January may be a time of New Year's Resolutions but whoever had donated all of their old office phones to the Children's Scrapstore had left a bit of a tangled mess, perfect for GoodGym to sort out!

The simple task of attaching a handset to a desktop unit sounded simple but we soon worked out it was MUCH more satisfying if the handset fitted properly into the desktop unit and made the job much harder for ourselves (as well as detangling the handset wires). We never did find the Berkshire 400 handset but we only finished half of the three huge crates, so maybe there's still hope?

Harsheh was the only GoodGymmer to take up the offer of gloves with the rest of us relying on handwashing at the end if the task - not realising quite how dusty the crates and contents were and Jo and Francesdeclaring aprons a good idea next tine were there.

The runners set off, led by Richard whilst the walkers consolidated the remaining phones to be matched ensuring wed emptied at least one of the crates (and found Mariannea Micro USB charger in the mix.

The Scrapstore staff had enjoyed having us back in the warehouse and we'd improved the 80s song knowledge of some of the younger GoodGymmers with Blondie classics "Hanging on the telephone" and "Call me" before descending into cannibalising phone sets and Fine Young Cannibals renditions. A great time all round.
