Report written by Manjit Birk
Chris and I took on a mission today to help Miss S pack her belongings and household items so Man with A Van could transport them all to her new accommodation.
On arrival Miss S had made a start with a box here and a bag there, but it was clear to see she needed help with putting things into some kind of order.
Step in Chris and I... she was actually expecting two blokes but sadly she had to do with me! (And Chris!)...
We could see she needed a little rest as she was getting out of breath, so in true GG style, we told her we could make a start and let her take a Kit Kat break.
From then on the clock was against us as Man in a Van was arriving at 2:30! We knew we had to jump into action 21 Jump St style! (Probably only Chris and I actually remember that show!)
I went upstairs to help finish off packing the bedding whilst Chris tackled the jams and the jars.
We found boxes for the cutlery, bin bags for the bleach, Iceland bags for the rest! But neither of us could get the cellotape roll open (the challenges of latex gloves and face masks!).
Over an hour in, we were done! We had cleared the kitchen, tidied and packed the lounge and packed the bedroom.
Then we discovered the cupboard under the stairs!
Chris bravely stuck his head in and found the Christmas tree, bags of letters and more Iceland bags.
Another room cleared and we were now done!
Miss S was so appreciative of our efforts. Wishing her all the best on the rest of her move.
