For my 99th mission, Peter and I didn't stay lyin around and moved a couple of wardrobes, which would free up space for a hospital bed to enable P's husband to come home

Some of the most effective missions are the simplest. Move two wardrobes (thankfully a single and a double rather than a triple) from A to B. Simples.

Things we noted made it easier were to empty them first, to make them lighter and also lets you see what's in it and find random things.

I mean, a tripod obviously should be stored under the shoes at the foot of the wardrobe, obvs!

Peter also discovered the wardrobes had wheels! But kinda kept it a bit quiet to spare P's blushes.

Probably ten minutes of heavy graft but saved P from an impossible task to do alone.

Less in the home and more for the homeless

Just by chance, our lovely P has been meaning to declutter and asked if we knew of charities who would collect surplus clothes.

And just by chance, I was due to perform in a concert the same evening which will seek support and funds for a local homelessness charity.

I gladly took a large bag of warm men's clothes and some warm boots. Luckily this was a local mission so I could just walk down the road.

Oh happy day!
