I can't hear properly now this morning, so you might have to shout at me today guys.
So we're clearing out a bit, so I'm gonna clean the floor up a bit now while I can get in there.
There's gaps, so stuff is definitely going guys.
I've moved this about, but look you can see now we've got plenty of gaps here.
Just having a look now, because if I can get those mattresses down there, then they're...
down there, in between the cupboards.
That one's a bit wide, but if I can slot some stuff down there, this is a bit the channel, because I had to pull it out yesterday, yes, I've got it out of the cabinet, but, yeah, you can see we are moving some stuff along here.
I just sold some pyjamas.
Now somebody came in for pyjamas.
Lovely.
Brilliant.
I could do with losing this rail, and we could do with putting these at these cardis on a rail somewhere, but I think we're still... the boutique clothes are going well in Caerphilly.
A lot of these were the ones that were in Blackwood, so it's good to rotate.
I haven't had a chance to refill them, somebody's had to fill a bag, as you can see.
So I've got to try and get those refilled.
Try and sort... well, I've sort of excavated this area now, a bit better than what it was.
So it's just what we can put back there now.
I've got some gaps, because we have got some china coming in this week.
We've told them to bring the china here, because believe it or not, we do have gaps.
I've just seen this shoe.
Where have I just seen this shoe?
I think it was in this box.
I've got a little box of toys that you can see.
You can't quite see it there.
Oh, but yeah, this guy, like, can you see how narcissistic they are?
These fellas.
And this is why we just straight away, as soon as they came in with narcissistic behaviour, we were like, nope, you're not coming in.
End of story.
Sorry, mate.
Off you go.
This is why we were like it, and we were like, yeah, don't even let him pass, do.
That's a good thing at the moment, by having it a little bit narrower in Pontypool.
There's been a few, on a few occasions, we've just stood there.
We had one that was on drugs the other day, and he went to come in, in Pontypool.
And Sammy was in the side of the shop, and I was outside the shop, but we blocked him from even trying to get in.
And we were like, no, we're closed, sorry.
And he couldn't get through.
Erm...
I don't know what would make my mind boggle, why they want to come to a baby bank in the first place, but there we are.
There we are.
We do sell other stuff.
But can you see how narcissistic these individuals are, and how obsessed?
He's now gone from coming in the shop, and slagging us off from the minute he walked into the shop, to now actively finding other platforms that we are on, as the baby bank and myself, and he didn't even interact with me, because I didn't see them when they came in.
I was sat down.
It was a young mother he saw.
So he thinks in his head that he is dealing with the young mother that wouldn't let him any further in his head.
That's what he thinks.
But that's how he is behaving towards a young mother.
You know, that's what he thinks in his head.
Imagine if it was somebody who couldn't deal with narcissistic behaviour like that.
Who couldn't deal with it like I deal with it.
Where would the person be who he thinks he's dealing with it now?
I'm so glad we didn't let him in.
Because you can see what they're like.
You can see their behaviour like we just, like I said, we don't want to.
We don't need customers.
We can do this without customers.
Especially now we've got our numbers, because we're going to be having grants.
You know, I might get some boxes now of you stuff and pack some of these boxes away.
Because I've got a lot to unpack.
I've ordered.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to eat it.
Because I am really able to eat much.
It's an amazing order.
But yesterday I had mostly liquid.
But one of the mothers was like, oh, I want a cooked breakfast.
I was like, oh no, I want one.
Now I've seen it.
So I've ordered a cooked breakfast.
I'm going to have that delivered.
And see how I get on with that.
So I've told the guys now to give everybody deals and offers.
Because, you know, round it down.
Give them a good deal because I've got some more stuff coming in.
So nothing off the public, guys.
We've got our contracts to fulfil with other people and charities.
So nothing off the public until after Christmas, please, at least.
And we'll go from there.
If we get a warehouse, it will all change.
Because I will even redirect our charity partners.
And our house clearance partners and business partners to the warehouse.
Oh, God.
Sounds like some worries, but I think I'm getting better slowly.
I hope so because we've got a busy week.
I'm short staff next week.
I could do with one of our regular volunteers.
Maybe opening up Risca Caerphilly for us.
No point coming in if you're only going to do it for like two hours.
It's got to be like a full day, OK?
It's got to be like ten till four minimum.
Because obviously you can't do it if you're a new volunteer because you haven't had the training.
You've got to be.
I've had our training somewhere down the line.
You know, health and safety and all the rest of it.
Otherwise, we'd probably shut Risca.
Because it's the smallest one.
