Melissa and Alan arrived muscles-ready to move a bed and a wardrobe to allow building repairs to take place in one of Ms C's rooms. On arrival though, it was clear that this would not be so straightforward: the wardrobes were full of clothes and the bed piled high with miscellaneous items. And there was no free space in Ms C's flat to move things to.

Undeterred, the GoodGym duo took a key first step by helping clear out the wardrobes. While Ms C was keen to keep most of her extensive clothing collection, a few bags were designated for recycling or charity shops.

Ms C was delighted to have made a start on the clearance work.

Having shopped for Mr G many times, I pride myself on being able to gather his items without needing to refer to the (very helpful) set of labels he provides.

Today, I was just about to press "Finish and pay" at the checkout when I remembered he'd asked me to add a Chicken Korma to the list. A brisk (but careful) jog across the store and I was able to grab one and get back to the checkout before the store attendant was alerted to intervene.

Mr G's other two chicken products were not in stock, necessitating close substitutions, but Mr G was grateful as ever for the GoodGym support in getting his food supplies for the week.
