Sort your life out 2

Thank you. They are all lovely kids.

What a lovely family. The kids were just brilliant. That was a great makeover.

The kids are so lovely

Loved this family, so nice 😊 and the house looked brilliant at the end.

Did they show the mum and dad's bedroom? Don't remember seeing it 🤔

I dont think they did?

So often with the families in this programme, the children have been desperate to sort out the house, (but not known how to do it). Or one unhappy child has a clean and tidy bedroom that they’ve done themself.

But then in the warehouse the parents are resistant to throwing anything away.

Makes me wonder if the houses just slowly slide back to chaos over the next couple of years.

Aww what a lovely episode. That eldest lad was so sweet.

I'm glad the mum let a lot go. I didn't think she was going to.

That elder lad, Timeon was an absolute superstar! Cooking for the family to pay back his big gaming computer and honestly being excited about it. He was only 13 or 14!

Adult DS looked across at me and said "this is what you could have won..." 😂

I didn't understand what was behind the Mum's going on and on about guilt. Other than the shambles of her home, what did she have to feel guilty about? And she didn't seem to feel guilty about the stuff.

A lovely family and a lovely outcome.

I like Stacey a lot anyway but I love her even more when I saw she could sign a little. Signing pleased to meet you, house, excited. Great to see.

Agree eldest lad was a sweetheart. Excited to cook in that clear kitchen.

I think the guilt was from not having a tidy home and therefore space and time with the kids. It’s hard to do crafts and games when there is so much clutter and no space.

The house has three bedrooms and we were shown all three so I am assuming the parents slept somewhere else?

The eldest son slept downstairs in the converted garage, I think they just didn’t show the parents room

What a sweet family - the oldest son was a real gem.

I enjoyed this episode - it's the last of the series, isn't it?

I thought the children were lovely - especially the eldest lad, Timeon.

Those kids were lovely. I thought they said it was a 4 bedroom house - unless they counted the converted garage that the older lad had as a bedroom.

I've never quite got the "crafting" thing. Maybe because I'm the most useless person at that sort of thing. My daughter went through a stage of buying lots of crafting stuff, never used it and it has gone to the charity shop.

Was the mum's guilt because her children were living in all that clutter and they didn't have space to all sit down together and talk and do stuff?

I think they must have been counting the converted garage as the fourth bedroom, @RaraRachael.

Lovely family , but I also don’t do crafting and I don’t understand why people need so much of it all. I have a friend who just buys things ‘ to do later ‘ and it just sits there not being done. I admire a home made effort , but I wouldn’t like the mess my self !
The children were lovely , it was a good episode though.

Well, @the80sweregreat, as a crafter myself, I have found that buying craft supplies and actually doing the crafts are two entirely separate hobbies!

I see things, and get inspired, so I buy the supplies, but then don't get round to starting the projects. One day, though...... 😂

Didn't last night's mum have an item she'd started about 15 years ago and never completed?

It reminded me of my dad buying a rug making kit (very popular in the 70s). He never completed it and it had to be thrown out half done when he died in 1995 - an early example of crafting!

Yes - I think it was a knitted or crocheted bag, @RaraRachael.

I’m not dissing the crafters amongst us! I wished I could do some of it , but I have hands like hams and if I tried any of it myself it would be rubbish ! 😆

I have an unfinished ra ra skirt …
I keep thinking I must finish it!

I didn't think you were dissing crafters at all, @the80sweregreat! I know I am much better at buying the craft supplies than actually making the items. I am sitting here, looking at the big bag of fabric that could, if I got the sewing machine out and my lazy arse into gear, become two summer dresses and two skirts. Maybe one day!

@the80sweregreat you and me both!

I am hopeless at any practical activities yet my sister can turn her hand to anything like that.

My kids always had the shittest dressing up costumes. Sadly supermarket ones weren't a thing then.

I have a few craft things and lots for painting. Well not lots compared to that mum. They're in a big box in our spare room. I've got rid of more than I have.
