Right, so I couldn't get the lights in because I - 20 Sep 2025 - (6,770 words) - Jaynes Baby Bank
Right, so I couldn't get the lights in because I need to run an extension, so that's a Daniel job.
But I just found a Christmas straw.
Well, I found two, because I've pushed those up now.
So we can get another one there, so I can have a glass cabinet there, and I could probably get...
maybe three there, but I'd need to move some of these little shelves and more of them.
I think it'd be better, it'd be more streamlined.
But I found a Christmas straw.
So, let's have a look, guys.
But I need multiple phones now, I think, because I could be streaming live, couldn't I, on other platforms at the same time.
Just to annoy... that's a lovely mirror there, guys.
Look at that.
Just to annoy the haters, isn't it?
Sherlock was saying, oh, I bet her parents are proud of her last night.
My dad was like, yeah, I tell you what, he said, tell them to pop around, and we can have a cup of tea, and we'll have a chat about it.
Yeah, so a few fancy little chats.
Sherlock, my dad's up for it.
That'd be so funny, that would.
I've got all these little gunky things I found in here, so I'm like, oh, where can I put them, because they'll fly out now.
I think they've got a quid on them, something like that.
This was off.
This is, again, we're still... you remember that lovely donation that we had from the garden centre?
This is the same one.
We've still got some of it, like, we're still finding parts of it popping up everywhere.
So I was going to bring... I started to bring some stuff out from the back, because I thought, oh, I've got room.
And then I filled that cabinet up, because Jan came in and bought some stuff for her collection.
And I thought, well, actually, what I can do here now is fill it up a bit.
But then I thought, well, if I'm pushing that drawer up, I'm going to need to get in that drawer, ain't I?
That's nice, isn't it?
Little things like that.
I think I'll just pop them all out.
I think what I'll do is just get as much as I can out from the drawer, because it'll go...
it's going to go at some point anyway, because it's Christmas and stuff, so it'll fly out.
We have had people back and forth.
What is that?
Oh, it's a skybox, I see.
I'll put it out for you.
You never know what we've got.
See, always ask us his best.
Oh, I love him.
I love him.
I found the drawer that Sammy didn't find, because she loves Christmas.
I don't think Sammy has been in this drawer.
Oh, that little...
They've been in there for ages now.
I think I'll leave the rest in there now.
Oh no, I've got a little gunkhead.
Get the gunkhead out.
And the rest is just bits and bobs.
So I think I'll just close that up.
And then...
Push that back, innit?
Oh, I've got a sore neck.
I've slept awkward on my neck.
Oh, that is part of that tree.
I've already got some of them.
Oh, let's get him out.
Let's get him out, innit?
Oh.
Sold some toys and games today, so that's good, innit?
I think I can get more in there this week.
Probably do a swap around this week as well.
We'd like to swap around and then everybody's...
Checking up on everybody's room then, innit?
I don't know.
Oh, I've got my neck.
It was bad the other day.
I meant to put some tracksam on it this morning.
Lots of people back and forth today, so...
I don't know if it's this busy on a Saturday.
Well, it's not going to be this busy on a Saturday, I don't think, but usually, but...
There's swings and roundabouts between Caerphilly...
and Risca.
We could probably open Risca in the morning.
Oh, Tracy, I did see a message last night, sorry, but then I went to bed and fell asleep.
Yeah, no, you'd have to do all your training first before you can open up the shop.
So you'd have to do your health and safety, your fire.
You'd have to do all of that first.
I can send you the online links for it.
And I can...
You'd have to come in then, and you'd have to do the booklets in front of me...
to make sure they're being done, you know.
Because you've got to do...
I know you've probably already got it with your previous job, but you've still got to do it with ours, the training, the fire, the health and safety, the manual handling.
You still have to do it with us.
So you couldn't just come in and open up a shop.
You've got to do the training.
But I can send you the links so you can start perusaling through it...
then at your own time with the online ones.
And then, obviously, we've got the major booklets that's got to be done.
Which you'd have to do in store.
You couldn't take the booklets home.
You've got to do it in front of somebody, you know, so we know it's done.
It's got to be done on the premises.
Yeah, so I've got a few things to sort out.
I've sorted all of them out now.
If anybody's got a Phillips screwdriver today, it's quite big.
I put my thumb up against it, really.
But my knife wouldn't fit.
I've got nothing to fit in there.
And then I can take those apart and have a job done.
And now I'm just working through the donations that we already had.
So that's my plan today.
Hang on now, because I've got various things on charge here today.
My neck is bad.
I don't want to do a live today with my neck being like this.
Have a look now.
I might have a painkiller kicking around somewhere in my bag.
Or some sort of painkiller.
But I only want, like, a little one.
A major one, like what I got.
You sound a bit funny because you're in a jar.
We figured that out.
I was like, what's wrong with the sound?
So we had a bit of jewellery here.
But it's a bit tangled.
So it might have to go to my parents because they've got the time to untangle it.
They've got the time and the patience to untangle it.
If you want to pop and view the jewellery, Sherlock, with my parents.
They're happy to give you a cup of tea.
Do you know what your parents are up to?
Yep, bang!
Do you know what your daughter is up to?
Yep, bang!
I've got a 500 piece jigsaw.
Should I start counting that?
Let's do this jelly bag instead.
Lots of drama on the P. Louise.
I see P. Louise got a stalker on TikTok as well.
She's got one now.
Probably the same bloody one.
I can't remember what her name is now.
She's got one saying, oh, you're running your empire wrong.
You're doing this, you're doing that.
It's like, oh, mind your bloody business, isn't it?
Go and run your own empire.
Don't know what they are, their little bits.
Remember the jelly bags?
Am I coming across them bits?
I don't know.
I've got a couple of little ballet shoes in.
I've got a couple of little dance shoes in, down here, in various sizes.
They'd only be like a quid.
Oh, actually, I've got a spare phone that I could use.
I have got, it's like a set of two, but I'm going to need two tripods there, and I can't have two blooming Pyrex jugs and two boxes of tampons stored up.
Can I?
We need to be a bit more professional at this, so we're going to do that.
Families are well-trapped with the toys they've had today.
They're like, I said, no, we've got an offer on, five for ten.
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm totally sure.
We've got loads, that's why we do it.
You know, we've got tons, and we'll get more, because of the offers that we're doing, we'll get more.
I mean, we're only September now.
We've got tons of toys.
I see on the website, they've recycled some old news on the website as well.
I'm going to need luck with them, because they
take off and use for evidence, you know.
Evidence against us.
Oh, gosh.
I had a good sleep.
I think I sort of woke up in between the sleep, if I'm honest.
What's that, like a mood tool, is there?
Oh, shorts.
Is it like a mood tool?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe a little peppa pig board, maybe a little sticky.
What's that thing, then?
Where do I want to go with him?
Anything to go with this thing, guys?
Or does it just, like, stick on the bar from water coming down?
I'm open today for donations as well, guys.
If you've got donations, bring them down.
I army it.
Oh, gosh, I take a pain kind of his neck.
Oh, they've started collecting some Lego.
Down here, too ready for Lego.
Lego club in this area.
We need a separate venue now, because it's too much in one shop.
Too much.
What's this thing?
Is there anything to go with that thing, guys?
I don't think there is.
But, yeah, I've told them all now, round it.
Round it up in a...
Round it down, or whatever.
Round it up, I always say, but...
Oh, it's a bit loose, that one.
There we go.
Why don't I try a stall, because I've got another one now.
