Sorry guys, I'm just gonna do a video of some more stuff because they've put more in the windows.
We've sold quite a bit at the wedding yesterday.
It's gone straight out today.
Try and come out a bit.
The gates have come.
We're gonna try and get them in, maybe not tomorrow because Friday is one of their busiest days.
We're hoping to get it done today, ready for Friday.
We've got a 60 with half price off.
We've got a PlayStation bundle but there's no discount on it and no staff discount either.
Where's the PlayStation bundle?
Oh there it is there.
We put it at 450.
It's quite a lot with that one.
But it's all quite the collectible stuff.
The PlayStation that everybody collects.
But that one would be 30 in the sale.
But they both be excluded from staff because they've only just been put in there.
So yeah, I sold some books today.
Got some new sets in there.
New clubs have come in.
Getting a lot of golf clubs at the moment.
What are they up for?
45.
So they'd be half price.
What about when you put up there?
Sometimes you've got so much it's difficult to see.
But you can see stuff have been sold.
There's massive books in there, that one there.
More books have gone in that have been signed copies and things.
There they are.
Pontypool and Blackwood open as usual.
We're still looking for someone to run risk after us.
More permanently.
Let me show you where we go.
I love that book.
That came in at the right time.
Just thought I'd show you what's in the window.
Got some little... oh can't see really with the sun.
That's the trouble.
The sun's reflecting.
Christmas is starting to go.
We've only got those two shelves.
I don't know if you can see them very well on the video.
But it is going.
I'll do it inside the shop now as well.
Teddies are going down.
Top sellers Teddies are.
That's why we bought the teddy cages.
He's going to glue them inside because look, they had a glue them in place.
Now we know they're good.
Some lovely vintage games for Christmas.
Some lovely Teddies.
There we go.
I can't see because of the sun.
Our jacket's just lovely.
That jacket is.
Have a quick look around the shop now.
We've gone out quite a bit.
There's some little jumpers have gone today.
Jumpers have gone well.
So still got a lot down this end.
But it is going slowly.
Chip, chip, chip away at it.
And there, you know, we got space in the corner there, which we never had before.
So we'll go.
There's still more room in that cabinet to put stuff.
And we can also put a shelf.
At the moment they've backlogged the shoes in there.
But we've got quite a few shoes to get through.
I won't put that there because it will get picked up and pinched.
DVDs have gone down well.
People are like, oh there's a lot of DVDs.
That isn't a lot of DVDs for us.
Because we have a lot of DVDs in.
So that isn't a lot for us.
Oh, it's nice.
So yeah, they've been a bit of a laid back day today.
Had to do some bits up there.
Didn't open this one.
And look at the books.
Look how de-share-able they are.
You can see that people are looking at them.
I need someone to come in now and like put them all back tidy and size, you know, size them.
And what have you.
We had a volunteer that come in.
I don't think she stamped them all with a return after you've read.
So that we can get another pack of nappies.
Because if you read it and you bring it back then obviously we can get some more.
We do get some back in.
The shelves now need a really good tidy up I think.
See they've got all the small ones there.
And they are flying out again.
I'm really happy with the books.
You know, because these were full.
These shelves were double stacked full and on top.
They definitely go in.
So I still got this nightmare of a nightmare of a travel cot.
Such a pain.
Trying to think what we can do with that.
Other than getting another rail in.
Unless, I know we talked about it before about welding another rail.
Roy, I don't know if you're listening to me.
Across there.
Be a bit lower.
On these four.
Because that would be another four rails for us then wouldn't it.
If we welded them.
Let me know if it's doable Roy.
They'd be dangling a bit down on the floor and you'd have the bar in the middle.
But it's better than them having them all over there.
I think.
Because you can't really look through it.
I know it's okay for storage but not for looking through is there.
So yeah it is going down slowly.
And now we've definitely had a footfall.
We've definitely had a bigger footfall.
I've got a graph ready to show you now.
You can see by the sails.
The sails have gone up.
That's nice isn't it.
Definitely had sails.
I don't know what they saw mine.
Without going through the book I wouldn't know at the top of my head.
But still loads of stuff up here.
This is looking wider.
That's good.
They're gonna work on that bit now.
Tomorrow.
And this is all the Christmas I have.
Right.
I've literally got like three or four items in Pontypool shop.
And that's it.
So if you're looking for a nice Christmas stuff.
Now is your time to get it.
Because it's not gonna be there.
If you leave it much longer.
Look at that red glass in there.
It's lovely with the sun coming through that isn't it.
I'm gonna have a look at the weight limits on these cabinets too.
And see if I can get a little shelves made in there.
Because of course we're not using the top of the cabinet are we.
So it's okay if you've got a big plate in there or something.
But I just think as you come around then.
You can see on the video then roughly where we go.
Something catches your eye.
You can pop in can't you.
Lovely items we've got again guys.
Really nice.
Really lovely stuff we have here.
And you know that.
Jar bars I think they are.
Certainly Jar bars.
I'm tired today.
I think it's the sun.
I think the sun has been shining on us today.
Another dress in.
Another wedding dress.
Lovely isn't it.
Nice one that one.
Proper white one.
Very crisp and white that one.
Be nice for like Christmas wedding.
Snow wouldn't it.
The coats are starting to fly out as well.
Especially in Blackwood.
We've sold two today.
You might think well two is not a lot.
But two is a lot for us any day.
Big coats.
So and when was I here the other day?
Yeah we had two or three went the other day.
You might not think that's a lot but it is.
Compared to how many coats we got.
So found a few more up that was donated.
Oh gosh.
That's what I'm owning today.
I'm off to Cardiff now to buy some more security tags.
Because the security things have come.
So he's got a he's got to put them up by year.
So you might not be able to do it tomorrow.
Because Friday is busy.
So he's gonna be putting one there and one there.
And then beep beep beep beep beep.
And then I'm gonna sit behind there with my taser.
Taser you.
And then any price whinger.
I'm gonna use the taser to taser you as well.
We're gonna add one this week.
And I think she picked the wrong day to come in.
Because I was here.
So like I said.
Like I said.
Don't whinge about something that's collectible.
Without you raising money for nappies and to feed children.
If you don't like it.
Don't shop here.
We don't need your custom.
If you're the price whinger.
We've got enough customers.
We've got lovely customers.
We don't need price whinging customers.
So yeah.
I've gone through quite a bit there now.
They're bags of toys.
If you bring in stuff for the Christmas appeal.
Oh isn't that.
Can you please label it.
Because the staff again a bit muddled with stuff.
And what I don't want is to put something out.
It's like you know being bought for children for Christmas off the public.
And we've put it out for tenner or whatever.
And you know somebody gets offended.
So can you say to the staff.
Give this to your mother.
It's for the Christmas appeal.
Alright.
Give it to Jayne.
It's for the Christmas appeal.
And write Christmas appeal on the bag please.
Thanks everyone.
