I don´t understand why everyone is criticizing the mum who moved to Florida: The daughter had ONE YEAR to sort it, sell anything she didn´t want and keep the profit ,plus got a washing machine etc .
Mother pays the storage unit for a full year, so her daughter can take whatever she needs and wants,such as washing machine etc. They take what they want and ignore the rest. Get free holidays twice a year and still complain. Really!
@@judylloyd7901 the daughter is lazy and the BF is an AH. Simple Mom payed for 12 month. Daughter took what she wanted and ignored the rest for 2 years or so. They get a free trip to America ones a year with everything payed.
My Mother is a hoarder (on a smaller scale than Susan thank goodness) she asked my sister and I to 'tidy up' the garage where all her stuff is. We had similar piles and all was going well for about half an hour and then it was 'I have to keep that', 'Did you throw that in the charity pile?' etc, etc. It ended in tears and we had to stop. Hoarding is a mental illness and it can't be cured in a few hours or days. When Mum dies it will mostly go to the charity shop, what is sellable I'll sell. I look at my collection and know darn well that the kids won't want it so it will go long before I die and I'll spend the proceeds :)
Lynda Painter Make sure you go through it well. My Mama was hired to help clean out an apartment of a man who died. His niece was his only family. They found several hundred thousand dollars hidden in mattresses, couches, clothes pockets, books. They found pickle jars full of pure silver coins. It was crazy.
@@amandakelley1665 A friend of mine asked me to help him clear out his Aunts place, we found packets of money all over the place, stuck under drawers, behind paintings and a plastic bag containing $27,000 in a small rock garden close to the house - we only found that becasue he had to move a few rocks to put the ladder up to fix a broken window. Sheer luck! Some people are very imaginative (or crafty). I can assure you, my Mum only puts money in books - and not a lot of that! She sensibly has it in the bank. We will be checking everything.
@@lmp8932 I had a similar experience with my elderly parents and, in addition to the shouting and tears, I made the mistake of telling them that I would simply throw EVERYTHING out EVENTUALLY anyway. I really regret losing my temper (something I already inherited from them) and hurting their feelings.
@@amandakelley1665 When my parents died we took what we wanted [ they had nothing of value sadly] and a clearance company took the rest - 7 tons. They found a real skeleton but no cash! It was my father's medical skeleton from the 1940s.
My mother is the same. They want to sell their house and downsize and everything I visit they have made no progress on the hoard. I try not to dwell on it and have some hoarding tendencies myself. Programmes like this make me want to declutter my life more and more.
My Daughter moved from Alberta to Quebec Canada- she brought and basically Dumped enough clothes and furniture to fill several stores into my small mobile home. I had to Keep them for years because she Said she was coming for her things- Put tons of Guilt on me, has sullied My name because after five years, having to build a Huge shed to contain her things , I finally started giving it all to Charity. It is So irresponsible for people to Burden others, family or not , with their so called Valuable stuff. This caused me stress and anxiety as well as financial hardship. It has caused damage to relationships with Family because she Plays the victim and is clueless as to what her actions caused in My life.
Well in fairness her Mum did pay for the storage for twelve months. A pretty decent timeline to get the stuff sorted out! It wasn't the Mum's fault that the daughter decided to keep up the storage for another two years and pay thousands instead of putting that money into their new home! The whole Show is made sound like it's all the Mum's fault. But the daughter has a big part to play in it too! The Mum was pretty reasonable and fair to pay for the storage for a year!
The mum would have been more thoughtful to have got rid of the stuff herself, even if she had to pay professionals to do it. She probably would have known already which items her daughter would want, so could have passed those on to her first. I wouldn't do that to my children.
There ARE things that should be held on to and passed on. Because they ARE family property. BUT...comes a time when you have to look at all the STUFF, and ask your relatives and the younger generation " Do you want any of this stuff?" Surprisingly, a lot of the youngsters will scream NNNOOOO!!!!! Ask first, but then feel free to sell it. If there are things you love and want to keep, leave instructions for what you want done with those favorite pieces. My roommie was lumbered with the "family" oak dining room table and chair set. Very nice, been in the family for a few generations. It was meant for a large house, and we are in a small apartment. She has offered the set to her niece and nephew who have more space, but they have firmly refused. She is realizing that the set will have to go, and that she will have to sell it for a pittance of it's true worth. No one wants those big oak sets anymore, no matter how nice they are. Everyone is down sizing.
Sandra Nelson it is true. And many don’t want fancy china, crystal and silver that we inherited and cherished. So, let it go, if no family members want it. I have released many of my possessions like that, and my nieces and nephews want very little of it.
I'm the opposite. I got quite a bit of stuff from my parents' house. They bring back memories, like the babyshoes I used to wear are precious to me because my mom has always kept them. There are other items too, I really still have to go through stuff, but I know my mom is really happy I saved two of her dolls, of which one was her own, feom being thrown away. When she judt got into the care facility she asked me a few times about them and I told her I had them at ny hoise and she was very happy. I won't toss those away, especially not the one she used ro own. The other is a cute little doll I used to have, they were always in a chair together in my parents' room. A silly rubber duck I once bought as an inside joke for my mom was always on top of the bed. It's now on top of my bed. Becsuse though it was a joke, she has kept it for all those years and I can't ger rid of it.
agree completely. Family should be asked if they want those "heirlooms" and if they do they have to come and get it!! I am the family historian of the group but even I have downsized a lot.
She is quite what we call posh in the UK. My family were coal miners so nothing much to pass on at all which is fine - makes life easier. I do have two silver items from my grandparents worth under £100 and I will pass those one but that does not take up much space.
Susan obviously had a good bit of junk, but I feel like they were a bit unfair toward her. If most of her house was emptied into storage due to the renovation then it makes sense that she would keep the things necessary to refurnish those rooms.
Yes, I thought so too. Her whole large house is empty and being done up so when it is done she needs all her furniture back - presumably 2 down stairs rooms and 3 or 4 bed rooms work of stuff.
What’s the point in name calling? If the mother had passed away the daughter would still have the stuff to deal with. The daughter, like many of us is guilty of procrastination and has hung onto everything longer than she needed to.
@@TheDriftdog But her mum isn't dead, is she? Why is it the daughter's responsibility to sort out all that junk that wasn't even hers to begin with? The mother should have done it before she ran off to the States. Part of the reason why the daughter hung on to those things may be the mum hasn't made it clear whether she still wanted them? An irresponsible parent doesn't get a free pass just because she's a parent.
@ravencrone56 Treasures? Her mum took anything that meant something to her to Florida. The daughter has established a home of her own and doesn't need the furniture or kitchen items. The fact that the mother payed for storage for a year suggests that she had good intentions. She may have thought that within a year's time the daughter would have been able to go through the items to see if there was anything she would like to keep. I suspect she didn't realize that what she was actually leaving was a burden.
RAH Bruhn my great grandmother was a hoarder it took us months to go through her house. My mom and grandma are still sending me stuff they pulled out of her house almost 20 years ago. I can tell by the smell. I won’t do that to my kids.
