...sold anyway.
So I've cleared up a little bit but they obviously...
and then put the shelves up there tonight and see...
I can come back and look and think, right, well I've got two little fit from Ponty Pool or one little fit from Riska.
Now, don't forget I wanted extra ones down Riska, didn't I?
Umm...
Let me pick this up a minute.
I could do it...
I don't want to pay a lot of money for it but I understand everybody else is running a business.
Anybody got a van?
That would take this one to Riska for me.
Because that would fit in the gap that I want it.
But I wanted three IKEA cupboards but obviously I've used them elsewhere now, haven't I?
As well.
But then these ones are quite thin.
Oh, but they've got backs.
I wanted it to see through so you could see through it.
Right.
Okay, we'll have a think.
I'll think about that.
Don't forget all the computer games.
75% off.
Somebody had something smaller when I was in here.
So...
So tomorrow... tomorrow we're looking at Caerphilly, Pontypool and...
Blackwood will be open.
Riska, I've had to shut at the moment because I need somewhere...
If somebody can open Riska for me, you know, you can go down there because, you know, you've just got to take the sales down there in Riska.
And you can do it all on card machine.
But I need to open Pontypool because it's market day, see.
So we need to open that one up.
And we'll remain on 75% all week now.
Where are you, Paula?
Not much left up here now, it looks like it, but it's not.
Probably condense this.
Well, I could condense it into the two bits now, couldn't I, if I wanted to?
Because the baby area is quite spread out with the clothes, so we could probably condense it down.
Yeah, so we'll be down there this evening now in Caerphilly because obviously we want to sort some stuff out there.
So if you want to come down shopping there or donations, you can.
We haven't got many neighbours down there that work that late.
It tends to be those shops are open themselves, you know, but thank you because we know we've been working...
late nights down there as well.
And then they've got to give you the keys, haven't they, Carls?
I've got to remember to drop the keys off.
See how quiet it is now?
I don't know what the time is, but see how quiet it's gone with the footfall.
Lucy.
Hey, Paula.
Dress goes like really flat up here.
A guy I spoke to this morning, he said he didn't even know we were up here.
Didn't even know this part of the market was here.
He said I always go on the high street.
Well, I was just talking to somebody actually from Sight Cymru, and they said they don't get a lot of footfall down there.
I think if we were next door to each other, or thereabouts, I think that would work for me and Sight Cymru down there, because then there's two to walk down there for, isn't there?
But they said they don't get a lot of footfall down there either, because they said we've been watching your videos.
They're lovely down there.
We've been down there before.
I went down there once and they had Ladro, I think.
I always said to them that's Ladro, so they took it out the back.
Then he came back and said do you want it for 10?
I said I don't want it, I'm telling you it's Ladro, you can get a couple of quid from it.
Put it on 9, 40, 50, it'll go.
Oh yeah, I noticed as well, I had discount this morning in one of the shops, and I had discount yesterday in the hardware shop in two different areas.
So thank you for that guys, that's really kind, but I'm happy to do a 10% trade discount card if you're a shop around by us as well.
If you want to do that, I'm more than happy for that.
Thing is you don't have to, if you've got the card, it's like the over 60s, we've only got to say to you once, I will do, and we don't need to ask, because once you've got the card, you can just use it then, can't you?
So, hang on, Pontypool's messaging me, what do they want?
What are you up to in Pontypool?
Yes, we do, somebody asked for the anime, yes they did.
Yeah, who asked for the anime?
I still want to look at you.
Sorry guys, crazy busy we are, you know that.
No, I can't find them, I can't find them, I'll have to save them.
Yes, they've got anime in Pontypool, and I'm not sure where they got you, Chloe's the best one to ask about animes, that sort of thing, isn't it?
So, I haven't had my Turkish Delight ice cream yet, from Caerphilly.
Can't wait, we'll have it when I go down.
I've had no candy floss, running on empty.
I forgot that I've still got half my dinner in the microwave down there, so I'll have that when I go down.
And then wait for Dan to come down, and then he can help me with the glass cabinets.
And then I can start putting stuff out then, can't we?
Ready to rock and roll anime.
And then we can look and say, right, what will fit in the rest of that little back room?
Because we need one bookcase that will fit in the gap, where we've got a box, don't we?
