Today I met up with Anne for a mission for Ms C.

Ms C recently had a broken pipe in her flat. In order to fix it, the repairmen had to move her wardrobe. Ms C needed her wardrobe moved back into position in order that she could use it and have more space in her room.

After introducing ourselves to Ms C and her daughter, we got to work. Luckily, Ms C's daughter had already emptied the wardrobe, so our only task was to move it.

Anne and I approached this wardrobe move in slightly different ways: Anne wondered if we could move the wardrobe by pushing up on its upper roof, and demonstrated this action in a manner I suggested was reminiscent of her raving days 💃

My approach was much baser, and involved simply squatting and using the old gluteus maximus to push the wardrobe along the floor.

The bump and slide won the day (the wardrobe being in no way prepared for this jelly). We completed the whole operation in less than 5 minutes, which Anne thinks is the fastest mission she's done in her entire GoodGym career 😁😎

Ms C and her daughter were both very happy with our fast work, and we had a little girl power moment as we made our goodbyes.

Glad to catch you again, Anne, even if only briefly! 😊
