Sort your life out BBC1

[Ulysees]

New thread in case there isn't one?

Yep.

personally I stock according to the largest family gathering I’m likely to host. A single person might still have a dinner for 6/8, no?

Thanks for that reply, Puttfta
I can relax now, knowing that I don’t have to do a mug ++ cull !!

Yes the beds were very narrow in boys' room

Oh what a lovely family!

I love how not-cluttered my clutter looks when I compare it to the house in the show.

I think next time I am supposed to have a sort out I’ll be all ”At least I haven’t got 118 spoons!”

Great dog. I felt as bit sorry for the daughter, everything was through the filter of being a big sister to triplet brothers with additional needs. She didn’t seem to get much time to be her.

This is what DD took to uni! 3 of each. Dilly would be proud.

I need to be on the show, or have a couple of good, non judgey mates who will come and help me declutter all my crap. The show is good for inspiration, but I do get overwhelmed: Would love to put all my stuff in a warehouse and sort it.

I really liked the family. I felt there was less focus on the actual decluttering this time. As always I was annoyed with the continuity in the warehouse.

I remember there was another family they had to tread really lightly with and not a huge amount of decluttering was done. I think they do a good job of really pushing the ones who need it and being more gentle with the ones who wouldn't cope with too much.

I presume by putting no at the end of your statement you're inviting us to disagree!

Happy to debate 😉

Yeah- I would say you have to cater for the largest gathering you have but at then same time I refuse to have things in my house which would be convenient for, say, Christmas, if that makes it inconvenient for me the rest of the time. So, for example, I ideally need a 12 seater dining table for Christmas week but it would be too big the rest of the time so I have an 8 seater and use MIL's fold up on the end for the few days I need it.

If I lived alone I'd probably have an 8 place dining set and cutlery. I wouldn't cut it down as far as 3 mugs. That seems excessive for anyone unless you literally never have anyone over. Uni would be different as everyone sharing the kitchen would have their own.

Oh my goodness, I’ve just realised I actually DO have that much cutlery!!! Hubris!

I am one of three who sort out a community party every summer. We swapped from disposable to reusable plates and cutlery in 2018, and they are one of my tasks.

I have a party crate in the shed with 80 each of spoons and forks, 40 knives. Also 50 cheap thin plastic plates and 80 plastic tumblers.

In fairness to Dilly I don’t think she meant it for individuals.

In a family of 3, 9 of everything is lots; in a family of 6, 18 is loads.

Enjoyed the first episode!

Very sad that they endured several losses

I need a Rob in my life to build whatever my heart desires.

I think this family got rid of a fair amount but actually maybe they didn’t which is why they didn’t focus on the piles.

I thought that too. And won't the landlord have something to say?

Did anyone else think it was a bit inappropriate of Stacey to be asking a 14 year old if she had a boyfriend? Just me?

I think it was probably to do with a previous conversation they’d had, I thought it was ok. She did get a bit overlooked.

This is programme is brilliant.
I was just thinking I hope the Landlord doesn't doubles the rent now it's so improved!

I agree!

It looked like it was a council house, so maybe they're there long term?

Lovely family and they did a great job.

Poor Dilly is looking very fragile, she's been very ill 😢

They would have said ring the council to check though not landlord surely?

Dilly goes to check with the landlord before they bust up that doorway.

I LOVE DILLY.

Stacey's teeth though.... just oh god pass my shades but I do love her

@wildfellhall dh said Stacey looks like she's been to Turkey. I think they're her own aren't they?