RAH Bruhn I agree. I turned 50 this year, and my mid-life "crisis" seems to be actually a regrowth period, and part of that is purging my house of things I just don't use anymore. I can pass them on to younger friends or charity, but I think it is unfair to leave a mass of junk for others to deal with one day. I've never been a hoarder, but it is amazing how much stuff people accumulate over the course of living, things you use once in a while, then forget about. I try not to bring new things in unless old things go out.
I live in US, in Hud subsidized housing. The apartments I'm in was built about 40 yrs ago, so we have more space than the newer units that are being built. I've had some neighbors who were hoarders. When they moved to nursing homes or passed away their family members had to get rid of everything. in some cases they were able to sell some furnishings, donate stuff to charity or just toss it. One family after months of dealing with stuff in addition to their demanding lives, finally left some stuff and the company that owns the company got rid of the junk ( cost taken out of the security deposit.) My mom had downsized and sold or gave things away. I'm following her example. I've been going through stuff and I have thrown away 2 bags of scrap fabric and other crafty items, donated 2 bags. Got rid of old paperwork 4 bags. Sometimes I see decorative items I would like to buy and then realized I don't have a place to display it, I refuse to buy any more furniture or shelves.
I would so love to be more minimalistic but my husband is a Tech-nerd who even keeps the boxes of stuff he bought "just in case" .. it drives me crazy, every bit of storage we got is drowning in computer parts, laptops, cables, chargers, general tech stuff. When we went to the junk yard to throw away some stuff (not even tech things, just stuff I personally haven`t used in a while and wanted to get rid of) he manage to sneak back computer parts he found there on the tech pile cause "it could still be working" 😩
@Carmen Hanrahan Good to know I`m not allone! 😂 And I admit it can come in handy sometimes, for example he can repair pretty much everything.. but I will still dream about a nice and minimalistic place 😅
I've never been so happy as I have been, since decluttering, and downsizing. I have pictures and memories. Keepsakes are lovely... a few, but not so much stuff that I would need to put them in storage and have to pay rent, just to store them. Many things I just donated when I made this last move. Still downsizing. I have become a non shopper. I'm not going to buy anything except to get rid of something. I like when the young gentleman said he wanted to start fresh with his new wife and make their own memories.
Yes, you need less stuff in most cases and then you can actually see what you have and use it. I keep doing this - all my life and even now as the children leave home but then 3 have come back to live after university with even more stuff. I am down to 2 student children now but still have possessions of 2 others to an extent. I will get there in the end......
Britains knife laws are very strict, too strict i think. You can even get arrested for carrying around a kitchen knife or having it in your car unless it is in a unopened package and or you have a receipt and can prove that you just purschased it. If not you can be charged with possession of a prohibited weapon. You cannot even carry a pocket knife in the UK unless it is a swiss army knife. Of course there are some exceptions like going camping, needing it for work etc but you have to be able to prove these things.
Any innocent tool, knife or otherwise can become an offensive weapon, it depends totally on the situation it is found. An extreme example would be, a farmer walking through the village carrying a scythe to access his field would be totally acceptable, on the other hand, if the same farmer turned up drunk outside a Nightclub carrying the scythe, it would be considered an offensive weapon. It all comes down to the use of the implement. As for the comment about knives in the UK, there is a separate law on blade length permitted in a public place.
@Phil Sale , in the farming community, I'm sure you're probably right. Somehow I don't think anyone could get away with walking down the main streets with it though. 😉
@@ExpatPhil You just reminded me of the scene in The Godfather III where the assassin stabs the guy in the neck with the leg of a pair of glasses. Anything can be a weapon, it's all about intention. The sgian dubh is an interesting case.
She has wasted five grand on junk! Those storage buildings are everywhere now making a killing as so many people living in new tiny high rise flats now.
My daughter paid for one as hey lived in a flat and I stored a whole garage and loft of her stuff here too but we are getting through it. I have never paid for a storage but I suppose the diference is I had an hour 's commute to the city so could live in a house not a flat. Horses for courses.
Yes. I bought a 200 year old furniture unit for all the children's videos, cputer consoles etc for £2000 15 years ago. Even tghen people were buying fewer and fewer of those old antiques because things are so cheap from Ikea. I still like the idea that item is 200 years old actually . have a minimalist style in the house - my bed room has less on show in it than the average hotel room even. I love it that way after years of 5 small children's toys....
Yes but you are not her. Respect her choice also a material item is all that is. The issue with our society is to give material stuff an emotional value.
I use to keep everything and my granddaughter came live with me and I learned if you don’t use it there just taking up space , it was hard but when it was done I’m so happy now easy to keep up and more space
That's ok so long as others including the next generation arnt expected to do the same. Where does it end? Great grandmothers, hat, great grandfathers fork, great aunts tea pot etc etc. Some people would love that, other's would see it as a heavy burden. I hate clutter and nick nacks, i hate other people's clutter more, unless i can use it, and it adds to my life i don't want to have to clean and look after it.
And certainly NOT to a charity shop. She could get some of her storage rent back from selling many of those items. I can't stomach the lady in the red dress' accent, too thick and hard to understand. Must be Scottish?
I agree with you Danielle, I would have kept that clock as well... I don't have anything from my grandparents and I wish I did. The clock wasn't that big and keeping one piece is ok. Plus, you can sometime blend old/and new style together. Personally, I don't care for new furniture and prefer purchasing antiques because I know it will be good quality and will last longer. I am glad that Susan is renovating the bookcase.
I bought several shipping containers to store all my extra items will never run out of place to put my hoarding items and no fees ever for my children to worry about
Georgina's mother paid for the storage unit for one year. Georgina used some of the stuff (dishwasher, dining table etc) but didn't deal with the rest of the things. It's like accepting an inheritance, it's all or nothing. Once you accept something, you are responsible for it all, including any debts attributed to the estate. So, Georgina paid the unit the following 3 years. It is her inaction which caused the costs to rise.
Sorry but if this lady came rummaging through my family heirlooms and life long collectibles while clicking her tongue and rolling her eyes at everything that had emotional value to me and I'd love to keep... Id lose my mind and temper!!!!!!
Then keep paying rent on things that aren’t seen, used, and loved. It’s not like these were being displayed and enjoyed in a home. I loved and appreciated my family heirlooms and things I have collected over many years, but easily let go of most when I moved from a house to an apartment. If my nieces or nephews wanted them, they could take them, but aren’t into antiques and most collectibles.
Fiona Crispin: You sound like my 81yo mother and 87yo father. I don't want ANY of their "precious heirlooms" because they're all JUNK and although I don't have kids, I wouldn't save any of that crap for them anyway.
That stuff, other than a single item, had no emotional value for the young couple, and in the other case it was a pyschological ailment, i.e., hoarding, rather than "emotional value" that kept her from wanting to part with anything...including warped and battered old paperbacks, stained dirty suitcases and a cheap tin kettle.
why would you buy a house with someone who has no legal binding with you ? when you breakup, dissolution of the common property becomes that much more problematic.
I wonder if they made it as a couple? That BF was not to my taste. I would've given him the boot by the end of the show. None of her stuff is really his business. I wonder how long she put up with him.
the show seems to take too long to get to the storage units and then too much recapping of whats already happened when coming back from commercials. a 1 hour show with 15-20 minutes of worthwhile viewing. edit: meh...thats MOST TV nowadays...isnt it? lol
Yes, that is the main thing I learned here and from look at my parents' stuff when they died - just about nothing as a resale value that makes it worth your time bothering to sell it. Best to give it to charity.
