Hi, you guys.
We're busy, I say thank you to Dan for shifting my fish tanks and the rest of it.
I'm on my way into Risca.
There's a new Risca and Pontypool open today.
We're still short staffed, but I have got new staff coming in this week, new volunteers, which I'm hopeful for.
And the lady has asked before, and at the time we were in the middle of transitioning and training two new people, one of which didn't work out.
So it was a bit... No, I can't have you in the store because I need to concentrate on these two.
But anyway, this lady's coming in and her daughter's coming with her, so that's a nice little bunch.
I'd like to just update about Gwyn, one of our previous volunteers.
Gwyn hasn't been very well.
She's had a rough time, guys.
She's been very unwell.
If you remember Gwyn from Big Risca, she was here two or three days a week.
The lady with the dark hair.
Lovely lady, very softly spoken, lovely friend of ours.
Like I said, she came in as a customer, became a volunteer, and you know, she's now our friend.
That's the way it works.
She hasn't been very well.
She is thinking of starting back.
We have said to her, you know, take it easy, but if you see Gwyn in Risca, or if you see her popping and say hi, she would appreciate it.
Especially seeing, because she's been off for at least a year, maybe even longer, 18 months.
So it'd be nice to see the update with the children as well, because she's a grandmother, you know, herself.
So it would be nice, because I was surprised some of the children have grown up so quickly.
It's crazy, you know.
We remember them babies coming in in pushchairs, and having to lift your pushchairs over the donations, you know what it's like.
So yes, so we're looking, Gwyn is looking to start back at Risca, but we haven't got any permanent dates for her as of yet.
Yes, you know.
If you've been a previous volunteer and you want to come back, that's not a problem at all.
It's not a problem.
Just give us shout.
So the other thing we've got now is we need, yeah, so I need more volunteers in now to crack on and do what else we're doing.
I'm quite hopeful after Christmas now, because we're on the run down to Christmas, and my focus now is to try and clear the shops out of how much stuff we've got already by selling it.
The only way to get it gone is sell it, give it away for free.
And plus, by New Year now, we're expecting to have the looting, which means we can pick up food collections, do other things, deliver stock better, so the donation centre will become more useful again because we'll be diverting all the donations there,
best we can.
So that's is we get the floor running in 2026.
Okay, we're on offer till 2026, you know that.
I think we can go ahead and guarantee that the baby clothes will be three for a pound minimum, 2026.
They're not going to go up, they're just going to keep going down in price.
So yeah, I don't know about guaranteeing the 50% off, but I mean, it all depends on the amount of customers.
If we get loads and loads of customers in, we can guarantee it, can't we?
I think he's having a pee going in.
