Alright, so, Viv's come over tonight and sorted out my life for me.
There we are.
So, brilliant.
Thank you for that, Viv.
We got through quite a bit now.
Staff area is open now for people to sit.
We've still got stuff to sort out.
We've cleaned and priced, because of course some of it was dusty.
So, they're ready to go.
There's no room out there now, or in any of the shops.
So, this is the waiting space here.
So, yeah, this is our waiting space.
So, there's something to stick it out, or somebody come down and say we've got room, you know.
These need to be priced jigsaws.
I need them counted.
If anybody is about, they want to take the jigsaw's account.
That would be fantastic.
That's pressure washing.
It's got to come with me.
All of this needs to be priced under there.
I've got a lot of pricing on my desk.
But that's things like records.
I can do that, like, in the evening.
I'm not worried about that.
This problem area got to be sorted.
We've put up some tempish signs to try and tell people what area, you know, make it easier for people.
Two bankrolls exploded.
I have one of those dance mats.
That was going to be my exercise that was.
Might even be mine, you know.
I did, do you know, stuff that come in, right?
I don't know if you think.
I'm sure that was mine.
So, yeah, we haven't tackled over there yet.
But, they have been grouping stuff.
So, like, they've started the books and stuff.
That's the CDs.
And then we got a few, we got to go through these, but they don't cable there for now.
Because we need to stack them now.
Because now, unless I get a shop tonight, we've got a room now, anyway.
Clothes are up.
They're ready to be priced.
We've brought this in to be fixed by now.
I want to put, like, jewelry and stuff in there.
I might not do it.
I don't know.
Might have to be static so that you can't turn it.
But, yeah, we've price-loaded.
We've got loads out there tonight.
Yeah, I think it looks all better.
I've wiped the tables down.
I've got a couple of radios I want to price.
Got a couple of things I need checking.
Like, is that all there?
But it might be over there in the box, you see.
So, we've got those boxes to deal with.
Start with the biggest and then, once we do the boxes, we have boxes to store stuff then when we...
and then we can label the boxes, say what's in them, say they're priced suitable all shops or suitable Jess Blackwood shop or Pontypool or whatever.
We can write on there.
We know what it is then, can't we?
Yeah, so the prem boxes are ready for the children to pick up the colour in.
If they're well-behaved, like teenagers, they can come in and sit by you and do it, you know, with you.
I don't mind.
Or you can take them home.
I will be here tomorrow, but I've got to go and see the ENT specialist.
Any luck?
They're gonna whip out my tonsils.
Because it's my spleen.
I'm having trouble with my spleen now.
It was on the upper limits when I was very ill.
So I need it checked.
Oh, the other day I was walking around with it, you know, like I've been shot.
I was like...
And sometimes you can see it sticking out the spleen.
But it's all the lymphatic system, see, when I've been ill.
So your lymphatic system is a bit like passport control for your blood.
So like they call bits in and they're like, oh, let's have a humid.
And, you know, they check what's going around in your blood.
They look for tumor markers.
So that's been working overdrive, hasn't it?
Since I've been ill.
So...
Because I didn't get proper treatment.
Then when they did start treating me, we went into pandemic and it was like, oh, everything was awful.
Then I nearly died.
Then I had the triple blood transfusion.
I remember lying on my deathbed authorizing the food pickups.
Going, hang on, hang on, let me do this.
There's people relying on this food.
Right now you can inject me or whatever.
Um...
Oh, I never thought I'd get out of there.
It was awful.
And that's when they...
Oh, I waited all day for an ultrasound.
It was only across the road.
Literally across the road from my room.
I could have.
I could have done it my blood myself, like, you know.
Um...
But when they did it, she let slip that the tumor had grown, but I never sent him, he said, quite rapidly since the last time I'd had a check.
And I was like, what?
And I was like, no, you're dealing with this now.
Um...
So, yeah, I got to go down now.
I will literally, if they said to me now, come down now.
We'll whip the tonsils out.
They'd be down there.
I can't wait because it's so painful.
I can't taste properly.
Swallowing is properly...
Awful.
The psychic came in today to see us.
Oh, a regular one.
Just popped in.
And she said, um, get ready, you lot.
Get ready, because she said, not only are you going to be known throughout Wales, but England too, and the UK.
Everybody will know your name, she said.
Everybody will know what you do.
And everybody will respect you for what you do.
So there we are.
She's been right before.
So...
We'll see.
I think most people know us anyway.
And we've already helped people in Ireland and Nottingham and some other places.
So I'm sure they will know us.
What we might have to do is split the table so that we have like Lego club on our table.
And then if we can't get through the pricing and the donations and the storing of the donations at the back, we can leave them on the table as long as it's like this, you know, it's safe.
As long as it's not like piled up boxes, that'll be okay.
So we need to streamline that bit a bit now so that you can get around you better.
Yeah, as a pity we didn't have two more tables there, because we could store a lot under the table, see.
Like we've done over there, look.
Yeah, well, thank you very much for coming down.
So I was pricing, wiping stuff over.
Pricing and Viv was shooting it out there in a box over there, you know, putting it, grouping it into sections, which is easier for me then.
So we got it done.
So I'm here tomorrow.
I don't know what time I'm going to be done in the hospital.
I'm 40 ENT and I will be jogging in there with my broken knees.
I don't know if I'm going to come in first thing in the morning.
Let's see what Karen and Jana are doing.
They might come in and they might open up and that I'd be back and forth.
But I got another appointment in the afternoon with the doctor, so I won't be long with that one.
But yes.
Yay, let's get these tonsils out so I can swallow properly.
The psychic said, she came in after they rang me, I was so excited, and she said, oh, you're going to go into hospital, she said, but you're going to be in and out.
And I said, oh, yeah.
And she kept touching the throat before I'd said, and she was like, yeah, you're going to be in and out.
Before I'd put it on Facebook.
You're going to be in and out, she said.
But don't worry, she said, because you'll be all right.
She said, you might, it'd be painful.
She said, but you'll be out.
I said, yeah, I will.
I'll be in and out, back in the shops and eat an ice cream while I'm there.
With my tip-tops, all them tip-tops callable.
Sorry, I can't wait now.
I literally cannot wait.
She said, you're going to be better for having the procedure done.
She didn't know at the time.
I think I will, too.
I think I will.
But then I've lost two lymph nodes then, haven't I?
Like, so part of the lymphatic system.
But like, when I'm ill, they're the first thing to get inflamed, like, you know.
And on my sleep apnea machine, I'm on quite, I can't remember where I'm on, but it's quite a bit.
But I don't really use it because I don't sleep long enough, but that could be why, but I've always been like that.
I don't really use the sleep apnea machine as I should be.
Plus the cats keep putting their hand over it and stuff and messing with it when I got it on.
I'm trying to sleep.
So yeah, so we've literally got under the table to deal with.
Those boxes over there.
And the boxes at the back.
So if we can get that done, wouldn't that be good if we could get it done the weekend?
Looking to do a car boot.
I don't know if I'm going to do Morrison's in Newport.
And, or maybe Penneval, because I like Penneval.
Lovely family around there.
So I'm waiting on them to confirm or we can do up their fundraise or just stock sales.
I've got some nice radios to price for there now.
I might get them done and then that's that section done, isn't it?
Need Dan to do a couple of jobs now though.
I need to free him up.
Don't we?
Well, I would think that we'll get it.
I'm sure by next week we'll be as firm as we were this week with donations.