I don't know what the prices are like over the food festival, I'm being over there.
Last time we went out, we paid £10, and I couldn't swallow it properly.
So, that was a bit messy.
It was nice, but I just couldn't swallow it.
I don't know, we're loaded fries, I think we are.
But they were like, oh, and then we had that one from the caffini cheese, and it wasn't that nice.
Remember?
And it was like £16 or something.
£16 and you could have an old clear pay, or something.
My neck.
Just taking a paracetamol now.
My bag.
I think it's just like a bath thing, you see this?
Not really.
Big octopus.
Stick it on the side of your bar.
Muscle it is.
Well, they've got a muscley neck, but do you know what I mean?
Oh, the pen is running out.
It's been overworked.
I go through loads of these pens, but it's got to be these pens, because the amount I've got to handle it, see, and get it on, and then make sure it's stuck on there properly, and it's smudging it, and it looks a mess.
Oh, whatever Brighton's up front, aren't they?
They've done a nice set.
It's nice and big.
The festival thing.
I thought it would be like a couple of stores, but it's nice, aren't they?
It's lovely out there.
So yes, we're going to put the Christmas lights, those little Christmas lights, around the heart.
I was going to do it today, but then people kept coming in, and I was like, oh no, no, this is a bad idea today.
It's too busy.
It's too busy today to do that.
Oh, I don't like these scissors.
Isn't that caught down there?
I think we need another scissors.
We have the right station room, we guys.
I think there's two important people today, which is great.
We need volunteers in.
Our customers.
Let me check.
Oh yeah, you alright?
It's all half-price guys, but we undertake hard and compact.
That's going to be weird.
No,
mine is shopped on, doesn't it?
There we are.
We're back together.
There's an alarm thing for the door.
If somebody's out here and they're doing a video, volunteers probably wouldn't.
They'd probably just do a video when they're quiet, and do a little one.
But, if we're doing a full live stream, because obviously we get paid by Facebook, so we've got to get these live streams up normally.
Can't keep relying on the heaters to pay our bills, can we?
We have to do it ourselves.
But if we could get a couple more rents paid, and more of our own bills paid, that means that the fundraising in the shop goes to that more people, doesn't it?
I did see that somebody's doing direct debits too, so I'll ask them.
They're a registered CIC, I'll ask them if there's any sort of requirements for that.
See if we're able to do direct debits.
We've got a subscription on Facebook as well, that's £3.49.
We can do it as long as Trinsland isn't alright with it.
We could do a direct debit as well, if you wanted to support us.
I did see it, for one of the food banks I tried here, and they sent the envelopes around the door, and they had a subscription on it, but they wanted like £35 a month.
I have to go, because we had something that was like a routine sort of stuff.
Like this.
Right, what are you doing?
Why are you rooting through stuff?
It's usually a good sign now, but like I said, we'll probably be on a live stream now, most of the day, in one or the other shop, so in the donation center.
Hopefully it's time that we kick in now.
Do some more pricing.
That's cute.
Do some more pricing, I know you're getting it.
It's good, because I'm in the CCTV, because yesterday there was a guy coming in with something, I thought, I'm sure that's but I didn't know he'd come in with it, because I was out by here, talking to you guys, I don't know, and I was walking right down the street with it in his hand,
and I was like, I can't see if that's one of those labels from here, you know, miles away.
And I thought, I can't run after him and say I will pay for that.
I could potentially lose another customer, couldn't you, because he came in, had a look around and went out, but if you upset the customer like that, then obviously you could lose a customer.
But then I thought, CCTV it, and then when I docked he walked in with it.
But I think we've had a similar one, so it is difficult sometimes to know what to do for the best.
Are you alright?
I know, I know.
It was lovely yesterday, it would have been a lovely day for it, wouldn't it?
Well, today we're pouring them.
Oh, I know, I know.
Yeah, because they've done it nice, this is a nice setup as well.
I like this bunny, she's cute.
So I
can't be asking them every day, like we have a pearl one, because you know it would be metal with it.
Yeah, so we're coming in, I think you're thinking, fill your shop, just like made out of mother of pearl.
It's nice when you get unusual things in like that.
Oh yeah, we do here, yeah.
Never know what's coming in the shop.
It's waiting off a bit now.
I've still got quite a bit to do here, so...
I can help you see more of it, get it done in there, it's done there.
I think that was supposed to be a hanger, it's missing a bit, so I bet Dan will be able to fix that somewhere down the line if we get a broken hanger.
See now, most people would throw that out.
But we won't, because
someone could use it, couldn't they?
Somebody could fix it, and then somebody might buy it.
I mean, you don't need to, you could just screw that onto something anyway, make it look nice, but I bet we'll have a broken hanger in there, and Dan will be able to fix that.
New customers out there, they seem nice.
Of course a food dress will bring lots of new people in there.
I'm glad I chose to come down here now.
I need another little basket now, I think.
I'm in the room, can I get a little basket?
I think I filled the little basket that I had, with little toys in.
Look, that's nice, just for somebody's stocking.
You know, for lol, probably because of fortune, aren't it?
For lol, it's actually...
What's this, animal bun matching?
Oh, it's flashcards.
Biff and Chip.
Biff, Chip and Kibber.
I feel warm today.
I hope we're not coming down with something.
I hope we're not getting that awful sore throat everybody's got.
If they did Dan, he'd come in with it, like, and back down and go work again.
I don't know where to start today, I'm like, oh, diving in a box, this box, that box.
Put some washable mat here.
We usually rent those out fifty pound a set.
And we get fifty pound back in cash.
We work hard now.
When you return them, nine out of ten times, the mums, the boram or the families, the borams, keep the fifty you've saved us a fortune.
We know that people have some accidents and you can't get some of them clean.
We know that.
But I might do a nappy library, I'm thinking.
As well.
But I'm not sure, how does that work?
How many do you get from the nappy library?
Do you have to pay a deposit?
You know, like the washable ones, gross facts.
This is a near-cheap little pack.
A near-cheap little pack, this one.
We just sell a tip here, because obviously children will pull it out.
And then they go everywhere.
And then you go put them back in.
I don't want to do that.
I don't know if you can see anything.
I'm not really, I'm working on my lap.
I am, so you're just staring at the kettle.
I'm sorry.
It's because my neck was bad.
It might be because I was sat in this position.
This chair is a bit short.
It sinks down.
It's a vintage leather chair, and it's like probably the angle I'm sat at as well, because I haven't got my knees right under the worktop.
So it might be that I have to sort my space out.
And I could do it like a logo or something, but I can lie in stuff.
There we are.
Okay, so sometimes we haven't got time.
Sometimes we just go crack on and do what we're doing, because we've got so much to do that we haven't got time to keep sitting down.
We've just got to do things on the fly, so to say.
But this is my favourite bit.
This is what I like doing, is going through it.
Right, that needs cleaning, that needs fixing.
What can we rescue?
Oh, no, no, no.
But, we're at the point now where I need to be off doing lamp forms and stuff, or maybe...
The thing is, I need Dan over at the donation center really, and going around fixing stuff.
So, if somebody's got a problem in their shop, they can say, oh, Dan, this is leaking, or this or that.
And you can just nip over and do it.
So, I need to free him up, but I need to free up as well now.
So, you've got to go through these things, because this has got hair in it.
Very often these boxes are games and stuff.
Oh, I see, it's magnetic there.
Oh, let's see what we've got.
I think it's all going to be there,
because it might not all be there.
There's like eyelashes and bits of strands of hair in the box.
So, we want to clean that out for the next person to use.
