Oh, I'm back in work, guys.
Oh, I've been ill.
Three days I've been in bed.
I could have done more of another day off but the girls were panicking because we've had tons in.
I've got at least three carfuls now at the house that's got to come.
Because I usually bring them in daily, see, but I am being able to do it because I'm being well.
I've got tons of pricing to do.
Tons of sorting to do.
It's Crivet, a good mate, guys.
I've just seen a couple Crivet things.
I've never heard of them sportswear.
We've had some beautiful things in again.
Brand new, these.
Look.
Brand new.
A gentleman just came in, now he needs to know I came in last week.
He said I had ten pounds worth of children's clothes for my grandson.
About eight to ten, I think.
He said, and I mean, we had bargains.
He said they were good makes.
We had bargains.
They were good quality.
He said, and then we got to the tail and the girls were like, no, no, you've got to have a five pound to spend for free.
And they were like, yeah, well, we don't want anything.
I said, get back up there.
I said, yeah, that's my girls.
I've trained them well.
Get back up there.
Take your five pounds worth of stuff for free.
Like I said, guys, if we do well, you do well.
That's the way we do it.
Like I said, you bring your donations to me and make sure you get them back cheaper.
We just need enough to cover the running costs and to cover the food banks and the nappies.
We're not looking to make millions of pounds.
We're not far off it, I don't think, but we're not.
We're not.
We're not user about the money.
It's about recycling the stuff as well.
Oh, no avalanche.
So I got to go through all of that.
I got another car load doing later.
There's a car load downstairs.
There's about 15 car loads up here.
Oh, the three days off and look at it.
Anyway, the girls have managed to keep the shops rolling and Dan and Chloe have managed to keep the shop rolling up there.
Bought some nice dividers for the books in Blackwood.
Once we get a pathway in here for Dawn, we're going to start sorting out the books.
They have a move around with the shelves, but it was easier for her to go to Blackwood first to sort the books and the book sales are up.
But I'm struggling today.
I am struggling.
I'm going to sit here and try and sort and price and then at least I've knocked a dent in it, haven't I?
I don't know if we're going to be in Sunday because Daniel's picking up his new car on Sunday.
I don't know.
I'll see how I feel on Sunday.
If I need another break somewhere, we might have to have Sunday off.
If not, perhaps I'll pick up Chloe because he'll want to come and show his car off then over here once he's picked it up, I expect.
He's going to Gloucestershire to pick it up, so it's the one he's been after for a while.
That's good.
He's happy.
And then I've got to try and get my name for a service.
Oh, it's all going.
I haven't got time to go to my dental appointments or my opticians.
I've had my B12, but I wasn't very good at the doctors.
I was supposed to come in yesterday and I felt dizzy after it and everything, so I didn't come in.
I don't know whether it's a bug or whether it's something I've eaten or done, but it's not a very nice one.
I couldn't lift my head off the pillow.
So the girls have kept it nice and tidy.
I have got a bit of washing to do.
I'm going to just plod along today.
So if you come in and it's a mess and I'm wrapped up in my blanket, you know why.
But thank you to the volunteers.
They've kept it running here and again.
And it was lovely and tidy before I came in, but I had to bring a carload in with me.
So here we are.
I'm going to sit by here now.
I have my Pepsi Max not sponsored.
The Chippy across the road is open till 8 tonight, Cafe Crane.
And they often bring food in for the staff at the end of the chef.
They had chips the other night.
And what did we have?
We had fish cake.
I'm not a fan of fish cake.
Too fishy.
And then chips, which I couldn't eat.
But I did have the battered sausage, which was lovely.
Thank you very much.
I was very kind of them to do that.
And when Dan was there, he gave us this fridge ready for the fresh food for the food bank.
That was good news.
Seeing Tesco's might be giving it straight out to the customer.
Yeah.
Well played.
Well played Tesco's.
Because these charities, they're only selling it on at a profit.
Look at that lady that's paid £18 in a church food bank.
£18 in a church food bank?
Those words don't even go together in a sentence, do they?
You know.
Talk about corruption.
We are in the website spamming again, guys.
Any problems, give us a shout.
We'll tell you how to shut it down so they don't do it on your Facebook or your business pages.
Did you see a daughter or either a daughter or a daughter-in-law put on their Hayley's daughter-in-law?
Put a laughing emoji?
You know, I really think now, perhaps I should ring trading standards and say you need to change your name from the helping caring team because you're not actually helping and caring anybody.
Who are you caring about?
It's not very caring when somebody's suicidal over your behaviour.
And then your daughter-in-law is like... but that's what they like.
Do you see what I mean?
Now the mask is falling, isn't it?
There we are.
The mask is starting to fall and people can see it now, can't they?
They just won the monopoly on everything.
Thank you for folding up them curtains because they look really heavy.
When I come in, I see you folding up those curtains, Sammy.
They look really heavy.
I was like, oh no.
Are they those mega heavy ones that I have to drag up there?
Because they're like from the dark ages.
They are.
They're like from the... they're so heavy.
It's unreal.
Oh, yeah.
So anyway, that's what I'm about to do.
I'm going to try and cut back on the sugar.
I've got to start... I've got to go back where I've been ill.
On the shakes with my stomach because I just can't.
They're off the doctor.
I just couldn't swallow or anything.
Such a bad state with it all.
So yes, we've got quite a bit to do.
We've got some posh stuff over there.
Some nice knickknacks down there.
Somebody step out the front.
Somebody we banned tried to come in again.
So I've just told her myself now if you come back again, I will be ringing 999.
You're banned.
You're thieves.
You've been caught on the cameras in the market.
You've been caught in Poundland.
You've been caught everywhere.
Don't come in my shops again.
And don't take anything from out the front.
I've already plastered it all over bloody face.
Bucky face anyway.
It doesn't matter.
If you steal from next door.
If you steal from Poundland.
If you steal from somebody up there.
Or if you steal from Peacocks in Blackwood.
Or if you steal from New Look in Blackwood.
You ain't coming in our shop.
Because we stand by the other retailers.
We're working our backsides off here.
Some of us are working from morning till blooming.
Sunup.
And you coming in here and stealing stuff that we're using to help families.
If I catch you stealing.
You can look out.
I'm telling you now.
I'll take you to the bloody ground.
So there we are.
Now Easter party.
What are we doing guys?
Because I've got a small window of opportunity to book an Easter bunny.
Right now I'm not up to it.
I've got to be honest.
I am being well for a couple of weeks.
You're not going to come Thursday evenings to do the party.
It's going to have to be somewhere central.
So we said like Blackwood.
Because everybody can get there by bus.
But then it might just be easier not to put it on.
I think and just concentrate on the Christmas one.
Because I am being well.
And it's going to come quick Easter's.
So I think we might give it a miss.
Because not many mothers have...
Confirmed.
The volunteers have confirmed with their children.
But not the mothers.
I don't know.
Don't know if I'm up to it.
Anyway, we'll have a go.
See what happens in it.
See what happens.
So yep.
Should be open tomorrow.
Providing them well.
I need to be here I think.
Because I've got to get through these donations.
And...
Sunday.
I'll let you know about Sunday.
Alright.
He's going with my dad to pick up his new car.
And they've put a new MOT on it as well.
New roll bar.
So they look like a decent garage.
So yeah.
There we are.
All good guys.
Don't forget the cafe over the road is open tonight with fish and chips.
Support them please.
