Alright, so, um, cages are holding up, that's brilliant.
They haven't done too bad in Blackwood shop considering they've had 150 bags this week.
I think it was 147 they've counted so far.
They've got donation fatigue so they've gone off now.
They've gone off early, they've had, we've told some customers and parents today about the five bucks.
You can come and take five bucks, get some more under there, somewhere, up to a pound.
We've got to say that because it's got some that's like, you know, vintage and they're up for 60.
And people are like, I want this one for free.
But, you know, you know what I mean.
But you can have five bucks to put with the little ones at Pile Christmas morning.
Okay, so I've been busy, I've been pricing since I've been up here.
I'm stocked, literally.
This is all, they left me the stuff that they weren't sure about.
Dan's pretty good with prices now, but they weren't sure.
So, thank you so much guys.
We've had a brilliant day.
Don't forget I've got sunflowers here, they will still grow inside.
Right?
What do we do?
This is Tuesdays.
No, wrong thing.
Tuesdays, Tuesdays are a quiet day, even with the market.
We've had a brilliant, absolutely brilliant Tuesday.
I've done that on a Tuesday for a long time in Blackwood.
I think they've done really well.
People buy in the craft bottles.
This is out of stock.
I think somebody's been in there, so they've got to restructure that.
There's lots of new stock up here that not even I've seen because they've had so much in.
Again, they've had so much in.
New stuff, new bags.
Oh, there's lovely stuff up here.
And like I said, 50% off the lot because we've got so much.
Look at the gaps in the books from where it was last time you were up here.
Brilliant, brilliant.
That's great.
This is the travel cot.
Get up with that.
They do over 90 of them in here.
If they would drop the market charges and all the charges off the shop next door, I'd take on the shop next door for over, overs and they'd just go in there and grab a pile of stuff and bring it in here.
But they won't drop the market and I can't justify that because then I could have another shop elsewhere, couldn't I?
So yeah, we've had quite a few customers in today.
A customer's just gone so I don't have a chance to do anything myself.
I'll finish the pricing.
So I've taken a couple of pictures.
Like they'll be £2.50.
That'll be a £3.
If I put that with the £2.50 they know where that bag's got to go then.
My chaffing gel and my dog food.
I think they've had some pet food in and they've definitely had mappies.
I don't know about food.
I think they have.
I don't recognise that spaghetti.
What's this?
Oh, this should have gone under the thing.
The scarves, we've already sold scarves.
They've gone up but they look lovely.
So they've reworked this today because this was starting to be a bit of a dumping ground.
He's not waiting for me to go is he?
I don't know.
I think I'm OK.
I think.
I don't know.
Might give me a round of.
Dan's going to have a look at the windows out here tomorrow.
But they've put all the scarves up.
What a difference that makes for the scarves.
And they've sold because people can see them.
And they're not in a box.
They're just checked in a box, you know.
Like I said, we want your experience with us to be good.
And we've had some good feedback today.
It's a very friendly shop, this one.
So that's good.
What was that then?
Oh, it might have been Ian out the back.
I heard something then.
I don't know if something had fallen.
Doesn't lock a customer in, do we?
It might have been Ian out the back, going round the back, locking up the back gate.
There's a door over there.
Could have been that.
Oh, look, we've got room.
Oh, the horse went straight away.
We put it up.
It's been here a couple of days, but they had it out the back, they did, because they didn't know what price to put on it.
And they were busy pricing.
We put the horse straight up.
Oof, gone.
Brilliant.
Oh, it was lovely of mine.
It was nice.
I wanted it.
So thank you ever so much, guys.
Absolutely thank you ever so much.
I mean, how many nappies can you get out of that?
Or it would be one bill for something, I expect.
I have a couple of bills, so it would be a bill for something.
I've got my bag of stuff.
I've got stuff in a bag.
I've got a scarf.
I don't know where to put it.
And then Chloe brought some stuff in for the Christmas.
Where is it?
I don't know.
I thought I pulled it out.
I could have sworn blindly pulled it out.
You could go, because I was going to forget it.
Oh, here it is, love.
I've got a scarf in there for my mother to put her.
And then Chloe brought these in for the Christmas.
A scarf for my Christmas appeal.
I might have to take over my mother's Christmas stuff.
Because it all seals, so like for a teenager.
Yeah, so I might do that.
But I need these sunflowers gone, guys.
Otherwise they are going to die and, you know, you can get hundreds of seeds off them.
So come and take them.
They are free.
You can grow them inside the house.
You can grow them inside a porch.
They still grow.
You've just got to watch the frost, because the frost will finish them off, see.
Lovely day my way otherwise.
I think Dan is going to have a look at the windows tomorrow.
Out here.
To get them done.
They've got a few gaps though, in there.
Not many, but they've got a few.
And then we've got our lovely pictures up there, look, that was done by somebody with autism.
And I think the cages look fab.
Sorry girls, go on.
I think the cages look fab.
I can't remember what I made shut.
I said it was six plus five.
I wish I could get in here in the night.
I could get so much more done.
But there we are.
I can't have everything come here.
I've got plenty of other shops I could be working in in the night, I'm sure.
This is the music.
This is an antique music box.
It lifts up and plays music.
I keep telling them not to put stuff on there.
And to lift it.
I'll try and remember that this week.
See that Mickey Mouse is lovely.
Yeah, they've sold some stuff.
Definitely gaps in there.
Brilliant.
Thank you very much guys.
We've had a brilliant Tuesday.
Alrighty, I'm off now.
Sorry, I didn't realise the time.
So yeah.
I'm surprised that Avon teapot is delicious.
It's got some sort of solid perfume in it.
Because they're quite collectible.
Got lovely designer handbags in at the moment.
Beautiful.
And I love that money box.
Brilliant.
Oh, brilliant guys.
I'm really pleased with how blackwood's going.
It's a lot tidier in there.
And I'm really pleased with Pontypool.
Like I said, Risca is perfect.
But I can't get... I haven't got the time to go down there and run it at the moment.
I've got to shut it.
You know.
Because there's things we needed to concentrate on these two shops.
So anyway.
They're looking a lot better.
What a lovely evening in there.
I don't know what to do now.
What am I going to do tonight?
It's like me, is it?
I could go over the shop and do work, but I might not.
I might go and harass my mother, is it?
Should I go and harass her?
See if she's done already.
