Mr B was expecting me when I rang his flat number this morning, as was the building manager, who then kindly accompanied me up to Mr B's flat where we discovered he'd placed one of the two parts of the divan on top of a suitcase - something to surely rival the Princess of pea fame...

We got to work clearing out the old broken bed frame that had been pushed to one side, along with a very tired(!) looking single mattress, and then unpacked the divan base and got the wheels and legs fitted, and the two halves joined together.

With a space now cleared (and the floor a lot cleaner), it was just a case of moving the divan into the space and putting the mattress on top - "a proper bed" declared a clearly pleased Mr B, who has apparently been sleeping on the single mattress for over a year. One final request to change the lightbulb above his bed to give him some light, and the mission was complete.

It was fantastic to welcome Claudia to her very first task last night - great to have you join us! It was also a pleasure to have GG record breaker John back in Westminster, and to see Jacquie and Kamil for our session too.

It was our return trip to St Andrew's last night - little did we know that we'd get a task that truly put us through our paces!

The brief - move six heavy tables from the garage to the storage area. The challenge - the stairs! And not to only that, but these tables were heavy. Really heavy!

Not to be deterred, we happily shifted the bases first. This did involve some technical corner based manoeuvering but didn't pose too much of a problem.Then came the table tops! This was the true work out for the evening.

First one went up - tough but not too bad. Then the second one came and we had a stroke of luck with two gym goers willing to give us a hand. Unfortunately their good will only last the space of one journey, so the last four were left to us. Muscles engaged, we lifted, shifted and pivoted until all the tables were safely in their new home. What a test of endurance! Adrian, who runs the club was really pleased we managed the task, one that he said they would have struggled to make happen - so great work everybody.

Next Tuesday we will have another session - I"m just confirming exactly what it will be so watch this space but hope to see you then!

A first time shop for the very grateful Ms A, who I sensed was also surprised that I'd found her front door without too much trouble. After a quick discussion about which supermarket I should aim for to get what she needed (she kindly saved me a long walk in the pouring rain to the King's Road), and her checking that I had an umbrella with me, it proved to be a reasonably quick and easy treasure hunt and I was soon back at her now more familiar front door with a slightly damp shopping bag in hand.

A short list today as Ms D admitted her freezer is full and she's still working her way through last week's treasure, but top of the list today was Kitchen Roll, although she then did go out of her way to mention the Mint Chocolate too...it's always important to know her priorities!

With a hospital bed coming to allow Mr B's discharge from hospital, he and his partner needed to do a bed shuffle. Their king sized bed needed to move from the bedroom to the room next door. That was a king sized problem to solve as both rooms and doors were on the same side of a narrow corridor, so there was a tight bend to steer the bed around.

A few smaller moves needed to happen first. The heavy mattress was flexed through the 2 door frames and propped up against a huge bookcase, then a table want the other way to make space. Now it was time to move the bed frame, which would take some trial and error. Mr B's partner found some small screwdrivers for Kash and Sevan to remove the head of the bed and it had some really long screws. There was a lot of wiggling needed to separate the wooden pieces, but eventually they were free and it was time to see if the rest of the frame could squeeze through to the second room as it was.

The beheaded frame did make it through and the head followed soon after. All that was needed was to reunite the 2 parts. That meant more wiggling, pushing and a bit of hammering to get the screw holes to line up again. The small screwdrivers and the long screws made putting it back together a tough ask. Kash and Sevan struggled for more than 20 minutes and the screw heads were still sticking out by a lot. Then, Sevan remembered some ancient, secret wisdom passed down to him by his dad and after that, the screws slid in like a hot knife through butter. Kudos to papa Sevan.

Mr B's partner was amazed that the pair had solved the sticky problem with their bare hands. She'd had a go with a screwdriver too and hadn't gotten any further than the GoodGymers had earlier. Kash and Sevan moved the mattress and flopped it back down on the bed, leaving Mr B's partner with plenty of bedtime reading to keep her busy and space for the new hospital bed for her husband.

Last night we were back for our second regular visit to the Abbey Centre near Victoria. It was great to be back and see all the busy sessions happening at the centre, from art therapy to AA, community champions to community choir, hot meals for rough sleepers, language classes, support groups and more...the place is a true lifeline for local people.

Our job for the evening was in the beautiful courtyard garden at the back of the building, so after being led through the huge building we grabbed tools and got to work.

The task was to sweep and clear the space, and we wasted no time clearing the leaves from the beautiful climbing tree. The place was obviously home to quite a few pigeons judging by the number of feathers we also picked up!

It didn't take long to get the job done, but it was easy to see the difference.

We'll be back next month for another session at this amazing place!

Next week we're back at St Andrew's youth centre, sign up here
