I'm on the floor, guys.
I'm about to have a sit down.
I'm using a mug off the... baby mug off the thing, because I can't get out the back because we've got so many donations, but this jig still got dropped, so I was like, oh, have I got all the bits now?
I don't know.
So I've got to check it again.
I've been busy, so I'm having five minutes with a Pepsi Max and doing a jig, so I haven't stopped since I got in here this morning.
So I've been busy, busy, busy.
Benefit people rang me this morning.
They said, oh, Jane, your fan club's been on the phone again.
Where is the influencer money being paid?
I said, oh, right, I can send you that now, not a problem.
The influencer... and obviously I can put this on as frequently answered questions, because as the influencer, I am entitled to the money because I am the influencer.
Yep.
However, I don't want the money.
I'd rather it go towards the baby bank.
And last month we had quite a bit from the haters, didn't we?
And it was used to pay Caerphilly rent.
So brilliant.
Well done to the haters and all of our followers and everybody else.
This is why we tell you to interact with our posts.
So when you see the icons on the side on this live video now, just keep tapping, just keep tapping, like, like, like, like, like, like, just keep doing it, because the more you do it, the more it boosts our algorithm, the more Facebook pay us.
So I said, hang on, hang on, I said.
It went to Caerphilly shop, rent.
So they said it's going through the baby bank.
I said, yes, and it went through.
It's always cashed out straight into the baby bank account.
Only one baby bank account we got.
And that's where all the money that goes.
I said, but I don't want the money.
And they said, well, you can, you can earn up to so much.
I said, yeah, but I don't want it.
You know, the whole point in this was to for me to be able to do my recycling, take down these wasters and show people exactly what they're like.
And I, you know, what I get out of it is recycling things.
That's my autism.
That's what I do is I recycle.
I don't like to see things going in the bin.
Most charities would have just been this.
They've like been it, especially as fiddly bloody thing like this click together for Christ's sake.
So, yes, anyway, I sent her that they're more than happy with that.
But can you see like how ridiculous these people are?
Like ringing up saying, I'm keeping all the influencer money, which I'm entitled to.
I am the influencer.
You know, I am the paid influencer, but like I said, I don't want the money.
I'm not here for the money.
Maybe, maybe 10 years time, maybe I'll need the money and I'll have to have a paid salary.
But right now I don't need the money.
I'm happy on the bread line with everybody else.
And so it was just really a dig at the haters because obviously they said, oh, that's not a problem.
Don't worry about it.
We can see it's going into the baby bank account.
So it will be classed as fundraising for the baby bank, which you are entitled to volunteer.
For your mental health and to keep you going and your well-being.
And there's nothing anybody can do about it.
And if I wanted to take X amount, because you can work, you see, and claim PIP.
You can work with disabilities.
But obviously I mail as well.
And like I said, if I was taking a wage, then by paying myself a wage and having a contract, then technically the baby bank would have to pay me sick pay, wouldn't they?
And, you know, I could be out.
I'm due to have my knee done now.
Let's hope that goes well in there, because if it don't go well, I could be out for a couple of months and then the baby bank would have to pay for me, you know, and then that's less mothers being helped in it.
So, you know, that's the way I look at it.
Because legally they would have to pay me sick pay as well.
And I don't need it.
I don't need it at the moment.
I'm OK where I am.
Yeah, I'm the same as you guys, you know, keeping my heating off, picking up the excess food.
I even had a look on Olio last night to see what was floating about the place.
You know, I'm happy enough.
And I like to, I like to be frugal as well.
I like to buy my clothes from charity shops and things like that.
Hiya, you all right?
You all right?
I am here.
I know.
I'm five minutes.
I'm stopped this morning.
It's all half price.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we only take card and contact.
Well, it's just for you to be away.
Card and contact?
Yeah, we don't take cash.
Right, OK.
All right?
Yeah.
Fab.
Yeah, so...
Where am I turning over this jigsaw?
It's fiddly, this one.
Right, because I'm doing it on the floor.
Perhaps the floor's a bit uneven.
I just had a lovely lady in on a mobility school.
Obviously she can't get in because of the steps.
But there was stuff that she could see, so I passed it to her.
So if you're stuck because of your mobility, and you know our shop sign always the best, just give us a shout and we'll...
want to see something we can pass it out to you.
We ain't going to speed off you.
Speed off and run away.
Oh, no, I think I am missing a bit.
See, I was sure there was a bit that fell out of this.
I might leave it like this just in case that then I find the bit.
I thought too I was missing... I thought I was only missing one bit.
I may have dropped two then.
Okay, so we know we're missing two corner bits, don't we?
So if I put it back in the bag, we might find it in a bit, don't we, guys?
Oh, no, it's three because there's one bit missing there as well in there.
Right, we'll...
Do you want me to take that thing off the top?
No, no, it's okay.
Right, so they're all a pound on there.
I'll fill a bag for a fiver because we've got some in here.
Put it in there.
So we know we're missing three bits.
Remember that, guys, if I don't...
I dropped it, I did, so bits fell out the other ones.
I taped up, but I must have missed this one.
It's a pain in there when you buy stuff.
And then there's bits missing.
Or at least, like, if we've got something, write it on there, in there.
You know, I mean, not so much with jigsaw.
Well, jigsaw do go.
The bit's missing, but I usually do them for free.
Oh, this is like a big morning game.
We're supposed to be in him.
Looks like he's been opened.
Oh, it's those things.
So they must...
I've got a couple of those kicking around, so they must be out of the games.
These two GX things.
Oh.
Don't know if it's all there.
Let's have a look.
Anything stuck in the board?
Poke like this will go anywhere, even if it's got bits missing, because it's Pokemon.
So someone might have it for pieces, or...
So what should we have?
Someone will just...
Oh, hang on, there's bits more.
Somebody will just have it for the card, see, won't they?
Hmm.
We've only got four of them things.
What's that?
That's just a...
...card thing.
Right.
Got three booklets, which I think is probably right.
Oh, I bet it's on the bottom of the box.
Gaming companies.
Think about charity shop workers when they've got to check things.
Printed on the front.
Let's roll this back out.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's what's in the cards.
I see.
It's technical.
Right, okay.
Right, three complete Pokemon deck cards.
Sixty each.
There's supposed to be sixty in there, so we can do a count.
Each deck includes a special Pokemon.
Right.
Two tutorial guides on how to play.
I don't think we have them, do we?
Because we've got three of these, haven't we?
Advanced rule book.
One to two player game board.
Yeah, we've got our three deck boxes to keep the cards organized.
Oh, yeah, we've got them.
That's the boxes, isn't it?
For specific, isn't it?
One rule book.
One large metallic coin.
We'll get one of them.
Right.
One set of damage counters.
What's a damage counter?
A cold card for the Pokemon one.
What's a damage counter?
One set of damage counters, which might be those.
But how many is in a set?
I've been specific enough to say about the box.
So I'll show you one on there.
So if you have a look online, is it just two?
