Alright, so hiya guys.
We've been busy, we haven't... I haven't been well.
I've been better today, but I'm still... I don't know what I picked up.
Maybe it was a bug, I don't know.
So we've been doing some jobs today, now things have got to get done.
He's finished blocking off the window tidy now.
And he only had a few woks left, but he bashed them in.
So I put some of the £2.50 clothes up, you know, things with new tags or whatever.
We put them up for £2.50, or I think that's River Island or something.
I've got to try and clean the windows off now so I can get my shelves in there to elevate some of this stuff, otherwise it looks a bit junky.
Chloe's cleaned off one of the windows for me.
Luke had a go as well, so I had to put some... put some security on it.
We've had some lovely stuff in.
We've got some... these are all the clothes we couldn't get out.
Now I... these are like the ones from the donation centre and stuff where we couldn't get out.
They were in bags, or in the travel cots of home.
We've got our little thing there, but I don't think it'll fit on the ledge.
We'll have a think.
I wanted it on there, but then you couldn't get anything in it.
It was a bit too tall.
I don't know.
So, yeah, we've been doing a few jobs.
I haven't done any painting today.
I might do a bit later.
This one's a bit worn, but I'll redo this one.
So we've been doing that.
We've started now filling the rails in here.
So we need to sort this lot out now, as we've been going through.
We've gone, hang on, I just saw that boot.
And you can find it.
But 90... 90% of these shoes will have payers.
Definitely.
They will have payers.
So we'd be able to salvage them.
Give them a clean, get them up.
I think he'd done something with a step tonight to finish it off, because it was a bit up either step.
So I got to get another thingy on there.
We might pull up the carpet in there because it's a bit minging.
And then get a perspex to go over that floor safe and make it a feature.
Put lights in it.
Why not?
These are the shelves I'm going to put in the window until I get the Kalex cube.
Sorry if I haven't picked up.
I know there was a few people I was supposed to pick up, but I just haven't been well enough.
Don't know what was wrong with me.
But because we couldn't move in here.
These now we've emptied.
I'm going to go back down the donation center.
Remember we had them as our emergency crates, but if an house clearance pulled up and then they could just fill up the crates and the cages.
These are not crates.
Fill them up.
And like I said, we try and give our house clearance boys crates.
So there I was.
I mean if they use them in the meantime, that's fine.
But we give them crates so they can be stacked and they can be pumped trapped.
We haven't got a pump truck yet, but I'm quite sure it's on our list of stuff to get.
So they will go back to risk a shot now.
So that, you know, when health and safety turn up, we can say if we get a house clearance unexpected and we haven't made space for it.
These are the emergency crates they go into and they, you know, they're better for manual handling.
Like I said, this year and last year, we come on leaps and bounds with things like manual handling and all the rest of it.
So I want him to bang in some more hooks, hooks everywhere.
And then he's got to cut this and get it on the wall.
So we are a bit behind, but I think it was a bit ambitious to get it all done in the first week.
But there we are.
It is shoppable now, I think.
Things need to be pushed over a bit.
Like this would be outside.
These would be outside tomorrow.
If I can get the windows done, I can get the stuff up in the windows and the posters and then all of this junk is out the way then and they're ready to be shopped.
There's some lovely stuff in there, it's not all junk.
But yeah, I need hangers because I'm still low on hangers.
I probably use another 500 hangers, but I'm still low.
Oh, we've had some stuff in.
Pet food wise as well and pet wise.
This is why I need a little pet stand now, not just pet food, look.
Getting a lot of pet things in.
So I need like a pet stand to display them all on now in each shop because we're getting leads and coats and all sorts coming in.
Look, we've got a scratcher over there, look.
So it'd be nice to have one stand or dresser or the pet items now, wouldn't it?
Lovely food bank items dropped off earlier.
Thank you very much.
Our food bank is free, don't forget.
Not all the food banks are free.
I'm taking in tablets today because I don't know if it's the tablets causing me a problem.
But I haven't done much walking about.
In all fairness, Chloe's and Dan's been going and running about tonight so I haven't needed the painkiller so much.
But I think I'd myself sideways with tablets and things.
But we've got some lovely clothes in, guys.
And these are our £2.50 clothes.
So fabulous they are.
Colours are coming out nice but I just plod on with it now.
Plod on with it.
If I do it tomorrow then I probably won't have the customers going through that way.
But once that back room is sorted, I can shift some stuff.
And that's sorted.
I can shift some stuff and then we can paint in here, see.
So it makes a difference having that reinforced wood up there because it's warmer in here, I find.
Dan did say it's going to be cold but it's a lot warmer in here tonight, Dan.
Bit of crack on there, isn't it?
What was I meant to do?
