Today I completed my 200th good deed in slightly different circumstances to the ones I had anticipated but I still got to share it with 3 lovely other GoodGymers and wear the beautiful cape made by Jen. Mel is hot on my heels and will be wearing the cape next week. Get your cheers ready!

Enough about the celebrations, the task today was to sort out all the summer donations in preparation for the shop to reopen with new stock on Tuesday. A huge number of black bags were unloaded from a van and brought into the shop. We hung as many tops and dresses as we could before we ran out of hangers. Then we started sorting into piles of sizes so that more stock is ready to come out as soon as there is space!

Catherine took some lovely photos and managed to control her urge to buy anything! Rachel and Sam also did stirling work and helped fill the "budget" bag with the less lovely donations!

As there is a lot of stock and the shop is quite busy as one of the few charity shops open in Southsea, we will be revisiting over the next few weeks. Watch this space for the dates and times.
