Right, so I've got quite a few mums in now, doing a full bag for a fiver on the toys.
I've found another trolley full.
So, I've got one Moses basket left, it's the pod, that's a pound.
The other one I've sold, she's got to come and pick it up now.
I've got that one up for a pound.
I'm just digging out these tables here, but they are, I would display ones, and they can be flat packed.
So I can't remember whether to reduce them at all.
But I've got to try and get in this... oh, that drain is bad.
It's really bad, that drain is, this week.
I'll get my mother to ring the council about it again.
Because we want to get in here and re-display the teddies as well.
But I want this one out, because I think this trolley will be easier to disperse back into the shop.
But we need to stop... anything that's behind you needs to go out there every day.
Until it's gone.
Don't keep getting stuff from the back of the shop to put out the front.
Just keep working on the stuff that's here.
Because what happens is, this stuff stays here, and then you get other stuff, and more stuff keeps coming down, and more stuff...
Just leave it to the big stuff that's by here, and just put out what is by there every day.
Okay?
Because what's happening is, it's getting backfilled and backfilled with stuff, and then we can't get none of the stuff out.
Right?
So whatever's there, we'll take a picture of it now the weekend.
That's what we want out until it's gone.
Okay?
Because otherwise, you just keep putting stuff out, stuff out, and this just keeps getting filled with the stuff that's coming in every night.
And that's why it's piling up, I think.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But that's what I think.
But like, little things like this shouldn't even be here.
They should be up with the accessories.
Oh!
I found Kev!
Oh Kev!
We thought you'd been stolen!
Now, this is a classic example of something that's expensive.
Right?
It was passed by a member of staff that understands why expensive stuff is in the window, to a junior member of staff that hadn't been explained to why stuff is in the window, and they'd thrown a pile of expensive stuff, including comic books, it's taken us this long to find the stuff,
into an area where it shouldn't have been thrown into.
It should have been put.
Kev should have been put, either back in the window, or...
Well, I think we should keep him now.
I think he's our mascot.
Our disabled baby that was left on the doorstep because nobody wanted him.
I think we should keep him now.
He's our mascot.
But this is an example of, you know, why we have to say to people, this is why expensive stuff is in the window so it doesn't get nicked.
And we couldn't find him.
So he should have been taken out and put behind a counter or restricted area.
But oh, poor Kev.
He's gone through so much.
He's gone through so much.
I think we should keep him now.
This is my baby that was left on the doorstep.
These reborn mothers are savage when they can't bond with these babies.
They just get rid of them, put them straight on eBay.
Savage with them when they can't bond.
Left on my doorstep he was.
Oh, I think we should keep him.
So yes, I think we can at least get rid of one trolley.
But we've got to stop this mangled mess of stuff by you.
It's too much all the time.
I mean, you know, because some of this I thought had gone.
So try and keep everything as streamlined as possible.
Right.
So don't go like hanging things on a slant and things like that.
Everything needs to be streamlined.
Like, Dan, you've hung that off your cables there.
That's no good because it's going to pull your cable down.
It's going to create more work.
Right.
Try and keep it as streamlined as possible.
Don't put things on angles.
Remember Emma used to put things on angles downstairs all the time.
And then you'd come in the night with all the donations and you couldn't get through the door because everything was on a bloody angle.
All the tables, all the furniture.
It was like, keep it straight.
You know, think before you pile up areas because it's creating problems elsewhere for us.
Things should be stacked when they're put away.
Not thrown like that in the corner.
I know what it's like.
My knee was bad last night and I threw stuff in the cot.
Now I've got to excavate the cot.
I know what it's like.
But we want to try and simplify this now.
Get rid of the big stuff.
We're not going to...
I think until we get a warehouse we're not going to be taking any big baby stuff in.
Like jumper rules, bouncers, prams.
I'm not going to be taking them in.
Because they just take up so much room in the shop.
And again, nothing but people are going over the price of prams and things like that.
So I think we'll just wait now until we get a warehouse.
Oh, that was you.
I thought my trolley was running off down the road.
I panicked then.
I was like, oh no.
It won't be the first time I've lost a trolley.
I was like, oh no.
I've got to go running off down the road for it.
We're on offer.
75% off.
Yeah.
Well, everything's on offer.
We've got so much.
It's got to go.
So much.
It's all got to go.
Yep.
So if I can get this one trolley out and get rid of that.
And we can get that one back up to Tesco.
Some of them are the farm foods trolleys, which they give to us.
Right.
Oh yeah, yes, yes.
I put it over here because I couldn't find my paper to write on it.
Thank you ever so much.
Have you got a baby due, have you?
Yeah, I've got a baby due and match.
All right.
Well, come back in.
Yeah.
We can do you a bundle of clothes.
Oh, that's all right.
Yeah, for free.
Okay.
Do you know what the baby is?
Thank you.
So are you going to be wanting pink stuff and neutral?
Pink?
I'm not really bothered, to tell you the truth.
As long as it's warm.
Match, she's going to want it anyway.
Oh yeah, she's going to want warm stuff, yeah.
So it's sunny.
You know the one that comes down here?
Probably.
The one that screams all the time.
Oh, I don't know.
Well, it's for him, his little baby.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
So I'll give that the air wash.
I'll get a cover for that there.
I haven't seen anybody screaming more than normal.
No, we all scream, don't we?
Yeah, I like that.
Some days do it.
I'll get a little blanket and things for that there now.
All right, we'll do you a bundle of clothes then.
All right, thank you.
Here we are, we've got an order.
We've got an order in, Sammy.
I've found another trolley full.
