It was a delight to be back at Motherwell this evening as it had been a while since we were last there. The fact that it was an indoor task on an evening when it was minus 3 outside, was an added bonus!!!

Before getting stuck into the task, we headed out for a brisk walk – it couldn’t be anything other than brisk on a night as cold as tonight. Our pace kept us reasonably warm as we headed down to the Park, down Alton Street, back up Wistaston Road and then back to Motherwell. It was a good looped walk. We had a good natter as we walked, and it was lovely to learn a bit more about our newest member, Gill. Gill joined us for her first task just before Christmas, and it was great to welcome her back again today and chat some more.

Back at Motherwell, we were given a lovely welcome, as always by Motherwell’s founder, Kate who got us started on our job for the evening. This evening, we were tasked with assembling 6 lots of shelving to house all the school uniform donations. It was a lovely, chilled and rewarding tasks as it didn’t take long to see the shelves coming together. Maurice & Gill worked brilliantly together assembling the shelving, as did Kate & Kat. Nicola floated between both teams helping where needed and getting rid of all the rubbish.

We put together 6 lots of shelving with only one minor hiccup – a pole that got threaded and wouldn’t go together properly. Despite our best efforts, we couldn’t fix it, so Gill kindly offered to take it hope to enlist the help of her husband to fix it. Thanks Gill!

The evening ended on a high when were each given a packet of fancy Mcvitites biscuits to take home (yum!). Who’s made it home and who’s had been devoured before they’d even got off the car park…..? ;)

Well done team, a very productive night's work. Thanks Motherwell for having us. We’ve loved it as always and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Lots of love Nicola xxx
