Hi guys, I'm on the night shift but I don't know if I have a suitable stand because what I want to do is do some pricing but this is stuff now that's currently going into storage because we don't have room in the shops.
Where are you going?
I've got a light as well on the situation scene.
Right, so this is a tarot map.
Somebody gave me a tarot map, not a velvet one.
I might have a tarot card by you know.
Actually, everything is a bit dusty at the moment because it's all storage stuff.
Past life!
I can't get it out of the box.
I think this is the one I had with a tiny tiny book I was telling you about the other day.
So get the box gone is it guys?
The box is doing my nut in.
Oh, I think it's damaged.
This is damaged one.
Right, okay, well we got galactic and spiritual religion.
That's all we can get out of it because of the state of it and farm.
I'll have to have a look what they are after.
I think that's a bin.
This has come from a donation from another charity shop.
I can't name them because of the haters.
Do you know what I mean?
Haters are like you know ringing my dentist to complain about stuff.
Do you know what I mean?
They're just obsessed.
Do you know what they're like?
So what I'm gonna try and do.
This is a bit junky over there because that's all my stuff.
Price up this stuff now but primarily it's gonna be going back into storage because we've got nowhere to put it.
So I'm gonna try and price it so you can see it and if you want it, request it and buy it tonight.
Tabby, I'm gonna try and remember your jigsaw in the morning.
Okay?
Only Pontypool open in the morning.
But what I might do because half of you are in bed.
Bear with me because I've had to put my Wotsit glasses on because the ice strain is killing me now.
The amount of time we're doing stuff online and whatnot.
It's killing me.
So what I'm gonna do is put a film on.
But did I find a charger for that phone?
Look at this chaos as usual guys.
Oh no, that's the Samsung that one in there.
It's an old Samsung.
That's my backup.
Backup, backup.
Right so I've only got 34% on there but this one's on... Where's my Netflix?
Just like to thank my son.
He pays for the Netflix.
Troll 2.
Oh I don't think it's on yet.
Mr. Mercedes.
What was that about then?
Is that about the Mercedes car?
What did I watch the other night?
Oh the Donald Trump.
Watched the Donald Trump one.
I might put that one back on because the trouble is I fall asleep in the middle of watching Broadchurch.
What are you watching guys?
I watch everything on my phone and I've got time to put the telly on right?
Bank of Dave 2.
I thought I hadn't watched it but I had because it's got Def Leppard in it and I'm a Def Leppard fan.
What are you guys up?
But I did like the Donald Trump one but I fell asleep.
So what's the Donald Trump one called?
Anybody remember?
So I might be able to get these right?
The Apprentice.
That's what it's called.
The Apprentice guys.
Right.
My son plays for Netflix.
Thank you for that.
I'm going to stick that also.
Bear with me because I'm going to have this playing in the background and possibly chatting to you as well.
You on the night shift as well you Sammy?
Is it too loud?
Otherwise I'll be waffling on about these dickhead other charities or half the night.
F now and A.
F now.
So these are going to be going into storage right?
But I'd probably still be able to access them for 48 hours.
So if you're not seeing the live till... what is this?
Bits of stuff.
Can you pull something back Princess?
Oh did I get a permanent pen?
Yes I have the best pen.
Look at this one I found.
It's an art liner.
Put him in the best pen box.
So this is what I got for writing on things for when I write on my signs to put in Cathay A Street to annoy that woman that keeps making the complaints about it.
And I think too that I can say that in my years of public life I welcome this kind of examination.
So yes I am I'm gonna be pricing these up.
So if there's something you see on here now.
I'm putting... I was putting the 31st of February down but I think that was a long shot.
Let me turn this down a bit.
It's too loud for me.
I never actually sit and watch a film and I'm going back on watching bits of like Game of Thrones now and things and I'm like I totally missed that.
Now I understand the context.
So I think we usually do a couple of months in advance that we try and ring-fence it don't we?
To give it a chance to sell.
So I'll do the 30th of the 1st 26.
By the time these get out I mean I got stuff in the donation centre that says June 2024 on it.
Ring-fence.
So that's slippers and a thingamajig.
They're trying to give us stuff that we use.
Like they're giving...
I got a pile of booty stuff as well but it's vintage.
So I don't know whether to use it in giveaway or well anyway I put that on there now because I've got to draw the line somewhere haven't I?
So I put it up for 350 guys.
Anything you fancy let me know and obviously we'll do your deals.
These are nice smile.
Sparkle and shine.
They are second-hand so they might have bits of damage on them.
I've watched all of this and then fell asleep.
I always do that.
So I'll put that up for there.
So right by the thing and then I'm going to put him up two quid.
Offers accepted if they've got a bit of damage on them.
So that code there because that got reported to trading standards.
This code they reported that to trading standards and the police and the Pope and the Ghostbusters.
Right?
They want to know what the codes was on everything.
And we said well that's when this ring-fence before volunteers can take it.
For their allowance.
Not that there's anything to do with anybody else.
Stupid me.
This one looks better but this is the trouble with things like this is when they get in storage that's when they get broke see.
We had all these stickers gifted to us.
I got about five hundred.
Well more than five hundred.
Probably five hundred on a reel.
I got five hundred reels.
They're huge.
So thank you so much.
They're not as good as the pound shop ones.
They were mega sticky.
They were mega sticky.
But this is why we need to start live streaming on Kik because Kik actually are willing to pay us.
Right?
To live stream.
So I could be paid now between fifteen to twenty five pound an hour as an influencer.
To be pricing these things.
I mean that's a lot of nappies when you work that out isn't it?
Excuse me.
That's a lot of nappies when you work out how many that is and how many families we can help.
So you know this is why we need to get signed up for Kik as well because I could be live streaming this and being paid now for pricing.
Not that I take the money because I don't need any wages I get and anything I get from influencing.
Back into the nappies.
Booty bank items.
Giveaways for the mums.
I was sent this from a candle I bought as well.
So this is some... I think they're like just seeds.
Wild seeds.
So we just chucked them in one of our allotment gardens.
What do we have here?
I'm trying to clean it all.
These are like sterile wipes.
These are not sterile but do you know what I mean?
Like kitchen.
They've got like a handy way of putting them on the back something or other.
Sometimes you need something small like this.
I've had a nap.
I've had a nana nap.
I'm very well after yet again.
Never right after you eat food.
So it could be that we stop live streaming on the facebook and do it on the...
to subscribe to us on facebook.
If we lock the facebook down and subscribe it's £3.50 a month.
That's what we've set it at.
So it's a bit like Ladbibo when you subscribe to them and you get special content.
You get access points.
So what we might do with that is if you subscribe you can still use the £3.50 that month in the shop to pick something up.
So you never actually lose out do you?
You know because you can pick up something with £3.50 the next time you come in.
You never lose out.
We don't want you to lose out.
Ah, this is missing a back.
So unless we find the back
this would be free.
So like having a loaf of bread.
So you guys are there with...
So like having a loaf of bread with free slices out of it if you're missing a back.
So hop it over there.
Like we like this is what we say now there's no hate and no shade right to like we're missing a pen right.
No hate no shade we're missing a pen.
So we'll free it until we get a pen.
Any one of those magnetic pens will work on that and I may well have one kicking around you.
But this would otherwise go in the bin with other charity shops because that's what they've been trained and told to do.
We work now my hands will get dirty my nails will get dirty.
We've got three of you online is there?
I got three of you online but what I've noticed is sometimes the haters come up in the top corner.
Don't know how that works for the algorithm I don't know.
I'm watching Donald Trump the apprentice the documentary type film of him not documentary.
I'll turn it down a bit more but I could have something in the back.
So that looks okay to me or maybe a little bit more but I don't think it's I don't think it needs a full wash I think a
little bit.
350 on the minion.
We'll do your deal anyway guys you know that.
So we stick it on there that gives the volunteers a guide where to go from.
They know that the value of that is somewhere around 350.
What do they need to know?
Oh we've got a nice little pepper pig cushion.