I mean, I've got all of these, but you don't say how many of them you're supposed to have.
Don't make it easy, do they?
That just says it on the board, does it?
I mean, it'll go anyway, because it's Pokemon.
No, it doesn't say it on the board, does it?
Give me an edit, just trying to sort out the box.
I don't know how much this is.
Probably quite a bit, doesn't it, if it's Pokemon?
I need a Pokemon expert to check it, don't we?
Maybe come in and check it for me.
How much do you think these are online, guys?
Somebody have a look for me and let me know.
And then I have some sort of steamer.
I don't know if it's all there yet.
I'll do the picture things first, I think.
Right, so we need to do a price check on that.
We've got to show one of our front cover, too.
I'll write that it appears to be complete.
RP ready.
And then we put our price and the date ready for it.
We don't have a best pen today.
He's nice, isn't he?
Where is he from, does he say?
So with all your teddies, you've got to check your labels unless it's a vintage bear.
Then you have to have insurance for selling vintage items as well, you see.
A lot of like these charity shops and all they don't have them.
Are you alright?
Yeah, yeah.
See where you are, I'm going to have you get back down.
No, I know, my knee is playing up, it is.
I'm doing a steroid injection, but I haven't had a chance to put it in.
No, no.
And you did sit down, because I got so hot because it was quite warm out.
They were dragging everything in because I had so much in Mind you, it is quite mild out there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I ordered an electric blanket because I blew mine up.
So I thought, oh, I'll order another one.
I had to go through some electric blankets.
Well, I've started putting mine on.
I find it good for my back and my knee, so when I go I put it on, sort of wrap it round me.
As well as being cold.
But I think it's a lot milder today.
Yeah, it's definitely milder.
My lady kind, she was going through the baby clothes buying a load, and she was sweating.
She was like, oh, my God, I'm burning.
I know, I put my electric blanket on over night times before I get in.
I usually put it on about two hours before I get in.
Oh, I leave mine on all night, see?
And me and the guy got six cats up, and they were all on top of me.
Because I got the electric blanket.
It's a brand new thing, isn't it?
Yeah, well, that's it.
But because I do have it on 24-7, I needed a blow-up.
I had to go through a few.
My God, these creature comforts of the day, aren't they?
And I had one.
It came in one of the shops.
It was very old.
And Dan said, I don't know if that'll pass the pat test.
He said, because it's really, really old.
So I said, oh, well, I'll have that.
For the house, you know.
Check the quid in the kitty, like, you know.
But because it was an old-fashioned one, it was boiling.
It went really hot.
Not like the new ones you buy today.
No, no, I think it was just, like, before the regulations and stuff come in.
But it was good.
It was a good one.
And it lasted for ages, and then it blew up there.
I know you're not supposed to sleep with them on, see.
But I don't sleep.
I like cat nap.
Yeah, it was a good one.
It was one of the old-fashioned, like, pink ones.
Very old.
I've noticed that with my iron, I've got two irons.
One is, like, I've had for about 20, well, 30 years.
Yeah, it's still going, isn't it?
But you get a new one, and it don't last five minutes?
No, and you don't seem to generate the heat.
No.
It's like they're on a sensor now to stop them getting too hot, isn't it?
Yeah, they're controlled, aren't they?
Yeah, so they don't get too hot.
But this, oh, this blanket was brilliant.
And there was something else as well that we had that was old.
Oh, a hot water bottle.
And it was old, and you're only allowed, I think it's, my friend, look, she runs a registered charity, and she does pop-up.
She got a pop-up shop the other way down the side.
And she looked online, because we said, oh, we don't know, I haven't seen anything about hot water bottles, but I think it's two years from when it's bought, or there's a date on them.
So we had to go through our hot water bottles and check them, and we had some old ones.
So we took them off, but good God, they keep the heat in.
I don't know whether they're made of asbestos or not, but good.
Well, again, I suppose it's like the rubber in them, isn't it?
Yes, I said to my son, right, that's the mark, I said, if you see any of those about in charity shops, pick them up, because they're brilliant.
It's because they're rubbered away, I think.
Oh, that's nice, isn't it?
Yeah.
I've got lots of jumpers, because sometimes there's jumper jumps out.
I mean, I think, oh, I've got something to go with that.
Yeah, it's, you know, it's the health and safety.
You've got to think stupid.
It's like, they say to us, like, you can't sell candles without instructions, because stupid people won't know how to use a candle.
And that's how you've got to think, you know.
Or if it's already burnt, don't sell it.
Yeah.
You know, so what we usually say is...
Or if it's something electrical, you've got to have an electrical engineer to check it out.
Yes, they've got to be checked.
They've all got to be pat-tested, yeah.
But there's also a certain age that you can't take.
I mean, a certain plug.
Yeah, yeah, I can't remember which one.
But she showed me one.
She showed me one.
We've got it all on printed off, you know, because my son does a pat-test.
Well, actually, there's so many rules and regulations.
You know, what it means.
Well, they can't sell china dolls to children, because somebody in the Blackwood area, we know this, because they told us.
So I've got a... I don't know where my sign is.
It's up here somewhere that says about china dolls and what have you.
Because a child bought one, and then cut themselves on it.
Well, I can understand that.
It's like glass, china.
No, you wouldn't though.
If you had a child, you wouldn't let them play with a china doll, would you?
I was going to say, it's the parents' fault.
Yeah, but I don't know which child's shop it was, but they sued him apparently.
Oh.
That's the thing.
So are you downsizing or something?
Or getting rid of all the stock?
No, it's stock.
We've got too big, too fast.
That's our problem.
And we just can't cope with it.
It's a lovely little shop, isn't it?
It is.
It's a lovely little shop.
But if we had a big one, we'd fill it.
I got a big one in Pontypool.
Well, two knocked in one, that is.
It's fun.
What we need now is warehouses.
Divert people.
We've got to leave your stock.
To the warehouse.
We've got one, but that's full.
But we need more than one now.
And we need teams in the warehouse now.
Divert them to the warehouse with the donations.
To take the pressure off the shops.
And then if a little old lady comes in with a bag of stuff, it's not the end of the world, is it?
Do you take donations as well?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we do, yeah.
All items we try and recycle as much as we can.
It's all about the recycling for us.
That's what we're into.
That's what we like doing.
Have you got anything you can sit on?
No, I'm not bothered because I wanted to sit on the floor.
Because I was cool.
I've got to get up now and do this lot by you.
Because you've got to wash it down and get piles as well.
That's all I need now.
I haven't got much going for me.
They always say that.
When they don't sit on the cold floor, you get piles.
I never know how that works.
How does that work?
I don't know how it works.
I don't know.
That's like an old wives tale, isn't it?
That's an old wives tale, I don't know.
I haven't got much going for me now.
That's all I need is piles.
Have you got none then?
Ta-da!
Nice to meet you.
Ta-da!
Right, there we are, guys.
That's all I need is piles, isn't it?
Right.