We don't want to give them a dirty box, do we?
It's awful when you open it up and it's not clean inside.
This is part of the job.
Let me put this bum on there.
That's what I did when we were knocking.
I put this bum on there.
Right, so I've got an elephant.
Right.
Do I have anything else to do with this elephant?
What's that?
It's going to be a snake.
Oh, I think it's going to be a snake.
Oh, I think I have cards to match it.
Obviously, I'm not going to do it right.
So, we'll have a look now.
We've got the elephant.
Well, that might be the bottom of his belly by the look of it now.
Let's see if we can get the elephant.
And then I can take the cards that we haven't got and write what's there and what isn't there.
There we are.
This is his belly.
So, now we're looking for legs.
I don't see any legs for my elephant.
No elephant legs, guys.
Neither.
There's an alarm on that door, I think.
And then when people come in, they can hear them.
They can leap when they walk through it.
Oh, I have one leg.
Look, I found one leg.
I've got part of the tree now.
This is what we mean about bringing stuff in.
It's like half check it before you bring it.
I guess it's legs.
I don't even know if you can see it.
I think you can see.
It's on his arms now.
I've got his arms and legs the wrong way, I think.
I know.
I think I've got his arms and legs the wrong way.
I've turned them all over.
Oh, I don't see one arm missing now after all of that.
Finding the zebra, then going along.
And then somebody else on the website was complaining that they'd had a fine for fly-tipping.
Well, don't fly-tip.
Especially outside my unit.
Don't fly-tip.
Don't fly-tip outside the shops.
You can't be complaining about it if you fly-tip.
There's an obvious answer to it, isn't there?
Don't fly-tip in the beginning.
I'm not feeling hopeful with the elephant guys.
I don't think we've gone in.
No elephant.
There's no point you shifting the narrative onto me saying, oh, well, I got fine for fly-tipping because she...
You know, you got fine for fly-tipping because you fly-tipped.
Let's do... I think I got quite a bit of the Zem.
I'm not convinced I got him now.
You can't whine at me because you're in trouble for fly-tipping.
Simple answer in there, guys.
Don't fly-tip.
That looks right.
But I don't know about his head.
What do you think?
I think he's missing a neck bit.
And I've only got two legs.
But do you see how much time this has taken so far for me to sort this in all year?
All the bits in all year, you
know.
He has a longer neck than I anticipated.
And they were like, oh, well, she's a disabled person, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
No, we haven't got that one either, I guess.
She's a disabled person, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Well, somebody's picking up carers allowance for her then.
So it's your responsibility to make sure
that when you get rid of their rubbish, they're just done correctly.
You know?
Some people, they just, you know, they're so entitled to some people, aren't they?
Somebody must be picking up carers allowance somewhere for the lady.
If she hasn't fly-tipped herself.
And you've organised it.
So therefore, you're responsible for the fly-tipping.
Well, that looks like his belly.
And that's his legs.
And that's his front leg.
So finally, finally, we've got one giraffe.
You know, you would have been fined for fly-tipping if another company had found it outside their...
because they would have reported it anyway.
So...
And you knew it was there.
The thing is, you knew it was there.
So you could have gone and picked it up instead of slagging me off online.
And I'm going to go with me online.
You could have gone and said, oh, I'm going to have to go and pick this up because I don't think that's part of the snake.
I think that's going to be part of something else.
You could have gone and picked it up.
And removed it.
Couldn't you?
But you chose not to.
You chose to stay online and bitch about me online.
On a malicious website.
I don't think that's right.
Could be another one.
I've got a similar one, I think, to this.
So this is going to be something else, I think.
Oh, is that him?
That could well be the snake, couldn't it?
Those three pieces.
I think that's the snake.
What's this picture?
I think we've got the snake.
So we've got the snake and the giraffe.
What's this other one?
Oh, it's a croc, we've got a couple of different ones.
We've got a croc as well, guys.
Well, what's that one often?
That's part of the snake.
That's part of the snake because he's got a funny...
Fingers crossed.
Another full one, guys.
It's a lovely little set, isn't it?
I'm having a wee bit of a time with it.
Oh no, don't say we're missing an arm.
I think we are missing an arm, you know, guys.
I'll check the box.
The big box is coming, but I think this is definitely missing pieces.
Right.
A dinosaur.
I don't think we've got all of this.
It's quite big.
That's his tail.
That's his head.
And this is something to do with the neck.
You can see how much time this has taken that when you put it just binded
or offered it out online for free and said this part's missing, do you want it?
Rather than bring it to us as you live.
Let's get this Tyrannosaurus rex up.
I don't think we've got him either.
I don't think you can use other bits.
I don't...
I think we've got the option to use other bits.
Now he has only got one arm, I think, showing.
Oh, and it's on the picture.
One arm.
And maybe one leg.
So he's no good either.
Does anybody want the little bits of magnets to do something with, craft wise?
Because some of these, it will definitely have to go in the bin.
Because we don't have it.
Like I don't have the monkey's head.
I can see that now.
And I don't have all the lion, I don't have all the cheetah.
Have I got all of the tree?
I might have all of the tree.
I don't know.
I think that will suffice for the tree.
But the rest is just bits.
And it's not going to... it's disappointing enough.
It's a lovely little set.
We'll do a head.
I can put the heads in.
That one is complete, so I can put them in.
So we've just got the heads of it.
But there's no point putting the body part because we haven't got it.
And the cards could go in there.
Because they can be stuck on there.
You know, just to try and recycle it.
Did we have all of the zebra?
I can't remember.
No, we didn't have his tail with it.
So we could use the heads I suppose.
Have we got any heads there now?
And we had all of the snake but I don't think we had all of the zebra.
I can't remember if we had all of the zebra.
I'm just doing my fingers.
I don't think we've got his tail.
But he's pretty okay, so I think we'll just put him in.
We'll just put him in.
We've got the giraffe, we've got the tree and we've got the snake.
So there's not much.
I'd rather somebody have that to play with.
And then we've got the cheetah's head.
I think you're missing a definitely no bit sugar.
So I write it on the box.
We don't have that one, we don't have that one.
Did we have the giraffe?
Yes.
We didn't have that one.
Haven't got that one, haven't got that one.
We didn't get the tail.
Didn't have that one, we've got that one and we haven't got that one.
So it's quite a fail because it was ten.
Put him up for three, is it?
We've still recycled it the best we can.
we'll put it up for three.
Three to a customer.
So if they're buying something else they can just take it.
Write three on the box as well.
There's no ATP says, it's three.
Well, it's more than three but it's pretty full set.
They might want to look at it and say, oh look at it.
And then I could bag those little magnetic things that somebody might use on their craft, they don't know, but I can't see us doing much of that.
Yesterday was a bit of a full start, you know.
That's the trouble.
Everybody was like, oh the seller's back.
I've got my tablet checked.
I think it's on quiet because people obviously don't want to get in the way.
Or they're going to go over there first perhaps.
It's a shame they've set it up lovely over there.
There are a few people back and forth.
Juba Jabba.
A little doll.
Who's this one guys?
I don't know who that one is.
It could be that we put the clothes in the
in the washing bag, couldn't it?
Like I said, it could do with somebody brushing their hair and stuff.
What's the time guys?
How are we doing on time here?
12.11.
Anyone have some food?
Oh I think I left them, they came off a bit.
I think I might have rolled them around.
Oh he's a bit harder this one.
Bit harder.
I'm trying to do more interactive lives than this guys.