Hey that'd be nice.
It's got a thick one you know for a kid that's nice I think we'll do him 350 because we've got 10s.
So excuse the language on the film but obviously I'm past the watershed anyway.
Like I said this is why we need volunteers you know because we just can't keep on top of it.
Now I would be if I wasn't doing this I would be doing some other crazy stuff anyway so don't worry about me this is what I chose to do tonight.
It's two quid on in.
I think two quid a good price.
Looks okay looks new.
It's got a tag.
I've got 1952 ones on there.
On a date ring fenced.
What's this?
A big stick.
What's a ninja turtle stick?
We could put this in the boy man cupboard.
What do you think?
Because it is is it original turtle you see.
We could put that in the boy man cupboard couldn't we?
Or we could give a kid it anyway.
I think we'll just put 350 on it.
Because number one we've got to try and fit it in the cupboard so we'll just get rid of that.
350 we usually see 350 as a ball point thing because that's the pack of the price I can get a pack of nappies for see guys.
So you know that's why I justify it.
If I can get a pack of nappies for everything we sell.
Not everything goes to a pack of nappies.
Some of it goes to rent.
Some of it goes on electric.
Some of it goes on refuse collection.
I'm going to be crunching because I got ice.
And I got pica disorder.
If you've got any type of blood disorder right and you start craving crazy shit right like ice cold stuff like that.
This is why pregnant women crave it because they sometimes they get blood disorders and deficiencies while being pregnant.
Then that's a good sign if you start eating crazy stuff like that or craving it.
But actually because you've got a blood disorder or problem with your blood and you know it looks complete to me.
I like to check everything.
It's hard sometimes to get it all checked.
You know it's a big job.
But we don't want people buying stuff coming to us in good faith and buying stuff and supporting us and then going home and they you know we've only got two eddie fans and a donut and no trunks.
That'd be disappointing wouldn't it?
Sat on my heated blanket.
Getting a cat.
My cousin being down.
She's gonna be living here while I set a tape it up to stop people from pulling it open and the kids because kids will pull them open and start playing a game in the middle of the shop.
And we're like no we need to put away 350 on this one and I'll write what we do so the other staff know is we write complete so nobody needs so they know unless our seal is broke that we've put on there they know is complete.
So 350 don't forget we'd be doing deals guys because you know I'm out of room this looks like a bit you so I think we put a pound on this guys they might be able to salvage it put a pound on him okay oh I think I'm going to do a 50p or a three actually I'm going to do a three because he's a bit broke on the end so he's he's free if anybody wants him let me know don't forget you need to collect Okay,
got a mask on a mask.
That one I think is, I think I put the 200 dollars, 2 quid because we've got absolute tons.
So this one is a bit more flimsy anyway.
But obviously the volunteers are told to keep an eye.
So if we put that up for and it looks like a reseller is buying it, you know, because you can resell shirts, you can resell jeans, you can resell quite a few things.
You don't need to be buying kids toys to resell.
Kids are the paramount, aren't they?
Children are the paramount.
That's what we do.
So if they spot a reseller buying this to sell online for 8.50 like the Pokemon guy did, right, then obviously they will intervene and say, no, you're not having it.
We can refuse to sell something to people.
If you refuse as a charity shop or a shop, the Jean Vincent box set.
What the hell is Jean Vincent?
What the hell is Jean?
He's got his own box set!
Look at him!
Wow!
I might have to Google him.
Google him!
He is!
Jean Vincent.
So we check every single one.
They're in brilliant condition.
This is what my mother does.
She cleans them all.
She tries to put them in new, you know, undamaged cases.
Well, that's absolutely lovely, isn't it?
That's lovely as he signed it.
We check for a signature because that will bump the value up.
Welcome to the team, Jean.
Yes, so if they... you can take something off sale, but you have to take...
so Tesco's could take... remember when Tesco's put the tellies up for a penny?
And they weren't supposed to be a penny.
They were supposed to be something like a hundred pound or a thousand pound or something.
I don't know.
Remember they had loads of them and people were trying to buy them?
They can take them off sale, but they have to be taken off sale for 24 hours and re-priced by law.
I don't know what to put on him.
Try 15.
Try 15 on Jean.
I'll take a bit less if you're on the live and you're looking.
That's what I should write.
Complete.
Complete.
And I'm gonna write new.
Vintage.
I don't know who he is.
Anyway, we'll put 15 on him.
I'm sure we'll get something.
That's a nice set.
I don't know if you like Jean.
Jeannie?
I don't know.
Maybe I got it wrong.
What is this?
I have no idea what it is.
What is it?
John letters?
What is it?
I have absolutely no idea.
What are they?
You don't put your feet in them.
What the hell?
That's the top.
What the hell are they?
I have no idea what they are, guys.
I don't know if it's supposed to be a pay.
I got X and a 1.
They can't be for feet.
Unless they're for a horse.
Do you think they're for a horse?
Oh, they're gonna have to go on the Google.
Do you want to take your pony for a walk with his little socks on?
I don't know.
If they've got floorpaps it's for a horse.
I'm gonna have to Google where they are.
What's this?
Oh, a little postcard that's a bit wrecked.
I might use that for one of my 10% off days.
More like a whiz.
Anything.
We've got another minion, but he's a bit minion.
He's going for the wash.
He's marked wash.
No wash on him.
I don't think.
I don't know what's that.
I don't know.
I don't know where's my glasses because I've got these funny kind of lenses on.
Fatiguing lenses.
Designed for people with new road drivers.
Here they are.
I've got a couple of different colours because I've got them in my prescription.
They're very good.
I used to struggle to read with my dyslexia and other problems that I've got.
And it took me forever to read a book.
And now, put these glasses on.
I'm like Johnny Five.
Remember Johnny Five?
The robot.
I used to say to the girls, I've been up all night reading nursing textbooks.
They were like, how can you read a nursing textbook?
I was like, my magic glasses.
I wonder if them dickheads will leave us alone now, guys.
Do you think they'll leave us alone?
How are we fucking... Well, the thing is,
I've got bigger things to worry about at the moment.
They could be being arrested in the morning.
They might already be arrested.
They were quiet earlier.
I know they'd said anything.
Put 350 on the bay.
So we ring-fenced it from a low and so that it's fair because, you know, some people make some sarky comments about charity shops and things and they say, I bet they get pick other stuff.
No, they don't get... I was don't.
They might do it the other way.
They don't in our shop.
They have to wait.
Stuff is ring-fenced.
Stuff is ring-fenced.
Like all the Christmas stuff was ring-fenced because I knew we'd make quite a bit of money off it.
So everything was ring-fenced.
Try and do everything freely and transparently.
Don't we, guys?
And then it's free for everybody.
Free for the customer.
I need minions, do I?
I could have an army of minions.
I could.
What's he got now?
He's got a hatch.
The minion has a hatch.
Nothing.
Empty minion.
You know what he wants.
What are you supposed to have?
He needs a bit of
a The other thing is that charity shops are told they have to change their stock.
Oh, I got one of those little clips there.
50p.
I don't know.
50p.
Ikea clip for your bag.
Your bread.
I don't know.
I've got another pencil case.
I don't know how much these are.
These are cheaper type.
A little pound on this one, is there?
Just waiting on me for the minion.
I think we'll get a couple quid for the minion.
What do you reckon?
Why is that?
He's moved up.
Here's him.
This is the best bit.
This is the thing when the head starts.
Right.
So I think we've been played for...
Oh, we've played for some trees.
400 nod trees.
We might get 400 nod trees.
Turn up Sammy.
No, they're not.
They've come to your shop.
We've got a delivery address for them to come to.
So we can plant them.
And we've also ordered fruit bushes.
You could choose fruit bushes as well.
So we'll have some of those for the allotment.
But obviously we've ordered 400 nod.
I think I'm going to put five pound on the minion.
We are trying to price lower.
Daniel seems to be going up.
I don't know what planet he's on.
With the price then.
He put a bread bin up for 10 quid.