Domina Acta Plus Steam Cleaner QVC So we've got this Acta Plus.
This is nice.
And it's got bits with it.
And it may not have all the bits because obviously it's old.
You know.
But some charity shops now might throw that out and say it's missing bits.
It's still usable though as a steam cleaner, isn't it?
As long as you can get the fitting on.
Alright, you might not be able to do the full range of activities with it.
But as long as you can get the foot...
That's good.
See, we got one like this off the tick shop shop.
We didn't have one in at the time, you see.
So I think, you know, I don't think it's got all of the bits to do that.
Oh, I don't know.
That might be that.
Oh, actually, no, it might.
But has it got the pad?
But then again, you can make a pad out of a microfiber cloth.
Can't you?
So I wouldn't bin that.
Right, Dan will have to check it.
He'll have to check the safe and all the rest of it.
But I wouldn't bin that.
But this...
Has come with it.
So what is this?
It has a bizarre fixing.
Is it part of it?
I don't know.
Do you think it's part of it?
No.
What is this?
Domina.
But this isn't Domina, so this is Generation 8 Glide.
But it's a vintage one, isn't it?
We'll have to check if we can sell that fit in.
I tell you what this looks like.
It's part of a steam generator.
Don't it?
Because it's got that, where the steam...
Is that where the steam comes up the cable?
I'm not sure.
Is that how it works?
That's what it looks like.
I don't think we got the rest of it.
Yeah, that's what we need now guys.
Is warehouses with about 10 people in.
Working the warehouses.
And then...
Let me write on this as seen.
Because...
Don't know what we were going to do.
And then it's all gone a bit piggledy-piggledy again because things have happened.
Things tend to happen, don't they?
It's just...
We pulled all the electronics back in to pack test them only one go.
Like they do in the schools.
Because we were pat testing as we were going along.
But the problem is with that...
Is that they've all got different dates on.
So it was like, well that's stupid.
What we'd be better off doing is test them all in one go.
And then putting out a load of electricals in one shop.
And then we can say, right, Pontypool shops, the electricals are up this time next year.
And we know we've got to go in this time next year and take every electrical off the shelf and redo them.
Right now, because it's easier for us.
Because it's easy when they've got all individual dates on them.
It's easy to make a mistake, isn't it?
And leave one on the shop floor and it get bought.
And then the date is wrong on it.
So it's easy for it to happen.
Easy, you know, mistake to make.
Daniel's written a phone number on that bit of paper there.
So I need to find out what that phone number is for.
I've got to book in to have
my knee done.
Because it's starting to wear off.
So by the time I get an appointment and the rest of it.
I've got quite a lot to sort out today.
I just had to chuck it there so I could get in.
Ah, she's a nice lady.
I've had a nice guy from the lady called Marilyn out by here on her scooter.
She wanted a bag but obviously she couldn't come in because of the steps.
And the problem is that you can't put in a ramp.
The face is a road.
It goes out to a road.
So we're stuck with that.
But like I said, if you've got a wheelchair or something, you know you can't get in this shop.
If you wanted to volunteer and you were in a wheelchair and you wanted to come to this shop, we can put temporary ramps in to get you in.
You know, but then we'd have to get the guy out to make sure that's okay with him.
Because you know, you've got to get you out of here.
But what the council said is you can't have a ramp there and you can't have a ramp there permanently because it goes into the road.
And somebody could be wheeled off into the road.
And they'll be able to stop themselves, which I know is worst case scenario in it guys, but you know what environmental alpha like.
Because sometimes you can get grants and stuff see, especially if it's for a volunteer.
Because we can get grants for access to work for things, for ramps and stuff.
You know, because even though you're volunteering there's still access to work.
So, you know, if you volunteer for us and you've got disabilities, which you know, define disabilities today.
Most people have a disability, don't they, today?
Look at this.
A Pogo stick as well.
I was laughing with Jetmoney adding earlier.
I can't remember his name.
He's one of our regulars.
He always comes in for a chat.
That's why I want to have cafes in the shops, because people sometimes just especially the older generation, just want to come in and chat.
But then that's how you can involve them, because a lot of people come into our shop just for a chat and then that's how they become volunteers and things, you know.
And like some people can't commit, you know the whole idea of committing to being a volunteer could be exhausting to somebody, especially if they've got a disability.
You know, or they're elderly and think, oh no, I've got to get up and I've got to go in and I, oh no, you know and it's exhausting.
I mean, for me it works, because I'm like, oh I've got to get up, I've got to go.
I've got stuff to do.
I've got to get out of the house by such and such a time.
But then other people, it might be too much, but then to come out in their own time and then to come down and then to sit down at a table, have a cup of tea and talk to us and then I could say they could say, well is there anything you want me to do when I'm having a cup of tea?
And I could say, well we'll just fold them or stick a couple of prices on it, you know.
How many times have mums come in and when they've gone through looking to fill a bag for a fiver, they've tidied up the basket, well they've been there for us, you know, some massive help, isn't it guys?
These are what my mother did.
Daniel didn't get them in the cupboard, but the cupboard is nearly full already, see.
So these are all the little bags, look I've all the little, like I don't think that's a set, but we just put that one in.
Little trainers look.
Now don't forget they'll be on offer.
The prices are there for the boy men, because you know what they're like.
That's like a little colouring set, but it's not all there, but there we are, somebody might buy the bits.
Look, it's a little scrunchy bauble in there, I love that.
I love miniature stuff.
You know.
So I, you know, like that little dog set, look.
I haven't got all the bits, but it looks nice in a little bag, like that isn't it?
Oh, if you've got a little one who's into lol, it's expensive, I know it's expensive stuff.
Loving bits of plastic, isn't it?
But you've got stocking fillers, you know, mums, haven't you?
So there we are.
Oh, I'm not getting home.
I've been busy.
I haven't stopped.
I haven't stopped.
But at least I managed to clear this bit, because yesterday was so full up by here and so full up by there.
I think sometimes, and I don't want to be rude to men, but I think sometimes I don't think like women, do they?
You know.
Like I was like, boof, dude.
As soon as I come in, I smashed it.
I was like, boof, do the big stuff.
Get it done.
Get it out.
Put that in a place.
And then I was like, boof.
Right, what's the next stuff?
Boof.
You know, the DVDs.
Rubbish DVDs, good DVDs.
Boof, boof, boof.
You know.
Do them in a job lot.
The rubbish ones.
And the more collectible ones.
I never did that, but she priced it.
It was a bit of a rough price on that one there.
That Peppa Pig.
Look, and she put a bag on his head to keep him clean.
There you are, see that?
We've done like a little...
Like they're not a set, but we thought, well, if we put them in the little bags...
We ordered them, I think, off teaming with these little bags at some point.
That's like a little bag of lip glosses.
We checked them all, you know.
They don't look like they've been used.
Well, that's just a DVD.
I'll put that in with the DVDs.
Just an empty DVD cover.
So if I check that in with a box.
The job lot box.
