There didn't sound like there was much to do at Mr J's flat. He'd been having trouble keeping on top of things a few months ago when he was referred for help to declutter. Since then, he'd worked through the backlog himself, leaving Kash, Sevan and Mr J wondering how GoodGym could help him. At first, Mr J directed them to a pile of clothes that could go for donation, then, he remembered that there was a "storage" room where things went to be dealt with later.

The storage room sounded promising, so Mr J asked them to organise it by putting similar things together and making it look less like everything had been dumped there. During the mission, Kash and Sevan learned than Mr J had had an adventurous life. He had a trade which he'd worked in until retirement. He also knew how to have fun in his free time.

"I've been under the water diving and above the ground paragliding."
"I love to travel too. I've been all over and I loved India the most." - Mr J

In the spare room, Mr J first introduced Kash and Sevan to a memento from someone else's travels. A pirate chest, apparently from the 1820s. The treasure inside was long gone, unfortunately, so Mr J left the pair to work through the other boxes, bags and envelopes in the room by themselves.

Kash and Sevan found all manner of things from Mr J's life, discovering that he was an intentional and unintentional collector. He had sets of stamps, coins, photos and postcards from his travels, watches and clocks, all deliberately kept. He was very keen on his timepieces. There were also old mobile phones going back to the early 2000s, ceramic pieces and old hearing aids that had just hung around. Kash found containers to group Mr J's belongings together, creating a box for paperwork, for photos, for stamps and for random other bits and bobs.

By the end of the mission Mr J's storage room had become less daunting, meaning that he could now find similar items and sort through them in his own time. Two bags of rubbish had been removed too, which was a huge help for Mr J as he'd been housebound for the last 6 months.
