Mission

Sofa so good - Praise be for Peter's tool kit

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

This was my first mission so thankfully I was paired up with Peter who has completed rather more than this and knew to bring a tool kit.

The simple moving of a sofa from one room to another ended up being a slightly more sweaty affair with both arms and the sofa feet being removed so we could achieve a Friends-eque 'pivot' from the living room to the bedroom.

For any future Missions, if the sofa needs to be put back together the screws/bolts are in a bag inside the sofa bed!

All sorted and will I am sure make a massive difference. Her husband is due to be discharged from hospital on the 28th so fingers crossed they will be much happier back together.

Mrs G did have a suitcase of (clothing I think) and another couple of bags that she would like taking to a charity shop to clear the living room further. Would this be possible before the 28th?

Looking forward to many more!!
