Frenford Foodbank have been struggling a bit with organisation and stock taking so Super Organiser AJ and Too Much Time On Her Hands Linda signed up to the task.

Sensibly not cycling in the freezing fog we both opted to use our TFL passes and bussed it in.

The cereal had already been sorted (albeit not to AJs exacting standards) so we got stuck into the pasta crates. There were a lot of crates and all of them had pasta packets with mixed use by dates which needed organising so that the oldest gets used first. Crates of pasta are heavy to shift about but with good team effort we soon worked out the best way to go about the job.💪

We stopped for a much needed tea break at half time, apart from it being thirsty work Linda was starting to lose the feeling in her toes with the cold 🥶.

Once back at work we soon realised we were not going to get done by the end of session and AJ was due to go on another GG mission so we had a quick tidy up and agreed to set up another session to finish the job.

Note to Self - pasta packets are flimsy, treat them gently or prepare to spend time selotaping them back up 🙄
