Mr G was worried: his firestick has not been working properly and he feared that he wouldn't be able to stream his favourite channels over Christmas. Solving this technical challenge brought together two of his most regular GoodGym visitors: Alan joined Kash who was fresh from fulfilling Mr G's regular weekly shopping mission straight beforehand.

After a quick chat with Mr G, the pair inspected his TV setup and checked all of the cable connections. A little bit of wiggling to make sure the firestick rested more securely in its socket seemed to do the trick, and Mr G was delighted that his streaming setup now worked perfectly with the desired remote control from his tablet devices.

That quick solution gave the GoodGymers time to start investigating another issue: Mr G's non-functioning doorbell. A dead battery was diagnosed as the culprit and after a little bit of fiddling to remove the doorbell cover, they were able to take out the old battery so that Mr G knows what replacement to buy.

Don't tell that to Santa, but neither Mr G nor I are the biggest fans of the festive time in December. We still wanted to make the most of the Christmas spirit and exchanged cards: one to Mr G from a bunch of Ealing and Hounslow GoodGymers, who supported him with his shopping in the past (Mr G is lucky to live on the area's border!), and from Mr G to his trusted helpers (with a lovely pack of chocolates). Thank you, Mr G!

After a chat about pets we owned in the past, I ran to Sainsbury's to complete Mr G's usual grocery order - this time with new additions: grated cheddar and tinned tuna. Mr G may not love Christmas time, but he does love Brussels sprouts - all year round! He's been lucky over the past few weeks, as Sainsbury's was well-stocked with those little cabbages of the cabbage family.

When I was back at Mr G's, I brought not only two Santa sacks of Christmas goods, but also my partner in crime, Alan, for my double-act tonight: a tech support mission. But that's another story!

Everything went smoothly, apart from my return, with a detour over the South Acton Station, as the train track barriers on my way back seemed to be down until further notice. Well, what can I say to that? Thank you for the extra steps!

We saw off another amazing year of doing good and getting fit in Hounslow last night with a task for an amazing charity, a run/walk that took in some incredible festive displays- and a bit of jeopardy thrown in for good measure!

It was a very Christmassy scene outside the Town Hall at 6:30 last night as GoodGymers met from far and wide, resplendent in Christmas hats and jumpers. Our job for the evening was our traditional end of year task to support the That's a Wrap project. This charity aims to get a gift to every child living in vulnerable circumstances this Christmas. We've supported them the past few years by spreading the word to encourage donations.

We were all set to pick up the leaflets which had been left at the Town Hall earlier that day. Except that - the hall had been locked up early. The grinch had struck!

It took quite some time of pleading, persuading and, let's face it, begging, for somebody to let us in. Thank goodness it eventually worked. We managed to run in and collect the leaflets - it was a Christmas miracle!

With no time to waste, we divided up into walking and running teams and worked out our routes. With 400 leaflets to deliver we needed to make it count. Before too long we were off putting leaflets through letterboxes and enjoying some of the finest Christmas lights Chiswick had to offer.

Fingers crossed all that hard work will result in plenty of donations to That's A Wrap. I'll keep you posted!

Job done, it was off to the pub for a celebratory knees up. There was secret Santa, there was quiz victory, there were festive socks, there was disappointing aubergine. But most of all there was a lot of laughs and plenty of joy to go round.

This year a whopping 70 of you have racked up an amazing 801 good deeds, which is pretty astounding. Five people have got their black tshirt and we have collectively covered over 9000 kms. What a year! Well done to each and every one of you - can't wait to kick off a happy, healthy, fit 2026 with you in January!

This year, the Santa of Acton brought the ladies from the neighbourhood a special gift: an invitation to free fitness classes in January. And no, it wasn't a free month membership that gyms tease people with at the start of each year, but a 6-week programme for 40+ women who want to improve their health while enjoying themselves in a great company.

Santa's four elves: Maria, Sevan, Steph and Kash, took Father Christmas' sack full of leaflets and swooped across the night sky, dropping the flyers through chimneys in Acton's Mill Hill area. Hopefully, the ladies for whom the classes had been designed weren't away for Christmas, and if they were, hopefully the leaflets won't get lost in a sea of other ads before January!
