Three GoodGymmers met in Hackney to move a sofa so Ms R can come home from hospital.

After a small amount of confusion finding the flat we were in and being showed the sofa we needed to move and the spot to take it to. Two doorways and one flight of stairs for a three seater leather sofa: no problem.

It was a three person job: taking the weight, balancing the right angle to get through the door, pivoting around corners and making sure we didn't smash picture frames on the way through the steep and narrow and quite high staircase.

We did managed it and R was really pleased. It means his wife's hospital bed can be moved in and she can come home in three days time.

We celebrated with a selfie and we were off.