It's my car.
That in with the job lot box.
That in with the job lot box.
Oh,
I unprice that thing.
Because I want this box to put these little toys in.
I've had a few moments where my knee have gone and I've had to be careful.
So I've got to get it done.
Oh, did she wash that?
No.
No, I think he still looks a bit grubby there.
I think we send him back, ma'am.
I think you've slipped the net, that one.
I don't even know what this was, did we?
Well, that thing is quite damaged.
I'll put that by the bin and we can have that for free because it's still a good support.
She was right about sitting on the floor, wasn't she?
Right.
Like the little Build-A-Bear shoes.
Right, what have we got here?
Now we've got some sets.
Like sets of non-specific My Little Ponies, you know, not real ones then.
That needs to come out.
That's just a toy.
Toy, toy.
That's a receipt.
So I should have stayed.
See?
We put little things together like this.
If you get any little bags like this, guys, keep them for us.
Because we need them.
Or like I think that's an Action Men bits in.
And then like she's put them like that ready.
Little dinosaur.
I wanted to put that in there for the price.
Put the two in there.
So that's a good job I found him.
See these, what are them things called?
Are they Shopkins?
Little bags of bits.
That one is on his own because it's got Barbie branding.
What is in the bottom of this bag?
I'm going to have to tip some of my sugar in there I think.
I'm going to have to go and tip him out now.
Let's get these little bits out.
Because I'm going to need this for toys now.
Some little like century toys and stuff.
And then a random Nerf bullet.
I've got sugar all in this box.
I'm going to go and tip it out, guys.
Let's put this recently in my pocket so I know I've got it.
Mum does all the receipts.
Look, she's there.
Keep some oil for the tax return and everything to prove our work too.
Right, so the bigger toys go back in the box.
I don't know about that.
I put that Peppa Pig over there because she priced it wrong.
They really went to her house.
Not a wash, you know.
She's gone on to a pricing pile.
She's going to have a bag come in there.
We've taken her a crate up already this week.
Of stuff to price.
I'm going to poke them in there because they're like bits of bits.
You've got to have a junk box, or a man box.
That's why they call it.
You've got to have a junk box in every shop for bits and bobs.
Sometimes you get fellas in and they say, you want to go this for an AX?
I'm like, probably.
Probably, but it'll be in one of these boxes in one of the shops.
And they go through it.
They come in and they go through these little bitty boxes of stuff.
Things like, that's off a...
It's either off a wee, or it's off a fire stick.
Or this thing.
You know, somebody might come and say, I haven't got one of them things.
I'm like, I've seen it somewhere.
Like I say, I always keep the old bullets.
And then if we get a couple, like we just bagged them and put them all in for a pound or something.
Right, so we're going to have a toy box here now.
Put that second egg in.
I feel a bit better now there's two eggs in there.
Two eggs, a crocodile and I think it's a bear or something.
They're nice little bags, those love art ones.
I'll buy them again, because they're nice if you're doing stocking fillers or something.
They do look nicer than these.
These ones are probably cheaper.
But these are more reusable than them, because they split quite easily.
But these, you can keep stuff in from there.
So yeah, they look lovely.
Try to get them, because I didn't realise lol dolls, different sizes.
Money making scheme in there.
Thomas the Tank.
Thomas, which one is he?
Edward, isn't it?
I don't think it's Percy, is it?
I've had a few people in this morning buy in.
Fair play.
But yeah, I do apologise, because he was full up yesterday.
I think he just had a panic attack yesterday.
I think he was like oh no, I can't take them all.
He didn't get it shifted.
That's the trouble with Risca, is we knew that, you know, the plan was to uplift to the donation centre, wasn't it?
But the donation centre is full.
It's full.
I need two more warehouses tonight.
Look, I started off in a nice basket.
And now I'm in a calendar.
Never mind.
Blowing leaves.
What a knowing Risca we have.
Gwen came in once, she called in to see Dan.
There were leaves everywhere, big leaves.
She was like, I like your autumn display.
Not a bloody autumn display.
Off the park.
So, Gwen who used to work with us isn't very well, guys.
She hasn't been very well.
That's why you haven't seen her.
She's on the mend.
So, if you come into Risca shop and she's here, because she wants to come back.
I don't know if she's going to come back straight away.
Pop in and say hi to her, because, you know, I was surprised the other day when one of our mother's babies is like 3 or 4, 5 now.
I couldn't believe it.
When she started.
Like a little tiny baby in a pram and in a...
in a papoose.
Remember you used to carry her in a papoose?
What was that?
Something made a noise, didn't it?
Oh, it's like a boot fell off the table.
Like a stumble boot fell off my table.
Like a foil on my feet today.
I put a sock on, wrapped my foot in foil.
This is how I get through the winter.
Now I've got skinny feet.
Right?
And then...
Right?
And then I put another sock on and then a fully sock.
But what I've done is wrapped a little bit too tight.
My foot hurts a bit.
Right.
We have another box full of toys.
We've got a car full.
Where am I going to put that?
Where am I going to put that, guys?
Does anybody got a garage?
Do you want to start running a shop out of their garage for us?
I had a few people with garages contact me.
But they were like...
One garage was like two and a half thousand months.
I was like, yeah, but you have to realise that we're not a garage going in there and we ain't going to make that money.
And they had pits and everything, you know.
That would be fabulous, full of teddies.
But it was dirty because obviously they did have cars in there.
And of course, they're used to renting it out as a garage and I was like, I ain't going back to that.
I'm not going back to scrubbing out garages like we were before, like Big Risca.
As much as I love Big Risca and the space, the best thing that ever happened to us was the Risca bitches.
RCV Coronavirus Boob Job Retirement Centre.
Whatever they call it this week.
To keep changing their names so they can keep applying for grants and they don't keep doing what they're doing.
Clever idea, you know.
It's not right though, is it?
All they did was complain about it, as you see there, and boop, boop, boop, boop.
Complain, complain, asbestos, asbestos.
One of her horrible sons broke our roof.
The landlord was like, can't fix it, everything was getting wet so we had to go.
But that was the best thing that could have happened to us, because it put us into a brand new way out.
You know, that had a lot of
talk going on because it was newly built and people were looking at it by Sainsbury's and it was the best thing that could have happened because it made us look so much better and tidier.
So, you know, I was content working out of that garage and I would have been content working out of this other garage if the price had been right, but it was a proper mechanical garage and it needed a good scrub.
So if they'd scrubbed it, well I did say that when I said I was going to I said I haven't got the time to paint and scrub it.
I said I'd need all that done and repaint it and pop the floor paint before it even came in there.
I said I haven't got the time to do it now.
You know, Pontypool is my fixer upper and I still haven't got the time to fix that one up.
You know, this time last year, we were probably spending a lot of time fixing up shops and I used to like the fact that we had a fixer upper, something to do.
But now we've just got so much stock that we haven't got time to fix them up.
You know, it's not me, I'm not fussy.
