Madge and Adam were both lovely people. They seem lonely though, and it was lovely how buoyed-up Madge seemed by having Joanna around. I really hope they stayed in touch!
Sadly enough that is what a lot of people do to hoarders. When they realize they will take in everything and never say "no", they will misuse them as a dumping ground. I saw this with an ex-friend of mine. People would come to her and "gift" her with absolute trash.
@@SoramimiKeikimy aunt was like that she was always prepping for the next depression but people would drop off broken mirrors and broken furniture and other trash things. I tried to help her declutter and I ended up cutting my thigh on a broken mirror she had just piled in it all. I got almost 20 stitches and she kept the mirror blood and all.
Amazing..!! Makes me think I should have tried selling my clutter... Instead it either went in a skip or mostly donated to charity shops... A lot of good stuff too... Oh well... Now I do my best to keep on top of things.

Hello from rainy Manila, I finally found your channel today 😆 Ive been binge watching your videos before I go declutter/tidy up/ trash stuff from my bedroom and work place. So far I have thrown out 3 LARGE TRASHBAGS of clothing, bed sheets, pillow covers, bags, and shoes in thw last 5-6 years I guess... And it has made me love our place(Im currently living with my parents and am sharing with them the cost of utilities and grocery items) Thanks for making this public.
Laughed at "who doesnt sit down with a straw hat and hedgetrimmer". Our little computer room is a dumping ground. My son said he will come and clear it (things will be flying) but I will let him soon. My husband keeps tools and rifles in the bedroom (air rifles which are heavy) and it's like a pharmacy. Going to purge it soon. Found $4500 in spare change in the bedroom he had been saving recently so took it to the bank. It was great and wiped our debt. He would have just left it there. Kind of funny. He couldn't have cared about all the coins.
Madge has come along way she should be delighted. I personally think she could give away more clothes if her bedroom does not have a closet. She is a beautiful spirited lady.
My son came by one day as I was watching a hoarders show, and he asked if I recognized myself in these. I said, "Absolutely. But I have adopted a mantra to hold me in line. That is: People are more important than things." That is only part of my solution, but it does put in perspective the importance of priorities. I will always live in a silent dread of how poor I was growing up and my early years of being on my own where I owned nothing, so I will always want pretty and useful stuff around me. Bare walls fill me with a sick feeling of emptiness, so I have pictures hanging on every wall, even bathroom and hall. I also am a bit of a clean freak and ADDH person. Everything has to be clean and properly arranged. I cannot stand to see any garbage, even a clean peace of paper out of place. I have pretty trash baskets in every room, so nothing is ever allowed to be on the floor with the excuse "It will be fine there until I get ready to clean." I believe in "A place for everything and everything is its place." I really do know where 90 to 95 percent of all my household miscellaneous and all my tools are (carpentry and repair such as plumbing or electrical.) When I have a hired hand or family member ask if I have a certain tool or item when they are here working, I can have it in their hands in 15 seconds. Perhaps that is why my sons do not hassle me about getting rid of some of my hoard. Do I have too much stuff? No doubt about it, but this is me and this is how I live.
Hello Ruth! I think, when we lived in the same neighbourhood we became friends. I think we have the same kind of live. Anddd...you have subscribed to the channel of Glenn..🤗 I'm from the Netherlands. I grew up with the slogan. If you keep something you own something. I've had such bad times that even buying a plastic bucket for a plant was too expensive. So it is hard to trow them away.
Well there's no dog poop, human feces, dead animals and rat poop and piss. Mold and fungus and there's no bio hazard, it's not a hoard it's just unorganized clutter. The above situation that I mentioned well surprise surprise pretty common theme in American hoard. This was pleasant to watch actually. American hoarder makes me scratch off my skin and bathe in bleach. People piss in bottles and poop in buckets and throw out in yard. This is actually considered clean as per their standard. Pretty darn clean
That was exactly what I was thinking watching this. The American version is disgusting. Most come across as incompetent and should be placed somewhere. I mean who I. Their right mind lives like that. Especially the ones with children. It’s beyond disgusting. I’m not surprised it’s only in America. They are completely unstable and they say iver 90 % return to their filthy ways. Not a surprise either, the way they tiptoe around them and coddle them. It’s absurd. .
As a hoarder myself i have to watch this kind of stuff once in a while to be living in a acceptable home. But I can't think of me living in a empty house. The idea of not having stuff to be creative makes me sad. But 4 sewing machines while never sewing is maybe too much.🤔🤓 I've a lot of showergels wich i don't use for 25 years. World war 2 in which my parents grew up is still in my mind, my body and my behaviour. The scaring story's of having nothing i do remember everyday. Always living in the past and prepared fot the future but not in the present. Its time for the showergel tomorow.
