Right, sorry guys.
Sorry guys, broke a bowl.
Taking out my wagers.
It's very thin.
Very thin in my defense.
I'm getting my tablets ready now.
What can you see?
Because I want you to see.
Because yesterday I was working all day doing stuff.
And I thought, well, some people are interested in it, some people couldn't care less.
And if you don't care less, I don't care less.
You know, if you're not interested in what we do, I'm not bothered.
You know, if you are, brilliant.
You know, come and volunteer.
Tracy, the bags you said you didn't want, can you drop them at my house?
The bags you said that were no good to go online.
Because I'll double check them.
Because in Pontypool we have a pound shop which has lower grade items in.
My perfume I'm using today.
Put a bit on.
I love perfume.
That's one of my things.
I want us to sponsor you.
Give me a shout.
I've got a bootie giveaway.
I've got to share it again.
I'm trying to find my tablets on my own.
I've got those ones.
The thing is, you see, we get paid to do lives.
I can't find them.
I'm just going to take those ones.
We get paid to do lives and we get paid more on TikTok to do lives.
So I've got to start doing them on TikTok as well.
But this is... I'm more comfortable on this.
So I'm in the process of sorting stuff out from yesterday.
This is what I mean about when people empty their toy boxes into bags.
And then we're left with like tons of stuff like this to try and sort.
I can be quite time consuming.
So please put the toys together.
I mean if that came in right, and it was just missing a bit, I'd just put it up for free.
I'll put them in the pound shop in Pontypool.
So he'd either be a pound or he'd be fill a bag for a fiver.
Because he's only missing that bit, isn't he?
You know.
So I wouldn't chuck him out with that because somebody might have fun with that or they might use it for something else.
They might use it for doing a craft item or painting it or something.
You know.
Jenga.
You know.
I mean how many times have we sold individual Jenga boxes?
People have lost them.
It's not sponsored by Pepsi Max.
Should we go through liters of it?
I shouldn't.
I need to give it up.
I have been drinking more water.
I've got an ice maker because of my pica disorder, my anemia.
I crave ice.
I eat buckets all the time.
But I've been putting San, I'll just say that posh water, San Pellegrino.
Now that has got like 800 and odd minerals and vitamins in it.
It's the best water you can drink if you've got something like a water infection.
So I've been tipping the bottles into my ice maker and it's...
What a difference that has made.
What a difference that has made.
It really has.
I haven't got...
I should be having about four bottles in my bottom of my bag somewhere.
See like that's coming up but it's dirty.
So that would need to clean.
This I need to check if it's all there.
Can you see me?
Yes you can.
Puzzles.
I've got this.
So this is what we do all day but this is where I need volunteers because I need to be off now, right?
And this I think needs a wash, look.
See?
It's grubby.
So that would go for the wash.
There's nothing wrong with him.
Nothing wrong with him at all but he needs a wash.
I wouldn't put him out in that condition.
I have this but obviously it's dirty, look.
So it needs a wash but this is what we're saying to, look.
This is the stuff that's coming in in this condition.
It shouldn't be like that.
You need to clean it before it comes in.
I know Christmas time is when we have an influx of things like this.
Some sort of tenty type thing.
And while we're very grateful for your donations, what we're not grateful of, that's cool, I think that's it.
I think that's how it works, is the amount of extra work that we have to put in because of the state of some of the stuff that comes in.
Okay, it's the state of some of the stuff that comes in is shocking.
I mean that's not, look.
That's lovely.
But like this is dirty.
The box, look.
The box is stinking.
We wouldn't put out like that.
We'd have to fix the box.
And yet sometimes we also get some beautiful stuff in like this but it needs to be checked.
And I, unfortunately, I can't take your word as a donator that you've checked that and all these items are in there.
We've still got to check it.
So when you bring in jigsaws and you say all the parts are there, I had to say yesterday about five games and they said all the parts are there.
They weren't, they're all missing it.
So that took up an hour of my time for a volunteer's time to sort.
So this is what we see.
See, things are dirty.
I don't know if you can see how dirty that is.
Children's books are the worst at the moment.
They're coming in and they're filthy.
Absolutely filthy they are.
So I told the volunteers now check the bags and turn them away if they're going to come in in those conditions.
There's a little bit of track there, a leaflet from something.
So I got about 10 of these bags which I bought already this morning.
A little pencil case.
Check what's in it because sometimes it's an acceptable condition.
And then at a time of the set.
That bag is no good but the actual bag is lovely.
This big one.
So keep him back.
So yeah, so this is my first bag I'm working on today.
That's cool isn't it?
I've seen one of them before.
So we usually google everything.
Check the prices.
But we've got a lot of stock at the moment.
We're doing people deals so I'm happy.
I'm confident with my pricing and my prices who are out there today.
And what they are doing.
Don't forget Pontypo is not open until 12 today guys.
I had two customers here come in as I was putting stuff out the front.
We just had a little luff around though.
And then they said they were going down to the other shop.
Cut the charity shops down here I see.
So like I said, you know, we give it all a wipe over.
We'd give it a wipe over anyway if it was toys like this with an hygiene wipe because you don't know if somebody's dribbled over it or had it in their mouths or something.
But the bag that I had that was already down here.
Daniel took it in.
It was bad yesterday and there's about five or six games and stuff and jigsaws and they're missing it.
So we've got to pay to dispose of that now.
So that would cost somewhere in the region of three packs of nappies perhaps.
The nappies are usually about four to five pound a pack each.
Somebody made a comment the other day saying nappies are only a pound.
Yeah they are only a pound if you buy size one and newborn.
But as soon you start going up the bigger sizes they're not a pound.
Shows how any.
They put that on the website.
Something is singing to me.
Something in one of the bags is singing.
