10 out of 10

On the agenda for this week was giving Meyrick Park a bit of a makeover.

It attracted 10 of the best!

Lea, fresh off her exploits of appearing in the Guardian in an article about her part in the keeping Bournemouth tidy efforts with the amazing Dorset Devils. Glad there wasn't any human excrement this time round!! And she topped that by completing her 15th Good deed!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!

Emma and Lea are seasoned pro's so they brought their own litter pickers, and Emma even had her own reusable "bin bag".

Only a couple didn't bring gloves....which now reminds me there wasn't a forfeit for them!!! DAMN!!! That's ok....I'll remember for next time...I think?

We have a very committed group, you know....Charlotte managed to step on a Weever fish in the morning, went to work and then still turned up to do some good with us! And Lea, along with now having to deal with being famous, had a pretty serious cut on her head from an accident on Tuesday and still turned up!

With bikes locked up, gloves on and litter pickers at hand we set off....in two naturally forming groups....boys and girls....it just happened. And it was amicable!

Daryl, Sam and Sean combed the right hand side of the park, finding less than expected behind the toilets.... Sue, Hannah, Emma, Lea, Karen and Char set off across the field to the left side of the park.

We soon converged at the top of the park and the main entrance to the park where the team hit the jackpot!

Sue and Karen managed to itsy bitsy spider lots off cans up and over a fence with their pickers....Hannah and Daryl managed to break theirs....

Char discovered 2013 ear buds and then took it upon herself to pick them all up and then we all wondered what the ear buds were being used for...except Emma she gagged each time we mentioned ear wax hahaha

Hannah forced me to climb a tree to get a bag down that had been safely stored away...we felt bad and put it back...I miss climbing trees!

Lea reported some fly tipping, Sam probably was possessed...in a good way! Each time he headed off into the bushes he came back with loads of stuff!

In the end we filled up all our bags, spent time outdoors together, left things better than when we arrived and headed home feeling that little bit better than when we started. Improving your life by just 1% can have a great impact.

What's your 1% going to look like today?

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