Wherever I've lived (always in the USA), any storage unit company has a policy that if payment isn't made on time, they'll lock the unit with another lock, and if no payment is made within 30 days of that action, the unit is opened up and everything in it is confiscated and sold. Must be a lot different in other countries, I guess.
@@dodgingpineapples90 Yes, that's the point. The mother paid for year 1 and daughter chose to leave it there and then chose to pay for 2 more years herself as she was too lazy to sort it out.
@Jane Smith ahh, okay. I misunderstood your original post. I thought you were asking why these people's unit contracts hadn't been voided, and contents auctioned off.
those are some cheap storage locker items to be keeping. If I were to look through mine there would easily be 100-130 collectible items to go in an online auction. Sometimes we will put stuff in an auction and all total make $1.000- 1,400. Low end sales $150- $600. You can reach more buyers through an online auction if the auction house is willing to ship the smaller items.
My philosophy is if you don't like it enough to want to clean it, get rid of it or don't buy it at all. I love art. I love knick knacks, but I don't want to clean it all, don't have time to take care of it all. I will go through everything at least once a year and declutter. I mostly give it away or throw it away, but it leaves my house either way.
Also children have more although they thnk they are much worse off than in the past! When my husband's grandmother died in the 1980s we had just about nothing - could not even afford disposable nappies for the baby so a 40 year old oven was a huge gift to us and an almost broken table. Some people are richer today - young people will not believe me of course but it was so.
My mom passed 30 years ago. I have nothing of hers in my home. I have things that she would have loved to own and those things remind me of her. But nothing she owned made me happy. I would NEVR pay for storage!
Storage units are dangerous money pits if you are not careful. 2 or 3 months ,after that it's time to take a brutal honest look at what you are paying.
It is a bit unfair on the mother who moved to the USA - she paid for the stroage for a whole year but her daughter was too lazy to sort it in that year or sooner - sh could have easily done so and she did use some of the items. the mother had already sorted out what what she wanted and only left what she thought the daughter might like. Most of us have to sort out all our parents' things when they die anyway.
I am a minimalist and never was so happy. My ant is always trying to give me stuff but I don’t want it I say no thank you. I love to live with less. I donate what I don’t want to people that really need it. Some people can’t afford to buy household items. I used to sell it for very affordable prices to at a fair, sometimes give it way. I did this with books. People were so happy and made me happy to. Have given tones of books to libraries to. I keep some little items from my family and those are center pieces in my home.
rusty old garden tools sell quickly on Facebookmarket place, car boot sales, yardsales and items with a little more value on eBay. Even at £1 a piece many items can find a new home. Then you can freecycle. People come to collect your old clutter saving you a trip to the recycle centre and it gets good use. Everything does take time and effort and may not pay in terms of hourly wages for the effort.
When I took a hired van of stuff to our local ameity rubbish tip the workers liked (1) the bicycles as did some other people there at the time - they were almost fighting over them (!) 2. garden and work toosl which i suppose workmen at rubbish tips might find useful. There was no interest in a white leather not very old sofa and chairs my father had had and none of my children could fit in their smaller flats which seemed a terribile wasgte but after 10 years of storage it just had to go. No interest in old fridges and dishwashes. My daughter knows what designer clothes she can sell on Ebay prettty well. Selling books is very hard and even charity shops sadly have to pulp a lot of them unless rare editions.
I disagree. Some antiques are worth a lot of money. I personally think that the new furniture is not well built and most of it is made with particle board. Ikea only lasts so long.... This is all I could afford when I was young but I learned over the years that it is made to break... . We had a day bed and an armoire that fell apart after a year. Most of the furniture that I now own is antique and made of real wood that will probably last for years. I also think that you can renovate an antique and change it to your style.
@@ibaber I agree. When I bought my first house at 22yo, I had inexpensive furniture and almost anything that looked like "wood" came in a box with 50 screws and bolts. Years later, all of those things are gone and most of my wood pieces are antiques. I have a 200 yeta old tea cart (used as an end table" that is in better shape that any particle board item that's just 2 years old. On another note, I am almost certain that any antique I've purchased and take care of it, will be worth at least what I paid for it if I ever sell it. Where as, even nice new furniture is going to depreciate by half or more the day after purchase. As for the original comment. Yes, in most homes there is likely to be a couple or a few pieces that are worth something, but most is has a value in line with a garage/car boot sale.
I have no where near this much stuff cause I live in a mobile home yet I'm overwhelmed by the stupid things I keep and could discard I wish I could get help it would only take hours these people are extremely extreme. Even so it can cause same mental instability. Materialism is the worst disease I know of
The consumerism brought on by the industrial revolution in the beginning Victorian Era to the want of the great depression has created problems with people buying and keeping stuff mentalities. I wish I could have kept some of my ancestors things. There are very few items I would have kept from my grandparents items but I wish I had a piece or 4 . I never really got to keep some stuff as I live to far a way to sort stuff out. :( . The 20$ dresser would have fetched 110$USD
Yes it is a very interesting issue. I have a copy of an ancestor's will who died in 1808 in the UK. He left his furniture to one daughter and clothes to another. he left his money equally to his children. He was the only one with any money and he could write which was rare - he was a "freeman" (owned property). The others would have had just about nothing, livein 12 people in 3 rooms, working in coal mines. My uncle's wife kindly sent me my grandfather's silve spoons and table decoration with his name on the latter. They had a bit of money int he 1930s. It is worth under £100 but still nice to have and my uncle had no children. I got it repaired of £100 recently and I polished it. I will make sure one of my children have it. if they want or their cousins if not. Trouble is we have so many ancestors. I have been doing the family tree back to the 1700s on just about all sides and there are so many even just direct ancestors. Perhaps the best thing we keep is their genes and the way they brought up their children which indirectly links to how our parents treat us - and perhaps possessions don't really matter anything like as amuch as that.
It was the otehr way round - mother kindly paid the storage for a year and gave the child all the stuff who was too lazy to sort it out in the year and just left it incurring costs.
sad to see the old clock going for peanuts. I can not believe how cheap are antiques in England. I personally prefer antique furniture unrestored, as they have more character. Fully restored they often look like copies.
I ended up having to buy a 2,300sf house. I tell people I live in my storage unit. I also tell my family they should be glad I am Not a Hoarder cuz just think what I could do! I do have all the glass peanut butter jars I ever got cuz they are such nice jars, but I need a dish washer to clean them cuz wet peanut butter smells SO awful to me. Just call your local habitate for Humanity and they will come haul off all your stuff
That daughter should get the cost back of storing her mother's crap. How did she end up paying it for her mother ? Did she agree or feel obligated? Her mother just dumping all that crap on her very selfish.
Her mother paid for year 1 and gave her all the stuff. She chose not to bother to sort it out in year 1 nor to throw it away that is ht eonly reason she had to pay a single penny
By the same token, Georgina has to bear some responsibility for not getting rid of the junk within the first 12 months when her mother was paying for the storage. She was told by her mother to take what she wants and to get rid of what she didn't want. The decision to keep the stuff was all hers.