So this is what we do guys.
Oh it's a nice bag.
A little like bags to display stuff.
I got a bit of shrink wrap here but obviously if I cannot use plastic we won't use it.
Rather use like a sealy bag or something or a vegetable bag because they're no plastic and they can be reused.
These are nice.
I don't know if they're like a certain character.
Yeah so somebody on the website was like oh yeah nappies are only a pound.
Yeah well that's if you buy newborn.
Newborns are always pound unless you buy a good one.
You buy the own brand ones.
Very rarely we buy newborn because we get so many of them because they grow out of them so quick don't they guys.
So we get so many packs of newborn donated.
I don't tend to buy them after sevens because you should be toilet training and we don't want to facilitate any body toilet training.
But we do get them in in bigger sizes and if they're on offer or you know then I will.
We should be encouraging toilet training as well you see.
So we don't want to not do that because if people can get nappies in eight nines and tens they're just for free and they'll just take them for free.
Simple as.
There's a lot to be said like some of our staff over the last year we've taken off sight as in out of sight out of mind and not so much as growing.
And we're like that's probably because they've seen it they want it or and like some girls said oh your food bank is crappy but are they anything there blah blah blah.
The food that you see in the shops is the five item top-up shop.
That isn't what the food bank is.
That's the ones the mothers can come in and say can I have nappies, can I have formula or can I have five items on the top at food bank because it's better if they've got older children.
When we started it was just nappies baby food and formula but then obviously mothers were coming in and supporting us and having older children.
And then we realized then you know that actually no this it isn't just a baby bank people need a children's bank too.
They need help with it with their entire family.
Oh no I've lost the best pen.
It's smudge resistant it is.
I kind of smudge my labels.
It's the only one I got that I got I've got quite a few of them but it's got to be a good one.
So 350 is our baseline price and then we put the date on restrictions for volunteers because they can't just take these have just come in so they wouldn't be able to take these on allowance today or they they wouldn't be able to buy them at 75 percent off because they've just come in so we ring-fence them for two weeks.
That was something that was picked up by environmental health when they were called out last week by the haters and passed us again.
She asked what the dates were and Sammy was there and she said oh well what Jane does is she puts a two-week date on everything so that it's fair so that the customers get a chance to come in and buy it at 50 percent off.
If staff want to buy it at 50 percent off they can but they can't use their 75 percent discount or their allowance on something that's just come through the door because the stock is for the baby bank to fundraise with because that's the that that is the aim of the game isn't it it's not there for staff to take straight away so like i said we try and do everything as fairly as possible this is fab i love this i don't know but we got hands and we're going to get more in so i'm not really looking to make any money off these items here and they'll be on half price spend 20
oh that's lovely i put 450 on it so it would be £2.25 today, if anybody wants it.
Or you could have it in the five items for the turnout we're doing.
It depends on whatever items you have really done it.
They'll work out the best deal in the shops too anyway, so you get it cheaper.
You won't be out of pocket with it.
I don't think that you need to be in shrink wrap because I could just stand them.
If I could not use plastic...
unless I dolly them to the bag...
Oh, they're bigger.
I'm going to get a little clear things for you.
Are you going to do the same...
Oh, I've been past it.
Not the best.
I don't think I need to.
I think I can just stand them on a shelf.
Or even in the window they might look good.
£3.50 for the set I done.
Oh, is it Hay Duggee?
Somebody have a... Oh, I can't see your comments now because I'm not looking.
What about the veg bags you can get in Morrison's for Asda?
Yeah, that is Hay Duggee.
How much?
What veg bags do you want about Katie?
Have I missed a comment?
What about the veg bags you can get in Asda's?
I don't know what you mean.
I can't get it to go back up now.
I don't know what you mean Katie.
Tell me what you mean about these veg bags.
I don't know what you mean.
That's lovely that is.
I think they'll fly out.
Yes, they are Hay Duggee.
I've put them up at £3.50 and obviously they'll be £1.75.
So what would they be in the shops, guys?
Let me know.
Right, so...
Somebody complained about the shops being overful with Daniel the other day.
Yes, they are overful.
Because we're so popular.
You know, I can't help that.
And I can't help that we're on a tight budget.
Because we've chosen to give all the profits we've got.
So what you could do...
99.9% of you do, is work with us.
And you understand why we've got so much stuff.
You understand the restrictions we've got.
You can see that we're waiting for... I might just do this as a start.
I might keep the fine liner back for the staff to write with.
Is that a pencil or a pen?
Or is it a frozen one though?
Oh no, I think it's a pen.
I'll just put them in there.
Oh, that's a better one actually.
Keep the pencils in there because we won't use them.
What you could do is work with us.
And understand how busy we are.
And understand what we're trying to do.
And have a bit of respect for the staff.
So when you come in you go, I'm claustrophobic.
Don't come in our shops if you're claustrophobic.
You know, what do you think I'm going to do if you come in and you go, I'm claustrophobic.
Do you think I'm going to go, hang on, let me move every single thing I got out of your way.
Or not.
No I'm not guys, okay.
So I don't know about veg bags.
There we are.
So yes, we will have a lot of stuff out.
And I am starting to put toys out as quickly as possible.
Because I think mums are starting to panic now for Christmas.
And they're going to be in and they're going to be looking for stuff.
So as quickly as I can get them out, I am.
Okay, that's why I've said to everybody now, concentrate on what we got.
Right, what should this have?
Pop-up mini, where's the list?
I don't know what I want about the veg bags.
Katie.
And I can't see now because I've like pushed the comments down and I can't see the comments.
Oh hang on.
What shop are they in?
I'm not going to tell you, it's a surprise.
Risca!
I wish I'd put the contents and stuff in one place.