I was like, you haven't even written RRP on it.
Like if the bread bin was worth 30 quid, then fair enough.
I could understand it.
But he didn't even write RRP on it.
I think it's too much for that bread bin.
If you find it in Pontypool shop, take it down.
Take it down to about four quid.
Providing it's decent.
Good look at it.
My ice machine is still on.
Do I need more ice?
No, not yet.
Let me turn it off.
Best thing I ever bought.
And somebody put flavoured ice in there.
So they put like dandelion and burdock pop in there.
So they have dandelion and burdock.
It'll go well.
Put him up for...
Everything's got a hat show tonight.
What the?
What the hell?
He's mutated into...
Oh my god, he's got giant legs.
You can't do that to Mr. Strong.
You can't do that to Mr. Strong.
He never had legs.
Put him back in.
I'm gonna put him up for ten because I think he would go for ten because he's collectible.
Easily would go for ten.
I don't know what I was waffling on about then.
Oh yeah, they put dandelion and burdock in their ice maker and they had dandelion and burdock Nice.
Might do that.
I use posh water with the minerals in.
I can never pronounce it in Italian.
It's expensive but it's really rehydrating.
And every time they take my blood lately it's really pumping and they've got to hold my arm up and elevate my arm and I think because I think it's this water because it's got all the minerals in it.
It's not just like mountain mineral water.
It's got 800 minerals in it more than any other water.
Esparguino or something it's called.
Is he clean?
How can he say if he's shooting at Caucasian?
No, gonna need a wash.
You know and the other thing you have to remember guys.
Oh I put my minion light tonight didn't I?
This is stinking.
This might have to go in the sink.
Yeah that's gonna be a sink though.
They don't have washing machines in charge shops.
Sorry everybody has a washing machine.
So where's we do?
We've got one in Caerphilly.
We've got one in Pontypool.
If anybody's got one to do anything with that one.
Under the counter.
Oh I got three of these things.
Do you think it's something to do with like a horse or something?
Anybody know yet?
Because I've got three now.
Now I'm a three-legged horse now.
Booty works.
Should we keep that for the booty giveaway?
Should we?
What is it?
Like a brush cleaning part?
Put that in the booty giveaway stuff is it?
Oh we've got some plate rebands.
Put them in my mother's bag.
I don't know what that is.
So clean that off.
They'll probably quit.
She'll probably do them up.
But where's her bag on?
Oh there it is.
She'll clean them up and put them on a card or something.
She's got more time see.
More time to fiddle.
Hold me as where the peg is.
A little lead holder perhaps or key holder.
Look at that.
Do you see my breath?
See the other cold or the ice perhaps?
Oh can I drink the ice when I go on holiday?
Ford Aventura.
Would it be alright to drink the ice do you think?
This is like some cowboy and Indian thing isn't it?
Put them to one side there might be more.
Put them there because we might be able to do like a halloween bundle.
Oh happy birthday wonderful brother.
Oh and there's no nobody's written on it.
Put them over there a minute.
It might be a rainbow short.
Oh yes there's more halloween that.
So we could make a pack up couldn't we?
Put them over there.
What's this?
Oh there's even more.
I'm bringing tissue.
Where's the rubbish bag gone?
Rat Squad.
Check them I will.
Obviously for cleanliness and see because I've had one first edition.
First published 2000.
So yeah it's a millennium copy.
Be worth something.
Be worth more than the average book.
Claude Monet.
What is this?
A notepad.
Oh that's nice.
£2.50 guys.
What do you think £2.50?
We price a bit higher because we do discounts and offers and deals and it's a good cause.
I don't want a wage off it and right now I don't need a wage and I might not even have a wage for the next couple years.
I don't need it so it's not coming to me is it?
So you know another shop might do that at a pound and we've got it at £2.50 but it's a good cause.
So if you run a charity shop or a house clearance business we're happy to take it in this condition.
My mum.
This one's been open.
Hand gel.
What is it?
Hand sanitiser.
I might use that for cleaning actually.
I'll just leave them as 25p's there.
What's that?
That's pretty.
Thank you ma'am for all the lovely things you do.
Look at that.
I'll put that in my mother's bag.
She won't keep it.
She'll be like rubbish.
Don't mean it.
I'll put that in her bag and then she'll read it.
See they put a pound on that right?
I know we can get more than a quid for that.
Take that off because obviously I think it's a gift aid to some of these details at some time.
I reckon we'd get more for that.
Mel Brooks.
2021.
So it's just a book.
Just a book.
£16.99 you know.
Yes it takes longer.
These are something to do.
Downside there's a few of these.
Something to do with shoes.
You put them shoe dividers or something.
I don't know.
Do they have a pair of shoes on there?
£36.
I think a £36 is a £3 in there because I'm a £37.
Vintage little slippers.
£350 would do them at least.
We usually do shoes at a £5.
I don't mean the shop.
I won't even bother pricing them because we know how much the shoes are.
So when they come out of the bag somebody will say oh yeah the shoes go for £5 and if she's getting rid of them then so this is like some sort of shoe divider but I don't know how many we've got.
So I'll do them at £250.
I don't think it'll work for us.
I was like oh perhaps we'll use them for the shop.
I don't think they will.
I don't think they'll get in our way because we need to ram everything in.
Where's the money?
£350?
Because he is a vintage one.
I've lost my book note.
If you want to sponsor our lives and have a tablecloth printed with your business name on the back.
I think only feet see guys.
I've got it for sure.
Nice to see some gaps in Fonty Pools shop today on the video.
For them now tomorrow.
They won't be there for long.
When we get a box it might sound stupid to you but we write on an empty box because some people will buy boxes so we usually stick them up for a pound but then the volunteers know if it comes if it comes through the till and it's empty.
They know it was an empty box to start off with and nobody's nicked anything out of it.
Just saves a lot of confusion doesn't it?
£250 on this guy's little soap dish like a soap.
I haven't eaten soap yet but I'm a little bit obsessed with soap and I've got to smell it and I could bite it.
I could have got egg on the soap dish.
Perhaps I had it in the kitchen and I could potentially eat the soap.
That's part of the pica disorder that you get when you have a blood disorder but I have never actually eaten soap but I come close to it.
But I know it's soap you know so I wouldn't eat it because I know it's soap but that's what pica disorder does to you if you eat weird things or you crave weird things.
Could be that, I know.
Roy Colmes, that was his lawyer.
He was a bit ruthless wasn't he?
But his lawyer was a bit, this is this Jeffrey, not Jeffrey Epstein.
This is the Donald Trump one I'm watching.
But his lawyer was a bit like um...
Werewolf shoes?
I don't know.
Are they worth a lot of money?
I don't know.
K-1-8s?
I don't know.
They're pretty good.
I don't know where to put them up for 10.
Oh let's say five.
Get them going.
I tell you what I'll do is I'll put them up for six.
Right?
Because then they won't automatically go straight in.
You can amplify.
But if they go to the shop, the shop won't put them straight in the pound box because they can see we're asking a bit more from.
So I think they're worth more than a quid.
Oh I don't know what size they are.
Oh god.
UK-4.
Never seen them before in my life.
Knitting pattern.
They're usually selling for about a quid.
Something like that.
But I mean you can have it for free if you're on the internet.
Knitting pattern if anybody wants it.
They usually go for about a pound.
You'd be surprised.
But you can have it for free.
Now once these get packed away I ain't going to be able to find them on this live.
Okay?
Because they're going to go in storage.
And I've written free on it now.
We've done a bag Ron!
Sat there watching me and you Ron.
How much did we say about this one the other night?
It's a little bit marked.
Did we say £2.50 on this?
Frank?
Vyshka?
What are you doing Ron?
Don't knock everything over now.
Oh he's sniffing everything now.
He was sniffing if you were on.
Don't usually do it in the house because we've got cats.
This was an impromptu pick up from a new place so we weren't really prepared for this one.
I remember what we said for the bag.
This was the other night so I put £3.50 on it.
Ah did you all notice the amount of Tesco trolleys that were dumped all around Pontypool?