I wish I could own a storage place and earn money from people storing tons of useless crap. I myself have gotten rid of most of my stuff and I feel great! Now all I gotta do is get rid of the rest and not buy more crap!
Did anybody else note that the first time the outside of the storage unit building was shown, at 9:40, the complete name (Storewithus.co.uk) was displayed? After that, it was covered completely. Just curious and wondered why. Also, the female "presenter", a so-called expert keeps saying things like, "I am pleased,...", "I am glad...." Why always is it her not the client? 'nuf sed.
I know they mostly just want to help the people, but sometimes this show/the lady is a little bit to mean to the people with the storage containers. Like ''serial hoarder'' naming people like that you only make it worse.
I find this fascinating! It is so foreign to me. I am on the other end. I have a total of 11 pieces of furniture in my entire home, own 38 clothing items and do not like having nicnacs in the house 😆.
Avoid having children then.... even though I have tried for years to have few things each child seems to bring more and more with it and wanting to store stuff here.
The young couple were great, she knew what she wanted to keep, I love crystal so can’t blame her. That second woman made me grind my teeth, all that stuff and she put a high reserve on that painting, fair enough if it was a well known artist. To me it was all stuff for free to her as it was left by family before, keeping some things of course sentimental value, but I felt she was a bit greedy when it come to selling it.
I never understood keeping a bunch of stuff. I have 1 small trunk of memories from my childhood, wedding, a few family trinkets and my son’s childhood. The rest of the stuff is either gonna serve a purpose of be gotten rid of.
It is interesting how it builds up. I scanned about 40 years of old diaries int he last few years and old photos. I have 100 photo albums in date order from 1979 which the children want me to keep in 10 boxes upstairs for example - now all scanned. I constantly clear things out - I quite like doing it but still more and more comes. I just mvoed 50 boxes of my daughters' things from the loft which isn ow totally cleared, to the garage after my daughter removed her landlord's furniture from there which had been there for 3 years as she had her own stuff and the landlord would not remove his. At least that furniture has now gone back to the landlord now she's bought her house so I jsut have the girls' 50 boxes but my sons get back from university this summer with all theirs stuff. Even just last summer one son bought a massive plastic paddling pool and a barbecue for a party which are both now here. Another has his 2 bikes here. I tihnk we are quite good as a family at celaring out but stuff constantly builds us even though I don't think I buy much.
The kid and her boyfriend are getting 2 free holidays a year in Florida courtesy of her mother. In addition, the mother paid for the storage for 12 months which was plenty of time for her daughter to dispose of the content. If her daughter wasn't so lazy and unenterprising, she would not have kept the storage unit for 4 long years.
Mum payed for 12 months storage and left everything to the daughter to do with what she wanted. She could have used it, sold it or given it away. She had 12 Month to do so. So unfair to be angry at the mother. This is all on that lazy daughter "you got an awful lot of stuff don't you?" She got an empty house and all the contend of said house in 1 Garage and 1 storeroom. Yes she got an awful lot of stuff and a lot need to go. but i bet that awful presenter could not get all her own furniture's, nicknack's and memorials into the same 2 rooms. I feel she tend to talk down to people
But why you kept or payed? Your mom is still alive, if she stops to pay or everything goes to the trash or the bills goes to her. I'm not sorry for this daugther, she let her mom do this to her.
Georgina’s mom-classic Narcissist. I would never move a continent away from my daughter unless it was to save her life! horrible! And with no warning at all?!
I gave my parents' record player away a few months ago. One of my sons was interested as there ias been a bit of a resurgance of interest in vinyl records but he wasn't really. We were not allowed to touch it when it was bought at huge expense in the 1960s as very small chidlren so we were very very careful with it and it still works perfectly. It was quite sad to give it to the local charity shop with my parents' records icluding a few 78s but we were not using it so there was no point in keeping it.
I don´t understand why everyone is criticizing the mum who moved to Florida: The daughter had ONE YEAR to sort it, sell anything she didn´t want and keep the profit ,plus got a washing machine etc .
Mother pays the storage unit for a full year, so her daughter can take whatever she needs and wants,such as washing machine etc. They take what they want and ignore the rest. Get free holidays twice a year and still complain. Really!
It's quite a task, though. If she hadn't had the help it might have just been too overwhelming for her.
@@judylloyd7901 the daughter is lazy and the BF is an AH. Simple
Mom payed for 12 month. Daughter took what she wanted and ignored the rest for 2 years or so. They get a free trip to America ones a year with everything payed.
My Mother is a hoarder (on a smaller scale than Susan thank goodness) she asked my sister and I to 'tidy up' the garage where all her stuff is. We had similar piles and all was going well for about half an hour and then it was 'I have to keep that', 'Did you throw that in the charity pile?' etc, etc. It ended in tears and we had to stop. Hoarding is a mental illness and it can't be cured in a few hours or days. When Mum dies it will mostly go to the charity shop, what is sellable I'll sell. I look at my collection and know darn well that the kids won't want it so it will go long before I die and I'll spend the proceeds :)
Lynda Painter Make sure you go through it well. My Mama was hired to help clean out an apartment of a man who died. His niece was his only family. They found several hundred thousand dollars hidden in mattresses, couches, clothes pockets, books. They found pickle jars full of pure silver coins. It was crazy.
@@amandakelley1665 A friend of mine asked me to help him clear out his Aunts place, we found packets of money all over the place, stuck under drawers, behind paintings and a plastic bag containing $27,000 in a small rock garden close to the house - we only found that becasue he had to move a few rocks to put the ladder up to fix a broken window. Sheer luck! Some people are very imaginative (or crafty). I can assure you, my Mum only puts money in books - and not a lot of that! She sensibly has it in the bank. We will be checking everything.
@@lmp8932 I had a similar experience with my elderly parents and, in addition to the shouting and tears, I made the mistake of telling them that I would simply throw EVERYTHING out EVENTUALLY anyway. I really regret losing my temper (something I already inherited from them) and hurting their feelings.
@@amandakelley1665 When my parents died we took what we wanted [ they had nothing of value sadly] and a clearance company took the rest - 7 tons. They found a real skeleton but no cash! It was my father's medical skeleton from the 1940s.
My mother is the same. They want to sell their house and downsize and everything I visit they have made no progress on the hoard. I try not to dwell on it and have some hoarding tendencies myself. Programmes like this make me want to declutter my life more and more.
My Daughter moved from Alberta to Quebec Canada- she brought and basically Dumped enough clothes and furniture to fill several stores into my small mobile home. I had to Keep them for years because she Said she was coming for her things- Put tons of Guilt on me, has sullied My name because after five years, having to build a Huge shed to contain her things , I finally started giving it all to Charity. It is So irresponsible for people to Burden others, family or not , with their so called Valuable stuff. This caused me stress and anxiety as well as financial hardship. It has caused damage to relationships with Family because she Plays the victim and is clueless as to what her actions caused in My life.