I was like this yesterday.
I mean, yes, I'd go there.
Alright, so instructions.
Now a lot of charity shops, right?
I don't like to give stuff out if you haven't got instructions any more.
But my advice to you is if you haven't got instructions, you can do it.
Because that's just very wasteful.
Does it work?
Yes, it works.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
Alright, so it's all in.
So what we do then, because obviously we get little people in the shop.
Little people like to pull out things.
They like to pull things out of boxes.
So we make sure it's saluted up.
But I'm preempting tons of toys in.
We've already got tons.
We'll overrun.
It looks like a toy shop in every shop you go into.
So I'd write complete on that.
The date that the volunteers can't take it.
And then I'm just going to put 2.50 on that.
Because I'm pretty sure you can pick those up in town land.
I've seen them before in there.
I've got two great big old pull patrol things there that need a wash.
If anybody wants to do that for me.
If you want to kind of pick up these two pull patrol massive things.
They're full of dust in your good wash.
Right, should we have a look at this?
Now they all look nice, don't they?
Let's start one of them.
Oh, it's a Juicy Couture.
Juicy Couture one.
I used to have one of these.
I used to come in a wheel.
I used to come in a wheel when I was younger.
Do you remember these wheels?
Right, what should be in here?
15 mix and match plates.
Anything else?
Now if that wasn't complete, right?
So if you didn't have all of those items in there.
Another charity shop would get rid of them.
Right?
They'd be like, oh yeah, I've got the pencils.
Get rid of it.
I wouldn't do that.
I'd say, I've got the pencils.
This is what it's got in there.
This is what it's got in there.
And obviously we've put it down to like a pound or two pound because it's missing bits.
It's all inside there.
That's good because at least it's all in one place.
There's no problem in here.
Oh my gosh.
My finger's stuck in it now.
I have one black crayon that's just...
Oh, I think that could be the black crayon.
Might be.
There's papers in there.
Oh, look, somebody's already drawn one in there.
Yeah, it's to go over the outline of another black one.
So I'll take those out.
It's got a bit of the Juicy Couture paper.
But I mean, you could use any paper.
You don't need to use the Juicy Couture paper, do you?
There must
be a way to open this.
Oh, I don't know.
Did you slide it?
Oh, to be honest, guys, they don't look that bad.
I think it's been used, like, once.
So what did it say?
15 plates, didn't it?
One, two, three.
Four, five, six.
Seven, eight.
Nine.
Ten, eleven, twelve.
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.
So it looks like it's complete, but it isn't new.
Well, that's fine, isn't it, guys?
Because, look, how much would this cost?
It's probably been bought from TK Maxx.
Risk a shop, Katie.
Do you do Tombola with the toys?
What do you mean, do a Tombola with them?
No, I haven't got the time.
I get loads of people saying to me, why didn't you do this?
Why didn't you do this?
Why didn't you do that online?
I'm like, well, I haven't got enough hours in the day.
Because I'm permanently in a shop cleaning donations and putting stickers on them.
Oh, Daniel was there yesterday cleaning a carpet in Pontypool because he had a leak.
And it comes through the carpet and it's making the carpet smell a bit off.
Our landlord knows, but he's away at the moment, but he needs to do back.
So they've got to sort that out for us.
So bear with us in Pontypool.
We are away.
We've got a nasty leak.
And he has cleaned the carpet and it does smell a bit better.
But obviously it's an old carpet.
He's going to have to do it again by the weekend because it's raining.
So this would have probably come from TK Maxx like that because they have the Juicy Control contract under TK Maxx.
So, I don't know, what would this be?
Probably a tenner in TK Maxx, would it?
I mean, I'm in luck in a full pound 50, I am, because it's pretty much complete, isn't it?
I would say that's pretty much complete.
I wouldn't write on it, new.
If it hasn't got new on it, if it's not new.
Need volunteers over at Pontypool.
They've got pretty full little toys in.
This is lovely, fair play.
They've got lots of little toys that need cleaning.
It's so time consuming and they need the prices put on them so you can just go and sit somewhere.
One of our volunteers sat on the stairs, and cleaned the BBBs.
And...
Yeah, no problem, no problem.
We have got a lady in.
That's going to be recycling.
I don't know what I'm saying now.
I've been putting this one off, but let's just get it.
I've got two little figures there, but I might find some more in another bag.
So we'll just pack it in there.
Right, what does this need?
I don't think all of this is there.
I think it's supposed to have all of that, and I can't see that bit.
All the trains, only the truck.
And a little...
I think that's Lego.
And a little James back trailer.
But it could be in one of the other bags, see, couldn't it?
So, at the moment, we're track only with that.
So if it wasn't for something like that, I'd be putting that just with...
because kids love the tracks and stuff.
Anyway, even with all the other stuff, we're just right on it.
Not complete.
Pound.
It's only for £50.
That, we might find some more of that.
So I'll put that down.
I have a little pile.
Oh yeah, I had this yesterday.
A little fairy garden, it's got some bits missing.
So I'm just going to put them down here.
Because they need to be put to one side.
Right, so what was this?
Just a puzzle book, I think.
Isn't that just some sort of puzzle book?
Pound on it.
You know, somebody complained the other day, oh yeah, prices are really expensive.
Yet, for the antiques and collectibles, yes, they will be.
Other stuff is not.
You know, if it's a collectible item, of course the price is going to be up.
If you want to do a tombola with the toys, you're more than welcome.
We'll have 10 years in, it's only September, I can't believe how many we've gone out, so that's why we've started our offers early.
That's why we put Christmas straight up.
Christmas is flying out in Pontypool.
And we're getting the prices that we've put on there, because some of it's really beautiful stuff, so it's not cheap.
Oh look, somebody's done these jigsaws.
