Right, so I've had a few customers in, guys.
I'm trying to sort some stuff out now.
I'm pulling some bags out and just nice candle holders and stuff in there.
Obviously, come in today we'll do you a deal.
Look at this, fab.
Your dinosaur on it.
Look at it.
So, look, lovely stuff in today so far.
I haven't unpacked those glasses because I just don't think we've got room to put them out.
Just, I don't know what we're gonna do with them.
Anyway, we've got loads of stuff.
We're on doing loads of deals.
Thank you to everybody.
We've now got our number.
Blah, blah, blah.
We're about to take over the world.
He's still here.
I can't believe it.
So, anyway, this is still here.
It needs re-home in.
Vintage item free.
I need a home.
He needs a home, guys.
He's free.
Christmas is flying out.
We're about to take over the world.
So, what about... I'm very aware that from the very, very beginning, when we first started, that our customers travel around our shops.
Okay, they go to Risca, they go to Caerphilly, they've gone to Blackwood, they've gone to Alba Barger, they've gone to Bryn Maw, they've gone from Blackwood to Bryn Maw, they've gone from Pontypool to Caerphilly shop, you know.
Right, and back on, back on.
So, I'm fully aware that our customers travel around to come and see us.
So, if you're traveling more than 10 miles to come and see us from now on, we're going to add the 10 mile plus club allowance.
Okay, so when you come in, if you've traveled more than 10 miles, okay, to come and see us, we're going to start letting you have something that's like £3.50 for free to cover your petrol.
Okay, I can't give as a discount because we need stuff gone.
So, it'll help us because you will have £3.50.
You know, if you've got an electric car, perhaps we'll do double.
What do you think?
But otherwise, if you're traveling 10 miles plus, we will, you can pick up, you've got £3.50 to spend in the shop before you even start, when you get here.
Okay, I can't do it.
So, so if we're buying something that's like £10, you pick up something that's £10.
It needs to be another item, it does, right, rather than a discount because I need, like, if you buy that, I need you to take this, you know, because we've got so much, we're never going to run out of stock, are we?
So, it's something I've been thinking about for a while.
And I'm very aware that from the very start, five years ago, customers have been traveling around to come and see us.
And we do appreciate you guys, you know, petrol isn't cheap.
Nothing is cheap, is it, today?
Nothing.
Everybody's struggling.
So, I think if you're 10 miles plus, which means you are going out of your way to come to our shop.
I mean, we had some, we had a family that came to Caerphilly shop from, what was it, Tafts Wells?
Where was it?
I hadn't even heard of it.
Oh, I can't even remember.
They were in Tafts Wells, because I know Tafts Wells, it was somewhere else.
But they came, didn't they?
Oh, look at that.
Vintage jigsaws there.
No bitching in my kitchen.
That's fab.
What is it?
Like a stationary set or a folder or something.
Fam.
No bitching in my kitchen.
Oh, is Ed Sheeran gone?
Oh no, he's still bloody there.
Still there.
Perhaps we'll have to do him as a booby prize or something.
Ed, nobody wants him.
He's been here a long time now.
He's been here longer than some of the staff.
Oh, look at that little locker.
Oh my God, guys, honestly, don't waste your money now going to B&M and things for Christmas.
Honestly, right?
And the rest of them, come here.
Because look at the stuff we got.
Look, you wouldn't even call it.
Stuff in there, I don't know.
Tons of stuff, booty full of stuff.
So yeah, that's what we're going to do.
If you're 10 miles plus and you come to visit us, try and let us know in advance.
Oh, look at them.
Oh, I love the colors on them.
Oh, you're going to be in our 10 mile plus club.
Oh, he's cool.
That's handmade.
That's fab.
So you could have that for free.
Yeah.
So rather than you buying something that's 10 pounds and it's taking 350 off it, right?
You pick up something else that's like £3.50 or less for free.
How does that sound?
Because it helps us get rid of stuff.
It helps us recycle.
It helps us off.
Oh, look at that.
It's like a little chair.
It's like a mobile phone.
I love this.
So you'd sit your mobile phone in that.
Look at it.
That's so cool.
I bet that would be so exciting.
I was going to say, I bet, I think it's £7 in clays and we've got it up for 350.
So without crazy discounts, it would be £3.50 or you can have it for free.
Imagine if you bought somebody something for Christmas, like lip glosses or something, your little girl, and you just sat them in there on top of their presents and then put their little teddy in there.
Look at the little squishmallow.
