicken and egg conundrum.
happy Christmas
Happy Easter!
There are way too many ads
i go thru stuff but seem to part with very little.
Shed plus fabric=mice and rats!
Better but still gives me anxiety.
I would fill two dumpsters with the leftovers...
I know, right. There’s loads more that needs to go!
They really don’t do much. A whole lot of nothing really.
Si c est c est pour continuer à mettre des attrappe-rêves partout çà sert à rien.
Start a ladies quilting group to get some of it used up for quilts.
This show is such a waste of time. They don’t even help the hoarders and waste screen time seeing if a piece of junk can be sold for $25?

What’s a car boot sale?

That is very cool! I wish we did it that way! I don’t want to have garage sales at my home. You guys do flash mob style vendoring!
First like and first coment
As a costume designer myself, the title is physically and mentally attacking me.
when scabs visit %'-D. oo. don't that tha itchy guy very much one in the matrix not a million ;-p/