But I'm not sure if there's one that's missing bits.
And it's got, look, see how it's got the food on there?
Grease and food.
Another thing you need to check with jigsaws is sometimes you get hairs in the box from pets and other stuff.
Right, so it looks like there's just three in there.
Are these four?
Oh no, it's four.
I think somebody's put that jigsaw in there.
Yeah, so that's complete then.
That's complete.
It's got Sainsbury's Home on it, but I don't think it was from Sainsbury's Home.
I think that's off something else.
I think they just put that Paw Patrol jigsaw in there.
I'll hang on to the jigsaw bits till the end of the day, but I won't keep them indefinitely because if they're not in these bags then they're not with it today.
Keep them till the end of the day just in case you're in the bottom of another bag.
I mean, this is pretty much shellotape, isn't it?
Oh no, I've lost the best pen.
Maybe I'll put that one out.
I'll just sit down at some point, I think.
Right, so how have we got all of this?
I can't see a plug.
Is it battery?
I think it's a battery one.
Maybe obviously if it was an electric one it would need to be pat tested.
I'll go in there, in the donation center until it's pat tested.
Where's my cloth?
I think it's a battery one.
These little ones.
OK, so we give it all a wipe over, now we don't because we know that we've used a disinfectant wipe or something on it then.
I don't know if you get it.
I don't know if they do this in the other shops.
They might do if they keep any items.
It's got the bob in.
I don't know how much these are now.
Is it about £20, £30?
This is a battery one so it might be less.
I think you had the option to have a plug.
But I don't think we have the plug.
The last thing we want is batteries hanging around because that's when they
start deteriorating.
Don't they guys?
We don't product test everything.
Because we just haven't got the time.
But most of our items we get back if it's not working.
We're stopping for something else.
I need to clean the box.
Let me move this jig so it works.
So, update on the nasty girls that came in.
The police have taken statements off me.
Customers, staff.
They've got the CCTV footage.
And obviously they've seen the pedos video saying they've had a window smashed which weren't smashed.
Which we thought was a bit random.
Obviously someone was paid to do a job and didn't do it.
And they believe it's all connected.
With the same people as usual.
And we've got two police officers dealing with it.
Because we've got Torfaen police.
And we've got Caerphilly police as well dealing with it.
So, there we are.
Just bear in mind that if you come in and you create a room in our shops, the police will chase it up.
And don't forget that I am a vulnerable adult because of my illness.
And various other things.
So, if you decide you're going to attack me.
Number one, I've got a right to defend myself.
And number two, as long as I use reasonable force.
So me pushing you to the exit of a door is reasonable force.
After you've just attacked me.
you will be charged not just with assault but it would be assault of a vulnerable adult.
So there we are.
Good luck with that one.
Like I've said before 100 times, we have CCTV and audio in all those shops.
Also I think on the website, I haven't really been on it, on the website I think it said, oh she went to the police station on a Saturday.
Yeah, the police officer took me up there.
Just because it's not manned on a Saturday.
I don't mean to say the police officer haven't got access to every police station within their counties.
She took me up there to take the statement.
Because that's where the laptop and everything was.
So...
And obviously there's staff and customers that witness that.
So good luck.
We'll try to shut this down this week.
Nothing will work.
And like I say, if you give us grief online, then I'm going to give you grief back.
You know, why should I sit there and take it?
You know?
If you're going to go out of your way to create a problem for us online, then expect me to come and bother you.
You could just scroll past it.
You know?
You know what these people are like.
They've been doing it for years.
They haven't just done it with me.
They've done it with thousands of other charities.
Well, maybe not thousands.
They've done it with other charities.
Other groups have come out.
Tried to bully boy taxics.
To try and get them to shut down.
You know what they're like.
We're putting a stop to it.
Get over it and scroll on and we'll do something useful.
Mind your own business.
If you don't want to be
If you don't want to receive a review back off me.
If you don't want to receive a comment back off me or an emoji.
Because that seems to be a new thing.
They're putting laughing emojis over stuff.
You do realise we get paid for laughing emojis, don't you?
You do realise that the interaction you have with our profile pays us because we're monetised by Facebook.
Fools.
That's a biscuit for breakfast.
Not a go ahead.
I think they're like not like normal biscuits.
Like a McVichese type one.
So I think with this there's no power lead as such.
It runs on four AA batteries.
Doesn't say power lead with it.
I'm still trying to find out which charity shop.
I have a chance to go up Blackwood myself.
The one that was doing the video, that Debbie.
I'm selling him to Debbie.
Because it was totally premeditated.
Coming in video S.
And closed to be a customer.
That was totally premeditated that was.
I'm going to put the price on this.
So I'm trying to find out which charity shop she works in in Blackwood so we can go and do the same to her.
There we are.
Looks a million times better doesn't it?
So there's no power lead.
Does it say power lead?
No.
It's definitely a battery one.
Just optional.
Let me put a big circle around that.
Optional.
So that means you can buy a separate item for that.
I think I've done the one bag and I don't seem to have this.
So have I got everything from yesterdays?
Sort out.
I'm still waiting for this little Peppa Pig.
And I can do the Peppa Pig.
What have I got with this one then?
Let's see if we can do these.
These were different sizes.
That's all Mega Block.
So I'll keep them to the side.
Looks like a jungle Mega Block.
A cylinder.
Right.
So we've got one there.
We've got this one.
We've got this one here.
They were different sizes because I didn't realise there was two yesterday.
That one isn't one of them.
That's the moon.
I'm just trying to see how many we've got.
And we've still missing bits.
You see.
So we've got one of them.
That one doesn't fit.
That one does.
That one does.
That one does.
So we've got all of those.
We've got the star and we need a super.
