This week Róisín and the team travel to Donegal to help Margaret and her 93-year-old mother Bernadette clear their home of the clothes, furniture, and bric-a-brac that seems to grow by the day.
Margaret just can't seem to say no when it comes to a bargain which has led her beautiful home to become unaccommodating to guests.
The Donegal woman cares for her elderly mother full time as she is wheelchair bound and totally dependent on her daughter. It can be tricky for the two ladies to get out of the house so Róisín hopes to make their home more welcoming to friends and family who want to visit.
when Margaret isn't caring for her mother, she spends her time volunteering in the local charity shop, with her lifelong best friend also called Margaret. It is this part-time job that has led to her vast collection of handbags, shoes, and scarves.
Róisín and her team plan to help Margaret declutter her home and give her the space she needs – her very own sanctuary in her bedroom and a nice spacious sitting room.
