What are you trying to say, Graham - 24 Oct 2025 - (2,643 words) - Jaynes Baby Bank

What are you trying to say, Graham?
You're trying to say that my shop ain't tidy?
I just need your pose.
Yes.
Well, actually, I felt... I do like those big bins and they were really light to wheel around.
I've seen them before.
I felt it was very busy in there because there was a lot of people in there as well.
And I'm wondering, like, from a customer point of view, is that how people feel in our shops?
Because our shops are very, very full, aren't they?
And, you know, when you get two or three people in here, is that how people feel in our shop?
Because our shop is a bit more emptied in than their shop was.
So, yes, not a lot I can do with that unless I can have a shop tonight.
I'm actually... I don't really want one tonight.
I'm actually looking forward to having a break now.
We've paid up our holiday, right?
It's already over Christmas now.
It's done.
Paid and paid, you know, paid.
From my personal account haters, out of my own money, I'm...
We've paid up.
I'm ready to go.
I'm ready to go.
We'll pack.
We pack, like, when we go on holiday.
But I'm actually glad of the break.
I haven't been well this year.
And I'm better than what I was, but I've gone backwards a little bit with staff.
But actually, I'm looking forward to the break and not taking in donations and not having that obligation to recycle everything.
It's killing me, mine.
It's actually, you know, because we haven't stopped for five years taking in donations.
And we've had a few stints.
We've got no donations this week in this shop or whatever.
But in all fairness, we haven't stopped recycling for five years.
You know, and I feel bad because I'm not doing it.
But it's nice to have a break.
You know, we're still getting stuff because obviously we're still having stuff off our partners.
These books are going to take longer to go, look, because they're like a 10.
Well, it'll be 2.50 today, but you watch out for everybody coming out again and again.
But they're online.
I've got them online.
Because these are, you know, the physiology one, look, it's 15.
These are obviously, God, I'm only lifting two.
It's killing me.
These are more of a considered purchase, aren't they?
And it's not something, you know, just a random person, unless you're like an ax murderer, like I said, would buy, or you're looking to dismember a body, would buy on the way past.
It would be a student, isn't it?
It's going to be a student or a doctor or nurse or somebody in pharmacology that's going to buy these things, isn't it?
It's not going to be a passerbyer.
So it's a niche market.
But yeah, I am glad, guys, that I'm having a bit of a break from it.
You know, like I said, we're not going to be doing a Christmas event because the shops are so full.
Unless we get somewhere.
If we get somewhere, which would have to be cheap for me to just go, go on, then we'll have that one tonight, because I just need, I need the break physically.
Then we won't be doing a Christmas event.
I mean, we can pull it together.
I know I can't, but and it's been nice not to do.
I don't know, do we do an Halloween event?
I think we've done a few things for Halloween, but it's nice to just pull it right back.
I just do what we're doing at the moment.
This is why I haven't started picking up, because if you know us, when we first started and Nicola Williams had us running around everywhere for food, just so she could get the totals and the bonuses.
We were the ones who distributed all the food.
We had about 100 crates of food a night and we were giving that out as well, as well as giving stuff out from our drive.
But we scaled our right back to launch our shops.
And then eventually we will bring the food probably in.
Oh, I'd rather bring it into the shop so everybody can access it.
That's why I like to be on a high street, because mums can access it via bus.
Yeah, not everybody drives.
Worst case scenario, we'll have to give out the fresh food in one location and you'll have to travel to it, which is not what I want to do.
But there we are, we might have to do that.
But that's why I haven't taken on massive amounts of food, because I can't do it.
Because the food will be priority then.
Because the food is on a short date if it's the fresh fish I'd go.
It's the stuff you pick up from the supermarket that's got to go straight away.
So that will be my priority.
To get rid of that straight away.
The families will need it, and you know, farmers and...
Oh god, you're kidding me, these books.
Farmers and other people and what not.
Animals and things.