Right, so these complete them.
These complete guys.
There we are.
We'll put them out.
So if I can get these toys done today.
We've only got the toys that's in the back of here.
They can go on selling.
See, can't they?
We're looking for somebody now to come and open up Risca every day.
Because obviously I've got other stuff I need to be getting on with.
You know, I need to be back in the donation center now.
Or back over Pontypool because that's what's taken a lot of our time at the moment Pontypool because of the amount of donations we're getting from Torfaen area.
But it's not going to be long and we're going to need a warehouse in Caerphilly for definite.
Let's have a look so they just fit together then.
There we are.
So we've got one, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
So we've got twelve.
Ten, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
So we must have them all.
So let's make sure they all fit.
But this is the time consuming part.
But this is the fun bit.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I'd rather be doing this an admin.
Of course I would.
Because this is my thing.
I like recycling.
That is my thing.
That is my autism.
Is my recycling.
And this is why the councils and everybody else work with us.
Because of the thousands of tonnes that we're managing to recycle.
Here we are.
So £3 that'd be £1.50 guys.
Which I don't think is a bad price.
It's not a bad price for you to pay and it's not a bad price for us to pay, is it?
Take this little bag thing that is in there.
So I think I don't know what I'm going to do.
I don't think I'm going to cut some more labels now have I?
Sammy's labels.
But she'd have cut them the other way to me.
Messes me up then.
Look, she cut them the other way.
Try and cut your labels as straight as possible guys.
So they look tidy.
I always fold them and then cut across the line.
We had all these labels given to us for free.
They're not my favourite ones.
I prefer the extra sticky ones.
Poundland used to do.
But This would be a 50p job this one.
I think they're only a pound of the pound shop full in there.
Probably put the date on that because it's not a problem if somebody wants something like that as a volunteer on their allowance.
We're doing two people down here.
One person can run this stop.
I've got to be honest.
It's small enough for one person.
You're actually in a pyrex dish.
That's what I've done now because the first thing I used I broke.
That's the only thing that seems to be working in a pyrex jug.
So it's actually got a good angle.
Best angle we've had I think.
Right.
So we've got the Jenga but I'm like...
I don't have the bits to it.
I don't think it's all there.
Jenga boom.
Oh no.
What's that?
It's a string or something.
I don't know what it is in here.
I think it blows it up this one.
I'm going to give us one of these before.
Set up the tower.
We can have this thing which is what we've got.
I think that's part of it.
So how many boxes should there be in there?
Oh, it's all on the bottom.
No, it doesn't say.
It just says that we have to go.
Does it say how many pieces do it?
Oh yeah, it might say on the back here now.
So we've got that motor racing.
Does it say how many pieces?
I bet Helen would know how many pieces this could have because she does a lot of games.
North the top of her head.
Trademarks.
I don't say.
How many do you put it up in?
Is it threes?
If you were building it, would it be in a three?
I think it is in threes, isn't there?
Doesn't look like it's going to be very big, does it?
But then perhaps it pictures a bit.
See like this has got bits of hair on it, look.
People's hairs.
Just pull them off.
I think it is about twenty quid these things, isn't it?
To buy new.
Still got loads of games in the shops, guys.
So just go to the shops and pick them up.
I think this block's missing.
Out of that.
That's what I would say.
So we'll wait, because we might get more in, or somebody might just buy it as extra.
We'll find out with a Jenga.
Or it might be that we get a cheaper one in.
And that can go with it, but we'd write on there that it's not all Jenga pieces, you know.
Just put a quid on it or something.
So what about we type in?
See that's at least three items.
Four with this thing.
That's a little leg that would have gone in the bin by another charity shop or second-hand place, because it hasn't got all the bits already this morning.
Now, we haven't binned it yet.
It's over there waiting to be dealt with.
Right, I've got to go and get another bag now, guys, I think.
Two seconds.
But I'll come back, you're in charge of the shop.
Massive bag.
Fellas, you see me struggling right now, so you just help me with it.
Why won't it stay today?
Huge bad mix, guys.
Huge one.
In the sink I've got some beach stuff.
It's full of sand.
I've got to wash all of that.
I'm very grateful, but can you wash it before it comes in, please?
Let's have a look at this.
See if there's chocolate in there, might be able to date two things at once.
If it's been used, it might not have been cleaned properly.
A little stitch bag.
What's in here?
I bet my finger's lifting this bag.
Let's have a little stitch bag up.
I'm sure somebody will have him.
Be more stitch.
Might be at the bottom of the bag.
Oh, little peg fairies.
Is it all there?
Yeah, most of it's there, I think.
What I tend to do is make sure it's sealed.
Make sure it's sealed.
So I think it should be three as we run in there, so...
There we are.
Come down by there and I'll let you take a pile out and we'll go right.
I like these things.
Especially in the pastel colours.
I'm a big pastel-y person.
Today's award goes to...
My finger!
It's on this bag.
I lifted it.
Oh my god, it's huge.
We've got a tunnel.
Let's get loads of these in.
Go over there.
Put some of the books out at the moment.
We've got a chippy doll.
Chippy doll.
Oh, we've got another one of these things.
Get loads of these in.
Perhaps I should have this.
Don't bother me in the mornings.
So I've had four litres of Pepsi Max.
And 18 spoons full of sugar.
Check them.
They're usually cheap though, I've seen them.
Open about.
Oh, I love these things that come in.
They do a sentry box, I was thinking.
Because we get loads of sentry stuff in.
Four people have all chosen.
Put some headphones and stuff in there.
I can buy some headphones.
Oh, these are nice.
I think they're the best for a horse.
To go on a horse.
Don't stick them on your horse, please.
Disclaimer.
They are horse ones.
To go on your pencil.
