Last night's GoodGym mission was simple: head out into your local area and pick up some litter. As ever, there were plenty of interesting finds along the way!
Hannah turned a trip to take her little one to nursery into a mini litter-picking mission, collecting 15 cans, a plastic bottle and even a bit of a car.
Laura achieved a true litter-picker milestone by finding a discarded pair of pants. You're not really a seasoned litter picker until you've found some abandoned underwear!
Amanda got stuck in and filled a bag with litter from her local area.
Lucy combined her litter-picking efforts with a run, proving that it's perfectly possible to clean up and get your miles in at the same time.
Ellie wasn't able to join the litter pick itself, but she still got involved by sharing photos of some brilliantly creative bins in Sweden that had been painted to look like people.
Sarah picked near a petrol station and found plenty of disposable gloves to keep her busy and a 104 cigarette butts. Yes, she counted every single one! Her most amusing discovery was a rather rude note intended for a badly parked car, suggesting the driver might want to rethink their parking technique.
Wilson filled an entire bin bag and uncovered a Stella Artois glass, along with a pile of used scratchcards. Ever hopeful, she checked every one of them just in case there was a hidden jackpot... but sadly, it wasn't to be.
A huge well done to everyone who took part and helped make their corner of the world that little bit cleaner.

Tonight we got to work tidying up the flower beds in the Rose Road car park. A lot of the plants were overgrown in the sensory garden, bindweed had taken over and rubbish had blown in off the street. We carefully pruned, pulled, picked and swept to leave the main flower bed looking much smarter and the parking spaces clear. I don't know about everyone else, but I worked so hard with the secateurs I got a blister!

Nine of us headed to Aldermoor Farm yesterday, with a surprise addition to the team! Beth, who we normally help out at Rose Road, decided to join us as a GoodGym member! It took Wilson a moment to work out why she was standing at Aldermoor Farm rather than Rose Road - doesnt take much to confuse.
Our main task was tackling the notoriously overgrown hedge. We've cut it back many times before, but this time it had really got out of hand. Six members of the team attacked it from both sides and did an incredible job, although I suspect there are a few aching arms today after such a serious workout.
Meanwhile, Beth joined Sarah on the onion bed for some much-needed weeding, carefully untangling the ever-persistent bindweed.
Wilson also got stuck in, cutting back several other overgrown bushes by the pond.
By the end of the session, we could take a group photo by the hedge which wouldn't have been possible before we started!
Epic work team - thankyou

Tonight we were in charge of cleaning and packing away all the things from the Colour Run the day before. We quickly got to work organising a box for resuable items, checking and refilling the "useful" event boxes, and wiping down the tables. Ashleigh upon discovering a wheel had broken on the trolley set out with great determination to fix it. It was no easy feat and she had to call Lucy in as reinforcements. After some work with a hammer, a glue gun and some tape the wheel was back on. Unfortunately it did not pass the "Can you support a whole human" test. So they had to start all over again! I can confirm the wheel is now back on but we wouldn't recommend an heavy loads at the front of the trolley or any bumpy ground!