Well in fairness her Mum did pay for the storage for twelve months. A pretty decent timeline to get the stuff sorted out! It wasn't the Mum's fault that the daughter decided to keep up the storage for another two years and pay thousands instead of putting that money into their new home! The whole Show is made sound like it's all the Mum's fault. But the daughter has a big part to play in it too! The Mum was pretty reasonable and fair to pay for the storage for a year!
The mum would have been more thoughtful to have got rid of the stuff herself, even if she had to pay professionals to do it. She probably would have known already which items her daughter would want, so could have passed those on to her first.
I wouldn't do that to my children.
3 years and she hasn't gotten rid of coat hangers?!??! Here we have thrift shops that will take all that stuff away for free.
There ARE things that should be held on to and passed on. Because they ARE family property. BUT...comes a time when you have to look at all the STUFF, and ask your relatives and the younger generation " Do you want any of this stuff?" Surprisingly, a lot of the youngsters will scream NNNOOOO!!!!! Ask first, but then feel free to sell it. If there are things you love and want to keep, leave instructions for what you want done with those favorite pieces. My roommie was lumbered with the "family" oak dining room table and chair set. Very nice, been in the family for a few generations. It was meant for a large house, and we are in a small apartment. She has offered the set to her niece and nephew who have more space, but they have firmly refused. She is realizing that the set will have to go, and that she will have to sell it for a pittance of it's true worth. No one wants those big oak sets anymore, no matter how nice they are. Everyone is down sizing.
Sandra Nelson it is true. And many don’t want fancy china, crystal and silver that we inherited and cherished. So, let it go, if no family members want it. I have released many of my possessions like that, and my nieces and nephews want very little of it.
I'm the opposite. I got quite a bit of stuff from my parents' house. They bring back memories, like the babyshoes I used to wear are precious to me because my mom has always kept them. There are other items too, I really still have to go through stuff, but I know my mom is really happy I saved two of her dolls, of which one was her own, feom being thrown away. When she judt got into the care facility she asked me a few times about them and I told her I had them at ny hoise and she was very happy. I won't toss those away, especially not the one she used ro own. The other is a cute little doll I used to have, they were always in a chair together in my parents' room.
A silly rubber duck I once bought as an inside joke for my mom was always on top of the bed. It's now on top of my bed. Becsuse though it was a joke, she has kept it for all those years and I can't ger rid of it.
agree completely. Family should be asked if they want those "heirlooms" and if they do they have to come and get it!! I am the family historian of the group but even I have downsized a lot.
She is quite what we call posh in the UK. My family were coal miners so nothing much to pass on at all which is fine - makes life easier. I do have two silver items from my grandparents worth under £100 and I will pass those one but that does not take up much space.
imagine how many back yard storage sheds they could have purchased with all that rent .
Susan obviously had a good bit of junk, but I feel like they were a bit unfair toward her. If most of her house was emptied into storage due to the renovation then it makes sense that she would keep the things necessary to refurnish those rooms.
Yes, I thought so too. Her whole large house is empty and being done up so when it is done she needs all her furniture back - presumably 2 down stairs rooms and 3 or 4 bed rooms work of stuff.
What a selfish mother. That stuff would have been sold/dumped as soon as she stopped paying the rental for the storage unit.
What’s the point in name calling? If the mother had passed away the daughter would still have the stuff to deal with. The daughter, like many of us is guilty of procrastination and has hung onto everything longer than she needed to.
@@TheDriftdog But her mum isn't dead, is she? Why is it the daughter's responsibility to sort out all that junk that wasn't even hers to begin with? The mother should have done it before she ran off to the States. Part of the reason why the daughter hung on to those things may be the mum hasn't made it clear whether she still wanted them? An irresponsible parent doesn't get a free pass just because she's a parent.
I 2nd that .
@ravencrone56 Treasures? Her mum took anything that meant something to her to Florida. The daughter has established a home of her own and doesn't need the furniture or kitchen items. The fact that the mother payed for storage for a year suggests that she had good intentions. She may have thought that within a year's time the daughter would have been able to go through the items to see if there was anything she would like to keep. I suspect she didn't realize that what she was actually leaving was a burden.
Such a burden to leave for someone else to handle.
RAH Bruhn my great grandmother was a hoarder it took us months to go through her house. My mom and grandma are still sending me stuff they pulled out of her house almost 20 years ago. I can tell by the smell. I won’t do that to my kids.
it helps knowing it happened to other people
RAH Bruhn I agree. I turned 50 this year, and my mid-life "crisis" seems to be actually a regrowth period, and part of that is purging my house of things I just don't use anymore. I can pass them on to younger friends or charity, but I think it is unfair to leave a mass of junk for others to deal with one day. I've never been a hoarder, but it is amazing how much stuff people accumulate over the course of living, things you use once in a while, then forget about. I try not to bring new things in unless old things go out.
Impossible without the daughter's
consent.
I live in US, in Hud subsidized housing. The apartments I'm in was built about 40 yrs ago, so we have more space than the newer units that are being built. I've had some neighbors who were hoarders. When they moved to nursing homes or passed away their family members had to get rid of everything. in some cases they were able to sell some furnishings, donate stuff to charity or just toss it. One family after months of dealing with stuff in addition to their demanding lives, finally left some stuff and the company that owns the company got rid of the junk ( cost taken out of the security deposit.) My mom had downsized and sold or gave things away. I'm following her example. I've been going through stuff and I have thrown away 2 bags of scrap fabric and other crafty items, donated 2 bags. Got rid of old paperwork 4 bags. Sometimes I see decorative items I would like to buy and then realized I don't have a place to display it, I refuse to buy any more furniture or shelves.
Good for you!
I would so love to be more minimalistic but my husband is a Tech-nerd who even keeps the boxes of stuff he bought "just in case" .. it drives me crazy, every bit of storage we got is drowning in computer parts, laptops, cables, chargers, general tech stuff. When we went to the junk yard to throw away some stuff (not even tech things, just stuff I personally haven`t used in a while and wanted to get rid of) he manage to sneak back computer parts he found there on the tech pile cause "it could still be working" 😩
@Carmen Hanrahan Good to know I`m not allone! 😂
And I admit it can come in handy sometimes, for example he can repair pretty much everything.. but I will still dream about a nice and minimalistic place 😅
Sounds like more of a problem than anything.
I've never been so happy as I have been, since decluttering, and downsizing. I have pictures and memories. Keepsakes are lovely... a few, but not so much stuff that I would need to put them in storage and have to pay rent, just to store them. Many things I just donated when I made this last move. Still downsizing. I have become a non shopper. I'm not going to buy anything except to get rid of something. I like when the young gentleman said he wanted to start fresh with his new wife and make their own memories.
Yes, you need less stuff in most cases and then you can actually see what you have and use it. I keep doing this - all my life and even now as the children leave home but then 3 have come back to live after university with even more stuff. I am down to 2 student children now but still have possessions of 2 others to an extent. I will get there in the end......
@@janesmith9024 its harder with children!
Poor Susan, she wasn’t getting rid of junk and rubbish, this is the contents of her home.!
Paul was talking out of his backside, nothing illegal about a Scythe, it was and is a recognised farming tool, no way would it incur any prosecution.
