| Summary |
The stuff that goes with family life is always a challenge. Wendy talks to families about how they negotiate Christmas, clutter and collecting. Dr Peter Clarke, an expert on the festive season, offers a few insights into why normal consumption behaviour goes out the window at Christmas time.Also this week, we watch a de-clutterer and a Feng Shui practitioner go about their business trying to clean out family homes. Artists and writers talk about why they are deeply, emotionally attached to their material possessions.Storage units are usually crammed with stuff that's forgotten or useless. Wendy puts storage client John Oriaglaso through the 'My Stuff' test. We meet the Walker family who tell us what it was like to lose all their stuff in a fire, and the Brown family is challenged to rescue all they can from their home in just three minutes.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Created and Written by Wendy Harmer.
