Huge congratulations to India who celebrated her 50 Good Deeds today and the first person to show off the new Rosette! Who will get to wear it next? It was early doors today as we whipped through all the jobs really quickly. And what a difference a few days make - where had all the food gone? In another smaller room was the answer, now all neatly stacked in containers sorted by date. Judy very neatly tie-wrapped the shelving together to make sure it was really stable which involved her lying down to reach through to the back and wriggling back out again. Rachel, Jo, Richard and Mel gave all the tables a good anti-Bac clean and folded them down so that they could be moved to a small recess which Rich and Jo had already emptied of some furniture. It took a while to work out how to stack to get them all in, but eventually successful. We all then joined India who had been diligently folding plastic bags of all sizes to fit into a grey laundry basket ready for later use - a bit like fitting a quart into a pint pot! Good to know they'll be re-cycled! Rich and Jo took turns sweeping up the floor and we left the room spick and span for its next visitors.