Britains knife laws are very strict, too strict i think. You can even get arrested for carrying around a kitchen knife or having it in your car unless it is in a unopened package and or you have a receipt and can prove that you just purschased it. If not you can be charged with possession of a prohibited weapon. You cannot even carry a pocket knife in the UK unless it is a swiss army knife. Of course there are some exceptions like going camping, needing it for work etc but you have to be able to prove these things.
only if it had blood on it would it be incriminating
Any innocent tool, knife or otherwise can become an offensive weapon, it depends totally on the situation it is found. An extreme example would be, a farmer walking through the village carrying a scythe to access his field would be totally acceptable, on the other hand, if the same farmer turned up drunk outside a Nightclub carrying the scythe, it would be considered an offensive weapon. It all comes down to the use of the implement. As for the comment about knives in the UK, there is a separate law on blade length permitted in a public place.
@Phil Sale , in the farming community, I'm sure you're probably right. Somehow I don't think anyone could get away with walking down the main streets with it though. 😉
@@ExpatPhil You just reminded me of the scene in The Godfather III where the assassin stabs the guy in the neck with the leg of a pair of glasses. Anything can be a weapon, it's all about intention. The sgian dubh is an interesting case.
She has wasted five grand on junk! Those storage buildings are everywhere now making a killing as so many people living in new tiny high rise flats now.
My daughter paid for one as hey lived in a flat and I stored a whole garage and loft of her stuff here too but we are getting through it. I have never paid for a storage but I suppose the diference is I had an hour 's commute to the city so could live in a house not a flat. Horses for courses.
Yeah. You're not buying space. You're buying time.
I like the auctioneer ... his voice is so charming.
Many people say their children dont want their antiques. Minimalism is more the style now.
Yes. I bought a 200 year old furniture unit for all the children's videos, cputer consoles etc for £2000 15 years ago. Even tghen people were buying fewer and fewer of those old antiques because things are so cheap from Ikea. I still like the idea that item is 200 years old actually . have a minimalist style in the house - my bed room has less on show in it than the average hotel room even. I love it that way after years of 5 small children's toys....
Probably because most people don’t Have actual antiques. Just because it’s old doesn’t make it valuable!
OMG.....Aggie.....I used to faithfully watch How Clean is your House.
wow got hosed on the clock. I would have never sold that piece...
darklotuz, whew...good thing you didn’t have to, eh!
Yes but you are not her. Respect her choice also a material item is all that is. The issue with our society is to give material stuff an emotional value.
I use to keep everything and my granddaughter came live with me and I learned if you don’t use it there just taking up space , it was hard but when it was done I’m so happy now easy to keep up and more space
Strange, cleaning out hoarders storage units, sending it to auction,only to sell to other hoarders. It's a cycle.
When mucking out a storage unit, I always wear a dress and heels! 🙄
that was the first thing that came to my mind as well. Obviously she didn't do any cleaning or moving....dressed up like that!
I just don’t think I could get rid of my Grandmothers clock.
That's ok so long as others including the next generation arnt expected to do the same. Where does it end? Great grandmothers, hat, great grandfathers fork, great aunts tea pot etc etc. Some people would love that, other's would see it as a heavy burden. I hate clutter and nick nacks, i hate other people's clutter more, unless i can use it, and it adds to my life i don't want to have to clean and look after it.
RAH Bruhn ppl try keep thing that hold value never know ur clock or fork that’s been pass down might be worth a lot of money
@@jborrego2406 That's how the hording starts
And certainly NOT to a charity shop. She could get some of her storage rent back from selling many of those items.
I can't stomach the lady in the red dress' accent, too thick and hard to understand. Must be Scottish?
I agree with you Danielle, I would have kept that clock as well... I don't have anything from my grandparents and I wish I did. The clock wasn't that big and keeping one piece is ok. Plus, you can sometime blend old/and new style together. Personally, I don't care for new furniture and prefer purchasing antiques because I know it will be good quality and will last longer. I am glad that Susan is renovating the bookcase.
I bought several shipping containers to store all my extra items will never run out of place to put my hoarding items and no fees ever for my children to worry about
They will have to clear them out after you die however. May be sort them a bit before you get too old to do it.
Her mother is so selfish!!!!!
Georgina's mother paid for the storage unit for one year. Georgina used some of the stuff (dishwasher, dining table etc) but didn't deal with the rest of the things. It's like accepting an inheritance, it's all or nothing. Once you accept something, you are responsible for it all, including any debts attributed to the estate. So, Georgina paid the unit the following 3 years. It is her inaction which caused the costs to rise.
Mom wasn't dead. Mom should have taken a vacation back and sorted the stuff.
and free holidays twice a year!
Love this show!
Sorry but if this lady came rummaging through my family heirlooms and life long collectibles while clicking her tongue and rolling her eyes at everything that had emotional value to me and I'd love to keep... Id lose my mind and temper!!!!!!
Fiona Crispin then don’t call the show. End of story
Then keep paying rent on things that aren’t seen, used, and loved. It’s not like these were being displayed and enjoyed in a home. I loved and appreciated my family heirlooms and things I have collected over many years, but easily let go of most when I moved from a house to an apartment. If my nieces or nephews wanted them, they could take them, but aren’t into antiques and most collectibles.
Fiona Crispin: You sound like my 81yo mother and 87yo father. I don't want ANY of their "precious heirlooms" because they're all JUNK and although I don't have kids, I wouldn't save any of that crap for them anyway.
That stuff, other than a single item, had no emotional value for the young couple, and in the other case it was a pyschological ailment, i.e., hoarding, rather than "emotional value" that kept her from wanting to part with anything...including warped and battered old paperbacks, stained dirty suitcases and a cheap tin kettle.
why would you buy a house with someone who has no legal binding with you ? when you breakup, dissolution of the common property becomes that much more problematic.
I wonder if they made it as a couple? That BF was not to my taste. I would've given him the boot by the end of the show. None of her stuff is really his business. I wonder how long she put up with him.
the show seems to take too long to get to the storage units and then too much recapping of whats already happened when coming back from commercials.
a 1 hour show with 15-20 minutes of worthwhile viewing.
edit: meh...thats MOST TV nowadays...isnt it? lol
Why did they block out the name of the storage unit after it had already been shown earlier (storewithus)? Bit late 🙄
When the most valuable thing is worth 150 pounds you know it’s a bad day
Yes, that is the main thing I learned here and from look at my parents' stuff when they died - just about nothing as a resale value that makes it worth your time bothering to sell it. Best to give it to charity.
Wherever I've lived (always in the USA), any storage unit company has a policy that if payment isn't made on time, they'll lock the unit with another lock, and if no payment is made within 30 days of that action, the unit is opened up and everything in it is confiscated and sold. Must be a lot different in other countries, I guess.
@Joyce Blodgett it's the same here in Canada. Pretty sure it is there in the UK, too. These people on the show haven't stopped paying the fees though!
@@dodgingpineapples90 Yes, that's the point. The mother paid for year 1 and daughter chose to leave it there and then chose to pay for 2 more years herself as she was too lazy to sort it out.
@Jane Smith ahh, okay. I misunderstood your original post. I thought you were asking why these people's unit contracts hadn't been voided, and contents auctioned off.
those are some cheap storage locker items to be keeping. If I were to look through mine there would easily be 100-130 collectible items to go in an online auction. Sometimes we will put stuff in an auction and all total make $1.000- 1,400. Low end sales $150- $600. You can reach more buyers through an online auction if the auction house is willing to ship the smaller items.
