After splitting up after a 1st community mission in the morning, Sevan and Steph Ducat met again after a short break and some running at Ms Y home. We were welcomed by Ms Y who took both compadres to the 2nd floor to start their mission. As Ms Y is having a removal company on the 2nd of January to pack and move to another location, the goodgymers were here to help sort and declutter both 2nd and 1st floor. We started in the bedroom and office followed by the 2nd bedroom. The bedroom cupboard was not accessible and loads of rubbish and clutter on the floor/underneath the bed which you could not see or move the drawers. Bags galore!!Loads of bags which needed to go through. Keep, throw away or give to charity : that is the question and we tried to reason Ms Y to avoid keeping thins which are not used or very old like electrical of IT items. Going through bags and purse after purse appeared in front of Sevan and Steph : purse-uing the dream of decluttering the space. if Ms Y had cash in all the purses we found ,she would probably be a millionaire that is how many purses appeared!! Then when we started the 2nd bedroom, we could hear a voice coming from the cupboard : we should hangout some time!!What was that? When opening the cupboard, we found loads of coat hangers with no coats etc ...so time to hang around with them and let them out of the closed space. Then we adventured to the 1st floor to a lounge which had loads of plastic shopping bags - all empty!! We also discovered old IT stuff like floppy disks, broken blackberry, old phones etc... Sevan was then the thinker of the trio(see picture) . At the end of the session, we were able to sort out a lot and bagged 4 bags of rubbish/clutter. Ms Y still has some organising to do but she has less to do following todays mission/