And then, obviously, then opening the shops is the priority and the safety of the shops, and then the shopping.
So everything needs to take a big step back.
So that's why I haven't done it yet.
But that will be the next big kick off with these groups.
And these haters guys, is when we start taking on the food.
I've already warned the volunteers.
Because we've only taken on little bits of food and they've kicked off.
You've seen what they like.
Doing a couple of good to go bags to see how they go and what have you.
And you've seen how they've kicked off.
So once we start taking on the vast quantities of the food and giving it to the people who actually need it.
Not selling it to them.
That's when it's going to kick off.
Because that's the only trump card that they've got, isn't it?
Is the food.
And the waste has got to sell it back to you, haven't they?
I've got four bags, I can't lift the four.
I've got to lift the two.
I can't even stand, I can't hold them.
See, they're so big, I can't hold two in my hands.
These have got to be a one at a time job.
Human anatomy and a medicine one.
But I'm just thinking they would sit there now forever and a day until they go, wouldn't they?
And somebody from the outside might see them and say to their friend or something, oh they've got tons of medical books in there.
Plus they're online to look at.
Watch, now everybody's coming for these now.
I have to move everything again.
So yeah, that would be their next big kickoff now is when we take on the food because that's what they don't want us doing, you see.
Trying to waylay us with other stuff so that we don't start taking on the food and making them look bad because they're all selling it.
The majority of them sell it.
The majority of them only give it to their friends.
But the reality is I'm not well enough to be lifting crates of food and sorting through crates of food.
You know, because I can't guarantee I'm going to be in tomorrow, can I?
Because I'm so ill.
I mean, I do try and push myself.
I know that because I want to keep busy.
I don't want to be sitting in the house getting depressed.
I'd rather be doing something, you know.
Even if it's just sat there sometimes talking to people or uploading to social media.
It's better than sitting in the house, isn't it?
The best thing you can do is get up, get dressed and go.
So that's what I had to do, guys.
But I have enjoyed this break not taking in piles of donations because I don't think you realise how many we get.
I know you see it on the videos, but I don't think you realise just how much we get.
Right, I think that's it.
I hope that's it.
Anyway, I think that'll look quite good, but they are now.
And they'll sit there for a while.
People are just looking at them through the window, aren't they?
Let's get these little snowman legs in the front there.
What else can I put in the front, guys?
Like I'm all dizzy now, don't you?
These little bits in there.
Oh, God.
And that's all, then.
And then I'll take you around, doesn't it, guys?
And you can have a little look if you can give the final say on it.
So I made a right mess by you, but I think I've got more in the window, which is better, isn't it?
There, I think that looks better because...
They're watching me come in now and ask for physiology or molecular biology or the G or something.
I'm probably quite weird.
The front is not too bad, but let's have a look now, guys.
What can we do?
Oh, he's going to put the babies in the front, won't he?
Oh, yeah, are you all right?
I was going to put the babies in the front.
Did this thing move, though?
Did it move an inch or two?
Ooh.
Oh, gosh, yeah.
History of world in 100 objects.
What?
Daniel had a book.
I could see him.
I could feel him on the video.
He was doing a video and he was like, I could finish up.
And he was like, I could see him on the video and he was like something about lobster, cooking lobster in a hubcap or something.
And he was like looking at the title going, this is the most randomness title ever.
And he didn't say the title.
This is a history of the world in 100 objects.
That's all right.
Don't know if you've got a history buff.
If you've got a history buff, you've got to buy a gift for or you know someone or you're a history buff.
Don't have to all be about gifting, does it?
Right, so I've got that in there.
So let's get the babies now on the top.
Is there?
I don't know what you're going to see.
I think you're going to only see out the window.
It might be better now if I turn you around.
Is there?
What are you facing now, guys?
I can't see.
I think this is too high.
It's going to be too high for you there.
You need to come down and you need to come down to complete history of the physical exam to be propped up against, right.
Can you see now?