And then we need one in... there.
And we could probably kit the children's area out with shelves, but obviously I need the shelves I've got left now for my books down there, so I can't...
I've only got two spare shelves now that could be used for only months or whatever.
But in that little cubicle, we could put shelves in there to put all the toys on, couldn't we?
Bang.
He said to me, oh, I'll have to ring environmental health yesterday.
I was like, what for?
What for?
What do you think they're going to do?
I mean, ring your rabbi!
Ring Superman!
Ring Jesus!
Nobody's going to shut us down.
Didn't shut us down today.
You've seen the mess.
You can see.
If you come in here today, you could see what it was like today, and we were moving furniture and all the rest of it.
I've got stuff.
I've got to take food off the food bank, which is out to date.
Staff will have that tonight.
I'll divide it up between them and...
rather than it go in the bin.
And we had stuff there and stuff there, and they didn't shut us down.
We were moving stuff into Cavillie, and they didn't shut us down.
We lied and said that we were sleeping in Pontypool shop, and we weren't even down there.
And they didn't shut us down.
Because they know now that all your complaints are malicious.
So just go away.
The other thing is, guys, let me deal with them.
Don't you deal with them, right?
I know you all want to say something, and I know you can't say nothing on the website because they delete your comments.
I know that.
But they ain't going to have anybody bragging us up on the website, are they?
Right?
And that's why they won't succeed, because they're not truthful about it, are they?
You know?
If they were more objective, they weren't so derogatory, then they might have had a chance of succeeding.
But they aren't.
It's nonsense.
She's got up today now.
Oh, she's got a PhD in biochem.
I never said I had a PhD in biochem.
You did.
You did, Sherlock.
Diploma, I got.
It says on there.
Diploma.
You know?
Stop trying to make me sound better than what I already am.
So jealous, isn't it, guys?
What have my volunteers said today?
You've been with us since the start, really.
Well, maybe a year after we started, and he said, so good.
And then he said, we come from our garage, and now we've got all these shops.
I'm really proud of that.
I said, yeah.
I said, and we stand up to all the bullies.
He said, yeah.
Yeah, we do.
We don't take bullies.
We don't have bullying.
So this poor guy by year has had a casualty.
If anybody wants him for free, pop in and carry him.
Oh, I dropped him.
Bits of snow now.
Bits of snow come off him into my...
His bum.
He's had a bum injury.
Just needs glue in, guys.
They might have super glue here, but if you want him, you can have him for free.
He's all right.
The tree's a bit crooked.
He's OK.
Your names are going too quick now.
Hi, Lizzie.
Hi, Emma.
I think he's packed all his suitcases, you know.
But the thing is, I need to know what room we've got now.
Because we've ended up with too many ornaments down there now.
We've got to get that equal balance, see, of what everybody likes.
You know?
I think he's only got...
All of those down there, they're £10 closer.
They'll all be £2.50, right?
He's only got this £20 rail left now, because obviously they've condensed.
So he's only got that left, £20, so they'll all be a fiver.
And then he's got quite a bit down here.
I mean, these are like our ones we know will sell.
We know Stitch will go for £2.50.
You know, like, look at that dress.
That's lovely, that dress.
What's that?
It's an 18.
That's lovely.
Look at that.
It'll be £2.50.
Bargain.
£2.50.
Like this.
This is vintage.
Where's it from?
Isle or somewhere like that.
So that would be £2.50 now.
Yeah, so come and get them, guys, because we've got so many.
Nice, nice, nice fabrics up here.
Oh, how is he still here?
He needs to be in the window.
You know, things like that.
It's lovely, look.
£2.50.
It's still cheaper, even though this is vintage and all the rest of it.
It's still cheaper.
Oh, there's a prom dress there.
I didn't think we had any.
But he'd be £2.50.
That's lovely, isn't it?
Somebody's looked at him, I think, because he's been pulled out.
It's a bit dishevelled in here now, isn't it?
They need to sort it out tomorrow.
Put him in the window.
I'm sure he'll go.
Look at him.
He's fabulous.
Absolutely fabulous, he is.
Oh, so if anybody wants to move this to Riska for me, I'd really appreciate it.
Because that's exactly what I need in Riska.
Exactly what I want here.
I wonder if Daniel can take it there.