Of course everybody liked a brand new shop.
It was nice in Blackwood to just move straight in.
Just get the walls painted and what have you.
I don't know if anybody's in there yet, let me know.
Somebody was on about him today.
We've got his other shop now.
There's somebody's left his other shop.
I don't think, I don't think he's a good one.
I don't think he's a good landlord.
I've got to be honest.
I mean, he didn't want us in there.
He wanted us out, you know, he was making it uncomfortable for us.
Because obviously we're not going to allow stuff are we, you know.
What's this now?
What have I got here?
And we're too, too much of a...
smart look.
So that's going to have to go in the wall.
We're too much of a...
in the public eye as well.
He doesn't want a business in there.
What the hell is this?
What the hell?
Oh, it's just one for you, Sammy, to deal with this.
What the hell is this thing?
Topel... Topeloff is called.
Topeloff!
Didn't want anybody in there.
It's going to draw attention to themselves.
Either did he.
Right, what's going to be in this thing?
I think it's only them.
Just the topler.
The topler.
So what's this bit on the bottom for?
Oh, better check anyway.
The object.
Follow the game's commands, placing the handle of the game unit on the correct base plate without making the orb topple.
How can you do?
How well can you do?
Oh, as you know.
Oh, I see.
You've got to take it like that and then go.
Mustn't come off.
Oh, and it turns red when it fails.
Where is the list of stuff that's supposed to be in it?
Games manufacturers.
Please, just make a list.
Stick it to the side of the box.
I think it's only them things.
Now, see, the other charging shops they're not allowed to set because they govern by the charging commission and big corporate things, they're not allowed to sell games that haven't got instructions in them.
You know?
And they haven't got the time to print off the instructions.
Just write on it, no instructions, pound.
You know, unless somebody go home and Google it.
YouTube it, innit?
Once you know how to play a game, you know how to play it.
You don't need the instructions to go.
It's just silliness, innit?
It's just silliness.
And they create unwanted waste.
And there's no need for it.
What else do I have?
Oh, I can't
reach in here.
I'm going to have to spin it all over the area.
I'm going to have to get that down at some point.
Pop and hop!
Oh my god, what's happened now?
Huge bucket falling on me.
I think that's it.
Pop and hop.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
Yep.
That's it.
No instructions with him.
Have a look on T-Mail tonight and see what type of hole does they go because you're balancing on the edge of the book now.
We can't really see much, can we?
On the box.
Pop and hop.
What is it like?
250?
Oh, where's my stickers?
250.
They've just had about 1000 hangers.
Well, my dad went to look and he couldn't find them.
But it's on an industrial estate.
Like 2000 of the grabby hangers.
You know the ones we like?
Sammy's found them, so she just dropped them off at Pontypool.
The dam's having a breakdown.
We've got like 2000 hangers to deal with.
But they're always good because we put the harbour dash on them or if you've got a blanket, they're trying to think what we've got on them.
They're always good for hanging up...
What have I done here?
I pressed the wrong thing.
They're always good for hanging stuff up on the walls or like I had that flag on one but somebody stole it, the bugger.
Ripped it off the thing.
I need to get Rob for the CCTV too.
He thinks he's got...
He might be in work, but he thinks he's got good CCTV of him.
He's got good CCTV, I know that.
And they've had plenty of time to come back now, haven't they?
They know they've been caught.
I'm all over Facebook and everybody knows I'm a thief.
Look at this.
This is what I do with the books.
So when you... See?
It's 30 quid this book was, right?
So what I do is I go in and this is where you'll find all your information you need to know about your book.
Okay?
So...
It might be a collectible copy because it's got a serial number on it, okay?
So it's 1999, so...
Obviously it's a vintage book.
If it's first edition, it'll say it unless they're really old, like...
I'm going to hand...
But you know, like the really older books and they haven't got printed covers.
Just cardboard covers were like red or green or blue.
They're the ones that won't have it because they were more worried about dying of the plague when that one was printed than, you know, who was going to buy a first edition book in the next hundred years.
But this one might be a collectible one because it's got CLD21.
So it's 21,522.
So I've had books that are lower than that.
I've had books with double figures and triple fingers.
So it's not as collectible as some books but it's a good one.
And I think it would sell well.
You know, I think if we put ten pound on that book, right?
The way that we price our books, the way that we research the books and the way we present them, I think if we put ten pound on it, easily make F5 for this.
Not a problem.
But I did see one of our friends trying to sell books the other day and I thought well, we do really well on books, so we do.
But it's because we know our books.
And the way that we present them.
And if, the other thing is like Dawn is very good with offers and books.
So if we've got a customer and a donor is here, she can talk them through it.
And Dawn has taught the other staff how to sell books and how to talk about books to other members of staff that don't have anything to do with books.
I only know about books because I went to university and you've got to write them all down in your reference list, in your bibliographies, etc.
And when I was in college, before I went back to uni, they did a referencing day.
So we went on like a referencing day, so we knew what we were doing, which was also helpful.
Before you go to uni, to know how to do it.
And Dan loves books.
He always liked books.
When I used to wrap up his Christmas presents, I used to put the books at the back, because every time he would open a book, he'd get straight into it and we'd be like, come on!
It's Boxing Day now, you need to get on and do something else and open some more presents.
Because once he had a book, he'd want to go in a book straight away, you know, to have a look.
He likes books like this.
Factual books.
So I used to put them at the back, because I used to think, oh well let's get through the presents, I can get on with cooking and the dinner.
And everything else.
And then he can go through the books, you know.
And he's still got books there now.
He's had as a kid on his shelf brand new, beautiful books.
He always looks after them.
But if somebody was to come in now and to buy this, he could talk them through the book as well, because he'd be like, oh yeah, yeah, this book and this book, and then he'd go on about an event.
You know, like the Tokyo...
Tokyo in ruins.
I'm quite sure Daniel will know every fact you need to know about the Tokyo in ruins, or the blooming Margaret Sangler Opens Birth Control Clinic.
You'll know everything.
You'll know everything about any event.
Daniel will.
So, that always works well, because our volunteers are confident in selling books.
As well, you know.
So it was a vintage copy, wasn't it?
I think it's a collectible.
Collectible copy.
I could put it up for twenty.
I'd hope to get ten.
But I think we've got a lot of books of me.
Books do well.
So I think it would definitely go for a fiver.
So, 1999.
And what was the number?
Twenty-one something, wasn't it?
The other thing is, why you should check every book, roughly around these pages, or the front, is where the signed copy would be.
So when you're on a car boot, or you're in a charity shop, and you're looking for yourself, maybe to resell, or just collect yourself, now you know what you're looking for.
Twenty-one five, two, two.
But we do better than anybody else with books.
We do.
So I'm going to put that one there.
And I think people know it, because they come to us now quite often, and they say I got some really lovely books.
And I'm like, oh, yes, these.
The only problem with the books, especially these books, right, is they're so heavy.
It's a manual handling problem, isn't it?