And Caerphilly is picking up a lot at the moment, so we'd rather keep Caerphilly open.
Keep that open for the regulars.
Risca, we know, will always bounce back because we've had to shut Risca a few times.
Pontypool and Caerphilly will definitely be open next week.
We might have to confirm the times for you.
I don't mind if you give me a wide berth today.
Yes, so I've got a gap up there.
I can put something big because we've sold some in there.
The drawers have been sold online.
Don't forget, if you see something you want, you can pay online for it.
And as long as it's picked up within a reasonable amount of time, we will, you know, we'll obviously hold it for you.
But we did have somebody who left chairs for three weeks and we just resold them.
They never come back, so I think they totally forgot.
You know, but I can't keep like seven chairs.
We sold seven chairs for 20 quid.
I mean, that's a bargain.
I can't keep them there for like indefinitely.
They were there for two or three weeks and they hadn't been collected.
So we just resold them.
And then obviously the money went into nappies.
The previous money went into the nappies because it was just never collected.
But I can't, what I can't do is hold it indefinitely, feel like that.
So yeah, I hope my hearing comes back.
I know it's going to be open.
I need volunteers.
We've got a lot of stuff coming in and some of it is in crates.
So I'm just going to leave it stored in crates.
But I'm going to need to move some stuff to put the crates behind because we just worry about them and they use time or whatever.
Whenever we get to the crates.
But yeah, like I said, please don't come into our shop.
If you don't like our shops, you don't like me, don't come in here.
Right?
It's as simple as that.
We just out you on Facebook and make you end up looking like a complete nutterdick.
Because that's what you look like.
I'm so glad we didn't let them in the shop because we had an ulterior motive.
And I think you can see that now.
I can't believe he's involved in all, you know, he seems to know a lot about this window smashing incident, which was not even connected to us.
Could you imagine what they would have done if we'd have let them in the shop?
How destructive they could have been with taking pictures or comments or reviews or, you know, passing stuff on to websites or, you know, passing stuff on to the other hate.
Can you imagine if they'd have come in more than two foot in our shop, how bad they would have behaved?
Because this is how they're behaving when we've stopped them from coming in.
So...
But see these men, these narcissistic men, they can't take it, especially off women.
They can't, when we say no, you're not coming in, they can't handle it.
Yeah, you know, if you look, a lot of our problems are by, are from women who are assertive and don't like being told no themselves.
Or...
Men that don't like being told no.
I mean, you know, they're picking on.
Like, there was two women in the shop that said no, and he's picking on two women.
Right?
No, I can take it.
This is why I get paid on Facebook to deal with these idiots, you know.
Like I say to people, let me deal with it.
But can you imagine if that was any other charity, right?
Or any other shop or any other baby bank or baby group, when they'd came in and they'd behaved in the way that they've behaved in the shop and online.
Threatening, you know, doing all this stupid nonsense on the Vinted account.
Right?
We've reported him to Vinted anyway, so hopefully now Vinted will take his accounts down.
I'll shut him up.
Because if you look, I mean, I didn't know him from Adam.
Until, you know, obviously they've given up their own names.
That's how dull these people are, they give up their own names.
I didn't know who they were.
I just said, don't come in here again.
But can you see?
Like he's obviously a reseller.
You can see that by his post.
So it's obviously going to affect him now, isn't it?
Because he isn't going to be able to pick up stuff for 75% off.
Because we don't interrogate people when they come through the door and say, you a reseller?
You know, I don't.
If they're a nuisance and we click they're a reseller, or they're going around scanning stuff, we say to them, no, no, you pay the full price.
Right?
Or if they're arsey about the prices and we say, no, no, off you go.
Go and pay triple in the charity shop down the street.
But nine out of ten times we don't interrogate people when they walk through the door.
So we don't know whether you're a reseller or not, do we?
You know, but what we're asking is that you be mindful about the way you're treated for mothers.
And we're trying to give the mothers the best deal first.
Yeah?
But, yeah, can you imagine if they'd walked into anywhere else and they were behaving like this now after being stopped from coming in?
Because I'm like Bat Fink, you know, like all wings of steel I have.
Because the other mother's like, oh, no, I said, don't even pay another attention.
I said, you just get on with what you're doing.
You get on with what you're doing.
Running the baby banks, going in there, helping people with stock, helping mothers that need help with clothes sizes.
You just let me deal with these dickheads.
I eat men like this for breakfast.
I'm not a shrinking violet.
I eat them for fucking breakfast, men like this.
