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 wasn't keen on Hinch but she did do a good job on the shower head.

I missed Dilly too, I like her sensible, no nonsense approach while all the others are lovely but a bit wet sometimes.

So they sell any of the stuff

There was another programme where they used to do a car boot

Hope they weren't chucking out cleaning stuff. Things get used up eventually

Don't know when it's back

Ahhh I hope Dilly is ok.

I didn't like the SS and Mrs Hinch dynamic, it felt slightly judgy for the first time and the beauty of the programme is it's just helpful ,comments about stinky slippers and cowpats etc. I was also distracted by Botox and eyebrows.

Mrs H didn’t have the right warm energy.

I know them and without saying too much the NZ move wasn't on the cards at the time of filming and came about due to circumstances beyond their and the farm owners control. No falling out as far as I am aware, just one of those things that happens with businesses sometimes.

Agree, the multiple coats, and mugs, are definitely needed on a farm!

I was quite shocked by how different Mrs Hinch looked on the programme compared to Instagram, I follow her and like her stuff but didn't recognise her on the programme at first!

Yeah makes you realised how mega filtered she is on insta.

Stupid question- is it the same warehouse every week or do they rent one local to the family?

I'd love a big old warehouse and see everything I've ever bought all laid out !

I would imagine it's a different warehouse each week, close to where the family lives.

I wonder how long it really takes the whole team as it might be a week we see but I want to know how long it takes to sort out the warehouse, where do the family stay etc?

What I find odd is that they say all the work has been done by the end of Day 6, as on Day 7 the family return to their house! That's not sort your life out in 7 days is it 🙄

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor agreed, I would love to know more about the real process. I always wonder how long it takes to make the houses look really terrible at the beginning 😀

Seconding the request for the actual timeline, the clips of Stacy painting the pencil holder then putting the pencils straight in didn’t seem right to me, it would be an absolute mess if you did that with the paint still wet.

Im also curious about the initial state of the places, some have seemed like they’d be impossible to live in as shown, yet the people always look nicely turned out.

I think in this series they have been a bit more honest about there being a whole massive team of people in the warehouse - they show a timelapse thing of them laying things out rather than just kidding on that Stacey does it all herself.

@SBAM

I actually thought the pencil thing could cause an eye injury if someone ran into it

You can be nicely turned out but live in chaos, it just takes a lot more effort, then sorting the chaos becomes insurmountable as you are expending all your energy and time doing the essentials in a really inefficient manner and losing stuff all over the place. None of the houses featured so far have seemed extremely neglected (eg decaying food everywhere, overflowing bins etc) just very high levels of clutter and the jobs that need doing less often such as descaling the shower head never happening because of the lack of time. Also all the families have been loving, caring, generally responsible people. I suspect many of them will have had colleagues who have been shocked to the core to see them on this show.

I find it such an interesting programme. I have relatives who show love by buying me and DC stuff, so with that plus presents from DC birthday parties and comic bits etc it's got to the point where we have to get rid of stuff quite regularly. Clearly the better approach would be to buy less / bring less into the home to start with, but it's tricky.

This week's episode really resonated with me because DH and I both work full time, and we get so little free time as it is that we don't often feel in the right zone for decluttering and organising. We have a cleaner who is great and means the house is clean, but she'll tend to move clutter around and then we lose stuff and sometimes even end up buying it again. I'm not blaming her - it's our fault for not being tidy enough to begin with!

I wasn't keen on Mrs Hinch, she seemed a right judgy-pants.

I hope Dilly is fully recovered and thriving. She's such lovely, no-nonsense woman. That article about her and her mum (even if it was on the Daily Mail site) showed what a remarkable and caring person she is.

I had the same reaction - "he accidentally added me on Facebook" - yuck!

It looks like the news is good - I just read an article saying that the farm episode was filmed last December, and that Dilly's treatment (for a stage 1 cancer) has been successful.

Oh that is good news.
i hope she recovers well.

Lovely family tonight, won't comment specifically to give folks a chance to watch first 😊
