It was lovely to have Lucy join is from Newcastle for the second time, and she's obviously a big draw as she backmarked the walking group of nine GoodGymmers - thanks, Lucy! That left the Richards as the run group - B leading and G backmarking with much debate about the running route (shortest route won, not sure which is the shortest Richard).

The British Heart Foundation staff were ready and waiting for us with a few tasks lugging stuff around but mainly hanging clothing donations from bags which were taking over a stock room.

Many quality finds were made (with photographic evidence and Frances celebrated her 50th good deed by searching for bare bottoms which turned out to be bear bottoms of kids PJs. Marianne showed she was down with the kids by identifying Bluey on a set of PJs, apparently a very well-thought-of kids' programme - news to us.

Richard B found the do(d)giest item, from which he tried to distance himself, It's Christmas Doggy-Style fancy dress for a small dog.

Chloe didn't know her own strength as a hanger broke apart in her hands (honest!) and Phill, Jason and Lucy rose to the challenge of needing some strong people to move items from downstairs to somewhere else. They even found us again in the warren that is the upper two floors of the store - very impressive.

Alice found the perfect scary tiger top to go with Richard G's bottoms and Ed triumphed in finding the best hat for the end-of-task photo - pink sequins are IN!

With agreement to carry on next week and other tasks needing our attention in the store, we're already looking forward to being out of the cold next week, and enjoying more chat during the run/walk/task/workout afterwards.

And if you'd like to know more about Vote for Pedro Ive done the hard work for you!
