Right, so I'm here on the night shift, guys.
I'm going around taking pictures and stuff.
We're going to trial...
Buying something.
I don't know, that'd be about £2.50.
You know, say that's £2.50, right?
Paying for it, and then you can pick it up within five days.
Okay, I'm gonna trial it.
I know other groups have done it.
That's where I've got the idea from.
Who folded them?
We've got a serious OCD problem developing, I think.
Could be from working here.
Very good.
They look nice, don't they?
Posh, don't touch them.
Everything I get a volunteer in who does stuff like this nice and tidy, right?
I want to shrink wrap in it.
I want to shrink wrap everything so nothing can get touched.
The reason I'm doing it is because we're getting so much stuff in now.
It's crazy.
I've got a carful.
I can't move.
Dan's got a carful.
I think Sam's coming in with a carful in the morning.
We're getting so much now that we need it rolling, rolling, rolling.
So that's why we're gonna do it.
Feel free to open the cupboards, guys.
We're gonna get a sign on it to say, open the cupboards, open the drawers.
Because we're just back from it now.
Okay, I'm happy.
If it says do not open, do not enter, obviously don't go in there.
Oh, nice, isn't it?
Half price.
Half price.
Spend £10.
Yeah, which is basically £20.
Get £5, which is basically £10 because we're on half price free.
So, can't go wrong, Canute.
I don't think you'd get that deal in any other charity shop anyway.
We're not a charity, but you wouldn't get that deal anyway, would you?
Cheaper if you're an OAP.
Let's see it.
Yeah,
so I'm going slow.
I've taken some pictures so you can zoom in and see stuff.
We'll do our best to accommodate you.
And if you say, oh, can I have a look at our decanter?
We'll do our best to keep up with it.
We're really, really busy.
We have got some good volunteers in at the moment.
Thank you, guys.
We've got some good volunteers, which is what I need.
I don't need any half-hearted ones.
But what I will say is if you don't pick it up, we've got five days on it, right?
If you don't pick it out, I'm going to put it back out and whatever you pay for it will go into the food bank fundraising.
So it'll go into food bank items.
The reason I say that is because I've got a sofa that's been here nearly four weeks that needs to go.
Santa's grotto.
And I've got a box that somebody bought and promised me they would pick it up and then promised me again and then turned up on a bike to pick it up.
And these are big items, you know, and they still haven't picked it up.
Now, I will start transferring between the shops again, but you have to pay for the item.
All right, so I'm not going to transfer like this.
And then nobody's paid for it, OK?
So because I started doing that and then other people were like, no, turning up for the stuff.
And then Blackwood was full of stuff.
What's happened to Wrangler Man?
What happened to Wrangler Man?
So, yeah.
Oh, there's one of those hands, Leanne.
You said, didn't you?
I'm going to stick it up like that.
I'm going to hang necklaces and stuff on it.
Do that.
So, yeah, I will keep it.
But if it's a ridiculous excuse that I am being picked up for a ridiculous amount of time, then it's going in the food bank fundraising.
If the sofa and the box are not picked up by Closer Business Friday, it's going in the food bank fundraising and it's going back out for sale.
And I'm not refunding or exchanging.
OK, because it's already been banked.
It's already in there.
I can allocate it somewhere else once it's banked, you know, but I'm not refunding, taking it because that's a pain in the backside.
So, you know, but I need these big items gone.
I need everything gone because I got more coming in and the rate of it coming in is absolutely crazy.
So, you know, can't help it, guys.
These are so popular.
Oh, look at that.
Look at this gold.
That's old.
Two fifty.
That should be at least six, seven pounds.
Beautiful, look at that.
It would be nice with figs in.
Wouldn't it look posh if we had figs in now?
I can't get it back in there.
I've messed up somebody's display now.
I shouldn't have touched.
I shouldn't have touched.
Yeah, thank you very much to my volunteers.
I got at the moment.
They're brilliant.
OK, like I said, got rid of one that kept making a mess.
I cannot have you here if you make messes for other people to clean up.
Right.
We got enough to do as it is.
OK.
So if you know for a fact you're going to be cutting corners, don't even bother coming in here.
All right, because the volunteers I got at the moment are working their backsides off.
They don't need to come into their area that they've worked and find another 400 items slammed somewhere for them to clean up.
OK?
I find that quite bad that somebody would do that.
Oh, what else?
Knowing.
I'm priced up.
That's not ordinary.
Well, I know of this stuff here that I'm being priced because the other one we've got a shot of that was making a mess wasn't bringing the donations to the donation point upstairs to be weighed and put them out and to be priced.
So she was being lazy and just bashing them in here or just chucking them in here and that's why they've gone without pricing.
I'm not stupid.
I'm far from stupid.
And I got CCTV anyway.
So, you know, I've only got to go back on the CCTV.
Where's that plant come from?
Is it an actual plant?
Or is it a fake one?
I saw it the other day.
I thought, how is that plant surviving down here with all the sunlight?
Oh, anyway, there we go.
Oh, that thing might have to come down.
We might need to get some more of them.
The moisture thing.