Oh, we have a little dress.
But it's ripped.
We might be able to dress our little doll.
But it looks a bit dirty, doesn't it?
So that would probably go in the wash for my mother.
Currently we've got a little box for dolls clothes.
But we're starting to collect them up.
And she's going to start putting them on cards.
Well, one of us will wash it.
Oh, but he looks like a Thomas the Tank, not a Paw Patrol, doesn't he?
And then we have that jigsaw.
That was in a bag.
I'm going to leave it out in a bag.
There we are.
Nice clean bucket and spade.
I've got a sink full over there that's full of like dirt and sand.
Please clean things before they come in, guys.
Otherwise we're going to have to start refining them up.
What is this thing?
Oh, he looks a bit sick, doesn't he?
He'll be alright though.
Put him up.
Because somebody might take those off as just Easter Decks.
Worst case scenario, we give it away for free, innit, guys?
That's the way I look at it.
Oh, it's an old fashioned one.
I think, Fisher Price.
I've got a doll's bag, but it's dirty, look.
So, washing.
These little things always go well.
Do you see like the haze and stuff that's on them?
Oh, it's a nice little bag.
A little girl.
Not too bad.
What's he like inside?
Because if they spilt something inside, it would need a wash.
I think that's a nice little one.
Oh, no, he's dirty on the front.
We just shove them in the washing machine.
I've got quite a few bits in here.
I'm going to preempt that the items in here are going to be dirty.
So, anything that's clothed is going to go straight in the wash.
Oh, a little mouse.
Oh, Tamagotchi.
I don't know if he's a real one.
Remember them?
A little little purse.
Oh, I think everything that comes out of the other material I'm just going to put straight in the wash.
To do with people to brush haze on dolls, because right now we haven't got time to do it.
But look, can you see this has got like some sort of just that'll have to be washed.
That's not too bad, I don't think.
I think that one can be wiped over.
But again, it's how much itty-bitty stuff and how long the itty-bitty stuff takes to sort.
I mean, this is quite a big bag.
It's going down quite quickly.
Especially if you've got games in it.
Yeah, it's going down quite quickly.
Some little stockings there.
Got one of these things.
Definitely skipping things.
That's not too bad.
I think I'll be OK.
I don't quite get a lot out of it.
Oh, look at that pony.
But yeah, we could do with people taking the stuff to brush their hair.
I wonder if he lights up.
Oh, this is an old one.
So this is what we would put in vintage.
So this wouldn't be £3.50.
We'd probably get quite a bit flat depending on the year.
It's a bit broke at the back.
But it would still go quite well.
So when people come in and they go, get out the vintage section!
Nice.
Nice.
You know, if you don't want to buy vintage stuff, get out the bloody vintage section.
If it's in a glass case, it ain't going to be cheap, is it?
Think about it.
Why would I put it in a glass case if it's going to be cheap?
And the note, because it's all itty bitty stuff, and the note, ooh!
I think it's a metal Ron Weasley.
I wonder if I've got a little cat for you.
I have!
Ooh, I've got another metal figure.
I wonder if it's out of the game or just collectible.
And I've got a little playset.
Ooh,
make a wish!
Make a wish, guys!
Wish these heaters disappear.
And let us get on with what we're doing.
Mind your own business.
If you don't like what we're doing, mind your own business.
That's lovely, isn't it?
Check your pockets because you never know what you will find in a bag.
There we are, something like that, I'm sure.
A lol one, a lol satchel.
That's nice, isn't it?
It was yesterday, it was tipping down yesterday and people were still coming in, but quite something to do.
Swinging around the boats in a day, especially in retail at the moment.
I don't know what this is, but it's all in one bag again.
Oh no, it is separate things.
Oh no, it's glass, it's in a thing.
Bubble wrap, I'm low on bubble wrap, guys.
If we could bring some bubble wraps down first, or this stuff.
Yep, like that.
I've got a little tube game and I think I got some cute parts elsewhere.
This might be a duty.
Also more of these things.
Filled up my little counter.
That's a problem.
We need it at the bottom of this bag.
A couple of big games have got to be checked.
It was a bit off-putting, seeing a big bag like this.
Also, when you fill them up, guys, try and remember the staff got to lift them.
It's another Thomas's Hand piece.
It's not a poor control that ever one we got.
Right, there we are.
The giant bag has been emptied.
Let's get the washing all in one piece now.
So it's not all over the floor.
And I hate to say...
Oh, she's checking washing on the floor!
How are we doing there?
I'll bring the washing, please.
Did you see him?
Straight away, the pedo on them.
These videos.
Oh, I'm bringing HMRC!
You can't bring HMRC on a bloody drug dealer, you fool!
It's unethical!
It's unethical for the government to charge a bloody drug dealer tax!
That's the whole point!
Who is sticking
labels that they've taken off things all around my kitchen?
Who is doing that?
Shatter now after that bag has loads in it!
Right, what have we got, guys?
We've got these little chippy things, like little...
Oh, I've got hundreds of these gloopy type thingy-ma-diggies coming in.
Hundreds of them.
I've got a pile of them there, because they need to be washed, but they need to be soaked.
Because you can't put them in a dishwasher machine, you know, those bowls that squish up.
These are covered in haze.
That's the trouble.
Can we rescue them?
See how much... See?
Right, give me some advice.
Don't ever buy loom bands.
Don't ever buy these sticky things.
Don't ever play them.
Let them play with them in school and nursery.
You can't see what I'm doing now, because I've got so much work.
I'll give you half of it, and then at least you can see what I'm doing.
I don't know what this is, though.
How do they...
I don't know what that is.
It hasn't turned up yet.
Whatever that is.
But, like, we couldn't just package that up and send them out.