They got £20.30 wasn't there?
That's because the heaters keep reporting me for collecting it.
I thought bugger it won't bother no more.
So now the poor Tesco staff got to do it.
So I put £2 on him.
A little book.
Like a bath book I think.
Check him inside because you don't know it might be grubby.
How much it was.
2013 it's a vintage.
I just put £2 on him for now.
This lawyer that Donald Trump had.
Reminds me a bit like Epstein because he used to record everything at his sex parties and his debauchery and everything that was going on there.
Debauchery as they used to call it.
SNM I think we call it now.
Here we are.
What is this?
Who is this?
I've had two of these.
Who is he?
Who is this rabbit?
Chicky Monster Goop.
Custom merchandise.
Sparky.
Oh he's from Park Dean Resorts.
You go quite well.
Google them.
They are covers for...
I can't read it because there's something on my lens.
Covers for golf clubs not free-legged horses.
Could have gone in your question section.
Remember your question section.
He'll go well because he... people wouldn't... they've changed it over the seasons.
I think we'll put six on him.
Park Dean Collectible.
Usually I'd put him up for more but we've got tons.
Golf clubs.
How much are they for me?
I didn't think golf club covers.
Even your teddies have got to have fire labels because remember the bitches from H.U.T.
I like that.
Yes they're Park Dean.
They go well and the butlins ones do.
And where's the elephant from?
You know the blue elephant?
It's a girl elephant I think.
But they go well in the boat ones.
Teddies are our top sellers.
Area 51.
We're not alone.
Teddies we do... I could just open a teddy store and run this honestly.
I could run the baby bank off a teddy store alone.
And people come to us and they know we've got good teddies.
Oh this might be off some sort of baby... and I got some sort of baby thing over there where you like attach it to a bouncer.
I'll come to one side in a minute.
If not we'll just take them in for free because we might get hundreds of these things in.
I don't know how much these are to buy but we get hundreds of them in.
We'll do £4.50 on him.
We'll go through with who's still up then.
They are a set of £3.20.
Let's put our RP20 on then.
And we'll let them go for £10 is there.
Sometimes when we have something expensive like that that's what we do because people are like £10 for three legged old covers.
Might make sense now why they got one two one one x two three on them.
I don't know.
Do you find as a mum that sometimes this time of night is better to get your jobs done or bits you want to get done because it's nice and quiet.
That's how I've always been in my cloud even when I was a kid.
My dad used to catch me in the garden at four o'clock in the morning on the swing singing.
My mom used to go next.
Well looking back now I could have been we had quite a skilled garden but so I could have been abducted or anything.
So I've always been a little I'll go now to about three or four and then I'll start flagging around there.
I might push through but then about sort of six six to like eight is when I'm like that.
Might have a nana nap around that time and then get back up and do another shift of work.
Not really good in the mornings.
Useless in the mornings.
Right on them golf club covers.
And then I sort of come around then around 12 o'clock and then I'm full steam ahead then and everybody else is starting to flag in work you know in the shop right.
I'm full steam ahead then but in the morning I'm useless.
Oh we might have two of them now.
Some people buy the baby toys for their parrots.
Yeah so it might be that we got it to go like on to kick.
The what's seven pound what are what's seven pound in on bargains the parking ones.
What was seven pound have I overpriced something.
Let me know what it was Claire.
Let me know what was seven pound.
Just in case I'm overpriced.
Do happen.
You know because things you know because places like home bargains they buy you know discontinued stock see don't they.
Two quid the remote thing sometimes we shot my game.
You can have a shot we do.
Fresh and go is up see next door is up for rent next door but um they want you want too much I think you wanted something like 750 the owner for that you're not gonna laugh like me in paying 750 for that and we would even knock it through there and I'll put well I'd have to speak to my landlord put a door there why you'd have to come in go at the back door through their back door into the other side um you know at our expense and we put it back when we go um or
I've always had my eye on the carpet shop at the book McAfee because it's a good one to have.
Google them.
Oh, you've done that.
I've missed a bit now.
Then I've gone down.
I've gone a long way down now.
Oh, the Tommy Teddy music.
Oh, right.
Well, we get loads of those in, don't we?
I don't think we ever do them.
They get a bit worn because it's like something that you handle and it's little.
I think they get quite worn so they usually go cheaper than that.
That's a vintage one.
That's vintage, but we're running out of vintage covers.
You know, because I could sell that online as a vintage item at Fisher Price, but where is this from?
It's like, how much more can we store up?
These are 2010.
How much more can we store up?
Waiting to be sold, isn't it?
You know, two quid on there.
Why don't you put that on to one side?
I've only got one Playgirl sock.
Not the end of the world though.
These will still buy them.
You see, perhaps the... Oh, see them socks.
See, that's nice.
But perhaps, you know, the other charity shops are not allowed to sell them unless they're in pay, you see?
Look at that little sock.
Which is stupidity, isn't it?
It's like this, look.
It's rubbish.
Go in the free box.
You know, we don't mess around.
Go in the free box.
I'm going to be going to St McAllen's, aren't I?
Where has this been?
I keep forgetting where it is.
Oh, we've got a Minecraft, but it might be a McDonald's toy.
But what we could do with the McDonald's toys is we did have a bag somewhere, didn't we?
We were putting them away for ten years.
Because we had... Oh, I've got a roll.
Where is he from?
What did you say?
Playmobil.
Because we had some...
Bike pump.
I need a bit of that.
There's another one done, Ron.
They're nearly sat in the oven watching me now.
I don't know what I was going to get now.
What are they talking about?
Oh, we had the McDonald's toys, right?
And they were ten years, ten, fifteen years old, winning the pools.
And they sold, the set sold for like fifteen or ten pounds.
So that's what we said we might do.
Is put some of the McDonald's, like the Squishmallows, put them away in a box, you know, in the donation centre.
And forget about them for ten years.
And then put them out as a set.
Two pounds on the...
Wait, have I been missing a bit?
I'm not sure if I've been missing a bit.
Let me know, guys.
Keep looking for that bag.
Right, so I've got some Playmobil figures.
I might wait and see if I get any more.
This, I'll put up to £3.50 because the boy men will buy that.
They're the ones that buy the figures.
Get on our nerves.
Oh, we had one on Sunday.
Daniel thought he was drinking.
He had a can, a relentless.
But I said sometimes if people are drinking, they'll put it in a different can.
And he came in and he was like a drip.
He just stood there.
And he could see we were busy.
Because we'd tipped everything out of the bags.
And we said, right, we've tipped it out of the bags.
Let's crack on, let's get it done.
We've got no excuses.
Let's get it done.
Oh, do you think this might be a Playmobili thing?
Bring on the Playmobili thing a minute.
We have got like a pirate kit set.
Oh, tights, marks and sparks.
£5.
Yeah, I've got some sort of pirate thing kicking around up there.
Big thing.
As we find bits.
Oh, and I've got toots.
Oh, if you want any toots.
Oh, now vintage ones.
They go quite well.
We need to have...
And see, this would be ideal in somewhere as big as Ponchicool.
A vintage room.
Wouldn't it?
Because we've still got the...
The other stuff.
Because when we tried to do it at Blackwood it didn't work as well.
But...
There is a problem with Blackwood because Blackwood is failing itself.
It's not just us.
Blackwood is going downhill massively.
Something going on at Blackwood isn't all right.
Is that a remote for something?
It looks like it, doesn't it?
I don't think that's just a toy.
I think that's a remote.
So what we could do is a big, big shop like Pontypool 17 rooms.
And then one of those rooms...
Oh, slippers.
It's all the pink stuff, the slippers.
They'll go well.
We'll put those at 250 or something.
And they'll go well because they're vintage.
Vintage, pretty Polly.
And then let's have one room that's all vintage stuff.
Because we've seen it, they never blame.
We went over to Ragamuffins and had a look.
We had a training day over at Ragamuffins, didn't we?
Probably coming for training to show the staff how we want it set up.