You know, it's a bit of a quick let's get them up and see what we can do off the lives and see how we go.
Some of them are quite energetic when they do the lives and stuff and they're not feeling it today because of my neck.
It's better though.
I need one paracetamol out of it.
Don't have too many paracetamols.
Some seed.
Bit harder this one.
Maybe I'll pick the next bit.
Bit stodgy.
That one I had yesterday was lovely.
I don't know what we're doing tomorrow.
I haven't got a plan for tomorrow yet.
I have to go into Pontypool.
There was a mum that needed a bit of help but I shan't confirmed.
There's some stuff.
Stuff from our attic.
Might be a bit of a mess.
People might have gone to do their food shopping on a Saturday first and then they'll go over to our favourite.
The rain is putting people off.
Lovely jam.
Lovely jam.
Pricey as I go along I think.
Some people might be like, oh god they're live.
She just sits there pricey and eating jam on bread.
Well...
I get paid for it.
The more interactive we do stuff the better obviously for us.
But at least the algorithm is picking up that we're on a live stream.
I know people are so obsessed with me.
I'm the most stoked woman in Britain.
Just somebody said to me yesterday are you talking to yourself?
I said no.
I said I'm on a live stream.
It's when I argue with myself a good look out.
It would be nice if we could have the shops on live stream all day so you could see what's going on like, can you?
But then it's mostly on the volunteers while we've got these idiots watching everybody's moves.
Reporting to the left, right and centre for staff, you know.
If you're on any type of benefit you are allowed to volunteer for your own mental health.
I think it's between three and four days they say.
Unless you arrange more with your coordinator.
If you wanted to do like five days a week because it keeps you busy, then go in and see your job centre coordinator or your benefits coordinator and explain to them.
Or you might want to do different hours, like just come in like nine till twelve.
But do five days instead of three, you know.
It's the hours that they say.
But if you arrange it with your coordinator what we've told our volunteers to do while this is going on, and they all know what's going on with these idiots online reporting everybody, is just tell them.
Just tell them where your volunteer are and they can write that into your diary, your UC or your whatever it is now, I don't know.
Just tell them you're volunteering first, they know what's going on.
You don't have to worry about it.
Because as long as it's been agreed.
And Starmer wants people volunteering.
The other morning people sat me out on Facebook all day doing bugger all.
Watching Jeremy Cai, remember Jeremy Cai?
I don't know what daytime television is on now.
I used to like The Desperate Housewives in New York or wherever it was.
I like Bethany Francon.
And Ramona, remember Ramona?
She's crazy isn't she?
It's all been quiet lately hasn't it?
Since the CCTV have been sent over to the police.
All the messages a bit quiet now and then.
Probably on bloody bail now they are.
You don't like what we're doing?
Mind your own business.
Go and support somebody else.
Move over you, giving stuff away for free and then the other groups are like oh pay for this trip, pay for that trip.
Pay for this raffle, pay for that raffle.
On my own, you're doing stuff for free.
Don't give me those carpet things now because I want to get them undone.
Do you remember this plastic bit?
What did it release?
No, it looks like a metal thing all the way through.
Like a metal rod.
And washers with it.
I suppose it's designed for the carpet shop.
For people to flip through.
It's got to be quite robust haven't it?
Yeah, I saw a couple of those yesterday.
They're just enough in there sometimes.
So I just put by the door.
Like, I've got to put a mat out this time of year for my cats.
Because I haven't trained them to wipe their feet.
So I put out a long mat and then by the time they come in there, their pores are dry.
That's it for everybody with the rain.
But never mind, we've had some good customers first thing anyway.
I mean we might get some more now anyway.
I suppose it's lunch time.
Everybody's a bit peckish now.
So if they're going to go to the food festival, they're going to go now, aren't they?
They've just done their shopping.
Let's nip over the food festival and get something.
Let me know what the prices are guys.
I'm not going to go over there because I'll have to buy one of everything.
I don't know if that's scrubby or not.
I don't know.
I can't tell if it's scrubby.
I think I'm just going to put it in the wash.
I looked at it yesterday and I was like, is it scrubby?
I've got a little nurse's box.
My nurse's box, you know.
Oh, I've got the bits.
We might have the bits now.
I've got a barbie scooter.
I've got a troll.
I've got more little horses.
More bits to go with this.
I've got some of those gibber jabber cars.
I don't know what they're supposed to be in.
These knives.
Look at them for a T.Y.
What is this?
What is it?
Species of food is that?
I'm checking one for one mark for the other one so I can find these little toy things.
Oh, I've got a Sonic and Tails.
I might put them together.
Sonic and Tails do.
I've got one arrow.
One cowboy and Indian arrow.
Oh, I've got both.
I think I chucked that off the shelf yesterday.
I didn't find any of it that's why I closed that one.
That's a nice little one, isn't it?
I think I've only got three items.
Yeah, there's a Stethoscope the one yesterday.
I haven't got the calf.
I haven't seen that one anywhere.
That's OK though.
Only my bite for a quid, isn't it?
A nice little box for a kid.
So again, I'd go through that.
A lot of people would just bin these.
I don't think we have all that.
All that.
All that.
All that.
All that.
Well, we've got two other things.
There's not actually on there.
Three items.
Let me just write three items.
Three items.
I'll just write straight down here.
One pound, please.
Can't go wrong, can we?
They might have other stuff in the house anyway.
It's a nice little bag.
Just have a look at the labels if you're in risk of shop in particular because this is where a lot of this bits and bobs have come.
So if there's bits and bobs, I've written it on there.
I mean, if you're buying other stuff and rounding it up, chances are you probably won't pay for it either, will you?
You know, if it comes to £5.50 and we round it up sort of thing, you wouldn't pay for it anyway.
But it's being recycled.
Reused, isn't it?
More than recycled.
Reused is the term we're looking for.
So yeah, when my prices are pricing stuff, price them a bit lower, please, because we're going to get more in.
So I want to keep a good flow
because mums are looking.
They are looking for Christmas and a beautiful jigsaw in that case.
I don't know if you've seen it.
Three piece private jigsaw it went straight away this morning.
It had three different ones in it.
It was like layered, so you have to do one layer, then the other layer, wooden.
It went for £5 this morning.
It's lovely.
I've just done that one.
Bring it up.
A bit of a pocket bag.
I'm using some of the hooks by here now.
As I come in, so if you see something, you say, what can I do for that?
It wouldn't either be a yay or a nay, guys.
You know, it's probably going to be a yay because we need stuff gone.
But I do have room for more china items.
So if we get a china donation.
I've got to be honest, my right ear is full.
And I don't know.
I
hope I don't get more danas.
Maybe you don't want what you had.
That was dreadful.
I have one arrow, guys.
Well, I'll keep him out a bit, because we might have more than one and he's a bit bent.
Might be a freebie, this one.
Might have another one in the box.
Stick him on in there.
But all of this would have gone to a tip somewhere.
I'm sorry you can't see what I'm doing because I'm sort of doing it with my neck or my lap.
It's like when they put their laugh emojis over stuff.
You get hatred.
And then I go onto their profiles here and I put laugh emoji.
Let me just poke it in that box.
Right, so what do we have in here?
So yeah, our lives might seem boring to you, but our live videos, but the thing is we get paid for doing them, so it's a no-brainer for us.
We usually go back to there today.
We don't get too late night to night.
Oh, hopefully they've got the part now for Daniel's handle of his car.
Because it's an older version, he's always wanted one of them, but because it's an older version of the car, we've had trouble getting the part.
