Sometimes life throws curveballs, and sometimes those curveballs land you sharing a house with your best friend, surrounded by a lifetime’s worth of accumulated stuff. That’s the predicament facing Sally and Lynn on Monday’s episode of The Travelling Auctioneers, airing at 3:45 PM on BBC One. After battling financial strain, health issues, and the loss of loved ones, the friends find themselves needing a fresh start—and a holiday. Enter Izzie Balmer and Saf Fakir, the dynamic duo of decluttering and restoration.

Izzie, with her eagle eye for hidden gems, unearths a treasure trove of jewelry and a rather grand 19th-century French mantelpiece clock among the clutter. Saf, meanwhile, gets to work on a mid-century draw-leaf table and employs some, shall we say, unconventional methods to restore a brass statue. The ultimate goal? To turn Sally and Lynn’s unwanted items into cash, enough to fund a much-needed getaway. The destination remains uncertain, adding a touch of mystery to the proceedings. But let’s face it, after everything they’ve been through, a change of scenery is the real prize.
