Anne and Gosia visited Ms R to help her out in moving a table and chairs 🪑🪑. We both thought Oh, that should be nice and easy one 🍰 to end the January challenge with. Well one could say we couldn't be more wrong 😆.

We arrived around 17:10 and used a buzzer at the door. Ms R welcomed us warmly and let us know that the table is located in the room just ahead of us 👀.

When we entered the room we quickly realised that the furniture move is not really a true essence of this task 🕵‍♀️🕵‍♀️. What caught our attention was a massive pile of rubbish 🗑 and "things" lying all over the floor with chairs located at the top and a table completely buried just at the very bottom ⚰️.

Ms R explained that the fire inspection crew let her know that currently it's not safe in her house, as there was an another table and a chest of drawers standing too close to the garden doors and making it not possible to leave in case of an emergency 🔥. There was an entire chain ⛓️ reaction situation there which led us to a conclusion that we need to move most of the stuff away to be able to do "anything" with this problem.

We exchanged meaningful looks with Anne and knew what's coming our way 💣.

We started small, shyly suggesting to bin some things, in time the choice started to get easier 🙊🙈🙉. We designated bags or boxed were we put a certain category of things e.g. medicine 💊, clothes 👕, toys 🧸, letters/docs ✉️ for further selection. With the rest - we were picking all up and quickly filling bin bags, one after another; getting rid of incl. old food, sanitary pads, tissues, old newspapers. This way we spent around 1.5h.

When we finally made space, only then we proceeded to the furniture move. We kept struggling along the way because of the remaning clutter but - as it also turned out - some of them were glued to the floor with ... puddles of spilled honey 🍯🫣. Slowly but with a determination we placed tables and chairs in their designated places.

Ms R was then able to open door to her garden 👩‍🌾. She showed us a shed where we eventually placed one of the tables, recycling bin, bags with clothes and few other things. This actually helped us a lot in making more space in her living room.

Ms R seemed to be very happy with the outcome, kept saying that She can believe it!. Well we couldn't either 😆😆😆.