So fingers crossed we can get that sorted this week.
Oh, hang on.
Somebody's trying to open it.
I'll have to take you off.
But I just found a Christmas straw.
Well, I found two, because I've pushed those up now.
So we can get another one there, so I can have a glass cabinet there, and I could probably get...
maybe three there, but I'd need to move some of these little shelves and more of them.
I think it'd be better, it'd be more streamlined.
But I found a Christmas straw.
So, let's have a look, guys.
But I need multiple phones now, I think, because I could be streaming live, couldn't I, on other platforms at the same time.
Just to annoy... that's a lovely mirror there, guys.
Look at that.
Just to annoy the haters, isn't it?
Sherlock was saying, oh, I bet her parents are proud of her last night.
My dad was like, yeah, I tell you what, he said, tell them to pop around, and we can have a cup of tea, and we'll have a chat about it.
Yeah, so a few fancy little chats.
Sherlock, my dad's up for it.
That'd be so funny, that would.
I've got all these little gunky things I found in here, so I'm like, oh, where can I put them, because they'll fly out now.
I think they've got a quid on them, something like that.
This was off.
This is, again, we're still... you remember that lovely donation that we had from the garden centre?
This is the same one.
We've still got some of it, like, we're still finding parts of it popping up everywhere.
So I was going to bring... I started to bring some stuff out from the back, because I thought, oh, I've got room.
And then I filled that cabinet up, because Jan came in and bought some stuff for her collection.
And I thought, well, actually, what I can do here now is fill it up a bit.
But then I thought, well, if I'm pushing that drawer up, I'm going to need to get in that drawer, ain't I?
That's nice, isn't it?
Little things like that.
I think I'll just pop them all out.
I think what I'll do is just get as much as I can out from the drawer, because it'll go...
it's going to go at some point anyway, because it's Christmas and stuff, so it'll fly out.
We have had people back and forth.
What is that?
Oh, it's a skybox, I see.
I'll put it out for you.
You never know what we've got.
See, always ask us his best.
Oh, I love him.
I love him.
I found the drawer that Sammy didn't find, because she loves Christmas.
I don't think Sammy has been in this drawer.
Oh, that little...
They've been in there for ages now.
I think I'll leave the rest in there now.
Oh no, I've got a little gunkhead.
Get the gunkhead out.
And the rest is just bits and bobs.
So I think I'll just close that up.
And then...
Push that back, innit?
Oh, I've got a sore neck.
I've slept awkward on my neck.
Oh, that is part of that tree.
I've already got some of them.
Oh, let's get him out.
Let's get him out, innit?
Oh.
Sold some toys and games today, so that's good, innit?
I think I can get more in there this week.
Probably do a swap around this week as well.
We'd like to swap around and then everybody's...
Checking up on everybody's room then, innit?
I don't know.
Oh, I've got my neck.
It was bad the other day.
I meant to put some tracksam on it this morning.
Lots of people back and forth today, so...
I don't know if it's this busy on a Saturday.
Well, it's not going to be this busy on a Saturday, I don't think, but usually, but...
There's swings and roundabouts between Caerphilly...
and Risca.
We could probably open Risca in the morning.
Oh, Tracy, I did see a message last night, sorry, but then I went to bed and fell asleep.
Yeah, no, you'd have to do all your training first before you can open up the shop.
So you'd have to do your health and safety, your fire.
You'd have to do all of that first.
I can send you the online links for it.
And I can...
You'd have to come in then, and you'd have to do the booklets in front of me...
to make sure they're being done, you know.
Because you've got to do...
I know you've probably already got it with your previous job, but you've still got to do it with ours, the training, the fire, the health and safety, the manual handling.
You still have to do it with us.
So you couldn't just come in and open up a shop.
You've got to do the training.
But I can send you the links so you can start perusaling through it...
then at your own time with the online ones.
And then, obviously, we've got the major booklets that's got to be done.
Which you'd have to do in store.
You couldn't take the booklets home.
You've got to do it in front of somebody, you know, so we know it's done.
It's got to be done on the premises.
Yeah, so I've got a few things to sort out.
I've sorted all of them out now.
If anybody's got a Phillips screwdriver today, it's quite big.
I put my thumb up against it, really.
But my knife wouldn't fit.
I've got nothing to fit in there.
And then I can take those apart and have a job done.
And now I'm just working through the donations that we already had.
So that's my plan today.
Hang on now, because I've got various things on charge here today.
My neck is bad.
I don't want to do a live today with my neck being like this.
Have a look now.
I might have a painkiller kicking around somewhere in my bag.
Or some sort of painkiller.
But I only want, like, a little one.
A major one, like what I got.
You sound a bit funny because you're in a jar.
We figured that out.
I was like, what's wrong with the sound?
So we had a bit of jewellery here.
But it's a bit tangled.
So it might have to go to my parents because they've got the time to untangle it.
They've got the time and the patience to untangle it.
If you want to pop and view the jewellery, Sherlock, with my parents.
They're happy to give you a cup of tea.
Do you know what your parents are up to?
Yep, bang!
Do you know what your daughter is up to?
Yep, bang!
I've got a 500 piece jigsaw.
Should I start counting that?
Let's do this jelly bag instead.
Lots of drama on the P. Louise.
I see P. Louise got a stalker on TikTok as well.
She's got one now.
Probably the same bloody one.
I can't remember what her name is now.
She's got one saying, oh, you're running your empire wrong.
You're doing this, you're doing that.
It's like, oh, mind your bloody business, isn't it?
Go and run your own empire.
Don't know what they are, their little bits.
Remember the jelly bags?
Am I coming across them bits?
I don't know.
I've got a couple of little ballet shoes in.
I've got a couple of little dance shoes in, down here, in various sizes.
They'd only be like a quid.
Oh, actually, I've got a spare phone that I could use.
I have got, it's like a set of two, but I'm going to need two tripods there, and I can't have two blooming Pyrex jugs and two boxes of tampons stored up.
Can I?
We need to be a bit more professional at this, so we're going to do that.
Families are well-trapped with the toys they've had today.
They're like, I said, no, we've got an offer on, five for ten.
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm totally sure.
We've got loads, that's why we do it.
You know, we've got tons, and we'll get more, because of the offers that we're doing, we'll get more.
I mean, we're only September now.
We've got tons of toys.
I see on the website, they've recycled some old news on the website as well.
I'm going to need luck with them, because they
take off and use for evidence, you know.
Evidence against us.
Oh, gosh.
I had a good sleep.
I think I sort of woke up in between the sleep, if I'm honest.
What's that, like a mood tool, is there?
Oh, shorts.
Is it like a mood tool?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe a little peppa pig board, maybe a little sticky.
What's that thing, then?
Where do I want to go with him?
Anything to go with this thing, guys?
Or does it just, like, stick on the bar from water coming down?
I'm open today for donations as well, guys.
If you've got donations, bring them down.
I army it.
Oh, gosh, I take a pain kind of his neck.
Oh, they've started collecting some Lego.
Down here, too ready for Lego.
Lego club in this area.
We need a separate venue now, because it's too much in one shop.
Too much.
What's this thing?
Is there anything to go with that thing, guys?
I don't think there is.
But, yeah, I've told them all now, round it.
Round it up in a...
Round it down, or whatever.
Round it up, I always say, but...
Oh, it's a bit loose, that one.
There we go.
Why don't I try a stall, because I've got another one now.
I don't know what the prices are like over the food festival, I'm being over there.
Last time we went out, we paid £10, and I couldn't swallow it properly.
