28 Dettols Later

After initially going to the wrong door which had a cute moggie peeking through the blinds, Kash and Sevan were pointed towards Ms D's house. After being disappointed at missing out on some cat petting first time around, they were thrilled to see that Mrs D had her own friendly feline to keep them company!

Ms D had requested GoodGym to help declutter her flat and today's ask for Kash and Sevan was to work on 2 cupboards. As the cupboard doors were narrow, they decided to split. Upstairs for Kash and downstairs for Sevan where Ms D kept him company.

When they each opened their cupboards, they were amazed by the amount of things crammed into them. At the top of the stairs, Kash found her's chock full of pillows, kitchen towels and cleaning supplies, while under the stairs, Sevan found a freezer, cat food and even more cleaning supplies. It looked like Ms D had been preparing for the apocalypse, but she explained that she'd been in hospital for months and had planned for being less mobile by stocking up beforehand.

Kash worked away uninterrupted, removing everything from the cupboard. Her most interesting discoveries ware a chandelier hidden amongst the bottles of Dettol and a lifetime supply of council-provided bin bags. Once the cupboard was empty, Kash used her own initiative to refill it in a sensible, organised way.

Downstairs, Sevan too had been asked to empty his cupboard. He found bottles and tubs of bleach and detergent that'd been crushed under the weight of other bottles and tubs. In total there were 6 bottles of disinfectant, 6 boxes of dishwasher tablets and 6 packs of laundry detergent, plus a lot more. Sevan was asked to put any spares at the back while keeping everything within easy reach. He tried to explain that this didn't seem possible, but nevertheless did his best to build a new and improved jenga tower.

At the end of almost 2 hours, our protagonists thought they hadn't really done much other than reorganising some items. Ms D was really happy though with the first steps in decluttering her flat. We hope that she will eventually regain the space to allow her grandson to stay with her.