But I'm so glad we didn't let them in because they obviously came in with an ulterior motive.
Definitely, didn't they?
I can't believe he's implemented himself now and there's another crime.
God, it's awful at the moment.
Not like when you... I feel like I've got water in my ears.
Really sensitive, they are.
You might have to shout at me today, so I won't ban you if you shout at me.
Just saying, how much is this?
I won't ban you if you shout at me today because I can't hear you.
I think I got...
A ready fried egg, I've asked for.
I got it from the Mountain Cafe.
Beans, sausage and bacon.
I think that's all I got.
Probably a bread item with that.
I should imagine on a hash brown.
And tomato sauce.
That sounds nice, doesn't it?
Them cookies were lovely, Daniel made last night, but the sugar went to my head.
But I haven't been eating as much, see?
Usually I'm all day and night, but because I've had a sore throat, I haven't been eating much.
I think the sugar went to my head last night off them cookies, but they were nice.
They were nice.
They were a little bit crispy.
And a little bit gooey.
Nice.
Proper biscuits.
He's going to make some more tonight because he got half the mix there.
Oh, gosh.
So my Chip and Dale...
Oh, I think they were Chipmunks.
Pajamas have sold.
I like them.
I was going to have them, but I've got hundreds of his pajamas.
Oh, Julie, I've got two baskets for you.
I've got this one.
Deeper one.
It don't matter if you don't use it for us.
I'm not worried because I know you do a lot of stuff for other charities.
So, you know, if we got baskets and baby dolls, I know that baby doll is no good.
Obviously we'll help you out with that.
So I've put another pair up now.
They're like our pound shop stuff, but I haven't got a price on them.
So there we are.
I've put another nice pair up.
They're lovely as well.
I don't like thick neck, so I wouldn't be able to wear that.
But they're nice.
They've got like a gold fleck.
That's a free box.
I've got to get a sign on that.
If anybody got a laminator and want to print off a sign saying free to customers and come down and stick it on.
That'd be fab.
Ten pound.
Pound.
Ten pound.
I don't know.
Three pound.
Whatever's our, you know, 75% now.
Two pound on the bouncer.
Two pound on this.
Two pound on that.
Fiver if the table's gone today.
This chair needs to go for free because it needs work.
Okay?
Ten on the bike.
That's a pound.
I don't know why it got a ten on it.
Pound.
Two pound on the shelf.
I got a couple of people interested in that car seat.
But I think it's up for a tenner.
We do it for a fiver.
I don't know what other bits in.
That's all the wool I got.
Pound if the photo's gone today.
Um...
I don't know.
Five pound on a suitcase.
I like this table, so I'm going to keep it a ten.
They'll be whatever.
Seventy five.
Seventy five.
Ten on the stool because it's a nice one.
And if I stand on it, I can reach everything.
So it's useful to me.
I don't know.
Three pound.
What's on that?
Ten.
Five if you take a day.
Forty on the bike.
These are pyjamas, but I need clear ones, I do.
So if anybody got any clear plastic bags like this.
Or like the dress bags.
Can you bring them in?
Because obviously people can't see them if they're in there.
But the pyjamas sell really well.
And the dressing gowns.
This is a nice one.
I think it's a dressing gown.
But you can't see it, see?
It's a dressing gown.
So that would be one twenty five today with a seventy five percent off, guys.
But if you've got any clear bags like this.
Can you drop them off to us?
Or big clear plastic.
Because of the rain now.
Look, we've got to like tie it up and put it in there.
But they sold because they were at the front, hanging up.
I've got a lady interested in this.
And another one over at Pontypool.
And we're not sure if it's still in there.
The...
It's not a gym, but you know what I mean.
It's in a zoo.
But this is widening up quite well by year now, isn't it?
And how long have we stopped the donations for?
A couple of weeks.
I've got to tidy up the pyjamas.
I've got nice pyjamas.
They're all set.
They've got to be tidied.
I'll give us a clean now while I'm waiting on the breakfast.
And then this is a little bit piled up, I think.
But I think it's something that we can work with.
And I don't know what ornaments are coming in.
But the lady said this used to collect salt.
Her father used to collect salt and pepper sets and stuff.
So all lovely stuff again in there.
Oh, I can get there now to put mugs up.
Oh, hang on.
That's a nice one, that.
If you buy...
If you're doing like a hamper for Christmas...
Oh, he won't fit on.
Oh, he's skinny.
I love him.
If you're doing a hamper for Christmas, we've got some lovely mugs in, guys.
Really nice ones.
