Sort Your Life Out on BBC1

[PermanentTemporary]

Absolutely loved it!

My list of big house jobs includes 'declutter' in every room so I was hoping to put off doing it be inspired. Loved Stacey Solomon though would have liked more from Ivan on the cleaning.

I have a friend who makes these as a small business venture. She has made teddies out of all things - old school uniforms for children moving schools, shirts of a deceased relative, uniforms as a retirement gift, baby clothes, curtains...

Does anyone know what happened to the red beaded frame Stacey spent ages on? She said it was for the girls but couldn’t spot it anywhere in the reveal!

@Peach27 There was a sign saying ‘Sister Squad’ in the girls bedroom and they had framed it with the red frame.

I'm surprised his similar this is to the Nick knowles programme , which I prefer, but I hate the constant adverts on ch 5.
I like the designer man with NK and how calm he is in comparison to Stacey! Although I do like her a lot too.
Mind you , I watch a lot of these type of things and I guess sorting out and throwing out your things can't really have many differences to make the programmes any different. I often wonder where they find these big warehouses to put it all or how much that costs to hire out.
Aggie and Kim did have more of a go at the people on the programme. They were great at the tough love.
I like seeing the transformations

Nobody talks about the budget either - repainting the kitchen cupboards, all Rob's MDF/plyboard, storage jars and drawer dividers... etc ...

Nick knowles always gets around 50 k or so added to the houses with their rearrange / decorating etc
Budgets are rarely mentioned on Stacey's programmes. It must cost a fair bit as they do a lot of building work plus the cost of the warehouse / skips

This. I was inspired to check out a label machine after dilly said 'from around £15' but the one she uses is a lot more expensive. Plus all those storage tubs in the cupboards are not exactly cheap as you need loads of them.

FWIW I use strawberry punnets for storing my sachets in.

The BBC show seems much more focused on reusing what the people have - painting a kitchen rather than putting a new one in, refurbishing chairs, moving wardrobes between rooms. Less of that on the C5 show - I don't really get the "we;ve increased your house's value by X" bit as it's not a home selling show and if you're not intending to move, the value of your house isn't really relevant.

@mogtheexcellent do you by any chance have a link to the label maker she uses if you found it?

Who’s watching?
6 people in a 3 bed house

It's grim

Yeah. I agree.

Really sad circumstances though.

Must’ve been so overwhelming as well as grieving

They just packed a tic tac box!

Awww, this poor family today, such a situation for them

How anyone was functioning in basic terms is mystifying though

I know :(

Did the mum die during the pandemic?

Sounded that way, yeah, I think, if I recall that the South Asian community was disproportionately affected

Yes I remember watching the initial news of Covid deaths and they were all black or south Asian. And thinking is there a link- there must be.

So we've identified the problem!

Why on earth did 3 more people move into that (already crowded) house ?
The teenage girl would already have been sharing with her brother which isn't ideal.

She said it was to keep the younger 2 in their schools so presumably they were relatively close but too far for the school commute

I need an eat next’ box

My whole fridge is an eat next box 🤣

It still looks quite crowded 😬

😂I might have the same problem
