Tonight’s task was a bit of a heavyweight — helping an isolated older person clear out an old, broken fridge from her second-floor flat so it could finally make its way to the bins. There was some initial uncertainty about quite how enormous this fridge might be, so we were relieved to discover it wasn’t quite the monster we’d imagined! That said, getting it down two flights of stairs still required a fair bit of teamwork, careful manoeuvring and, ultimately, a good old wrestle with the fridge. Once we’d negotiated the stairs and got it safely outside by the bins, the job was done. Our task owner was incredibly grateful for the help, and we were very pleased to have been able to help her.

Why was there a discarded chicken leg? Why was Nick holding it? What role did it play in the fridge removal operation? Frankly, we have no idea. Some questions are best left unanswered.

Thank you so much for helping the client. She was really grateful after waiting for so long and have a long struggle with the council. We hope you had a nice rest after wrestling with the fridge! Best wishes, Nina Age UK Handyperson Service