You know, these books, this is lovely, this is an old one, this will go well.
And like, we display the books in the cupboards as well.
Where some places can't do that because of how many books they've got, you know, like charity shops are the same.
The book is, books are not the priority in charity shops, are they?
Because they've got other stuff to sell.
And they're like us, they've got thousands of stuff to sell.
It would be nice to have a book shop.
But I don't know if we'd make enough just be in a book shop.
Maybe a little shop down here.
I'll mark it as a book shop, might be nice.
But I tell the volunteers, the shops, the books need to be the backdrop to the shop.
This is a 1977, so it's an antique book.
a 1977 antique copy, but it's nothing special.
But I think we would get a fiver for it, because it's just one of those lovely books, you know.
I've got my best pen, so I'm writing up scruffy.
It's an informative book about bikes.
And look, the shashy bits.
Is that what you call them on a bike?
A shashy?
I'll say it.
But I think somebody would like that.
And I think it would definitely go for a fiver.
Definitely.
But yeah, I'd like a book shop, that'd be nice.
It's...
what's that?
Let's see this bag.
I wasn't planning on sitting here, you see.
I was planning on going out the kitchen, but my knees sort of give out little jigsaw.
That's nice, isn't it?
Oh, it's a magnetic one.
That's a nice one.
Daniel had a few customers, so straight away.
And usually on market day you don't, because they usually go to the market first, so...
That's what we find on you.
What's out of a PlayStation game now, is there?
Right, it's still handy.
Send them in, even if you've only got them.
Like, sometimes we just have the cases, like, because sometimes if somebody's trying to sell it, they want the bits to go with it.
So, send them in.
Right, what have we got?
Shoes.
Where are these from?
Ultra Ideas.
They're nice.
Yeah, they're quite...
It pushes up your arch in there, for them.
Let's have a look.
Right, we've got two shoes there.
They are right.
They'd be like poundish.
These ones look quite good, because they've got like arch supports in them, and like they look comfy.
Because it's like pushed up there, so probably get... and they're good condition, so probably get five for them.
And then these again, pound.
There's nothing special about them, is there?
You know, pound on them ones, probably.
I have been trying to get all the pound ones over the pond to pool, because now we've got our guy that's taking them to Gambia.
If they don't sell for a pound, we'll bag them up like an end.
Just make a donation towards us then.
But we really need a shipping container now, for the Africa Appeals.
Because I can't do them, because I haven't got a room in the shops to keep the stock now.
Uh...
Does this say what size I need, if anybody's not busy and wants to do it for us?
I don't mind paying.
What's it got the UK 7.5?
Uh, UK 7.5.
Um...
I want big... Daniel did them, but he like did them this big, no good.
I want a big square, like that.
Done on wood, right?
With the shoe sizes in.
The UK.
So size 6, size 8, size 10, size 11, size 12.
The square, laminate them and hole punch them.
So that we can tie them onto the shoe.
And then cut them off, because we haven't got the room to have one shoe size on one shelf.
And we haven't got the staff to maintain that.
So we just chuck all our shoes in together.
So if they had a big square on them, with size 2, size 3 on, we could just tie it with a price tag, right?
And then people would go, oh that's got a size 6, that's got a size 7 on it.
And then the guys will just cut it off then, when they come through by the till, you know, to pay.
Yeah, could they be?
Does it say what size?
Does it say a size?
Oh, size 7.
Get back in the box.
Get back in the box, guys.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, for like, shower shoes, or to go out to the washing line or something, aren't they?
What are these?
Were they new?
No.
41.
Oh, they're nice and cushioned inside, though.
These are a 7.
I don't think they've been worn much, mind.
They don't look worn, but they look worn on the bottom.
Somebody might be coming for the other van tonight.
So, thank you for that.
We've done well, because we got half the price back that we paid from.
So, I think I paid just, it was even 900 of a thousand for the sprinter, and we got 450.
Didn't even argue 450, and they bought our sofa as well.
Well, they turned up, and we dug well with the sofa out ready.
The sofa was mine, but, you know, we bought that as well.
Took it away in the van, with them, so that was good.
And then I just donated the money over.
And then I think we paid 450 or 500 for the red one, and I think it's going for 250.
I got a lot of people after that for parts.
Now, I did say that on my deathbed, somebody break the vans, because we'll get more money from them, by breaking them, but we just, we haven't got the time to do it.
And Dan was going to do it, because he's got, he trained as a mechanic, like, in college.
He was going to do it, you know, because he knows how to do it, and it was a bit of a hobby for him, but he hasn't got time for a hobby.
Another 1973 antique copy.
So, we've just let him go, but we've got half the price back, and we've explained this, because we need to get a looting, and because of the pedo, and all his mates, and you've seen what Hayley Thomas' husband did to his car, and his van, didn't you, and all the rest of it.
I can't leave that, well, he stole one van from Aberbarga, didn't he?
They stole Bertha.
We bought Bertha for about 450, 350, and they stole it.
And it was full of all the Prem clothes, and nappies, and things, and they stole it.
And they got it, he got away with it, because he got one of his scrap guys to do it.
And they just scrapped it, and got rid of it, and then all those clothes went in, you know, well, God knows what they did to them.
But, I can't leave my looting van, my new looting van, on the, even in front of the drive, parked, because they'll damage the other side of it, and I won't see it on the CCTV, because the looting will prevent you from seeing it, wouldn't it?
Because it's so big.
So it's got to be on the driveway, with 360 CCTV.
This is, this is how bad these people are,
you know.
He tried to take vans off our drive before.
Because he, I, I, I can't remember what happened.
I went past, and he had vans there, and I had to ring, I rang the police, I think, and I said he's, they're trying to take the vans off our drive, or they sat there waiting to do it, and they went and shifted them, and said, aw, come on, boys, we've sat by your side.
But fair play to the fellas, they go and buy them, and buy them the other one.
They haven't asked for a discount on them on a thing, because they can see what it's for, you know, they can see what we're doing.
And it's worth that, for parts, anyway.
It's just, it's a bummer that we had so much stuff in there.
Well, we had loads of these in before, the big Risca.
Perhaps you've had them from bigger, perhaps these come off right, perhaps that's where they came from.
These lovely little books.
They look familiar.
Everything comes back.
Everything they come back to us.
That's a lovely set.
Oh, no, see, this isn't, this is an old one.
How to talk correctly.
How to talk correctly.
Revised edition.
See, it's got it at the front there, revised.
But when was it printed?
Book production war economy standards.
This is old.
Very old, this one.
You can feel it with the pages.
But it hasn't got a print on it.
So I'd have to Google that one.
But that's an antique book.
You know.
Must be quite a bit to expect.
See, I got a nice little set of these, haven't I?
I got, what is this?
This is one type of set, for the look of it.
Sitting by the sealer.
Looked like an orange bit, I know.
What's that one then?
Barry Bartlett's book.
Who is he?
Oh, there's a nice path over there.
1989.
Here we are.
