Oh, I'm back on.
Right, I'm really pleased guys because I've got all the bags and toys out now and it's literally just little things.
Look at this.
I thought it was one of those eye masks at first.
I think we could definitely... you know like sometimes they do in the supermarket sensory baskets full of bits for people with autism.
We could definitely do neurodivergent baskets in the shop.
Because people love shops.
People, loads of people with disabilities love our shops because they're like...
it's just one of those things because they know there's everything in there you know.
That's lovely, I love them.
So I've got a bit more to go through now.
I found some chocolate.
So I've run the risk and I've eaten the chocolate guys.
The police that go back to me, they are trying to pursue it because obviously the nature of the threats and they watch it so they do out to make a statement.
So but like I said this family has had a warning before.
I had to go again because we have Blackwood customers in.
That was nice to see them.
Thank you for coming down to risk that to see us.
Yeah so they're gonna take a statement.
They've already got the stuff and then they send over a link now and then you send the link back.
So some poor police officer now will have to measure this guy's manhood now for the the police report I expect.
It's not very big.
Bring one of those little rulers out to get a Christmas cracker.
I won't worry about it.
Nothing to write home about guys.
Nothing to write home about girls.
That's why I didn't make a post about it.
Well this is brand new.
Brand new and sealed.
Brilliant.
We've got some lovely toys down here now today.
Absolutely lovely ones fair play.
I'm so pleased I've managed to get them out.
But you know when we have a good day.
When they see us doing a long live and it's positive and everything's running smoothly.
That's when they try and throw the spanner in the works.
Probably from Christmas I expect, don't they?
Oh I'm alright.
They're okay.
They're good.
They're good to go.
There's no date on them.
So we couldn't use them for the food bank.
Bye meet numbingstead.
Right this one's got a few haze stuck in the sellotape.
Well we're sealed.
Oh no we're not.
But still didn't find all the discs for the Thomas.
This needs a clean.
That's nice.
I think a vintage one.
We've got little ornaments in there.
We've got a grog as well.
I did this yesterday but I thought why can't I do a live of this?
Because we get paid to do the lives.
And that's why they're obviously starting today now.
With their old stories.
Because obviously we're making money from being on live just by Facebook.
But yeah there was a family member there.
Shannon's family member.
Always taking pictures of me when I was out in the car.
When they were walking past.
And pictures of the car and just being weirdo and sending it across to the pedo and things like that.
And just genuinely...
So that particular family's already had a warning.
So it wouldn't be like they're our customers.
And we know that our regulars and our normal mothers.
You can see through it all.
You can see through the bullshit can't you guys?
We've had a good day today.
We've had good donations then.
We've worked the donations.
You've seen us doing it.
We're running a live.
Where there fellas out there sending dick pics to people.
Oh I think I have a rule.
Oh no no.
No no it's for that one.
It's not a rule piece.
I see it's a hundred piece.
Oh it's quite a few.
So I've got 24, 48, 63 and a hundred.
I had a 500 yesterday.
But we only count the pieces unless I've got like a family that can do the jigsaws or like a... sometimes Jan's mother used to do the jigsaws for us.
And we've got a couple of people like who takes the jigsaws to nursing homes.
They do one for us and then tell us what's in there and dispose of the rest you know.
But they're getting the enjoyment of doing the jigsaws as well and they're volunteering but like from the nursing home.
So it's always nice isn't it?
Always nice but yeah.
See how like bits of hair get stuck in the jigsaws.
That's starting to be one of my pet eats that is.
I wouldn't want it to go out to somebody and then a mother have to pull out or a child.
Looks bad doesn't it?
So go through them.
Don't just pull them straight out.
You know the other charity shops too.
We've been busy.
Well it's afternoon like that we've been busy.
This morning there was nobody who was there.
I don't know what the other shops have done because I've got to deal with this online now and contact the bloody police again.
And yeah especially if the other two are making threats online guys.
The other two that's already under investigation.
Let me know.
So Pontypore is going to be open until about 6.30pm tonight because they obviously come in late this morning with a bit short staff.
We've had a few that's gone back to college and what have you.
And doing training courses and people have got their own lives as well I suppose.
So they didn't open until 12pm today.
Always check out Facebook because I always put it on there because I don't want you to waste petrol driving over to us and then we're not open.
But this one is friends.
This one has kicked off today now.
There's Shannon.
She's friends with a pedo look.
And of course he obviously gives stuff to his friends doesn't he?
But of course he can't get it in the opening because he's not charity anymore.