And expect the mother to even pay... Well, I wouldn't.
If it's got, you know, if it's got kids' hair on it,
you know, I wouldn't expect a mother to be happy with that.
See?
But very often in board games and jigsaws is his, so make sure you're checking them.
I had a couple of volunteers in the other day and they're like, oh, it looks like it's all there.
It doesn't matter if it looks like it's all there.
You need to check it.
Because if you don't check it, and I've charged for it, and somebody takes it home and it's not there, that could be a bad review for us.
And I feel bad.
Other places don't check their jigsaws.
They just put a price on them.
And I would feel bad selling something that we haven't checked.
Ninja wall crawlers, these are called.
That's what the donation center was for.
We see all the donations for there, and we work them there.
But it's full with all your donations because you're such good recyclers.
All right, for stock and filler, are you ready?
Checking these guys.
But they will pick up all your ears around your house, I expect.
This doesn't
seem...
Where is it going?
I have no idea.
This doesn't particularly feel a very expensive one, so we'll probably put like a pound to pound on it.
It doesn't feel like a very, you know, death by skipping.
Do you still remember these things?
I think they light up as well, don't they?
Death by skipping.
It's your responsibility to put crash helmets on your children.
You have got to sign it.
It's stupid in here.
It's health and safety gone wild in here, guys.
If I had another bag, I'd separate them so we could have two bags for them.
I haven't got anything in here.
I had little bags in Pontypool.
If ever you get any of those little tealy bags, you can get like little ones like that.
Any little bags and stuff.
Just check them in the bag so we can go and get them.
Because we can use them for bits and bobs, you see.
Yeah, I had quite a few questions back and forth.
So I think we're quiet for today, though.
Got one of these bottles.
Sometimes on the figures, guys, we place them up like five pound each.
And people will be like five pound for that.
There's a reason for that, okay.
It's because of the boy men.
The boy men come in and buy you the figures.
And then try and resell them.
So we charge them the price that they should be paying for a collectible item.
But the mothers know, right, so if that was up for three pound fifty for a set, right, they know if it's a child in front of them with a mother to charge less, right.
But otherwise we'd get resellers in buying the children's toys.
There's enough stuff to resell online without buying children's items.
And they get on my nerves.
So when we have things like power rangers or helks and things like that, obviously we're going to put the price up on them because that is what the boy men want.
And if they want it, they can pay for it, can't they, and support the baby back.
I'm not putting dates on these because they're like little things.
So if a volunteer wanted to take that as part of their allowance, I'm not worried about that.
And I don't think anybody'd be grudging having a free skipping rope with you.
I don't know if that's a set.
This little thing can go out, can't it?
Our little thing.
50p on him, is it?
A lot of people still don't realise we're in Cofiddy, guys.
A lot of people still don't realise we're up there.
So can you spread the word?
I need people to post leaflets.
If my knee was good, I'd do it myself because I am bothered.
Like I'd put a documentary or something on
See, now we wouldn't put like a pound on that because a reseller, I don't know whether it's a Barbie or a Cindy, I don't know.
But, it's a 2011 Mattel, right?
But that's what I would write on it.
But that wouldn't be that price for a boy man, for a reseller.
So I would be writing on that.
2011 vintage, because over 10 years old or from a certain period his class is vintage, 20 years is antique.
And I'd write on it collectible.
So when the boy men come in, right?
They know, that I know, that they're going to be buying that with some sob story to sell online.
They'd still be entitled to the half price, we don't stop them from having the half price, but they don't have the offers.
So that wouldn't be with the toys, right?
I wouldn't put her in the toy section, that would go in a cupboard, in one of the toy cupboards, so that when a mother comes in, they know we've priced it dearer, and they haven't got children saying, oh I want that, I want that, I feel guilty into buying it,
for the price that I've put on there.
But if a boy man comes in, and a reseller, they can pay the £2.50 for it, can't they?
Because they'll probably get £15 for it by the time they wait to sell it.
Like this one.
I didn't realise they had dates.
So I'm 2015 this one.
I mean, yes, they've had their haircut.
But, like I said, I'm not targeting this at a mother with a child.
And the staff know to take the price down.
They know to take the price down if it's genuinely for a child.
They know in advance, but obviously we don't advertise that, because they'll come in and they'll drag kids in with them, to get it cheaper.
Cars always sell well, but again, they always sell well for the resellers, so we always put those up.
So if that's just a cheaper make, is it this thing that went off?
I don't think this is a real tamagotchi.
Oh, and it hasn't been pulled.
The battery hasn't been pulled.
So let me just take that.
So that somebody doesn't pull the battery when they're in your looking at it.
And then the battery starts waiting down.
And then this ring pop thing.
I'd sell a tape of that so we don't lose the figure.
And obviously we have warnings up in the shop that things that are small parts are not suitable for children 36 months, which is a...
Oh, it's this thing.
No button.
Oh my god.
They don't go out all day.
That is something a reseller would probably look at, so we'd probably put them up quite dear.
Well, dearer than what a mother would pay.
Put it that way.
I get on my nerves when they like buying kids toys to sell on.
There's thousands of other stuff in there that they could buy.
Oh god.
We do quite well on toys with the boy men.
That's why I tolerate them.
Oh, there is a mute button.
We do quite well.
Oh, I probably won't be able to stop going off.
Not a chance to check all the comics, guys.
It's all the pastel ones, look.
They're like a... they're Magnatex or something, aren't they?
Or that sort of brand.
They might need to be put in a plastic so the bits don't come off and sort of get kicked into things in the shop, because it's that type of thing, you know.
I don't know about pastel.
I don't even know what my pastel is.
I think it was on the website.
Somebody said, oh, she always eating in her videos.
I'll do it more.
