My CWA came to our rescue this evening when the task we were due to go to, unfortunately had to be cancelled (with very good reason). My CWA happily agreed for us to go back and finish off the painting that we started 3 weeks ago, as well as putting together some rather lovely furniture for their newly decorated rooms.

We had two groups for our fitness this evening. Karen, Maurice & Nicola set off for a 2 mile run, while Claire & Donna took the walking route. Thank you Claire for leading the walk (and taking in some lovely sights along the way.... including Dr. Who's Tardis!!!).

When we got back to Brook House, we split into two groups - Karen & Donna both worked on the furniture assembly, while Claire, Maurice & Nicola set to work on giving all the skirtings a second coating of gloss.

Karen & Donna made a lovely job of assembling the furniture. They managed to put together several plush sofas and chairs and they all looked fab once they'd finished. The new furniture will be going into the newly decorated rooms. They really will look the part.

Over in the other room, Claire, Maurice & Nicola got started on the painting. Tonight, we were giving the skirting a second coat of gloss as well as painting all the window frames and windowsills. This is our third week of painting in this room, but it’s lovely to see a project through from start to end. The room really is looking so much fresher and will be a lovely bright space for the people who use it. Good chatter all round tonight too - as always!

There was only one thing missing from this evening's task…… monkey!!! We’re not too sure where he got to this evening but we most definitely missed our monkey cuddles!

Well done awesome team!!! You were amazing as always tonight and after week 3 on the job, we can safely say that we've definitely made an impact to My CWA and the people who will use the room in the future.

Have a great week.

Love Nicola xxx
