The staff at Scope in Erdington were very happy to see us again and had a lot of jobs lined up. The first one was to move a filing cabinet which had seen better days out into the back yard. We did this relatively easily, although it was a bit of a squeeze getting it through the crowded back room. Then we had a big job to move a good filing cabinet down from the first floor. We took a bit of a Laurel and Hardy approach to it as it slipped out of Jonny's fingers on the stairs and I managed to stop it and hold it up. A few loud bangs later, with a bit of a controlled slide, and we had an improved filing system in place. After checking ourselves for damage we got into the main job. This was to get bags of winter clothes down from the top floor to be sorted out and put out in the shop. Once we were done with this whole body workout, we then had to put all the bags of summer clothes up in the place we had just emptied on the top floor. We did so and cleared two rooms for the hardworking staff in the shop.