I think I must have bought smaller hocks for Dan to put up.
For the look of it.
Oh, we've got Her Majesty.
The only good one left.
Well, I don't know, I like Catherine.
I like Catherine and William.
I think they're good.
I think Charles... Oh, that's a nice one, isn't it?
Thomas Joseph, probably expensive one, I think.
Is it of wittards?
Whimsical, nothing to do with that.
Absolutely nothing to do with wittards.
Oh, he won't fit on there.
Let's put him up there.
I like Catherine and William.
But I think Charles have pulled it back a little bit because of booting out the Andrew.
I think he's done well by doing that.
But...
Other than that, I don't think...
I don't mind Harry and Meghan.
I think they get a bit of bad press that they don't need.
I think it's just people pick on them.
I don't know.
I don't know.
What do you think of Harry and Meghan?
I like Harry.
You know, he'd always be that little boy that was dragged through the streets behind his mother's coffin for me.
You know, and there was no need for it.
He was only there so that women Prince Charles didn't get assassinated while he was walking down the street.
The reason the kids were there.
Public sympathy.
But...
I'm going to put him on the end, I think.
Because I think he might go if a member sees him.
Erm...
But apart from that...
I don't know anybody else in the Royal Family.
I mean, Fugie's a bloody mess, isn't she?
Fugie's a complete mess.
What a coffin model that is.
I don't think he'd sit flat.
So I don't want to put him up there if he wants to sit flat.
That's OK.
I can just lay a few bits down here.
Look.
Every inch used, isn't it, guys?
Who's this now on Vinted?
Vinted are looking in there.
Oh, I think it's a genuine mother asking about the clothes.
Hey!
Hey, that's good news, isn't it?
People are going to start shipping to America on Vinted.
I mean, I don't know how it's going to work and how it's going to play out.
You know, because that means if we can do the filler bag for a fiver and it's worth it with the shipping, because I don't know how much the shipping would be, then that means that the mums can have a bag full of clothes, can't they?
In America now.
That's good.
Oh, we've got to take over the world, guys.
We're on the cusp of taking over the world.
What's happened here?
What's happened here?
Oh, books.
We've forgotten about the books for this one.
So if we get any books in the other shops now, like self-help books for mothers, weaning, breastfeeding, anything like that, you know, meals for children, toddlers from hell, whatever, bring them, now pull them over, so we can get this free book stand up and running for mothers.
All right.
So that's for the volunteers if we see them, because I know Pontypool's stand is quite full.
So we need to bring them over here now a little bit, and then we can fill that up and the mothers can just borrow a book, say it was buy you one on Amazon or whatever.
Still quite chesty, as you can hear.
But I feel better.
Snotty and chesty I am, but I'll be all right.
I'll live.
I think I'll live.
I'll live to fight another day with these morons, guys.
Oh, I don't know what to do with some more rails.
Oh, and the cover for this is over Pontypool.
We sent it over Pontypool to wash.
I haven't seen it since.
Got to try and find that.
Might get some more pyjamas up, because I think people are looking now for nice pyjamas, because it's that weather, isn't it?
So I need to get some of the pound clothes out, maybe, on the other side.
Well, it's dry.
Put them on the other side of that bannister.
Don't forget we take in cartridges now.
We've got little things in there.
Been accepted for that.
Not a lot of room.
Or a little bit of room, I think.
If I got on the stool and then condensed, I think we would get a lot more up there.
I think.
But I'd need to be on the stool to see it.
Oh.
Someone found a property for us.
Perhaps we should do it.
Like some of these big companies, like B&Q and all, if you find a property, you win a prize if they sign the lease and they go in there or a bit of land.
If you help find a good area for them.
Well, somebody's found a property for us, Pontypool Way.
I think.
I don't know.
It's not a warehouse.
But I think what it would be is like another shop and, you know, storage in another shop.
That's what it would be.
But I'm going to give them a shout.
And I think if council run, well obviously now we've got the CIC number.
You can have these places for peppercorn rents, can't you?
So we've got a couple.
We've got a couple in mind.
There's another one in Cofiddy.
Well.
How's your opinions about Harry?
Complaint.
What?
Oh, some of your opinions should be kept.
I think it's my personality that pays the bills, Jackie.
Don't forget I get paid on Facebook for my personality.
Do you like Harry?
Are you not a Harry fan?
Oh, I don't think Harry should have been marched through the streets behind his mother's coffin as a child.
And I think they did that because if they'd have sent out, well, the brother, I think Spencer, I can't think of his name, he was going to walk behind the coffin regardless, wasn't he?