And they had a jean room.
Remember that?
It was all denim and all jeans.
And I love that.
Believe it or not, they will go.
We should really put the vintage stuff online and have a vintage online shop.
It's not enough hours in the day.
So if somebody's interested in things like that you're more than welcome to.
Look, we've got you all not their parcel.
Individually packed.
There's only four in there.
So let's cut that one off.
I'm on types in years, but I've been fancying them.
I've been thinking I like those little woolen dreads.
It's not practical.
We've got a little shop.
Do you like a little...
Ronnie!
You've got a sage stick now.
What are you doing with the sage stick?
You're doing a head cleanse, are you?
Doing a spiritual cleanse for me.
There's only four in there.
But that's all we could do.
It's like separate rooms now.
Yeah, and those little knitted dresses that you wear.
And then tights with them and nice boots.
Would I be freezing cold?
Because I do feel a cold.
And...
dreadful circulation and stuff.
Last year I was shivering all the time.
And...
I've been thinking of nice tights with them.
But it's just not practical for the shop.
I only live my life in the shop.
Don't I?
Put these on for £2.50.
Because they're not as vintage as these.
Vintage stockings.
Or see that little umbrellas on?
See how lovely they are?
They were £3.50 then.
Take that off.
Look them up for £3.50.
But I mean I bet on some vintage shop that sells vintage stuff like this hosiery and vintage make up.
I bet this would go for like...
£10, £15 they would.
She just can't get them see.
We did have a little rack didn't we?
We had all the little pops-ups and all of them.
Buried now that is under something I expect.
The HTC is shitting themselves tonight.
You can't say that she is the daughter, which she keeps banging on of.
Chief of the police or whatever he was, right?
And not know that that was what they did was wrong.
That that Penrose Smyve or whatever her name is has directly, her links with that bus company has directly benefited from a council grant.
And the council were obviously oblivious.
They followed what they had to do.
They told me that.
They followed what they had to do.
And they just assumed that they were given the right the right information.
But they should have had the responsibility to check their mind as well.
But...
You know, she knew that.
I know it.
Oh look at them ones though.
You've got to have like a separate part of the insurance to sell vintage stuff, eh?
See, so your insurance has got to be different.
And a lot of charity shops don't bother.
Because it would be a lot.
So anything that's like ten years and over, they don't stop.
It's ten years old and over.
Bonnie, what have we got now?
We're making a mess.
Stop it!
What are you doing now?
Oh my God, she's chipping stuff everywhere.
Who I had dinner with in February 1958.
And you know, what colour tie they were wearing.
Exactly.
Listen, let me tell you that.
About seven bags.
I don't know how many I've done.
Let's see the end of the room.
Oh look!
I mean, I'd be freezing if I put them on.
Absolutely freezing.
But that's what we need now.
I think going forward in the new year.
That's what we need.
I'm a huge fan of your work.
Thank you.
Trying to copy me.
Because you can see me pulling stuff out of bags.
And chucking it over there once I've done it.
And he's like, I'll do that.
I'll do that.
He's funny.
He's funny.
He'd come right up the bath.
He'd love water.
He'd follow Daniel everywhere with a whole spike when he's watering things.
He loves water.
We rescued him and his brother when they were like, well, the man said that they were eight weeks old.
They weren't eight weeks old.
Their eyes had just opened and I didn't even think she would make it through the night.
And they were in the state.
And he had a partner there and she'd gone off and he worked away as a truck driver and she just left these two kittens there.
And that's... I can't even have a rubbish bag up in my house because the pair of them will rip it open and eat anything.
They'll eat tea bags, anything.
Because they were left without food and taken from their mother too early.
They're dreadful.
They're absolutely dreadful, they are.
For food.
I mean Reggie, he could open a corned beef tin.
We found tins with teeth marks saying that he's perforated.
Reggie.
Because he's just so obsessed with food.
That's all they crave all day is looking for food and water.
Because they got left, you know.
And I got biscuits and I got buckets full of biscuits down from.
You know, because all the cats in the street come in here.
But...
they just can't get... they can't stop.
Do you know what I mean?
They can't stop.
And they've got to watch them because they'll steal the food off the other cats.
These are from Owen and Owen's.
What is that?
Come out to somebody's drawer.
See haven't they?
When somebody's emptying their house.
What are these stockings?
Is this a joke?
We don't have to do it.
Well, legally, Egypt doesn't constitute marital properties in the face of divorce.
But the dissolution of marriage...
You don't need to bullshit me about this people.
I can get...
I guess you're sweet person and I can get you going.
Oh, damn it.
Oh, it's in chocolate in there.
There he is.
I think he had it from at the church actually.
I think he went up to the church.
Got some nice salad from the church.
And I got some onions from last week.
So I think I'll get some wraps.
I'll give you $50,000 like a signing bonus.
Alright, come on.
The wedding is in two days.
$100,000 in my account before the wedding.
$75,000.
$100,000.
Please.
Let's talk about this.
Shall we get a bar to shop in?
Lovely salad.
So I'll get some wraps because I'm into wraps at the moment.
So I'll get some of them.
I'll get some nice spit.
That's a salad in there.
Made the pizza but I put too much on it.
His name sucks.
He's cute.
Where's he from?
Oh, it's...
So I'll get a jog.
We'll put him up.
We'll get quite a bit for him.
Put him up for...
Put him up for $20,000.
Happy to take $10,000 from him off you guys.
Because the boy men will buy him.
I'm thinking of...
I don't know.
I'm thinking of socks.
I can't place that.
Look out.
You've got red feathers on him.
Come on then.
Come on.
You can't sit there.
They're working.
You can't sit there.
You can't.
I'm sorry darling.
You can't.
I'm busy.
I'm busy.
No.
You can't sit there.
I'm sorry Ronnie.
I'm busy.
I'm busy.
Go sippy sippy.
I'm busy.
Who's socks then?
He must be off Sonic the Hedgehog.
But I don't remember him.
Tails I remember.
There's a flag there.
For that pirate ship.
Ronnie I've got room for you darling.
Smelling all the stuff.
You've got one of those red feathers on your nose.
Come here.
We've got a room for you.
We've got toot.
Toot everywhere.
If we want any toot toot.
We've got tonnes of it in Bloomin.
Pontypool.
We've got enough to go right the way around the shop.
We've got 17 rooms now.
You'll never bag a bit.
Pontypool with it three times.
Ronnie I can't.
I'm busy.
I'm sorry.
I'm busy.
Go on.
A little tin.
A little Halloween tin.
I think it's Marks and Starks or somewhere.
Do they have biscuits in it?
I can't get it to come on.
It is coming on.
You might be dying now.
I've got to plug you in guys.
We've had some bad ones.
We had one that was kept under the stairs in a cage.
She'd split up the boy with the brother.
I'd said I'd take the two.
She had injuries when we took her on.
That's the one that got stolen.
She was picked up off the drive.
I'd seen the van come up on the drive.
A girl come out and grab her.
We think she was on training.
She grabbed her and took her.
She's a lovely little kitten.
She's small.
She's a micro cat.
She looks like a kitten all the time.
She was kept under the stairs.
Then she went missing for 10 days.
My heart was broken with that one.
She came back.
It went viral on Facebook.
We got her back.
She was chipped.
They signed the chip over to us.
She'd have got to take her into a vet.
People who nick cats don't take them into vets, do they?
These are our size 8 guys.
350.
I think they're from Liddles.
This is my mom.
She gave me a wet glass.
When your shoes.
Yeah, so that was sad.
Princess and her daughter.
Her daughter passed away.
She'd gone run over.
But she was naughty because she was constantly going under cars and sitting on top of wheel hubs.
As soon as the delivery driver pulled up.
On all my notes, I've got all my accounts everywhere.
We've got cats.
Be careful.
They will go under your car.
They will get in your van.
They're fully aware there's cats when they turn up your van.
We always tell people if they're coming back.
People for the baby bank or whatever.
Her daughter died.
That's how we started.
We had to have a cat put down.
