When supporter Lynn Day decluttered her house for BBC1's Trash to Cash, she sold off loads of unwanted bits and bobs – and raised a tidy sum for Christian Aid.
Watch Lynn's episode of Trash to Cash on BBC1 on Friday, 14 August, and on BBC iPlayer after that.
Lynn’s clear out
With help from experts and TV presenters Paul Hayes and Mark Franks, Lynn’s jumble-packed house was quickly cleared as unwanted household trash was turned into cash – half going to the family and half to Christian Aid.
Assorted dusty items were recycled, repaired or put aside for sale.
Specialist buyers were brought in to bid on recently uncovered household gems including an old barometer sold for £60, and some vintage Swarovski costume jewellery, which earned £120.
Lynn’s sale took place last February, but despite the wintry conditions, the sale, which was advertised on local radio, attracted a stream of visitors and raised £765.
Lynn said: ‘The day was a surreal combination of panic and calm. My stuff was displayed to the nation and there were strangers treading snow into the carpet, but I was finally rid of the clutter.’
Lynne’s episode of Trash to Cash is on BBC1 on Friday, 14 August, and on BBC iPlayer after that.
