So, hi guys.
I'm in Risca today.
It's lovely and quiet.
It's so quiet down here.
I love it.
So busy in Blackwood.
It's like a sensory overload.
It's like...
So, we know we're low on clothes down here.
I've got one volunteer in hospital for a routine operation, so we wish you all the best.
And if you need anything, just let us know.
So, and then I've got Eileen and Billy off.
I've got Barbara who's new over in Ponty Pooch doing a smashing job.
Brilliant.
I need extra volunteers in Blackwood.
I need two volunteer managers from Monday to Friday.
It's very, very busy up there.
So, one of you can even do three days.
One of you can do two days or you can overlap.
I don't mind.
Weekends are covered up there.
I need a weekend manager now for Risca, because Hannah's moved up to Blackwood.
It's a bit easier for her.
Oh, we've had a few customers in this morning down here.
Dan's doing the food bank room.
I had to get some wood to do the food bank room in there, excuse me, yawning.
We've got lots to 12, or two to three years low, but 12 to 24 months.
We've got quite a bit, actually, in there.
So, I do in the video now about the books, because we've had some more books donated.
We're asking things like £3.49 a book.
So, we're asking the reading community of the UK, because we can post books.
I can't post bric-a-brac, because it's going to get broke.
It's going to be a nightmare.
Plus, I'm taking on a book manager, a volunteer book manager, to deal with this anyway, to deal with the posting and the pricing and the sorting and everything.
So, if you pay £3.49 a book, at the moment, that's the cost price of the nappies that we're getting from the supermarkets.
Plus, they always chuck in a few damaged packs or whatever, because they know it's us.
So, some of the books end there.
I've looked at them and I've gone, oh, that's a really old one, £1.
The same with the media.
DVDs are a pound.
We know it's dearer than other charity shops, okay?
But we're doing it to inspire the reading community, the media community, records, DVDs, CDs, to help us towards nappies and the food bank.
So, that's a dictionary.
Don't ever buy a dictionary, you've got boxes full of them down here.
So, yeah, we put a pound on that one.
I can do it anyway.
We could do that for £3 with a box.
It's easy, isn't it?
But that's what we're going to do now, is appeal to the community of the UK.
I don't know, I'll probably be able to post to Ireland, I would have thought.
I don't know if there's anything extra I've got to do for Ireland.
I've never posted to Ireland.
So, I wouldn't know.
Every time I've sent stuff to Ireland, it's been via Amazon.
So, yeah.
So, that's why we're asking more than other charity shops.
I know some charity shops only charge a pound or 50p.
But we're asking the reading community and the media community of the UK to support us by buying books from us at the price of a pack of nappies, while we get them at the price of a pack of nappies, so that we can support.
So, if you read two books in a week and you bought more for us, that's two separate families you've supported in a week.
So, let me know what you think about that.
Thanks, guys.
