A magic carpet job was not what Kash and Sevan expected when arriving at Ms C's for her now weekly mission. There was a roll of carpet in the bedroom that Ms C wanted on her living room floor to keep the room warmer. The problem was that the living room floor was covered with her belongings (yet to be decluttered), so it would need an impressive magic trick to get the carpet down. Together, they decided that it wasn't a realistic task to complete, so they moved on to other things.

For Ms C's second priority, Kash was banished to squeeze items that Ms C wanted to keep into the storage cupboards in the kitchen, or maybe it was a black hole as it kept gobbling up more and items. More than it should be able to hold. Kash spent much effort trying to convince Ms C to give things away that she shouldn't need.

"What's that?" Ms C
"That's a dart board" - Kash
"Do you play darts?" - Ms C
"I used to have a board"
"Do you play darts?" - Kash
"No. I just liked the look of it at the time" - Ms C
"Maybe you can donate it to the charity shop?" - Kash
"No, I want to give it to someone who really loves it." - Ms C

...and so it too went into the black hole. Maybe in the future Ms C will find a darts player who doesn't have their own board and it'll find its true home. Other exotic and unusual items made their way to the cupoboard, including a tortoise shaped lamp, a 1.5m long fake snake and Ms C's Halloween mask collection 👹.

As organising the cupboard was a 1 person job, Sevan worked nearby to fix Ms C's heated airer. It had been put together badly, so couldn't be unfolded. After a bit of cursing at Black and Decker's product design that made no sense to Sevan, he managed to get it into a usable state, then went on a grocery dash to the corner shop at the end of the road.

As Kash struggled to get the black hole to consume any more of Ms C's things, Ms C confessed.

"I'm a hoarder, but when I have that extra [storage] space outside, you won't think so." - Ms C

Sevan wasn't sure that having more storage space would necessarily help with that. Kash tried to explain the benefits of minimalism with limited success.

"When you're finished with me, I'll be a minimalist too" - Ms C
"It's like an addiction. You need to want to become a minimalist" - Sevan
"Oh, yes. I'm really quiet a neat person" - Ms C

There was something different to round off the mission. Ms C's garden was the location of Kash and Sevan's first mission together and the went to the garden again to feed the local birds. Sevan filled a cage with fat balls and Kash filled a dish with dried grub worms, making Ms C and the local avian population very happy.
