Mission

Honey, I shrunk the pillows!

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Liverpool.

Miss A asked GoodGym for help with sorting out the spare room in her small flat. There were boxes of Christmas decorations to be stored, and as well as various odds and ends, lots of bedding, curtains and cushions. Fortunately Miss A had planned ahead and ordered some large vacuum storage bags, enabling us to shrink down the bulkier items for stowing away tidily, which was really fun to do! We finished by moving a large storage pouffe back to the living room, in easy reach of the sofa, so she will be able to sort through the many family photos and other items in it at her leisure.

Miss A was delighted to have her spare room back in a tidy condition, and was interested to hear about GoodGym and the sorts of tasks we help with. She said "I didn't know there were still people like this in the world!"

The task done, we took a moment to admire the spectacular hanging baskets outside the building and set off to cycle home again via a local park on a lovely day.