He was like, no, I'm not listening to any of you.
This is what I'm going to be doing.
So then they said, well, Charles is going to have to go now because it's going to look well if Spencer's out there and he isn't.
But then they were like, well, Charles is going to get bloody assassinated if he walks behind that coffin because the royal family was not liked at that particular moment in time during Diana's death.
We've got an entirely new debate now, guys, going on.
Wash your opinions, put your opinions on there, guys.
So then they had to send out Philip and then they were like, yeah, but you could still get shot or you could still get attacked because the opinion of the royal family at the time of Diana's death was not good because of the way that they reacted.
So PR-wise, it was a bad time for the royal family.
I'm a big royalist.
I follow the royals a lot.
And I don't think those boys should have walked behind that coffin.
I think that is...
I think that's something that will stay in my mind for a very long time that they have to go and do with that, walking through the streets.
I mean, it rocked the entire world, the death of Diana, and people are traumatized all over the world with it.
And poor boys have to walk through the streets behind their mother's coffin.
I mean, it's awful, isn't it?
I think they shouldn't have had to do that.
Not publicly like that.
That's traumatized them boys for life.
But it's also made them into the men they are today.
But that's what opinion is about.
And that's what debates are about today, guys.
You can have a debate and not get into an argument or a slanging match on Facebook about it.
So what's your opinions?
I like Harry.
And I follow a lot of things called...
I follow a lot of things on YouTube called Murky Meg and things like that.
And they come up with the most ridiculous theories of Meg and Marco.
And I'm like, I really don't think she's got that much about her, really.
I really don't think she is that manipulative person trying to get to the top of the royal family in the White House.
Unless you've watched them.
You don't really know.
But I like Harry and Meg.
I like William and Catherine.
I'm not a fan of anybody else.
Oh, and I like Princess Anne.
She works hard.
I do like Princess Anne as well.
But I don't know.
What's your opinions, guys?
What's your opinions on the royal family?
You know, I'm not going to bid anybody else over it.
That's the whole point in being able to debate.
And I think people have lost the ability to debate.
Because I could have an opinion and you could have an opinion and we could both be wrong, couldn't we?
But that is the art of debation, isn't it?
You know?
But yeah, I like William and Kate.
But I don't know, because Kate is unwell.
And are they going to...
Are they going to take it on?
I mean, William has stepped up.
But is she going to be well enough to take it on when Charles goes?
You know, because the prophecy is that Harry will be king, you see.
That's the Notre Dame's prophecy, is that Harry will be king.
So will he step down?
But then if he abdicates, who does it go to then?
Will it go to the brother?
Because I thought if...
We're into something completely different now, aren't we guys?
I thought if Charles abdicated, it would go to the next in line.
Which would have been Andrew.
Not necessarily William.
It goes to the next one in line in that age group.
But I know that Catherine asked the Queen to change the role of succession to Catherine.
Charlotte.
So I don't know...
Say that anything happens to their first child.
What's his name?
I can't think of his name though.
Then Charlotte would be next in line, not Louis.
So the Queen did change the role of succession for females.
So would it be Anne?
Because Anne would make a good Queen.
I think she would be very good.
But I don't know.
If Charles was to step down, would it automatically go to William?
And if William was to step down, would it automatically go to...
Harry?
Or does it go to...
What's their first child called?
I can't remember.
Yes, yeah, it would be Charlotte.
What's the first one called?
Lisa, I can't think of the first one's name.
My senior review about Daniel too the other day.
Thank you very much.
I haven't put it on because I haven't been well.
And dealing with these idiots on the side, you know what they're like.
What's the first child called?
I can't think of his name.
Oh, it's gone.
I would welcome William and Kate, but I don't know because she hasn't been well.
So I don't know if they're going to take it on or will they just...
Because they've got their new house now, haven't they?
I don't remember where that is.
And they publicly said that they're paying for all the renovations in there.
And the adaptations, etc.
So will she step down and not be Queen and King?
I think that's the only thing that would stop them from not being Queen and King is illness, I think.
George.
That's who their eldest son is.
It's George, isn't it?
Prince George.
So I don't know.
I don't know.
But yes, the line of succession was changed when Charlotte was a couple of years old.
The Queen did that as a gesture for Catherine and Charlotte.
So if... because the line of succession has been changed.
So if Charles was to abdicate or step down or whatever it is, would it go to Anne?
I don't know.
I don't know, guys.
I don't know.
That's the debate for today, isn't it?
The Royal Family.