It broke mine and Daniel's heart.
So we said no more.
Again, that one was stolen.
We got him back after 18 months.
I don't know what happened to him.
But he just had an injury overnight.
And he was indoors.
He must have fallen off something I think.
We were none the wiser.
What happened to him?
The vet said he was in a road accident.
Somebody had been out the house.
He said he looks like he's been hit by a car.
I said I don't know what he's done then.
He's jumped off something high and missed or whatever.
So we had to have him put down.
It broke our hearts.
We raised that one from a kitten.
So we went a couple of years without any pets.
Then these two cats came up on Facebook.
They needed to be rehomed.
No fault of their own.
They were quite old.
You could see one of them was older.
One was a bit younger.
Princess and scready cat.
I said we'll take him.
Just out of the blue.
I said we'll take him.
I didn't realise the woman was from Manchester.
I said I'm really sorry.
I didn't realise she was from Manchester.
She didn't realise I didn't realise either.
But she had family in another part of Wales.
But not close to where we are.
So anyway, after about three weeks she said I'd be watching you online.
I don't know if we picked up some rabbits and we'd started picking up some rabbits.
I can't remember.
Or was it the fish?
I can't remember.
We'd started having pets again after a long time.
I don't know what this is.
Story Coons.
250.
And she said after about three weeks she said I'd be watching you online.
She said I can't remember what we were doing.
I don't know if we'd started the baby bank or whatever.
I can't remember.
She said I'd be watching you and I'm going to bring him down to you.
So I said yeah okay.
So I didn't buy anything.
Because I said I don't know if this lady is going to turn up.
She didn't even stay in touch.
She didn't want to stay.
She just wanted to drop him off on the drive.
I asked her in because she didn't even know what our house looked like.
She came in eventually.
It was fish because she asked me.
I just bought my big tanks out of my tax return.
She said have you got any of vives?
Because there was no water in them.
I said they're not vives.
I said they're going to be fish.
That was my new hobby.
They were going to go but they'd had a long drive down from Manchester because it was about 3-4 hours.
I looked on the sat-nav and it said about 3-4 hours and they said they were leaving.
So I said well we won't buy anything but I'd got the money ready and the list ready for Daniels.
Nip over the shop.
Get cat litter.
Cat food.
Just to get us through the first night you know.
And then go from there.
And she did.
She brought them down.
But she literally just dropped them off.
And I was like she didn't even want to know anything about us.
Some people are like that.
Some people don't want to put them in the cage themselves when we rescue.
Some people...
I don't know.
Two pound guys on this one.
Some people don't want to put them in the cage.
Some people want to drop them off.
Some people ask us how they're doing to make sure we haven't sold them on or re-owned them.
Because we rescue quite a few animals you know.
Primarily off the families.
That's how we first started.
We were helping families by rescuing animals they couldn't keep anymore you know.
We're looking to expand that.
Now I... because I then went through a period of illness.
I was rough because they weren't treating me.
I couldn't take on any more pets because it won't fit on Dan because he was doing all the work.
But now I'm a bit better.
We're looking to expand our rescue business as well.
So she dropped them off.
They were from Manchester.
And they've been here ever since.
And they're lovely you know.
They won't leave outside.
I can't like...
I have to get somebody to come to the house to re-chip them because I couldn't take them to the vet because they panic if they were nowhere near me you know.
They've got to be with us all the time and if I... I can't walk from my house to the donation centre because all of our pets will follow us.
I've walked up my aunties before now and when we had a rescue chicken that followed me all the way up there.
Because they're rescues and because some of them have been in bad situations.
They...
They won't let you go.
It's different to having like a pet from just a kitten.
So anyway unfortunately Skadi can't go run over.
We broke our hearts over that.
But there was nothing we could do.
We tried loads of times and we'd pull up and we'd beep the owens and she'd still go straight she'd drive straight on top of the wheel she'd drive over the cars.
As soon as they pulled up we would get it.
But we didn't realise how much we were grieving for our previous cat that we had to put down scruff.
Until we had these two lovely cats.
We were like oh my god and then we said oh let's just rescue them off our families.
Because what tends to happen with our families is social services come in like a star pool and they say we'll take your kids off you if you don't get rid of your pets because they've got eczema or asthma.
And we're like what?
You know, I mean what about the damage that's going to do to the kids that haven't got the pets?
So some we've had and mothers are absolutely heartbroken they've got to do it.
And it's like well we'll take them on then.
And that's how we started.
Same with the rabbits.
You know rabbits are one of the most neglected pets in tweezers but it's not very good.
We're just I don't think tweezers are any good.
It's been overused.
What's this thing?
3D butterfly flower set.
So that's how we started you know.
And then we re-homed a couple of dogs.
But we don't do any dogs.
What we did was re-home the dogs.
Well we've got two 3D gels and one butterfly mould.
Right.
One stand, a stencil.
Oh I think it's like the kit.
I don't think you get a full thing with a 3D maker.
It's just the kit.
Just the kit.
Yeah.
Yeah that's all you get with it.
It's not missing.
But I don't know after the incident that happened in Caerphilly with a dog that attacked a child.
The police officer couldn't get in because of the door and what have you.
We don't redo many dogs.
We used to ask our families would you take the dogs on.
And I mean they've still got the dogs.
But I won't take a risk now with the dogs.
Because I couldn't...
I don't want to be responsible for it.
And our volunteers you know, our volunteers they rescue as well from our families.
And I say to them, guys we've got a snake that needs rescuing.
We've got...
My dad don't like snakes.
I'm OK with snakes.
But my dad's a bit...
He wouldn't come in here then and feed my cats.
I'll check on him if I want to.
I'm not going in there if I've got a snake.
But even our volunteers rescue animals off the families that we got.
So we're looking to expand our rescue again.
Now I'm better at being more treated.
Because like I said, they didn't want to know me and then the pandemic hit.
And...
They didn't want to know anybody in the pandemic today.
So...
Everybody got a bad deal in the pandemic.
So I thought I was never going to recover.
Well I was close to death.
You know, because they were not treating me at all.
Gives you a different perspective on life then doesn't it?
You know.
Why am I turning up doing this than the other for an employer and all the rest of it when I could be self employed?
You know, things like that.
Buying my Saturday waiting to die when I could be helping people.
The way I look at it.
Erm...
So yeah, you know, we do a lot of rest during the animals.
Somebody got a hamster.
Anybody take on another hamster.
Anybody take on a guinea pig.
Erm...
So again, so like if we've got some people, like we'll have all the boy rabbits, some people will have all the girl rabbits the best we can.
We had about 35 rabbits at one point.
I had to slow it down with the rabbits because the weekend that we said we were going to take rescue rabbits or families that can't look after them.
Rabbits are really difficult pets.
Erm... and they're the most erm...
neglected erm... animals in Britain.
Statistically.
I had to slow it down because I had about 10, 15 tuna on one weekend.
I was like rabbits just leaving them everywhere.
I was like hang on now, hang on.
We had to really, really slow it down.
Erm...
So...
I'll put that out there.
Okay.
People can see it then.
Erm...
And it's sad.
People would just take on rabbits and just dump them there.
They're really difficult pets.
We had two rabbits that the council wronged me about and said look, we know you take on rabbits.
Two council workers they were and they said look, they've been kept in a hearing cupboard and the tenants left.
And just left them in an hearing cupboard in cages.
That's like a right, yeah, bring them over.
They were the most aggressive we had.
And they were sisters and they hated each other and they used to fight the other rabbits.
The one was okay.
We got, we were able to deal with the one.
But Emily, we couldn't do anything with Emily.
She was so aggressive.
All the time.
And she'd just attack you and all the rest of it.
And it'd be like, well she's hard work.
She was really hard work.
Don't forget, keep all your little tubs and stuff guys like this because anything would see through because my mother put beads and stuff in there.
Put that in her bag.
So yeah, we started off doing that.
Lorne, are you still busy?
Are you still busy, Lorne?
Are you still got work to do?
