2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Ealing.

Sunday, 3rd of December 2017

Mrs C welcomed us into her home and said she would like some help spring cleaning her bedroom to clear it for winter. Tabitha and I flexed our muscles moving piles of clothes into enormous suitcases which we then stowed away on the top of wardrobes. The bedroom was full of so many various shaped items that it was like a giant game of Tetris working out how to fit all the objects into the space.

The three of us had lots of girly chat as we helped Mrs C sort out her HUGE collection of clothes for eBay, the car boot or for her own use. "I've kept M and S in business," said garment-loving Mrs C. She wasn't wrong there!

We spent hours working through reams of scarves, shoes and African style tops until we had (satisfyingly) cleared her bed, revealing a huge comfy bed and divan ready for Mrs C's winter sleeps.

Mrs C has told us she will now stop shopping. This remains to be seen over the Christmas period!

We were really happy to help her clear her place but in our excitement cleaning the bedroom we didn't have time to put up the curtains before our next mission. Next time!