Thank you, Pam.
Right.
Oh, I'd be a dreadful reborn man.
Oh, go away, rain.
Go away, rain.
Get on my nerves now.
I'd be a dreadful reborn man.
Wouldn't I have lost Kevin?
Couldn't find these ones.
Oh, it's dreadful, isn't it?
It's alright.
No, no, you're alright.
Don't worry.
It's just hammered down, isn't it?
It's just hammered down.
I know.
Here we are.
So we've got the babies in the window, guys.
What can
I put there?
I really feel I could be better with the toys out now.
They were in the window.
But I think I would be better with the toys out of the window.
Because...
Put that in that mug.
Well, that's where I've got to go with that mug.
Because I think the toys are going to go faster now.
Because I think people are starting to think, oh, well, no, I need to get something.
But don't go buying brand new stuff, guys.
There's no need for it any more, right?
We know how everybody's struggling.
And...
When they're little, they don't know any different, guys.
You know, we were on about it today.
One of our followers, supporters, has supported us a very long time.
She said, oh, my daughter wants everything new.
I was like, for Christmas, you know?
And we were like, no, tell her no.
And she's like, I have.
And she's like, you don't need to buy all new for littlings over Christmas, you know?
You don't need to.
And they're older, and they're teenagers.
Yeah, you've gone older.
Save yourself some money now.
And...
Save yourself some money.
Don't stress yourselves out now over Christmas.
Pop into the...
Don't have to be over shopped.
Could be any shop, guys.
Don't have to be over shopped.
We know that.
Any shop.
Getting a bit random now.
A pop of the breath.
Oh, God.
I feel really like...
So, what's the move in those books?
Let's see.
I've got a few cheaper stuff I have here.
I mean, it's always a good thing to have a cheap stuff in the window.
Back and forth, then.
All of a sudden, getting stuff out.
Oh, I never got...
Remember when Jude and Steve chucked all that money?
Pound stuff in the window.
Only a sample, like, whatever in the window, getting it out.
Yep, that did.
When you're doing a window, put expensive stuff in there because you'll be in and out, in and out, 24-7, getting stuff in and out the window for people.
So, what you want to do is put your considered purchases in a window because they're more likely then to think about it before you pull it out and go, no, I don't want it now, as well.
Because that happens.
You climb in a window and then somebody doesn't want it.
Which is fine.
It happens, guys.
We know it happens, you know.
I always see everything in a window.
But when it's up, down, up, down, because everything is like a pound, then that's when it's hard to look then.
Well, I was going to put another stack over here.
A blooming cookery box.
I don't know what to do now.
What do I want to do?
Well, I've got to get something in this gap.
So, what space have I got down the bottom?
Oh, here we go.
Oh, great.
Can I shut you all in?
What do you want to leave me?
Oh, I've got this bamboo curtain, which might not sell until next year.
Because it's like...
What are you doing, guys?
You put it up in your doorway.
But it's more likely to sell for like summer.
When you've got midges about...
So...
I've got to put that in there.
Let me watch you go now, have you?
Oh, can I get out of the window?
Yes.
There's a train.
I can't believe this train tour track is amazing.
You can go put books on that in a children's room.
It don't have to be toast.
I can't believe it's still here.
I bet that was mega expensive to buy originally, too.
You know a train enthusiast.
Get them that and a loaf of brussels.
That would be so funny.
Especially if they love their trains.
They will love that.
Oh, I've got another baby.
I've got three babies.
Oh, I didn't know I had three babies.
Oh, I'd be a dreadful reborn mum.
They'd all be dead, wouldn't they, guys?
I'd be awful.
Bloody hell.
Didn't even know I had three rebones.
What if we photographed these three rebones?
Because I could have sworn by me only had two.
Hang on now.
Right, hang on, guys.
I've got to have to photograph these.
Because I don't know how many we've got.
One there, one there.
Oh, hang on.
Hang on, guys.
I'll be organised one day.