So, that was a bit messy.
It was nice, but I just couldn't swallow it.
I don't know, we're loaded fries, I think we are.
But they were like, oh, and then we had that one from the caffini cheese, and it wasn't that nice.
Remember?
And it was like £16 or something.
£16 and you could have an old clear pay, or something.
My neck.
Just taking a paracetamol now.
My bag.
I think it's just like a bath thing, you see this?
Not really.
Big octopus.
Stick it on the side of your bar.
Muscle it is.
Well, they've got a muscley neck, but do you know what I mean?
Oh, the pen is running out.
It's been overworked.
I go through loads of these pens, but it's got to be these pens, because the amount I've got to handle it, see, and get it on, and then make sure it's stuck on there properly, and it's smudging it, and it looks a mess.
Oh, whatever Brighton's up front, aren't they?
They've done a nice set.
It's nice and big.
The festival thing.
I thought it would be like a couple of stores, but it's nice, aren't they?
It's lovely out there.
So yes, we're going to put the Christmas lights, those little Christmas lights, around the heart.
I was going to do it today, but then people kept coming in, and I was like, oh no, no, this is a bad idea today.
It's too busy.
It's too busy today to do that.
Oh, I don't like these scissors.
Isn't that caught down there?
I think we need another scissors.
We have the right station room, we guys.
I think there's two important people today, which is great.
We need volunteers in.
Our customers.
Let me check.
Oh yeah, you alright?
It's all half-price guys, but we undertake hard and compact.
That's going to be weird.
No,
mine is shopped on, doesn't it?
There we are.
We're back together.
There's an alarm thing for the door.
If somebody's out here and they're doing a video, volunteers probably wouldn't.
They'd probably just do a video when they're quiet, and do a little one.
But, if we're doing a full live stream, because obviously we get paid by Facebook, so we've got to get these live streams up normally.
Can't keep relying on the heaters to pay our bills, can we?
We have to do it ourselves.
But if we could get a couple more rents paid, and more of our own bills paid, that means that the fundraising in the shop goes to that more people, doesn't it?
I did see that somebody's doing direct debits too, so I'll ask them.
They're a registered CIC, I'll ask them if there's any sort of requirements for that.
See if we're able to do direct debits.
We've got a subscription on Facebook as well, that's £3.49.
We can do it as long as Trinsland isn't alright with it.
We could do a direct debit as well, if you wanted to support us.
I did see it, for one of the food banks I tried here, and they sent the envelopes around the door, and they had a subscription on it, but they wanted like £35 a month.
I have to go, because we had something that was like a routine sort of stuff.
Like this.
Right, what are you doing?
Why are you rooting through stuff?
It's usually a good sign now, but like I said, we'll probably be on a live stream now, most of the day, in one or the other shop, so in the donation center.
Hopefully it's time that we kick in now.
Do some more pricing.
That's cute.
Do some more pricing, I know you're getting it.
It's good, because I'm in the CCTV, because yesterday there was a guy coming in with something, I thought, I'm sure that's but I didn't know he'd come in with it, because I was out by here, talking to you guys, I don't know, and I was walking right down the street with it in his hand,
and I was like, I can't see if that's one of those labels from here, you know, miles away.
And I thought, I can't run after him and say I will pay for that.
I could potentially lose another customer, couldn't you, because he came in, had a look around and went out, but if you upset the customer like that, then obviously you could lose a customer.
But then I thought, CCTV it, and then when I docked he walked in with it.
But I think we've had a similar one, so it is difficult sometimes to know what to do for the best.
Are you alright?
I know, I know.
It was lovely yesterday, it would have been a lovely day for it, wouldn't it?
Well, today we're pouring them.
Oh, I know, I know.
Yeah, because they've done it nice, this is a nice setup as well.
I like this bunny, she's cute.
So I
can't be asking them every day, like we have a pearl one, because you know it would be metal with it.
Yeah, so we're coming in, I think you're thinking, fill your shop, just like made out of mother of pearl.
It's nice when you get unusual things in like that.
Oh yeah, we do here, yeah.
Never know what's coming in the shop.
It's waiting off a bit now.
I've still got quite a bit to do here, so...
I can help you see more of it, get it done in there, it's done there.
I think that was supposed to be a hanger, it's missing a bit, so I bet Dan will be able to fix that somewhere down the line if we get a broken hanger.
See now, most people would throw that out.
But we won't, because
someone could use it, couldn't they?
Somebody could fix it, and then somebody might buy it.
I mean, you don't need to, you could just screw that onto something anyway, make it look nice, but I bet we'll have a broken hanger in there, and Dan will be able to fix that.
New customers out there, they seem nice.
Of course a food dress will bring lots of new people in there.
I'm glad I chose to come down here now.
I need another little basket now, I think.
I'm in the room, can I get a little basket?
I think I filled the little basket that I had, with little toys in.
Look, that's nice, just for somebody's stocking.
You know, for lol, probably because of fortune, aren't it?
For lol, it's actually...
What's this, animal bun matching?
Oh, it's flashcards.
Biff and Chip.
Biff, Chip and Kibber.
I feel warm today.
I hope we're not coming down with something.
I hope we're not getting that awful sore throat everybody's got.
If they did Dan, he'd come in with it, like, and back down and go work again.
I don't know where to start today, I'm like, oh, diving in a box, this box, that box.
Put some washable mat here.
We usually rent those out fifty pound a set.
And we get fifty pound back in cash.
We work hard now.
When you return them, nine out of ten times, the mums, the boram or the families, the borams, keep the fifty you've saved us a fortune.
We know that people have some accidents and you can't get some of them clean.
We know that.
But I might do a nappy library, I'm thinking.
As well.
But I'm not sure, how does that work?
How many do you get from the nappy library?
Do you have to pay a deposit?
You know, like the washable ones, gross facts.
This is a near-cheap little pack.
A near-cheap little pack, this one.
We just sell a tip here, because obviously children will pull it out.
And then they go everywhere.
And then you go put them back in.
I don't want to do that.
I don't know if you can see anything.
I'm not really, I'm working on my lap.
I am, so you're just staring at the kettle.
I'm sorry.
It's because my neck was bad.
It might be because I was sat in this position.
This chair is a bit short.
It sinks down.
It's a vintage leather chair, and it's like probably the angle I'm sat at as well, because I haven't got my knees right under the worktop.
So it might be that I have to sort my space out.
And I could do it like a logo or something, but I can lie in stuff.
There we are.
Okay, so sometimes we haven't got time.
Sometimes we just go crack on and do what we're doing, because we've got so much to do that we haven't got time to keep sitting down.
We've just got to do things on the fly, so to say.
But this is my favourite bit.
This is what I like doing, is going through it.
Right, that needs cleaning, that needs fixing.
What can we rescue?
Oh, no, no, no.
But, we're at the point now where I need to be off doing lamp forms and stuff, or maybe...
The thing is, I need Dan over at the donation center really, and going around fixing stuff.
So, if somebody's got a problem in their shop, they can say, oh, Dan, this is leaking, or this or that.
And you can just nip over and do it.
So, I need to free him up, but I need to free up as well now.
So, you've got to go through these things, because this has got hair in it.
Very often these boxes are games and stuff.
Oh, I see, it's magnetic there.
Oh, let's see what we've got.
I think it's all going to be there,
because it might not all be there.
There's like eyelashes and bits of strands of hair in the box.
So, we want to clean that out for the next person to use.
We don't want to give them a dirty box, do we?
It's awful when you open it up and it's not clean inside.