My philosophy is if you don't like it enough to want to clean it, get rid of it or don't buy it at all. I love art. I love knick knacks, but I don't want to clean it all, don't have time to take care of it all. I will go through everything at least once a year and declutter. I mostly give it away or throw it away, but it leaves my house either way.
I used to work in deceased estates all the youngsters were not interested in gran's old treasures. Times have changed.
Also children have more although they thnk they are much worse off than in the past! When my husband's grandmother died in the 1980s we had just about nothing - could not even afford disposable nappies for the baby so a 40 year old oven was a huge gift to us and an almost broken table. Some people are richer today - young people will not believe me of course but it was so.
Wow I can't believe mum left you to sort out that lot...she must have made a fair bit of money from Little Britain though...🤔
That little Britain comments is so spot on, first thing that came to mind when seeing a picture of her mom.
@@ehrenfeldmichael I couldn't resist it 😉
My mom passed 30 years ago. I have nothing of hers in my home. I have things that she would have loved to own and those things remind me of her. But nothing she owned made me happy. I would NEVR pay for storage!
2:20 is that one of the characters from little Britain?
I am baffled that she sold her grandmother’s bracket clock! Georgina, what a pity.
Storage units are dangerous money pits if you are not careful. 2 or 3 months ,after that it's time to take a brutal honest look at what you are paying.
It is a bit unfair on the mother who moved to the USA - she paid for the stroage for a whole year but her daughter was too lazy to sort it in that year or sooner - sh could have easily done so and she did use some of the items. the mother had already sorted out what what she wanted and only left what she thought the daughter might like. Most of us have to sort out all our parents' things when they die anyway.
I am a minimalist and never was so happy. My ant is always trying to give me stuff but I don’t want it I say no thank you. I love to live with less. I donate what I don’t want to people that really need it. Some people can’t afford to buy household items. I used to sell it for very affordable prices to at a fair, sometimes give it way. I did this with books. People were so happy and made me happy to.
Have given tones of books to libraries to.
I keep some little items from my family and those are center pieces in my home.
rusty old garden tools sell quickly on Facebookmarket place, car boot sales, yardsales and items with a little more value on eBay. Even at £1 a piece many items can find a new home. Then you can freecycle. People come to collect your old clutter saving you a trip to the recycle centre and it gets good use. Everything does take time and effort and may not pay in terms of hourly wages for the effort.
When I took a hired van of stuff to our local ameity rubbish tip the workers liked (1) the bicycles as did some other people there at the time - they were almost fighting over them (!) 2. garden and work toosl which i suppose workmen at rubbish tips might find useful. There was no interest in a white leather not very old sofa and chairs my father had had and none of my children could fit in their smaller flats which seemed a terribile wasgte but after 10 years of storage it just had to go. No interest in old fridges and dishwashes. My daughter knows what designer clothes she can sell on Ebay prettty well. Selling books is very hard and even charity shops sadly have to pulp a lot of them unless rare editions.
Georgina I got $20 for the vinyls and and Susan I would love to see your finished decorated minimalist home 🏡 😁
Enjoy Ladies.
Most old stuff isn't worth much at all. It's just old and nobody will want it unless it's free.
I disagree. Some antiques are worth a lot of money. I personally think that the new furniture is not well built and most of it is made with particle board. Ikea only lasts so long.... This is all I could afford when I was young but I learned over the years that it is made to break... . We had a day bed and an armoire that fell apart after a year. Most of the furniture that I now own is antique and made of real wood that will probably last for years. I also think that you can renovate an antique and change it to your style.
@@ibaber I agree. When I bought my first house at 22yo, I had inexpensive furniture and almost anything that looked like "wood" came in a box with 50 screws and bolts. Years later, all of those things are gone and most of my wood pieces are antiques. I have a 200 yeta old tea cart (used as an end table" that is in better shape that any particle board item that's just 2 years old. On another note, I am almost certain that any antique I've purchased and take care of it, will be worth at least what I paid for it if I ever sell it. Where as, even nice new furniture is going to depreciate by half or more the day after purchase.
As for the original comment. Yes, in most homes there is likely to be a couple or a few pieces that are worth something, but most is has a value in line with a garage/car boot sale.
I have no where near this much stuff cause I live in a mobile home yet I'm overwhelmed by the stupid things I keep and could discard I wish I could get help it would only take hours these people are extremely extreme. Even so it can cause same mental instability.
Materialism is the worst disease I know of
The consumerism brought on by the industrial revolution in the beginning Victorian Era to the want of the great depression has created problems with people buying and keeping stuff mentalities. I wish I could have kept some of my ancestors things. There are very few items I would have kept from my grandparents items but I wish I had a piece or 4 . I never really got to keep some stuff as I live to far a way to sort stuff out. :( . The 20$ dresser would have fetched 110$USD
Yes it is a very interesting issue. I have a copy of an ancestor's will who died in 1808 in the UK. He left his furniture to one daughter and clothes to another. he left his money equally to his children. He was the only one with any money and he could write which was rare - he was a "freeman" (owned property). The others would have had just about nothing, livein 12 people in 3 rooms, working in coal mines. My uncle's wife kindly sent me my grandfather's silve spoons and table decoration with his name on the latter. They had a bit of money int he 1930s. It is worth under £100 but still nice to have and my uncle had no children. I got it repaired of £100 recently and I polished it. I will make sure one of my children have it. if they want or their cousins if not.
Trouble is we have so many ancestors. I have been doing the family tree back to the 1700s on just about all sides and there are so many even just direct ancestors. Perhaps the best thing we keep is their genes and the way they brought up their children which indirectly links to how our parents treat us - and perhaps possessions don't really matter anything like as amuch as that.
That auction show is ridiculous they get rid of 4 items for auction after paying thousands in storage fees
I'm struck by the big difference between auctions in the UK and auctions in the US.
Much more refined in UK. Auctions in US, especially in the south are noisy and obnoxiously embarrassing.
@@dbentleyto95 In the south, we often tend to be soft spoken, slow of speech and polite. We enjoy the pizazz of an auctioneer.
@@crowznest438 😃😄😁😆😅🤣
can you buy something at auction in UK and not pay up? Where i live Bids are binding
Georginas mum looked like Matt Lucas from little Britain as Marjorie
TIL scythes are a regulated item in the UK.
No way would my mother get away with that. The minute she left the shore it would be open and all out!
It was the otehr way round - mother kindly paid the storage for a year and gave the child all the stuff who was too lazy to sort it out in the year and just left it incurring costs.
next week you will be helping the people who are buying at the auction.
sad to see the old clock going for peanuts. I can not believe how cheap are antiques in England. I personally prefer antique furniture unrestored, as they have more character. Fully restored they often look like copies.
I bet that mother who dumped the storage on the daughter is asking for some of the money made.
I don't think she has a claim to it; she "left it," now it's her daughter's stuff.
The amount made doesn't even cover the storage costs for the past two years. If anything, the mother owes the daughter for that.
probably not, the mom wanted a fresh start, she left everything behind, the daughter should have got rid of everything earlier.