He's been CIC I think he was.
Which is a community interest charity but obviously he's lost that now haven't he?
So he's not going to be getting all the free stuff he used to.
So they're all losing their chains and their links to get all of the free stuff.
The free food, the free nappies, you know anything that's coming in.
The donations, food bank stuff, anything that they're getting grants for and all the rest of it.
They're losing all their sources now.
So they're losing their allies.
So everybody's kicking and screaming because obviously people are bringing it to us.
Because they can see what's going on.
They can see the narrative.
They can see what people are trying to do.
And they're supporting us.
We're getting more and more.
Like in the middle of all of that I've had four people message me that I've gone into my others box.
Because they're not our followers or anything.
So I didn't realise you were over there.
What were you doing?
Blah blah blah.
Oh it popped on tomorrow.
People with donations.
You know.
Oh I didn't realise you did this, this and this.
Because obviously people are nosy.
If they see something online they're going to go grab a tape and stuff.
Of course they are.
I'm nosy.
But like Jan said some of these people just sat on Facebook all day.
Doing bugger all.
There they are.
Nothing else to do with it.
Other than send dick pics.
No thank you.
I'm not interested.
Unless you're a builder.
Might give you the time of day if you're a builder.
But yeah showing themselves up now isn't they.
You know doing anything bad to us because we could rebrand tomorrow.
Not that I need to.
But if I wanted to rebrand tomorrow.
Or pick a completely different charity name.
Or just be a business and stop helping people.
I won't stop helping people because I don't want the money.
I want to stop these bastards from coveting all the stuff they get.
And only give it to their friends of selling it and profiting off it.
And my passion is recycling.
So you know two birds one stone.
You know I can't sit in the house.
I sat in the house for a little bit when I got ill.
It drove me nuts.
It drove me absolutely insane sitting in the house.
Waiting to die.
Couldn't do that again.
And I don't want to do that again.
So I need to keep busy.
You know and we're also helping other people.
Who have mental health problems.
Who want to get out of the house.
Who wants to socialise.
Mothers who are single mothers.
Who haven't got support networks.
They can come in and spend the afternoon with us.
Very often the mothers come in.
And they just come in just for a chat.
More than happy for it.
You know.
But what have they achieved?
You look at them and you think well what have you actually achieved?
On your own?
Not a lot is it?
And look what we've achieved on our own.
We've had one £1,000 grant off one of the councils.
And we've had discounts on our bills.
And the energy companies.
I always say to them look we're not a charity.
But we do this this and this.
And they give us the best tariff.
But that's all we've had.
We've had nothing else.
And we've had the Trussell Trust give us some stuff.
And the supermarkets give us some stuff.
And that's it.
We've done everything else ourselves haven't we guys?
Not just me.
Everybody.
The volunteers.
You.
Everybody.
And this is what they don't like.
Because look how many shops we've got.
Right, look at the portfolio that we've got.
Compared to somebody else.
These other charities.
That are registered and they're picking up thousands of pounds worth of grants.
Don't add up to it guys.
You know, do the maths.
Just don't add up to it.
Right, so which one are we on?
Pink.
24.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.
Right, so he's in there.
Right, so we've got red now.
48.
Oh my god.
I need to put my little bar on there.
Stopping from falling over.
I think I've found this Duplo.
And I think it's a Winnie the Pooh one.
Because I've got a couple of them.
And I've got a Winnie the Pooh and it's got a pot of honey.
So I think the Duplo I've got is a Winnie the Pooh set.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
21, 22, 23, 24, 25.
26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48.
So we've got the mermaid.
I have a mermaid shaped small paddling pool.
But a 2-3 year old as well.
I'll see if I can get a picture of it.
Oh it could be used as a ball pit.
It's in lovely condition but it's not in a box.
And it's been blown out.
I'm not sure if I'm going to cross the line.
But I've got nowhere to put it.
It is quite big.
Are you alright?
Give me a shout if you want me.
I like the bath.
I can't do the jigsaws and stuff.
Just give me a shout.
Let me see if I can find it.
There it is look.
Can you see?
It's like a big...
It could be a ball pit.
It could be a swimming pool.
One of my regs is in.
One of my regs my grandmother's.
It's very much in that box.
I should have my mermaid shout through the baby stuff.
Right what's the next one guys?
63 now.
I was doing the 500 and they kept dropping bits as I was coming to them.
And then I had people in the middle.
I was like oh no.
One, two, three, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ten, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty, twenty-two, twenty-three.
