For the last of our missions today, Abi and I sauntered over to Islington from our previous Hackney mission for a mission for Miss T.

Miss T had numerous jobs around her home that needed doing, chief among which being to build a double-doored wardrobe. As a flatpack-furniture-building aficionado, I was keen to take on this challenge, despite knowing how long furniture assembly usually takes.

Abi and I started off by making as much room as possible to build the wardrobe in. Unfortunately, this was a little difficult as, the living room we were to build in was filled with lots of other furniture and miscellanea intended for the new wardrobe. It was simply difficult to fit the build in anywhere! Eventually we managed to make a bare minimum amount of space to work in by stacking lots of things on top of each other and got to it.

We split the task so that Abi took charge of the instruction sheet while I provided moral support, dodgy jokes and biscuits when needed. It was a long job, and we were definitely glad when panels started to become frames, and when the structure was finally sound enough for it to stand up by itself (our friendship also stood up to working in such close quarters, so yay! 😄🎉).

When only the doors and drawers were left to attach to the wardrobe frame, I left Abi to it and started reorganizing and tidying the rest of the room. Occasionally I rejoined Abi whenever an extra body was needed for a few minutes to hold things or to screw (so. many. dodgy. jokes. 🤣😅)

When the wardrobe was finally finished (cue very relieved Abi!), we made our goodbyes to Miss T, who seemed appreciative of our efforts. There's still a few odd jobs to do around Miss T's place, but hopefully this has tackled the major one and should make it easier for any GoodGymmers who go back!

It was great working with you again, Abi. Hope you got something nice to eat afterwards! 😄
