After a puzzling start trying to crack the 'child lock' on the detergent box, with an extra pair of hands we were soon working through the list of 'little' jobs.

Whilst waiting for the laundry to finish, there was time for a full walkthrough/brief for the newbie, then we were on our way.

Volunteer numbers were down today so a quick stop to do the vacuuming which well received and it was a great excuse to get a bit of extra exercise in this chilly weather.

The Community Fridge distribution team were just finishing up when I arrived to start on the cleanup and we got caught in the filming for the upcoming fundraising efforts - fortunately I had remembered my GG t-shirt for once!

After that I got stuck into the laundry and vacuumingl, only realising after 30 mins the washing machine hadn't started. Thankfully on a short cycle it was still possible to get this done in the allocated time. Mainly thanks to the early birds Peter and Jay who had already done a fair bit of the other cleaning jobs.