I'll crunch a bit more, wind them up with it.
I guess I might know who's eating in her videos.
But don't lie, you then, and tell people I've had bloody plastic surgery on the website.
Remember that?
When they said I'd had facial reconstruction surgery and all the rest of it, so I didn't look like the person they said I was.
Instead of just admitting they got it wrong.
They're like repelling as well.
Look, I'm trying them the other way, but they're still repelling.
But even though they haven't got a box or an instruction leaflet, it doesn't mean they're not useful.
It doesn't mean they're not useful.
See, I said it would go under something, but it's gone under the microwave.
I need like a bag or something for them.
I've dropped the food, I'm sure.
So we've actually got the video of those other girls from their perspective.
Shulock actually posted it on his website, and I managed to get it off.
So you can thank him for that.
So not only do we have our CCTV, of them coming in, posing to be customers, and then kicking off, we actually have their sets of CCTV, their sets of video recording they did, and oh my gosh, they look horrendous.
They look and sound horrendous in the video.
You have not done yourself any favors with that whatsoever.
And like I said, if you don't like what we're doing, you don't like us, scroll.
Go somewhere else, support somebody else.
No skin off my nose.
Because I'd still be doing this, no matter what.
I'd still be recycling like this.
If I didn't have any customers, I'd still be doing it.
Because this is what I like doing.
It's recycling.
Bags, we usually do about £3.50.
And then of course they'd be £1.75.
We're on half price until 2026.
And January of 2026, at least half price.
I think that spend £20, get another £5 worth of stock is a good one for us.
That seems to go well.
Because of the amount of stock that we get.
And nobody else is doing that.
So...
Nobody else does an offer like that.
And it also gets rid of excess stock for us.
Doesn't it?
So I think we're going to get posters made up with that.
It's quite difficult to get.
Especially when we're half price of 75% off.
It's actually quite difficult to get up to £20.
In one spend.
In our shop.
Do
this one as a set.
You can see how time consuming it is when the items don't actually fully need wiping over and cleaning.
It's time consuming anyway.
So when we've got to scrub everything down.
You can see how it doubles, triples the amount of time it takes to work the donations.
This is
quite an older one I think.
Looks like something even went off of fear or something.
So because of the age of it most charity shops etc wouldn't be able to sell that to children.
It's got a warning on it.
Okay.
But what I would write on that is vintage item.
So the customer is fully aware of the barriers in the toy.
Okay.
And the price.
That's another price of a mega.
If I put that up for a tenner and wait it, I would probably get a tenner for it.
Someday.
But you know, we need a quicker turnover of stock as well.
Because of the amount we're getting.
And somebody might buy it for somebody for Christmas now and have a bargain.
Don't they?
But they're fully aware that that isn't a toy.
No.
Because it's got that written on it.
And because we're not a charity shop governed by the Charity Commission we are able to do that.
Because we sell vintage items and collectable items.
We are able to sell them under that umbrella where those charity shops are not.
I think it's, well it's ten years yet because it's vintage toys.
It's ten years isn't it?
Everything that's vintage is ten.
And that's a little bead of something.
I've seen that yesterday.
So...
Any toy over ten years they wouldn't be able to sell to a child.
Cars are always one of our top sellers by the boy men.
So they will always be dearer in our shop cars.
So...
You might be able to go down the road and get one for a pound.
But in here we would tend to put them in a cabinet.
Even these chunky ones.
But we wouldn't...
What's supposed to be in there?
It says one of those fingerling things, right?
But I don't seem to have the toy.
I have a long cat.
Or dog.
A normal cat.
A genie.
And a couple of weasleys.
Oh, what's this?
Oh no, that's a loll isn't it?
That's one of those lolly doll things.
So we'll see if we're going to have to be sold without the item.
I'm going to watch some of these tagging pictures of what it's supposed to look like.
Let's send me a picture of that.
Oh, we don't waste a second bag when I'm tired though.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to be pressed out of the car and then come back online so you can listen to me waffling on.
If you don't have to.
It's not compulsory.
Like I said, if you don't like us, go.
But then other people enjoy the live videos.
They enjoy watching what we do.
That's quite a nice set for them.
I'd probably put them up for five.
And then we'd get two fifty.
And I think that's not a bad...
It's not a bad price.
Because there's no box or instructions.
But two pound fifty for us is good.
And then I think two pound fifty for you guys is good as well.
But like I said, this is the fun part.
But...
It's got to be done a certain way.
We don't want people to just come in rip label, shove any old price on it.
I mean, I had one that was a white plate and they put on it, vintage plate, 1981, ten pounds, rip label on it, scruffy.
And then...
We were like, well, how do you know that isn't an Ikea plate?
I mean, we researched it.
They just looked old so they just put a ten on it.
So, something like that you wouldn't be able to price.
But...
You know, we could give you a pilot like a box of stuff and say you need to write three pound fifty on all of those.
But don't just price on your own unless you are without designated prices.
Because it is a legal requirement.
So is going through everything like this and checking that it's not broken or hasn't been recalled or anything like that.
Look at loads of these pig things and they never have anything in them.
I don't know if they come separately.
They hardly ever get any of the equipment in them.
They never get anything in them.
So even the stuff inside them is junk.
And it just breaks really easily.
Perhaps he gets put in the bin or perhaps it comes on his own.
I don't
know.
I can't get it to come back in.
So he really probably put it up for a pound.

I'm taking part in our live this morning.
I don't know if I've missed any messages that I've tried on.

The material we use at the bags instead of using the plastic.
What we buy Katie is the vege bags in Asda's and all.
Because they're like 25p.
Or if anybody wants material to make us them.
But they've got to be transparent.

I'm going to go and get my pasta now guys.
See you in a bit.
