I've reduced quite a bit down - 16 Sep 2025 - (698 words) - Jaynes Baby Bank

I've reduced quite a bit down.
I sweep up a lot.
I've got more coming in guys.
We're not closing.
The Pound Shop give us these signs.
Have I zoomed in or zoomed out?
I can't see.
They give us the signs.
We're going to be putting them up because they work really well for the Pound Shop.
So we're going to be putting them up.
I've refilled this.
That's all free in there to our customers and donators.
Ok, so if you're a customer you can help yourself out of there.
This is lovely.
This will come in at the half price.
DVDs I've put up now for £10 for a pound because we've got so many.
I know any of our customers or our regulars can have some for free.
Mums can come and borrow some for free.
I'm in the middle of pricing these.
Records.
These ones I've put up for £3 for a pound because I've got more coming in.
Ok, I've got more due.
The clothes are obviously full of bags for £2.50 upstairs now because I want some of them down and £2.50 here.
But that's only in these shops.
So we've got full box, basket and a rail.
So we need to get them down now.
Because it's September, I'm already full with toys and I'm going to be more fuller with Christmas stuff.
Christmas stuff is flying out.
You might not think it because you might think, well it's full.
Yeah, but it's going.
You might not see it going.
But we've got baskets and baskets full.
And people are rummaging through the baskets and it's going guys, ok?
So don't wait if you've seen something on the Christmas table.
Minimal Christmas in the other shops.
We've pulled it all over here first.
Got some lovely tidies in again.
And then these are coming.
And these are coming since all these people that kick off online.
That's why they love it, buddy.
They kick off online.
They post it everywhere.
And then we get loads of new stuff.
There's loads of new done here.
Just coming in.
Look at these beautiful things just coming in.
Absolutely stunning.
Look at this.
Absolutely beautiful guys.
Stunning.
Taking care of so well.
Oh, look at that.
It's a little Yoda one.
All beautiful in there guys.
Thank you so much for your doing.
These are two boxes full I've got.
These are absolutely stunning they are.
Thank you so much guys.
Got some new books in.
So that's why we're doing buy one get one free on the books.
And to say thank you to our bookies.
Because we know you pay more for the books but the money gets ring fenced for nappies.
Yeah, so there we are.
So somebody made a comment today about you get all the food and the nappies from the supermarkets.
No we don't.
We buy it out of our fundraising.
Okay, the people who get the food from the supermarkets are the pantry.
If they're a pantry they get it.
And that's what we're trying to stop.
Food banks should be getting the food.
Registered food banks that give it out for free.
Not the paid ones.
The ones where you've got to go in and pay.
So that's what we're trying to put a stop to.
Because it should be going to a food bank that helps people in need.
So someone made the comment saying you're getting all the food for free.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
No we're not.
We buy it.
And I've got the receipts.
And I often post stuff on there.
We do take donations.
If people bring in a bag of stuff they do donations.
But right now we don't even do around the street collections because my knees are bad.
And I haven't got the time.
And my volunteers haven't got the time either.
So just to clarify that.
We pay for the nappies.
We pay for the formula.
And we pay for the food that we give out.
We do have donations if they're walked in with customers through the stop.
So just for you to be aware of that guys.