You usually have a squishmallow kicking about, don't you?
You could like, although I need to tell you how to put your Christmas presents out, but I'm just thinking, oh, if I had a little girl, you could just get a little teddy as well.
And sit him right down on top of the presents.
That's so cool.
I didn't know where we go because I've had a couple of days off at this shop and maybe in the other shop.
So and they're still opening stuff over here that we haven't got around to opening.
So they're still finding stuff.
They're still on the road to discovery over here.
What's this thing?
Honestly, guys, I wouldn't go nuts on Christmas buying stuff brand new, especially if they're little, they haven't got a clue.
If they're little, they haven't got a clue, guys.
Come here, right?
Because we've juiced everything down.
I've got bags down there.
I've just had to open and walk away from because I'm having a sensory overload a minute.
Honestly, guys, beautiful stuff.
Look.
Honestly.
And not just us.
Look at this.
This looks like it's been handmade.
Look at that.
Doesn't that look handmade?
Yes.
So any secondhand shop, don't go nuts.
Don't go putting yourselves in debt for Christmas, guys.
Don't forget, we're still doing pay weekly as well, OK?
If you want it for Christmas, you've got to pick it up by the 20th, I think.
I can't remember what days I put down, but it'll be whatever the last day it is that Sammy is in this shop, right?
Because we will be away.
So we won't be here.
So we won't be here over Christmas to give you nappies and food banks.
So you need to get yourself sorted before we go away, OK?
Because we're having a break.
So we'll be working on holiday, I expect, because we've got websites and pages and stuff to work on and we're always doing something.
So I'm sure we'll be on holiday working.
But honestly, guys, don't go putting yourself in debt for Christmas.
There are some beautiful items here.
Look, I've just opened this lot up now.
I've got to watch because I've got kids back and forth.
Oh, my God, if the neighbours see and pick up anything that's free out the front, for God's sake.
Maybe you're the bloody end of it, would I?
Maybe you're the bloody end of it.
Oh, they're so miserable, aren't they, these haters?
They haven't got a sense of humour in their body, have they?
They haven't got a scrap of sense of humour.
What's this?
Oh, put your toilet rolls in, I reckon.
Oh, look at that!
That's nice.
Oh, look at that, little boy.
We've got some off-price TVs, DVDs and LPs, no income tax, no VAT, no money back, no guarantee.
Let's wind the heat because I wound them up this week, didn't we, because they weren't expecting us to come up with a number, were they?
That's pretty, she's beautiful.
They weren't expecting that, the bag didn't ruin their Christmas for them, that, haven't it?
Could have had that number all along.
I just didn't want it, couldn't be arsed, didn't want it.
Look at him.
Oh, my God, I love him.
Oh, my God.
I love him.
I love him.
Don't waste your money now, guys.
Honestly, come to us or one of the other shops.
There's hundreds of second-hand shops and they're under, you know, don't go buying everything brand new now, especially when they're little, honestly.
I made the mistake years ago, gosh, you know, my mother and me bought so much for Daniel when he was born.
He bought even two months by Christmas.
It was like a ridiculous, like a three-day opening of presents.
We didn't need it, you know, you didn't need it because you could have everything we could have picked up in the charity shops.
I got one of them in the house.
It's exactly the same.
Actually, I think it's a bit bigger.
Look, how can you not take him home for Christmas?
He'd be 50p today.
How can you not?
Well, we've got tons, honestly.
And my last customer was like, oh, how much will this be now?
I said, oh, cheap.
Cheap.
I said, we've got tons.
I don't care.
Now we've got the number.
Now we can get some grants.
So, you know, we can bring the prices down indefinitely now.
Calmly.
We've got the donations.
We've got the... We've proved we can do it.
We can prove we can do it better than anybody else.
Can't cope with the volume of stock.
I'll put my hands up to that one, but there we are.
Could anybody else?
Could anybody else do better with the volume of stock that we get?
No, you couldn't.
So, you know, unless you had 15 weird houses and a team of people and the rest of it.
But colour rewind.
What's that?
Oh, colour remover.
Oh, I see.
Put it on your hair.
Take the colour out.
Start again.
Hope for the best.
Don't forget, we've got Tesco cards available if you want to use our Tesco cards to put your point.
Right, they're connected.
Look at these.
They light up and they're animals.
I don't know where to keep them.
I'll get a dad and he'll be down because there's no light in there.
But he could put those up there or something, couldn't he?
How cool would that be?
Oh, look at that bag.