Just as long you know you're a hoarder and not a collector it's ok There is a saying "I clear house is a clear mind" I hope you can get the help you need, I really feel for you ♥️
@@the.only.yorkshirepud420 Thanks for your comment. I don't know what the difference is between a hoarder and a collector. I think, i'm actually between it. We, the people are so different. I feel not comfortable in a empty home at all. I've a question; What are people like you doing in their free time when they have no stuff to create?
@@jasslily But...a full house doesn't mean a dirty house.🤷♀️ I've a garden with fruit and vegetables. I need buckets for the let them grow in the living room. I've lot of stuff for the kitchen and most of them are often used for baking and cooking. I've toys...to refurbish them and clean them and sell them...i love it. I love what i do and i love my house. It is not dirty. I've no televison. No computer. sitting on a chair in a house without stuff to do seems horrible to me. Only to get rid of unused, unusable ugly items or items who take to much room, that is enough for me.
@bina nocht Thanks for your comment. I agree with with the sewing machines. The thing is that i had no money to repare them and the machines i get for free. The douchegels, i got them on my birthday but i'm allergic to most of them so i only use the one which i bought by myself. Finally i didn't trew them away but i used them to clean the bathroom and it works fantastic. And...the last iten the sewing machines are not dirty and I never met someone who are looking at a sewingmachine? Whats that? I read a book from mari kundo. She definitly changed the way I live but it is not the holy bible. I think it is important that you live the live that fits with your personality. I love Mari Kundo too but i'm not Mari Kundo. I discovered that trying to be like anonther person make me very sad. Yes, I get many compliments when I clean whole day and give a lot to the charitything making a fortune but it feels like wasting my days and my lives. It is not about me, maybe a little, but i want to be te voice of people who are not happy with sterile empty homes. Thanks to your comment I will look for a good place for the sewingmachines. Have a good day.
2:02 *She said that she wants 1000 pounds and they write bloody 200 pounds. Are they serious? I wouldn't give that away for a cheaper price than something from Ikea!*
The narrator saying to pay a professional to pack up and transport the clock, clearly hasn't realised that would cost more than the clocks even worth at auction 😂
Books are the worst in my house. I tell everyone my husband has enough books. He will not get rid of any & it takes up to much space. Please think of donating (not your favorites) to the library or make your own little library in your yard. Let others enjoy them.
It’s funny how they pay 40£ for box of jewellery,and that’s the “top of their price” then you go to that shop and one piece of jewellery cost 20£🤣🤣…. Or that OLD cabinet for 200…. I would pay her even 300£!! Because I know how much more money the host of the program will get for it. Also watching the series of that program- they don’t do much effort to sale it for better price for those people😵💫 The cheques are very discounted for those people sadly 😞.
But that's because they're selling to traders who need to make a profit. You can't expect retail prices unless you sell it yourself. People seem very unrealistic about this, who do they imagine wants big old cabinets and massive clocks?
Wow unreal that lady just robbed that man of the costume jewelry he should've looked into that some of those pieces are worth alot of $. I wonder how much they charge for their services.
I just found this episode 2 minutes ago and then realized that it's pure torture to watch this show. Not because of how much stuff they have but how they structure the cleanup process. It's like sliding pipe cleaners past your eyeballs while listening to babies cry. ☹️😭 I love British people but I won't watch this show. This show needs a make over!!!! No offense, watching from USA.
Much respect to Adam for asking Curtis to ensure his grandmother's books are sold responsibly
They should just destroy them.
@@htown3728 wow look who's burning books now
@@doranselwyn8608What are you on about? They didn’t say anything about burning them at all. Where did you get that from?
I love the fact that they rehome items instead of throwing them in a dumpster!
Madge and Adam were both lovely people. They seem lonely though, and it was lovely how buoyed-up Madge seemed by having Joanna around. I really hope they stayed in touch!
Joanna is simply the perfect person to help people
What a joyful and happy decluttering journey for these two kind hoarders - loved this episode thank you
Madge you are wonderful ! what a friend to have you would be.
This was a great episode, with lovely happy people!
Poor Adam's home was treated as a dump/storage facility by his family.
Sadly enough that is what a lot of people do to hoarders. When they realize they will take in everything and never say "no", they will misuse them as a dumping ground. I saw this with an ex-friend of mine. People would come to her and "gift" her with absolute trash.

