There's a tiny flaw in this plan...we need to tear up a huge massive amount of flooring!

A long with a bunch of other Goodgymers I volunteered at the Crisis at Christmas take down. Helen

Lots of goodgymers pitching in to help dismantle the Crisis at Christmas warehouse this weekend.

We had Peter and Aidan taking picnic tables down to pieces and packing into containers, the ambition was to get them into just 3 containers... they did it in 2, EEEE-ZEH!... Kitchen areas cleared and cardboard sorted into the recycling (that bit's very important).

Hilary,Helen , Chris and Tina(we salute you) were tearing up miles and miles of carpet tiles.

Graham, Rosa,Siobhan,Nickand John were on printers in the morning - testing them for toner... making sure they were toned up like the goodgymers!

Brad, Tori,Jade Kelsey, Kevin, Sharonand Paul were working on sorting out the remaining donations, including a footy umbrella

Break for lunch, bake off between Hilary (brownies) and Rosa (cookies) because both are approaching milestone numbers of tasks - whoop whoop!

After lunch there was a hilarious amount of flooring to be taken up in the warehouse, I'm no expert but I'd estimate at least 100,000 square metres. Team printers and team carpet tiles joined forces to tackle it and Paula entered the fray bringing Spanish flair to the exercise. All had to be stacked in a very particular way, time consuming, but got there in the end. And the reward was neatly folding enormous carpets.

All then had to be shrink wrapped...An exercise which has psychologically scarred a teenage Graham. This time Graham came out on top. Take that shrink wrap!

How's that for a slice of fried gold. See you all next time!