This is part of the job.
Let me put this bum on there.
That's what I did when we were knocking.
I put this bum on there.
Right, so I've got an elephant.
Right.
Do I have anything else to do with this elephant?
What's that?
It's going to be a snake.
Oh, I think it's going to be a snake.
Oh, I think I have cards to match it.
Obviously, I'm not going to do it right.
So, we'll have a look now.
We've got the elephant.
Well, that might be the bottom of his belly by the look of it now.
Let's see if we can get the elephant.
And then I can take the cards that we haven't got and write what's there and what isn't there.
There we are.
This is his belly.
So, now we're looking for legs.
I don't see any legs for my elephant.
No elephant legs, guys.
Neither.
There's an alarm on that door, I think.
And then when people come in, they can hear them.
They can leap when they walk through it.
Oh, I have one leg.
Look, I found one leg.
I've got part of the tree now.
This is what we mean about bringing stuff in.
It's like half check it before you bring it.
I guess it's legs.
I don't even know if you can see it.
I think you can see.
It's on his arms now.
I've got his arms and legs the wrong way, I think.
I know.
I think I've got his arms and legs the wrong way.
I've turned them all over.
Oh, I don't see one arm missing now after all of that.
Finding the zebra, then going along.
And then somebody else on the website was complaining that they'd had a fine for fly-tipping.
Well, don't fly-tip.
Especially outside my unit.
Don't fly-tip.
Don't fly-tip outside the shops.
You can't be complaining about it if you fly-tip.
There's an obvious answer to it, isn't there?
Don't fly-tip in the beginning.
I'm not feeling hopeful with the elephant guys.
I don't think we've gone in.
No elephant.
There's no point you shifting the narrative onto me saying, oh, well, I got fine for fly-tipping because she...
You know, you got fine for fly-tipping because you fly-tipped.
Let's do... I think I got quite a bit of the Zem.
I'm not convinced I got him now.
You can't whine at me because you're in trouble for fly-tipping.
Simple answer in there, guys.
Don't fly-tip.
That looks right.
But I don't know about his head.
What do you think?
I think he's missing a neck bit.
And I've only got two legs.
But do you see how much time this has taken so far for me to sort this in all year?
All the bits in all year, you
know.
He has a longer neck than I anticipated.
And they were like, oh, well, she's a disabled person, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
No, we haven't got that one either, I guess.
She's a disabled person, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Well, somebody's picking up carers allowance for her then.
So it's your responsibility to make sure
that when you get rid of their rubbish, they're just done correctly.
You know?
Some people, they just, you know, they're so entitled to some people, aren't they?
Somebody must be picking up carers allowance somewhere for the lady.
If she hasn't fly-tipped herself.
And you've organised it.
So therefore, you're responsible for the fly-tipping.
Well, that looks like his belly.
And that's his legs.
And that's his front leg.
So finally, finally, we've got one giraffe.
You know, you would have been fined for fly-tipping if another company had found it outside their...
because they would have reported it anyway.
So...
And you knew it was there.
The thing is, you knew it was there.
So you could have gone and picked it up instead of slagging me off online.
And I'm going to go with me online.
You could have gone and said, oh, I'm going to have to go and pick this up because I don't think that's part of the snake.
I think that's going to be part of something else.
You could have gone and picked it up.
And removed it.
Couldn't you?
But you chose not to.
You chose to stay online and bitch about me online.
On a malicious website.
I don't think that's right.
Could be another one.
I've got a similar one, I think, to this.
So this is going to be something else, I think.
Oh, is that him?
That could well be the snake, couldn't it?
Those three pieces.
I think that's the snake.
What's this picture?
I think we've got the snake.
So we've got the snake and the giraffe.
What's this other one?
Oh, it's a croc, we've got a couple of different ones.
We've got a croc as well, guys.
Well, what's that one often?
That's part of the snake.
That's part of the snake because he's got a funny...
Fingers crossed.
Another full one, guys.
It's a lovely little set, isn't it?
I'm having a wee bit of a time with it.
Oh no, don't say we're missing an arm.
I think we are missing an arm, you know, guys.
I'll check the box.
The big box is coming, but I think this is definitely missing pieces.
Right.
A dinosaur.
I don't think we've got all of this.
It's quite big.
That's his tail.
That's his head.
And this is something to do with the neck.
You can see how much time this has taken that when you put it just binded
or offered it out online for free and said this part's missing, do you want it?
Rather than bring it to us as you live.
Let's get this Tyrannosaurus rex up.
I don't think we've got him either.
I don't think you can use other bits.
I don't...
I think we've got the option to use other bits.
Now he has only got one arm, I think, showing.
Oh, and it's on the picture.
One arm.
And maybe one leg.
So he's no good either.
Does anybody want the little bits of magnets to do something with, craft wise?
Because some of these, it will definitely have to go in the bin.
Because we don't have it.
Like I don't have the monkey's head.
I can see that now.
And I don't have all the lion, I don't have all the cheetah.
Have I got all of the tree?
I might have all of the tree.
I don't know.
I think that will suffice for the tree.
But the rest is just bits.
And it's not going to... it's disappointing enough.
It's a lovely little set.
We'll do a head.
I can put the heads in.
That one is complete, so I can put them in.
So we've just got the heads of it.
But there's no point putting the body part because we haven't got it.
And the cards could go in there.
Because they can be stuck on there.
You know, just to try and recycle it.
Did we have all of the zebra?
I can't remember.
No, we didn't have his tail with it.
So we could use the heads I suppose.
Have we got any heads there now?
And we had all of the snake but I don't think we had all of the zebra.
I can't remember if we had all of the zebra.
I'm just doing my fingers.
I don't think we've got his tail.
But he's pretty okay, so I think we'll just put him in.
We'll just put him in.
We've got the giraffe, we've got the tree and we've got the snake.
So there's not much.
I'd rather somebody have that to play with.
And then we've got the cheetah's head.
I think you're missing a definitely no bit sugar.
So I write it on the box.
We don't have that one, we don't have that one.
Did we have the giraffe?
Yes.
We didn't have that one.
Haven't got that one, haven't got that one.
We didn't get the tail.
Didn't have that one, we've got that one and we haven't got that one.
So it's quite a fail because it was ten.
Put him up for three, is it?
We've still recycled it the best we can.
we'll put it up for three.
Three to a customer.
So if they're buying something else they can just take it.
Write three on the box as well.
There's no ATP says, it's three.
Well, it's more than three but it's pretty full set.
They might want to look at it and say, oh look at it.
And then I could bag those little magnetic things that somebody might use on their craft, they don't know, but I can't see us doing much of that.
Yesterday was a bit of a full start, you know.
That's the trouble.
Everybody was like, oh the seller's back.
I've got my tablet checked.
I think it's on quiet because people obviously don't want to get in the way.
Or they're going to go over there first perhaps.
It's a shame they've set it up lovely over there.
There are a few people back and forth.
Juba Jabba.
A little doll.
Who's this one guys?
I don't know who that one is.
It could be that we put the clothes in the
in the washing bag, couldn't it?
Like I said, it could do with somebody brushing their hair and stuff.
What's the time guys?
How are we doing on time here?
12.11.
Anyone have some food?
Oh I think I left them, they came off a bit.
I think I might have rolled them around.
Oh he's a bit harder this one.
Bit harder.
I'm trying to do more interactive lives than this guys.
You know, it's a bit of a quick let's get them up and see what we can do off the lives and see how we go.
Some of them are quite energetic when they do the lives and stuff and they're not feeling it today because of my neck.