Sometimes it takes far too long to sell it. This way you don't get too far. Unless it's extra special in which case sell but unless it is get rid fast

If you tried to sell it it may still be sitting there
Your sanity is worth more than selling bits of junk. You made the right decision.

I love this channel.
all those stuffed animals would be great dog toys. cut out the eyes, and send them to a dog shelter.
What I wouldn’t do for a 3 bedroom apt or a house and these people have it and destroy it.
Love this show from Texas!

Madge is a hoot, what a lovely lady
I enjoy the humor the commentator provides.
Adam has a lot of valuable stuff and Madge... I looooove her pottery
He should give the stuffed toys to charity
17:15 ahh..the 'cursed' crying boy picture..

7:59 - "the wrong hands"
WOW! I've got a shaved head, can I own one or do I look "wrong"?
I TOTALLY agree with the partner... the brown object is much more original.
Sorry Adam - but I'd have kept Grannie's gamma-phone and got rid of Grannie's painting!
"Mein Kampf" is a pretty interesting christmasgift 😅

I beg your pardon! 😛
In the US it is unethical to appraise an item and then buy it. I feel that very often the seller is underpaid on this show.
Madge downsized from a 15 bedroom house to 3 ..... far out!
8 bedroom not 15
I heard 15 not 8 ..... but if it was 8 that is still way out there and excessive!
The 15 was 15 years ago.
"to be honest" what would the Brits do without that phrase? 🤔
To be honest.. I don't really know 🤣
Adam just needs to accept that no one will ever visit him or use the rooms he emptied.
Wow unreal that lady just robbed that man of the costume jewelry he should've looked into that some of those pieces are worth alot of $. I wonder how much they charge for their services.

This is just one hoarding show from the UK. We have more filthy versions that can challenge the just 😅
I can't recall the names though
Challenge the USA*
I need you guys 🙊😭
You don't you can do it 😀😀
Why do smart, fairly good looking men who are employed stay with hoarders???
I like your video
Good for Mage. Money made and clean up getting there
If she sold all her pottery for even 30 each, seems she'd have a nice bit of pocket money
Mein Kampf was co-authored with Bernhardt Stempfle, a Jesuit priest, who wrote most of Mein Kampf.
What do these people charge for doing this?
Wow Adam did great
Joanna, You are nice.
The person most likely was multi-millionaire to be able to buy all that stuff
Why do these shows keep showing the same footage over and over? And they completely rehash the plot after every break
That Kermit frog stuffed toy i just saw in the intro isworth $700.00 American money right now March 2022

It's because in the US people like the drama, in UK it's possible to be respectful and clean at the same time. ;)
I got to agree. I really love the concept, but the repetition and how the scene going back and forth bore me quite a bit.
hi also watching from the USA I been watching another British shows "OC cleaners" and "how clean is your house" . there's a couple of seasons
So true. American tv is all about the drama.
the narrator / writer is sometimes just... mean.