Lorne, are you busy?
Are you busy?
Off you go.
And then there was another one, another cat recently that was online.
And she kept coming at Rolo.
No, off, off.
Go sippy, sippy over there.
Sippy, sippy.
And she was like 18, 19.
And I said to Daniel, there's a cat online.
And he said, nope.
And I said she's 18, 19.
I said she's just gonna...
She's a little bag there.
Lots of tan bag.
Nothing on him.
I don't know.
I said she's just gonna get re-owned and re-owned and re-owned now in the later stage of her life.
And I said I can't see it.
Well, when we picked her up, she's a bit like a spring chicken, I've got to be honest.
I was expecting her to be really... She was gonna go to my mother and I was trying to convince my mother to have her.
Because they're quite rural where they live.
And she was like, nope, nope, nope.
And I thought she will.
When she sees her, she'll have her.
But when we picked her up, she was quite lively.
And I took her to my mother's and I said I think she'd be better off with us with the other cats, I said, and the rabbits.
I said I think she'd do well.
You know, I think she'd...
I said I think she'd actually do a lot better.
I've got two of these guys.
There's a pirate team going on here.
Give them a clean.
Nice little bookends.
Come up for £3.50 for you guys like, you know.
Where's the other one?
I think the other one's exactly the same.
I said, actually, I think she'd be better and have more fun and enjoyment with our cats.
And she did.
She's been with us ever since.
Ronnie is still most... I'm busy Ronnie.
A busy look.
He's like, no, I want to sleep on this velvet thing.
My other 14 beds is not good enough.
I want that little velvet thing.
£3.50 for the pig.
What is that?
Where are you going now?
Going past?
Going this way, are you?
Come on then.
Go round the back.
That's right.
Sleep over there.
Probably because I'm on the empty blanket.
What is this thing?
Oh, I think it's some sort of diamond art.
But I don't think there's any diamond art in it.
I think the diamond art has come out.
That's part of this pirate ship.
So it's a diamond art board, but no diamond art.
I don't know.
£2?
Because you can buy the diamond separately, I think.
And you don't really need to follow their pattern.
It's just a way to do it.
I got a couple of these like rolled up that I had off Joom.
And I don't know where to take them on holiday.
Because we never...
I got down the other sports car one a couple of Christmases ago, and I can't remember which one I had.
They're in the drawer over there, I think.
And I bought them to have a go at when they first came out.
And we just haven't had time to do them ever since.
I don't know if I should take them on holiday and do them.
Because that's the only time.
Because we're forced to physically stop doing anything, aren't we?
We'll still be doing stuff.
Right, what's this?
104 kids graphic puzzle.
So...
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76,
77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 104!
These complete tries.
So 250.
I'm going to tape him up now so nothing falls out.
Yeah, so if you volunteer in the shops, this is what you'll be doing.
Checking donations like this.
Or tidying what's already been put out.
Or helping mothers.
Making up bundles to go out, you know, because we do our bundles.
We do a note to 12 bundles for every mother in Wales as long as they can pick up.
We do creme bundles which I drop over to the hospitals because the mums can't come out.
I got a nappy drop that we were doing soon to one of the hospitals with our nappies that we donate in.
Could be checking the dates on the food bank.
You know.
Put the hoover around.
What we tend to do is, we don't do like a massive cleaner other than cobwebs.
What we tend to do is, if you're pulling out the shoe area, we usually drag out the hoover and say, right, hoover it now and then dust down the shelf, right, put it all back and then we move on to a different area and then clean that area when you're in it,
you know.
I am happy to take on a cleaner for the shops and pay you the volunteers, you know, allowance, the £20.
If you wanted to come in and do it on a regular basis, that's fine.
But
that's up to you.
I could do it somebody who got a car that would travel around and do all the shops really.
But that's all I could do.
It was a cleaner that comes in like every three days or something.
And it's like Risca doesn't really need it because it's so little.
You can clean it as you go around whoever's down there.
You only need one or two volunteer's maps down there.
But you can just clean it as you go around.
But like Pontypool needs a full bloody team of people in there.
But what we tend to do is pull out an area, clean it, put it back and tidy it, you know.
You usually say to volunteers, well what do you want to do?
Which area is bothering you the most?
Because then you're more motivated.
If you come in and you say, I want to sort the baby clothes out.
You're more motivated to do it.
Or I want to come in and have show areas getting on my nerves.
Because I don't.
I only want to do the books.
But that's fine.
She does a really good job of it.
And she travels around the shops because she's got a best pass and she's happy enough to do it.
Because she travels around the libraries to see everybody in the libraries anyway and have her places and have a charity shop.
She's happy to then to go into the shops and maintain the books for us.
What's this?
Animated Golden Glitter Tattoos.
Tattoo Lab.
By Crazy Chick.
Alright, what should it have?
A little stand.
See, this is why you've got to check it.
I wouldn't want something like this going out in that condition.
You know, we're trying to restore it.
We don't just take the stuff in, sell it, take the money, pay the bills and off we go.
Alright, what we do is we check to see what's there and we clean it.
So we've got that.
And it's got like a little draw but I'll stuff it on there.
What's the difficult stuff?
Why does it clip on?
Oh, it's just done it.
Right, so we've got that.
I think it was brand new because that hadn't been used.
That goes on there.
I won't take the cover off it.
It looks new because the cover hadn't been taken off.
Somebody's just pulled it out and had a look at it.
Right, so we've got the back.
I don't know if it's all over there.
So we've got all of the guff that goes with it.
What's in there then?
Oh, some foils for some sort of tattoo.
Right.
Where's the list?
Of what comes with it.
Tattoos.
Oh yeah, that's the chic bit to go on there, isn't it?
Chicity chic.
Yeah, I don't think it's been opened.
Because the pencils look okay, don't they?
That's there, that's there.
We've got four little pots.
The stars are just like little gaps and you just stand up the pencils in there.
But what was that off there?
No, that's off that pirate ship, isn't it?
It's not off this.
Is that any pirate ship?
Stuff is everywhere.
Yeah, that's not even off that.
That's off any pirate ship.
And then an instruction leaflet.
Now some places are not allowed to sell stuff without an instruction leaflet.
But what I do is I, because you can Google many things today, you know, Google is a wonderful thing, what I do is I write on it no instructions, pound.
You know, whatever.
This one will be dearer.
350, I'm going to put on this, guys.
Oh no, my salad's been sold off.
Where's mom gone?
Oh, he's all made of a tree.
Princess is usually the pain.
She's got to be involved, you know.
That's lovely, isn't it?
Because it's all there.
Box isn't brilliant, but you don't have to buy new ones, especially when they're young.
Because, you know, you'll have to do it when they're like teenagers because of the peer pressure.
And, you know, it's just the way it is and the stuff that they want is dearer.
When they're little like this, you don't need to buy new all the time.
And this is why we do it, you know.
And this is why we go through it at 350 and it's totally complete.
Complete and used.
it wasn't open, the glitter wasn't open or anything.
But whoever buys that now is totally, totally informed of the conditions and how it should be in there, guys.
But this is what you'll be doing, guys.
You know, we have a laugh and a joke when we do it.
You know, we're not too serious.
Try not to be.
Have a laugh and a joke.
Get the snacks out.
Get the pop out.
Have a cup of tea in there.
This looks backwards, doesn't it?
Oh, there we are.
That might be better.
The crap of the kids' jigsaws.
I don't know if this is...
because I might just back to it sometimes.
I'm like...
Oh, where's the string?
I got it.
Some jigsaws really mess me up.
Oh, it's a dinosaur, I think.
I wouldn't have guessed that in the beginning.
Four, five.
Three-fifty I'll put on this one.
Oh, he fitted in.
Now I want to put him there.
So where's the six got to go?
It must be a leg.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
But the nine is upside down.
Just to confuse us all.
But there we are.
Three-fifty on him, guys.
Check him in and...
I've told them all how to do customer's deals.
And what have you.
My blanket's gone off.
This is a really old blanket.