We never touched that bit up, that would have to be so busy.
Oh, they're nice blue cups over there, aren't they?
They look expensive.
Oh, I can't get to them.
Never mind.
Don't forget these clothes.
Three for a pound, guys.
Three for a pound.
We don't mess around.
Daniel's got a car full.
A car full.
This is a car of a designer ready to go up to Blackwood.
Never been seen.
Never been seen.
So, they're going to be out.
I'm going to say Wednesday or Thursday because now they've got the tagging system.
They've been priced.
I priced them tonight.
Well, this afternoon I think I did it.
And me and my mother did it.
And they
will be going out by the time they sort the rails out.
And then sort the rails out and then tag them with the tagging system.
Isn't it awful?
We've got a tag tag step in Blackwoodshire.
Like a proper tagging machine.
Unbelievable, isn't it?
By the time they do that, probably nothing about Wednesday or Thursday.
These new items will be in the store.
There's also a lot of plus sized dresses out there.
24 and up.
I had at least 15.
24 and up.
Spring dresses.
Really nice ones.
Really nice.
What's that?
A rubbish box is it?
What could be salvaged out of that?
I'd go through that and nothing wrong with that.
That's a rubbish.
Nothing wrong with that.
If it's not burst.
I mean I don't know.
It might not be the rubbish box.
It might be the soap box.
That's part of that lamp.
So that goes with that.
Check that in with the bras.
That's a Pokemon card.
Could be worth a fortune.
Might not.
That's a cube.
The only thing there really doesn't really have a home at the moment are those.
Probably nothing going on with our battery.
Anyway, I'll leave it there for somebody to have a look at.
I'll put up some more posters.
I'm on the night shift tonight.
I need night shift workers now.
That's just a rough picture until I can get blue prints to work.
Red root.
Don't abstract.
Shops.
So you've got a rough idea of where you are.
Okay, but that's going to be a blue print eventually.
Actually, I just put a quick one up.
You know, because we often come in and find customers going, oh, I've been in here for days.
I don't know my way out.
Nice dishes gain.
So we're going to try it, guys.
If we get anybody that's not, if it starts to be a nuisance or we're transferring stuff, stuff ain't getting picked up, or when they come back, then they're like, mmm, we don't like it.
You know, I mean, if you were to say to me, I like the teapot.
I think the teapot's up for free.
I've got to be honest, because it's a bit damaged.
So anyway, say you like the candlestick, yeah?
So three pound it'll be, yeah?
So I take it to Blackwood Shop, and then you don't like it.
But I would take a decent picture of it before you pay for it.
To show you.
Okay?
Sometimes I do this, like this bowl I've got a bit of a mark on it, so it's up for free.
I just put it in there sometimes.
I'd rather somebody take it home than I spin it.
And then they can use that for a plant or something.
So I really like them.
Loads of wedding stuff here, guys.
Tons of wedding stuff.
And like I said, unless I go on it, do not open or unlock.
You can go in the cupboards.
Because all of that's priced at ready to oh, look at that.
Priced at ready to rock and roll.
RRP 40.
But some damage on him.
He's three pound.
I had another one of those guys on the window.
Is this still up there?
That was 40 pound.
Don't know.
I haven't seen him.
Just a bit worried about that one's down here.
I'm sure I put the two of them up there.
I don't know.
Things will walk about.
Red root.
Red root, red root.
We know it now.
We know it's the red root, don't we?
We know what we're doing.
Could be a bit wider, I think.
Or I need a door thing for that.
So we're not using this.
See, this is on the red root now.
Needs to be off.
But we'll do that in the morning.
We'll do that in the morning.
This needs to be wiser, because I've done it myself.
I put boxes for there.
So this, we need to paint all red cloth.
Was it you or Diana did it?
I can't remember this one.
I know you've done the grey.
And then this bit out here, because this shouldn't be here.
This is why we got rid of the other one.
He won't just mess.
He was not following basic you know, health and safety.
So like I said, you're no good to us if you're a dickhead.
That's the only way I can describe it.
If you're a dickhead, don't bother.
Don't bother turning up.
But at the moment I've got some brilliant ones.
Oh, they're nice, aren't they?
Little clocks.
So yeah.
And then my new clock out here in the nights.
Shut the fire door.
Going to get another door there.
This is going to be sliding, but he had trouble with it.
Because we're going to put the ramp there.
So this.
Now you can get the lock working.
Oh, I've got my thing in there.
I was going to say we could keep the tight rows in there if we could get a lock on there.
But no, we've got the changing facilities in there at the moment.
Er...
But yeah, it's looking really good.
You know, bearing in mind how much stock we've got.
And how we've struggled because we didn't have good volunteers.
You only want one volunteer to bring it down.
See, one bad volunteer to bring it down.
We've figured that out.
Yeah.
So when you're coming through, guys.
End of the shift.
Shut the lights off.
Down there.
Give you a fire door.
You might need to shave that.
Shut that fire door when you come up.
Don't forget, we've got bamboo sticks here.
Turn the lights off and then come up.
Yeah.
Off we go.