Just spotted some toys at the front.
They won't move, I think.
They're a little at the front, they won't move.
They're like, come on, we're going.
Right, so I could get these ready.
That's an old one, isn't it?
You'd open it up.
Have a look.
So you're looking for the latest date.
So 1976.
So it's an antique one.
1976.
But nothing, nothing, nothing special about it, you know.
Nothing special.
Last Wednesday was dead in Risca.
But it's a bit like Newbridge.
I think they shut down.
Everything shuts down on a Wednesday.
Newbridge is dead as a door post on a Wednesday.
I think the charity shop still opens.
But it is dead as a door post over there.
Get these ready.
But I am going to make little stickers that I like to put on them.
1976.
Antique.
Copy.
Be nice to have a book shot.
Oh, dropped it again, guys.
You can't see very well.
It's not good.
I need the glasses.
Somebody send me a link for the glasses.
You know, like the ones Spudman go.
Another dear ones.
Try and give me a Timu link.
You know, just wear them on top of my glasses.
And then you can see exactly what I'm doing there.
See it through the eyes of a baby bank owner.
Look at that idiot with his megaphone at the wrong school the other day.
There we are.
So see, it's got one there.
So that's one million copies, that means, right?
But it means this has been printed within 10% either side.
So it is collectible, right?
But we've got other books that are far more collectible than this.
Sometimes they've got two or three or 19.
It's like 19 millionth copy printed and it's within 10% either side of that one.
But we've got far more, far more books.
Far more books that are way more collectible.
Oh, I can't wait to go on holiday now.
I really, really need a break now again.
It's like, everything's building up to having a break.
I didn't want to come home from Egypt.
Well, Egypt, I was a bit fed up with the, they're a bit pushy when they're selling stuff.
And oh, they kept coming around every, even around the resort.
Trying to sell you a massage.
Oh, we look a bit stressed today.
We were like, I'd already booked in.
That was the thing.
I'd already booked in and I had a session of it and they kept harassing you for more stuff.
You know, very pushy out there they were.
Daniel was in Blackwood, Scotland and then a fella came in and he said, can you see better like that?
He said, oh, he said, I recognize you.
He said, oh, I recognize you.
He said, your mother was a crazy cat lady.
In Egypt.
I kept feeding them horses and they do tell you not to feed them.
But I'd go up and I'd get a kipper, bring it back, you know.
But there was one that was injured and we couldn't get him.
He wouldn't come.
He was an old school cat and he wasn't going to come to me.
We tried throwing towels over him.
He was bad.
And by about the third day you could smell he'd had an infection.
And I said, he's just going to, if we don't get him and take him to a vet, he's going to die.
Because he's just lifting this infection in the heat.
And he was just oh, you know.
And he was getting more lethargic.
But he didn't want to be caught.
And I tried so hard to catch him.
And we were to take him to a vet.
They were lovely, cute little things.
We've got a warning with this one.
Because they've had a population explosion of chipmunks or something.
And they've been going in people's bags.
So watch when you're by poolside, they said.
I can't even remember the name of the hotel.
I'm like, I don't care.
I don't care.
I'm just happy to go now.
Happy to go.
Have a break.
Well, we did something last time didn't we?
Because there was a house fire last Christmas.
So I reckon I should be able to write it off as a tax return.
Because it was a working holiday.
Because we had to arrange the collections and the sorting of the stuff for the, well the volunteers did it.
But we got all of the details for the house fire victims.
We had two or three didn't we?
So we arranged all of that while we were in Egypt.
And then the year before we went to centre parks.
And that was alright.
There was a lot of money for Christmas and you know we could have gone abroad for that money.
So that's why we decided to do that.
And it wasn't that good.
It was a bit rough around the edges.
It wasn't worth what we paid for centre parks.
But you pay more because it's Christmas.
But we also worked on that one because we were arranging people who had excess food for other people to go and pick it up.
Over Christmas.
So I don't know.
Anybody who knows anything about tax returns have a look.
See if I can write my holidays off.
I wouldn't charge them to the baby bank.
But I might be able to get my tax back on them.
Because we've got all of the messages and everything.
We can prove it.
It would be good wouldn't it?
I think centre parks was just under 3000.
Oh I don't usually write dates on them.
So what would that be then if it was 20%?
That would be 600 quid isn't it?
600 pounds.
That's a lot isn't it?
Oh it's big writing in there isn't it?
What's this?
2008.
For Carol.
Who's Carol?
The Medici secret.
I've got time to read a book.
Should make time.
But there we are.
Exhausted.
Exhausted.
Donation fatigue.
What's this one?
Pyramid.
The sands of time are running out.
I used to go to uni with a lady and she'd be reading a book I guess in the lab.
Knitting and crocheting.
Stuff for her Etsy shop.
Her Etsy shop.
Next to me.
And then all of a sudden she'd be like oh yes.
Blah blah blah.
Because she used to be a midwife.
And she came back to redo on the old training.
Where you worked your way up.
And I think she came back then to do nursing.
And of course she knew quite a lot.
She was very knowledgeable.
She was a nice friend.
And she'd be there and she'd be like this and she'd be reading the book and she'd be crocheting away and answering questions.
And I'd be like hang on I only take my notes.
She was a lovely lady she was.
But she'd had enough as well as midwifery.
And the thing is this is why I had to say to you.
Do access to nursing.
Do adult nursing.
It opens more doorways because she had to come back to do nursing.
Because she couldn't go into nursing with the qualifications that she had.
So by doing the course that I did it opened more doors for me.
So
lots of people out there today.
But it's nice weather.
Christmas Reef Workshop.
Oh they're deer aren't they?
I've never seen them advertising them.
It's like they advertise these Christmas Reef Workshops.
And then the one that the pantry had last year why are you whispering?
I don't bloody know.
I don't really care if they hear me.
Right?
It was £25 or £35 and you had to bring your own foliage.
Really?
I'm sure we got somebody that could knock up a few leaves and show the mothers how to do them.
Here we are.
Published in Penguin Books 1981.
Yeah that's a penguin.
So it's 1981 vintage copy.
I've got my best pen.
Look at this frozen one.
The last bow.
It's a Sherlock Holmes one.
Perhaps I'll get a book for holidays.
I've got a colouring book.
I'm on the plane with my colouring book.
I was like touching to Danny do you want one to colour?
He was like no.
Airport food was dear though this time.
It was at least 10 maybe more for just a meal deal in the airport.
I mean I like to you know because we're quite frugal when we go on holiday we're not.
You know?
Still look for a bargain but I like to try things and if they've got stuff there I'm like oh I'll try that.
But it was really expensive.
And I don't like to worry about then if we're having stuff on the plane you know.
I like to enjoy it.
When we're away we like to enjoy it.
Especially food and drink.
I don't drink alcohol but you know.
I do crazy stuff if I get drunk.
You've got to watch me if I get drunk.
Hide the paint.
I have been known to paint things when I'm drunk.
What's this one?
1982?