It's better though.
I need one paracetamol out of it.
Don't have too many paracetamols.
Some seed.
Bit harder this one.
Maybe I'll pick the next bit.
Bit stodgy.
That one I had yesterday was lovely.
I don't know what we're doing tomorrow.
I haven't got a plan for tomorrow yet.
I have to go into Pontypool.
There was a mum that needed a bit of help but I shan't confirmed.
There's some stuff.
Stuff from our attic.
Might be a bit of a mess.
People might have gone to do their food shopping on a Saturday first and then they'll go over to our favourite.
The rain is putting people off.
Lovely jam.
Lovely jam.
Pricey as I go along I think.
Some people might be like, oh god they're live.
She just sits there pricey and eating jam on bread.
Well...
I get paid for it.
The more interactive we do stuff the better obviously for us.
But at least the algorithm is picking up that we're on a live stream.
I know people are so obsessed with me.
I'm the most stoked woman in Britain.
Just somebody said to me yesterday are you talking to yourself?
I said no.
I said I'm on a live stream.
It's when I argue with myself a good look out.
It would be nice if we could have the shops on live stream all day so you could see what's going on like, can you?
But then it's mostly on the volunteers while we've got these idiots watching everybody's moves.
Reporting to the left, right and centre for staff, you know.
If you're on any type of benefit you are allowed to volunteer for your own mental health.
I think it's between three and four days they say.
Unless you arrange more with your coordinator.
If you wanted to do like five days a week because it keeps you busy, then go in and see your job centre coordinator or your benefits coordinator and explain to them.
Or you might want to do different hours, like just come in like nine till twelve.
But do five days instead of three, you know.
It's the hours that they say.
But if you arrange it with your coordinator what we've told our volunteers to do while this is going on, and they all know what's going on with these idiots online reporting everybody, is just tell them.
Just tell them where your volunteer are and they can write that into your diary, your UC or your whatever it is now, I don't know.
Just tell them you're volunteering first, they know what's going on.
You don't have to worry about it.
Because as long as it's been agreed.
And Starmer wants people volunteering.
The other morning people sat me out on Facebook all day doing bugger all.
Watching Jeremy Cai, remember Jeremy Cai?
I don't know what daytime television is on now.
I used to like The Desperate Housewives in New York or wherever it was.
I like Bethany Francon.
And Ramona, remember Ramona?
She's crazy isn't she?
It's all been quiet lately hasn't it?
Since the CCTV have been sent over to the police.
All the messages a bit quiet now and then.
Probably on bloody bail now they are.
You don't like what we're doing?
Mind your own business.
Go and support somebody else.
Move over you, giving stuff away for free and then the other groups are like oh pay for this trip, pay for that trip.
Pay for this raffle, pay for that raffle.
On my own, you're doing stuff for free.
Don't give me those carpet things now because I want to get them undone.
Do you remember this plastic bit?
What did it release?
No, it looks like a metal thing all the way through.
Like a metal rod.
And washers with it.
I suppose it's designed for the carpet shop.
For people to flip through.
It's got to be quite robust haven't it?
Yeah, I saw a couple of those yesterday.
They're just enough in there sometimes.
So I just put by the door.
Like, I've got to put a mat out this time of year for my cats.
Because I haven't trained them to wipe their feet.
So I put out a long mat and then by the time they come in there, their pores are dry.
That's it for everybody with the rain.
But never mind, we've had some good customers first thing anyway.
I mean we might get some more now anyway.
I suppose it's lunch time.
Everybody's a bit peckish now.
So if they're going to go to the food festival, they're going to go now, aren't they?
They've just done their shopping.
Let's nip over the food festival and get something.
Let me know what the prices are guys.
I'm not going to go over there because I'll have to buy one of everything.
I don't know if that's scrubby or not.
I don't know.
I can't tell if it's scrubby.
I think I'm just going to put it in the wash.
I looked at it yesterday and I was like, is it scrubby?
I've got a little nurse's box.
My nurse's box, you know.
Oh, I've got the bits.
We might have the bits now.
I've got a barbie scooter.
I've got a troll.
I've got more little horses.
More bits to go with this.
I've got some of those gibber jabber cars.
I don't know what they're supposed to be in.
These knives.
Look at them for a T.Y.
What is this?
What is it?
Species of food is that?
I'm checking one for one mark for the other one so I can find these little toy things.
Oh, I've got a Sonic and Tails.
I might put them together.
Sonic and Tails do.
I've got one arrow.
One cowboy and Indian arrow.
Oh, I've got both.
I think I chucked that off the shelf yesterday.
I didn't find any of it that's why I closed that one.
That's a nice little one, isn't it?
I think I've only got three items.
Yeah, there's a Stethoscope the one yesterday.
I haven't got the calf.
I haven't seen that one anywhere.
That's OK though.
Only my bite for a quid, isn't it?
A nice little box for a kid.
So again, I'd go through that.
A lot of people would just bin these.
I don't think we have all that.
All that.
All that.
All that.
All that.
Well, we've got two other things.
There's not actually on there.
Three items.
Let me just write three items.
Three items.
I'll just write straight down here.
One pound, please.
Can't go wrong, can we?
They might have other stuff in the house anyway.
It's a nice little bag.
Just have a look at the labels if you're in risk of shop in particular because this is where a lot of this bits and bobs have come.
So if there's bits and bobs, I've written it on there.
I mean, if you're buying other stuff and rounding it up, chances are you probably won't pay for it either, will you?
You know, if it comes to £5.50 and we round it up sort of thing, you wouldn't pay for it anyway.
But it's being recycled.
Reused, isn't it?
More than recycled.
Reused is the term we're looking for.
So yeah, when my prices are pricing stuff, price them a bit lower, please, because we're going to get more in.
So I want to keep a good flow
because mums are looking.
They are looking for Christmas and a beautiful jigsaw in that case.
I don't know if you've seen it.
Three piece private jigsaw it went straight away this morning.
It had three different ones in it.
It was like layered, so you have to do one layer, then the other layer, wooden.
It went for £5 this morning.
It's lovely.
I've just done that one.
Bring it up.
A bit of a pocket bag.
I'm using some of the hooks by here now.
As I come in, so if you see something, you say, what can I do for that?
It wouldn't either be a yay or a nay, guys.
You know, it's probably going to be a yay because we need stuff gone.
But I do have room for more china items.
So if we get a china donation.
I've got to be honest, my right ear is full.
And I don't know.
I
hope I don't get more danas.
Maybe you don't want what you had.
That was dreadful.
I have one arrow, guys.
Well, I'll keep him out a bit, because we might have more than one and he's a bit bent.
Might be a freebie, this one.
Might have another one in the box.
Stick him on in there.
But all of this would have gone to a tip somewhere.
I'm sorry you can't see what I'm doing because I'm sort of doing it with my neck or my lap.
It's like when they put their laugh emojis over stuff.
You get hatred.
And then I go onto their profiles here and I put laugh emoji.
Let me just poke it in that box.
Right, so what do we have in here?
So yeah, our lives might seem boring to you, but our live videos, but the thing is we get paid for doing them, so it's a no-brainer for us.
We usually go back to there today.
We don't get too late night to night.
Oh, hopefully they've got the part now for Daniel's handle of his car.
Because it's an older version, he's always wanted one of them, but because it's an older version of the car, we've had trouble getting the part.
So fingers crossed we can get that sorted this week.
Oh, hang on.
Somebody's trying to open it.
I'll have to take you off.