I've got a really old leg blanket.
Absolutely burns your skin off.
They all got set-ins now.
They all got set-ins now.
So they don't get too hot.
The other week I had a hot water bottle.
We've got the name of it somewhere.
It must be made out of asbestos.
Because it gets so hot.
It's unreal.
But it's lovely.
Absolutely lovely.
Boons my skin off.
And what we would do then is tape the top.
Because children will pull them out in the shops.
So just tape the top.
And then nobody can pull it out in the shop and make a mess.
You have to go back through it.
It's just stuff that we've learnt since we've been doing it.
Keep on tapping stuff.
What's this?
Take that off.
So I don't know what week was on that then from that chart.
I messed up the stick.
What week they were on.
But they obviously didn't pull them out that week.
Because that's the way their business model works.
But I think charity shops are dying a death.
81 they got on there.
Might be upside down.
Might be week 18 and they've written it wrong.
I don't know.
Well that's a nice one.
Look it's a vintage Lady and the Tramp.
What was it supposed to be?
100 pieces this one.
This would be 250 as well guys.
250 for you.
I usually say to the volunteers don't tell people you're volunteering or stay out of it.
Because you'll get targeted then.
We don't want you getting targeted.
By these idiots.
We need you dealing with the shop.
Let me deal with it.
I get paid.
I get paid by Facebook.
They have social media sites to deal with them.
So that's what we usually say.
Don't throw yourself out there that you're volunteering and then you won't get targeted.
But the other thing is that they will write it in your UC diary or whatever PIP diary that you are volunteering so that if they did start bothering you it's already been signed off that you're allowed to do it.
So somebody on UC that's doing an investigation would log in to your thing and say she's been signed off by a local caseworker or a local person to volunteer there.
I might be a bit serious online sometimes with them.
This is one of my pet hates for these jigsaws.
Hearing them.
I've never known perhaps it's because they do them on the floor perhaps.
I don't know kids.
With the amount of hair we get in jigsaws we could make wigs from.
And I just think just go through me like I'm not a clean freak.
Trust me I'm not an organised freak.
But stuff like that really annoys me like.
It's like one of my pet hates.
So you might think oh my god I don't know if I want to volunteer for it.
But wait it's not like that once you volunteer for us.
Yes we're stripped on how we do things.
Very stripped because we've got a a brand and an image and a way that we're dealing with things.
And we are doing it differently to have a charity shop.
So we do do things differently.
But once you sort of get to know us I think you'll be okay you know.
You can see the calibre of the people that we go to volunteer for us.
You know they're good decent people.
And they all want the same.
At the end of the day they just want to give something back and they want to help or they want to recycle.
But what we will say to you is that you'll have a lot of this.
There's a lot of stuff comes in.
So you need to be prepared right.
Because you could sit there working 90 bags on your own right.
Like one of our volunteers sits on the stairs sometimes and counts the jigs or whatever like you know.
And she does like 500 of them and then another 500 come in.
The following day there'll be another 500.
So it's relentless.
Okay and we're just going to get busier and get more and more stuff in.
So just be a way that it's not like you know a little shop where you can sit down and put your feet up and do you will be working stock 24 7 and we get exhausted sometimes.
We're like we've got enough like literally get donation fatigue.
You've got to just walk away from it sometimes.
It's just easier to just walk away.
I don't know what I'm on.
I'm just putting them in sets of 10 just by looking how many I've got on my arm.
Put me on there now.
60 70 80 90 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.
Hang on now because I've got 4 more.
Not all jigsaws are what they say on the um we've noticed that.
They might say 100 but that's an approximate that is.
So there's 104 pieces in there.
And they all look like the same size.
It doesn't look like there's a rope set in there.
Maybe if I get another Disney one out the same size.
Or another Reisenburger or whatever they call Reisenburger.
I'll have to um reopen this one.
To double check I haven't got another piece from another one.
They say 100 but sometimes that's approximate.
It's a little cold though.
Loads of charity shops don't check their jigsaws.
That's why they give them to us.
But if we're individually pricing them.
Sometimes if we do a job lot we just check them all in and say it's 3 or 4 for the lot.
And the reason you're having a trip is because obviously we can't check them.
I think I've watched up to this point when his lawyers friend had got HIV and it was the start of the HIV epidemic I think or the realisation.
When did Diana go out and deal with the AIDS patients?
I can't remember.
These are nice.
I kept them back for one of our
dressers.
Done now bag.
Big bag of jigsaws.
Let's have a look.
I've got books by you.
I could do the book.
Get up and look for snacks.
What's he doing there?
Right, let's do all mail.
I can't use those.
What if I use them as a stand?
Goodnight Claire.
I don't even know what the time is.
What time are we?
2.13.
Yeah, going strong.
I am well.
I'll have a sweet sound and keep going.
I've got a thank you sticker.
That's OK, I can get them ready.
When was he printed?
Is that being signed?
It might be a signed copy.
It could be a signed copy.
Is it a printed copy or a signed copy?
I think it's done in pen.
So I think it's a signed copy.
Change of plan.
Because it's a signed one.
Sometimes they print signatures and it's not worth anything then.
But this looks like a signed copy.
Signed copies we sell really cheap actually.
It's like £25 and they'd be on offer in the shops.
I'll double check it online to make sure those other books haven't been signed like that.
But it looks like a pen.
I've got to look to see if it's a real pen in there.
Because if it's just a printed signature it does look like a real pen.
I've got the best glasses on to check it.
Yeah, it does look like a pen.
It looks like one of these Sharpie pens.
I'll have to check it.
Even the books.
Even the books we wipe over.
Even the books.
And we keep our hands sanitised out in the shops so that you've got kids back and forth and they usually pick up their lube from everywhere, don't they?
So we like, yep, you can wipe your hands down in the shop.
We've got sinks that you can wash your hands in.
But we try and wipe it all down with antibacterial wipes.
A little hand sanitiser like that is good.
We have gloves.
I supply gloves.
So if anybody wants to wear gloves, you can.
I just don't bother.
I just wash my hands.
I never wear gloves when I'm doing it.
But I do have gloves.
They're always kept in the kitchen area.
If you just feel a little...
So this was an old copy, wasn't it?
The 2000 or something?
Yes, it was the Millennium.
First published Millennium copy.
It's worth a bit, I expect.
Not crazy amounts, but it's still a collectible.
So if you're into your collectible box...
So if you're into your collectible box, then you would enjoy that.
But somebody who's coming in just for a book will be like, well I can get that a pound elsewhere.
But you won't get a collectible one because they haven't bothered looking.
I'm bothered looking and researching it, have they?
I don't know what to do.
Get another bag.
Get some sweets.
I don't know.
Chocolate we were buying.
I don't know what to do.
He's got two tablets here as well.
One of them is obviously craft and this one.
I don't know if you could get this one working.
You test and see and then see if we can get it working and then they'll either go out in the shop floor for like three quid if it's just like recycling bits.
Or they'll go in the cabinet if they're worth a bit more.
But he's in the middle of checking them.
So I don't know.
I've got bits and bits of this paint and shit everywhere.
Oh I've got to get up.
Oh my knee is gone.
I've got an Arnica gel.
Have I got...
Yes, because I got it ready for holiday.
I thought I'd take a bit of the old Arnica gel.
SBC Arnica gel.
Can't go wrong.
I don't think it won't let me have a steroid see just in case I get called up for the op.
But I mean I have said to them now I'm going away I don't know if I can have the knee op now.
It's going to have to be after Christmas.
No.
It's warming.
It's gotten stiff.
What have I been saying to you?
I have to get up guys and do well.
So we'd have made, if we'd have been on kick now we'd have made at least 30.
Wouldn't we?
£30 just for talking online.
Wouldn't we guys?
It's a lot in there because that's you know it's just under 10 packs of nappies now maybe 8.
Maybe 8 if we work it out.
But that's 8 packs of nappies to help the family like kind of 8 families.
Right, I've got to get up and get some sweets I think guys.
Might log in a bit later.