Published in Penguin Book 1982 yeah.
Ah my knee clicked.
Oh my god.
They tell you old age don't come on his own.
But what they don't tell you is it hits you like a bus.
All at once.
So yeah hopefully the other van will go this week now.
That's got a signature in it but I don't think it's the person who owned the book.
Just double check him.
No it's a bit damaged this one.
Somebody else's gift aid number on it.
We don't claim gift aid because only a registered charity can claim gift aid.
It would be interesting to know how much gift aid all these charities are claiming.
Because you can claim it on cash and you can claim it on goods.
1926 1968.
Reprinted 1968.
Yeah.
That would be an antique copy.
Quiet now.
I had quite a few in this morning.
Museum secret.
A dyslexic who walks into a bra.
I had trouble saying that.
That's funny.
A dyslexic who walks into a bra.
That's funny.
Oh I could fill another shop tonight guys honestly.
I got one.
That one that I still fancy down Newport is still there.
They're selling the business though.
But I don't know whether they own the shop.
But I'm waiting see.
I'm waiting for it all to collapse and the prices to go down.
I have offered them.
I think it was up for six.
So I think I offered them for £4.55.
But I ain't ready to jump.
You know.
It's quite a big one.
It's not massive.
But it's in a good location.
It's been established business for a long time.
So I think we'd do well there.
But we'd have the same problem as we go everywhere else.
Once we get into the Newport area.
We're going to be swamped with donations again.
So we'd need a warehouse in Newport then.
Because my dad says.
Oh I've done it again.
My dad says perhaps you should get away from the shop model and go to the warehouse model.
And I'm like yeah.
But I think the both would work.
I think still a shop like this.
Because Risca High Street is quite nice.
And you know people still walk the high streets.
They're still walking some of the high streets.
So there is still a catchment for recycling and for sales.
But my dad thinks we should go more for like big warehouses.
And the problem is because we don't employ anybody.
Or see this is a 001 off the print.
So that's more collectible.
It's not a first or a second or a third edition.
Right?
But it's a 001.
I put them up a little bit more.
The Solomon's...
The Solomon curse.
Yeah so I didn't go back to Egypt because the sellers and all put me off to Egypt.
And we didn't even go out that far.
We literally went down the road and some guy went nuts and then accused me of ripping him off for a bag that I didn't even want.
A fake bag.
I didn't even want it.
And I was like well I've only got 20 euros on me.
He was like well you ripped me off.
I was like well you've been standing here for 25 minutes trying to rip me off.
And he wouldn't.
I tried to take my money back off him and he wouldn't have it.
I was like well he's been trying to rip me off for 22 minutes.
I didn't even want the bag.
And my legs were jumpy in Egypt.
And I don't know why but they were really jumpy.
And I had a pedicure done with a massage.
When I was out there.
And I hadn't had one done for years.
Right?
Proper sewing off my blimming toenails with an axel.
But they weren't that bad.
But, oh you are Harry Potter.
We're having off with him now.
He might be a good one.
Erm...
But I did it.
To sort of see if it would relax my legs.
Which it did a little bit.
So I might you know, account for stuff like that when I'm out there.
2007 this one.
2007 copy.
Oh, I don't know where it was bought from.
It's probably from the airport then if it's got all of those different things on of it.
I
don't know how much it is UK.
I don't say UK.
Probably bought abroad, was it?
No, I don't say how much.
I think it's about 8.99 only.
Ahh.
Ghostwatch.
A little heavy book.
The Lost in the Congo Jungle.
So that's why I didn't book a Egypt again.
But I want to go to Egypt and I want to go over Luxo in the balloon and I want to go to the pyramids.
But I've been watching all these scam videos on TikTok.
On how these people like, dive on you as soon as you get there.
So I want to know how to say in Arabic.
Piss off and leave me alone or I'll kill you.
So I'm going to have it printed on a t-shirt before I go.
I should probably get arrested for that then.
And don't I be able to take a drone and fly it around the pyramid or do you think they kick off?
Somebody ring the embassy and ask.
It would be nice to have a drone.
Take your own drone up to have a look at the pyramid.
You're not allowed to climb them.
I know that.
But I've been watching them online.
Again, you know, I've got to watch with my knee, haven't I?
My knee's got to be in good condition.
So perhaps I'll wait until I have the operation.
I've just got to go crawling through those spaces.
Well, I will be.
They take you in deeper.
Just the average depth.
But we were going to start doing Egypt to just go round places.
Rather than try and do it all in one go.
So that you add like a little you know, so you spend more time in one area sampling more things that you do.
But they put me right off all these scam videos and everything.
A thick book, this one.
Who's this one?
House of Secrets.
A breakneck jam packed roller coaster.
Oh, it's J.K.
Rowling.
Rowling or rolling?
What do you say?
Rowling, I'd say.
That's what everybody says.
The trouble is you do the same thing, because...
So I don't know what this is to do.
Where are we going?
I am really lost.
When I went to see a psychic she said, get yourself a good desk.
Because you are going to be doing a lot of writing.
Well, I got a desk and then I got accepted to university.
And it wasn't on the card.
And I did a lot of writing in uni.
But of course a lot of it is more typing than writing.
But I don't think she meant this.
Yes, I do a lot of writing with the stickers.
But I don't think she meant this.
I think she meant writing.
Like writing, writing.
But I don't know about books.
And novels.
I don't know about that.
Sometimes I am a bit scattered with my thinking.
So to get my thoughts into a process of having it coherent in a book.
As part of being neurodivergent, isn't it?
Wherever I would be able to compile it in a book, I don't know.
One of my volunteers wrote a book for somebody who runs.
I was like, oh, you can write one about me.
She said, oh yeah, it's going to be a fiction.
She said, it's going to be fiction.
And now all these charities are trying to kill you off.
I was like, yeah.
It would be like Dan Browns.
When he's got to write his fiction because the church won't let him publish a factual book.
We could do with a blooming documentary, bloody Netflix team coming around with us.
All the bloody shit that they go on.
Tell you what, bring back the ferret.
Remember the ferret?
Could have got him involved in all of this, couldn't we?
Louis Faroult, that's what we want.
Chasing out these bloody charities and their bloody plastic surgery.
He's gone to the extreme of a bloody eight lives down the drain.
We've got to get down this one.
We've got a bloody website to try and take us down for Christ's sake.
I'm looking at the wrong date now.
2008.
Corgi.
It's printed in 2008, so this was Corgi.
2008.
Well, we've done our bag of books.
Guys, I'm going to have to move I think next because my leg and my knee is not very good in this position.
I don't know what the time is.
I think I'll do this one.
And then I'm going to have to stroll about because my knee is bad.
Trouble is, see, I'm stuck in the shops now.
Which I, I, this is what I like doing.
Is sorting the stuff.
But I need to be doing some other stuff now.
You know, should be out doing videos and stuff.
You know, get some bobs.
Right, I'm going to have to get up now with my knee guys, sorry.