That sucks,smh.🤐😑😞
i had that happen to me to , but then its really geting old fast.
I ended up having to buy a 2,300sf house. I tell people I live in my storage unit. I also tell my family they should be glad I am Not a Hoarder cuz just think what I could do! I do have all the glass peanut butter jars I ever got cuz they are such nice jars, but I need a dish washer to clean them cuz wet peanut butter smells SO awful to me. Just call your local habitate for Humanity and they will come haul off all your stuff
moo moo what do you do with the peanut butter jars?
Quite selfish oh Georgina’s mother to just up and leave while placing that burden on her daughter
That daughter should get the cost back of storing her mother's crap. How did she end up paying it for her mother ? Did she agree or feel obligated? Her mother just dumping all that crap on her very selfish.
Her mother paid for year 1 and gave her all the stuff. She chose not to bother to sort it out in year 1 nor to throw it away that is ht eonly reason she had to pay a single penny
10:07 I wonder where that could be oh wait 9:42
What was the agreement between Georgina and her Mum? Did Georgina
defer responsibility and procrastinate?
Costly...
Georgina's mum was utterly selfish to saddle her daughter with the lock-up. Incredibly selfish!
By the same token, Georgina has to bear some responsibility for not getting rid of the junk within the first 12 months when her mother was paying for the storage. She was told by her mother to take what she wants and to get rid of what she didn't want. The decision to keep the stuff was all hers.
I wish I could own a storage place and earn money from people storing tons of useless crap. I myself have gotten rid of most of my stuff and I feel great! Now all I gotta do is get rid of the rest and not buy more crap!
The problem is families don't want to keep junk. Heirlooms maybe if you have room but knick knacks no
Did anybody else note that the first time the outside of the storage unit building was shown, at 9:40, the complete name (Storewithus.co.uk) was displayed? After that, it was covered completely. Just curious and wondered why. Also, the female "presenter", a so-called expert keeps saying things like, "I am pleased,...", "I am glad...." Why always is it her not the client?
'nuf sed.
Product placement. The company has to pay for their name, product signage to be shown on screen.
The mother took off and dumped the daughter with her leftovers. I’d of stopped paying and walked away
I know they mostly just want to help the people, but sometimes this show/the lady is a little bit to mean to the people with the storage containers. Like ''serial hoarder'' naming people like that you only make it worse.
I would never have sold the clock!
Didn't the mum leave in a hurry? Looks like there is a lot of rubbish to leave a child.
o right, plus Mum pays for a free holiday 2x a year in Florida.
Everyone needs a friend like Maggie :-)
I find this fascinating! It is so foreign to me.
I am on the other end. I have a total of 11 pieces of furniture in my entire home, own 38 clothing items and do not like having nicnacs in the house 😆.
Avoid having children then.... even though I have tried for years to have few things each child seems to bring more and more with it and wanting to store stuff here.
@@janesmith9024 there are channels of minimalists with childrens so it is possible.

The young couple were great, she knew what she wanted to keep, I love crystal so can’t blame her.
That second woman made me grind my teeth, all that stuff and she put a high reserve on that painting, fair enough if it was a well known artist. To me it was all stuff for free to her as it was left by family before, keeping some things of course sentimental value, but I felt she was a bit greedy when it come to selling it.
Call the way you see it Maggie. Love her!
Mom? Nothing I can say that wouldn’t be rude.
The camera keeps zooming up on the teddy bear saying something is the best above everything else I thought it was the teddy bear 💛🧸❤️ 🧸💛
Isabella Rose, 🌹 that’s what they wanted you to think.
MrsFoley 1 I know and they got me so good! 😂
She wasn’t made to pay for anything. She volunteered.
Ohhh noooo! She did not just pronounce Llanelli wrong!
Oh yes she did 👀😁
I never understood keeping a bunch of stuff. I have 1 small trunk of memories from my childhood, wedding, a few family trinkets and my son’s childhood. The rest of the stuff is either gonna serve a purpose of be gotten rid of.
It is interesting how it builds up. I scanned about 40 years of old diaries int he last few years and old photos. I have 100 photo albums in date order from 1979 which the children want me to keep in 10 boxes upstairs for example - now all scanned. I constantly clear things out - I quite like doing it but still more and more comes. I just mvoed 50 boxes of my daughters' things from the loft which isn ow totally cleared, to the garage after my daughter removed her landlord's furniture from there which had been there for 3 years as she had her own stuff and the landlord would not remove his. At least that furniture has now gone back to the landlord now she's bought her house so I jsut have the girls' 50 boxes but my sons get back from university this summer with all theirs stuff. Even just last summer one son bought a massive plastic paddling pool and a barbecue for a party which are both now here. Another has his 2 bikes here. I tihnk we are quite good as a family at celaring out but stuff constantly builds us even though I don't think I buy much.
WAY TOO MANY ADS FOR THIS VIDEO.
What a crappy thing to do to your kid!!
The kid and her boyfriend are getting 2 free holidays a year in Florida courtesy of her mother. In addition, the mother paid for the storage for 12 months which was plenty of time for her daughter to dispose of the content. If her daughter wasn't so lazy and unenterprising, she would not have kept the storage unit for 4 long years.
Mum payed for 12 months storage and left everything to the daughter to do with what she wanted. She could have used it, sold it or given it away. She had 12 Month to do so.
So unfair to be angry at the mother. This is all on that lazy daughter
"you got an awful lot of stuff don't you?" She got an empty house and all the contend of said house in 1 Garage and 1 storeroom. Yes she got an awful lot of stuff and a lot need to go. but i bet that awful presenter could not get all her own furniture's, nicknack's and memorials into the same 2 rooms. I feel she tend to talk down to people
Who does storage clean out in a dress and heels! Just stupid !
But why you kept or payed? Your mom is still alive, if she stops to pay or everything goes to the trash or the bills goes to her. I'm not sorry for this daugther, she let her mom do this to her.
What did Georgina do with the bear?
Karen Piermarini kept it. She said it was “staying in the family”
Georgina’s mom-classic Narcissist. I would never move a continent away from my daughter unless it was to save her life! horrible! And with no warning at all?!
boo on her monther for leaving all that for her daughter
Looks like Susan could have Sold many other items in her storage... could have made a pretty penny.
"A vinyl player" hahaaaaaaa
I gave my parents' record player away a few months ago. One of my sons was interested as there ias been a bit of a resurgance of interest in vinyl records but he wasn't really. We were not allowed to touch it when it was bought at huge expense in the 1960s as very small chidlren so we were very very careful with it and it still works perfectly. It was quite sad to give it to the local charity shop with my parents' records icluding a few 78s but we were not using it so there was no point in keeping it.
episode of hoarders but with storage units
But with no dead cats, rats or feces.
GEEZ STORING COAT HANGERS? NOT WISE?
Why are all the storage units the same color... ie the same owner?
Debio one show (two lots of people) is filmed in the same storage unit at the same time / on the same day.
Hey mom I'm having a sale and everything else is going away and of video
Buy a metal hut,insulate it and weld it shut.
And then bury it 😁
Llanelli is said Cl-a-nelle.
She is so irritating and condescending