Because I can get a base in my car, so it's the top.
I wonder if he can take the top apart.
Oh, there's an ear over there.
I love ear.
There's a tigger.
He showed a tigger today, he said.
He's in the middle of moving covers.
He's like, I want the tigger.
Nice.
250.
Look at that.
250.
250 for that.
Nice.
I know you don't really want it in the heatwave, but this is a bit dishevelled.
Then you'll have to sort this bit out.
Dawn's box looks nice and tidy, though.
They've survived.
They've survived, Dawn, your box.
I'm going round to show you what I've got left now.
It's got a bricker brak on it, which is the cheaper bricker brak.
That's nice, isn't it?
250.
Nice.
What's that?
Max... what was it?
Oh, I can't say it.
That's nice, isn't it?
I'm shopping up here.
Oh, I love this.
I don't think it'll fit me.
I absolutely love it.
Look at that.
I don't know where this is from.
It's nice.
I don't know if it's wool or...
Oh, it's just small.
But they don't look like they've given it to her.
Oh, that's lovely.
I really like it.
That's nice, this dress.
I would like this in the middle of a filly room.
Or in the window.
In the window, guys.
We'd have the uranium crevice down there, perhaps.
Oh, but then he might want it in blackwood if he's...
Still got to shop in blackwood down there, isn't he?
I don't know.
We'll have a think.
Have a think, won't we, guys?
Our tables hopefully go down anywhere.
Not down in the filly, unless we have one in the window.
It's better now he's joined the two.
A lot more space in our window.
We didn't stop last night.
It was me, Chloe, Sammy.
Done.
We didn't go home until...
Must have been gone 11, weren't it, guys?
Working, volunteering.
Helping the community.
You look at all these charities yourself, guys.
Look at them and say, well, what are you actually doing to help people?
You know, I...
I know a few people who have had help, off Site Cymru.
And they've said, you know, they're the best ones to help our charity.
So, you know, people with impayments that have said they're a really good charity, Site Cymru.
Look into the background of them before you donate to them.
Dusty up here now.
Looks all picked up a bit, look, but...
No loads, no loads.
I mean, today was market day and...
I don't know, they packed up a bit early for market day.
They pack up early, you know, it's...
it's quiet.
I have thought about, like, opening three days a week, perhaps, you know, instead.
But the thing is, it gives...
It gives mothers a chance to come in and volunteer when they're free.
It gives them...
It's not too busy then.
Like, it wouldn't bother me if we were open three days a week and we were really busy because they were the only days when we were open.
So, it was the only day that people could access us.
But then, it's laid back, isn't it?
You know, it's laid back, you can just wander in and say I'll have a pack of nappies, I'm just going to buy two items.
I'm just going to buy, you know, a baby item or something, or a book for the kids.
Am I OK to have nappies?
Oh, I'm bringing in some donations, can I have...
Have you got this milk?
You know, because if we were, like, three days especially in, like, Blackwood then it would be busy when... and if you've got to ask at the counter, there's going to be lots of other people, like...
But we've done it, see, because we know the lady, the big issue lady down by there, she's checked the footfall out for us and then we had our busker who went down there and he checked out the footfall for us down there as well and then Dawn have gone round on her secret missions to see where the best place is to be down there.
I'm pleased now, because I wasn't expecting to get our back room in Caerphilly up and running so quick.
So, I think we've done well there, part on the back time, because that was getting, like, the pile of doom, wasn't it?
So...
Oh, I need a spike for the washing line thing, didn't I?
I need a spike for the washing line thing.
He's done the door, the stripper, he found some stuff to put up there.
The strip.
Oh, here they are.
Oh, I've got £30 cash on me.
Lady bought a wheelchair, she's coming tomorrow.
Right, but she only had the cash she totally forgot and she couldn't walk very well.
So, we need to write it in the book.
And I also took £2 cash off a man that came in wanted.
I think he had learning difficulties.
He was buying a game set.
It was like a toy.
And I did say to him we've got card and he was...
We can fit this in and that's about it.
Yeah, we can fit it.
Yeah, yeah, put some ornaments in as well because I need to be able to fill them, but there's quite a bit down there, isn't there?
Right, we're going to go now then, guys, because we've got another one to go and we want to miss the Caerphilly traffic.
