Morning, guys.
Oh, I thought I was gonna have a snow day in bed with the cats and the electric blanket.
Nope, off to work.
Right, so we're doing our filler bag for a tenner.
There is exclusions, but I think the community really appreciated that and we really appreciated some of the stuff going.
So, I think we'll do it again.
It's at Caerphilly as well.
So, fabulous.
Crack on with that.
We've got a live on Saturday, 6 o'clock.
So, we're gonna sell some items as well, primarily clothes and some other bits that's building up.
I've got a big box of children's shoes, I think, in Caerphilly shops.
I'll probably do it from there.
And then we've got some free beauty stuff that's coming that we're gonna do a giveaway with to wear those on.
Now, we can post stuff to you, but I can't deliver, but you can collect them from another shop.
You need to pay on the night, okay?
Because it needs to be paid for on Sunday.
If they don't fit or whatever afterwards, yes, we can exchange them.
If you bring them into the shop to exchange, not a problem.
So, if you want to be involved in this giveaway on Saturday and the sale on Saturday, then you need to request to be added, because you won't be able to comment otherwise, and we might be too busy during the live to actually add you at that time.
There will be moderators in the comments, but if anybody is a nuisance, then we're just going to stop it and delete and block you, and make you look a fool, and then you'll carry on with what we're doing.
If you don't like us, don't watch us.
If you don't want to support us, you don't have to.
There's lots of other people you can support out there, but we're really grateful for the people who do support us, so thank you very much.
So, you will only be in the chance of winning the LMS kit if you're a customer on the night, okay?
We've got to put some restrictions on it, because obviously we are fundraising.
We get up in the morning, we fundraise, we go to bed at night, and hopefully we've fundraised in our sleep.
That's the way you do it professionally.
Now, some of these products, right, because I actually had somebody message me the other day saying about a booty sponges, which I'd thrown in the washing machine, and then got them out and put them in the free box.
Now, that person was spoken to by a family member about their behaviour, because they were like, really?
Because I could have washed those makeup sponges, and I could have thrown them in the free box instead of landfill.
But then a painter or a decorator or an artist might have come along and got all of them sponges for paint.
Not necessary to put makeup on.
So we'll just put that down to somebody's naivety.
But some of the beauty products that come in may be open.
They might be a bottle of shampoo that's been tested, you know, by somebody who didn't like it.
They may be a palette of makeup which has been swatched.
And do you know what?
That's okay.
That's okay, because girls swap their makeup all the time.
Girls swap their clothes all the time.
Girls borrow each other's shoes.
That's what we do, right?
That's what, that's what women and girls and supporters of women do.
And anybody who identifies as a woman will tell you the same thing, that they have borrowed clothes.
Or somebody else who identifies as a woman.
Or maybe a wig, or maybe shoes, or maybe a hair piece or something.
Or a lipstick.
You know, very often I've gone somewhere and I've had strangers and they...
Oh, I've been in a club or something like that years ago.
And somebody has said, Oh, have you got any sanitary items?
And girls give them that.
Or they will say, Oh, no, I've lost my lipstick.
And the girls will say, Well, do you want to borrow some of mine?
Or somebody might say, Oh, no, I'm going to eyelash glue or my nail will come off and say, Hang on, I've got to glue somewhere in the bottom of my bag.
That's what girls do.
So anybody that comes on to the live and goes, Use it, you use it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And somebody swatched our palette.
Get a life.
Get a life and get a grip.
Because that's not what we're about.
We're about reusing and recycling.
And there's lots of people online that actually take make-up palettes and actually turn them into paint and paint with make-up as well.
Yeah.
There's little girls out there that have their mother's old make-up or their auntie's old make-up and put it on their dolls.
That's what they do.
There's little boys out there that do the same thing.
Yeah.
So if you don't like our content, don't watch it.
Because either way, I get paid.
Either way, I donate that pay to the baby bank.
So the only person that is upsetting is you.
Because I think it's hysterical I get paid for you not liking me.
And so do all our followers.
And all you do is make us more famous by the day.
So just to be aware that all these products may not be new.
Okay?
Some are new.
Some are brand new.
Some never used.
Some are worth a lot of money.
Some may not be worth a lot of money.
Okay?
But the old point of this setting up the baby bank was to do it for as free as possible.
Okay?
Because I know that all these other charities and all these other little groups, right?
Especially the ones that have shut down or the ones that have walked.
Oh!
I have to leave.
I have to leave.
I have to leave.
I have to resign.
All of those ones you've got to resign or you're going to get pushed.
Trust me.
You wouldn't have had a choice in it.
All these other ones, that elements set would have been straight up for a raffle.
For money.
Perfect.
Straight up sell.
Sell, sell, sell, sell, sell.
If they'd even got to be seen by the public.
Because they probably would have been sold to staff.
But I can't prove that.
But what I can prove is that every time we get a donation in, especially of something that may be deemed of value, like perfume, like cosmetics, we take the picture straight away and we put it online and we say ta-da!
Look what we've had donated.
How brilliant.
And then we try and do something as useful as we can with it.
We do have cosmetics for sale.
Very often I get a lot of tannin stuff in.
And I just put it straight up for sale because I just think, well, it doesn't really go well on the food bank.
Nobody comes in and says, oh my god, never mind food, my tannin's running out.
Maybe I should start a tannin bank.
I don't know.
So I tend to, anything that comes in is to do with tannin.
I put it up for sale straight away and there's so much tannin products out there.
I don't tannin at all.
I haven't used a sunbed in the past and what have you.
But the only reason I go in the sun is to keep warm.
I don't tannin at all.
And I never tannin.
I took tannin tablets once and I ended up looking like I was about to die.
I looked like I had jaundice.
I got none of the sort of melatonin in my skin.
So I never brown off.
So I always put them up for sale and they always sell.
And there could be stuff out there that's, you know, perhaps we've had a set of nail varnishes in and I've put them up for sale.
But our beauty bank is filling up very fast.
And we've ended up being in a premises for that now.
So I need to start to get the ball rolling.
You know, we've added to the point where we've put some stuff out.
I can't put it all out because I'll have people diving on it.
Okay?
And we've already had people say, well I'll buy that off you.
I've already had people come in and say, well I'll buy the Jelly Cat.
If you just tell me where it is, I'll buy the Jelly Cat.
No!
That isn't the point.
The point is we're trying to have a bit of fun.
Anybody can buy anything.
Let's have a bit of fun and give it away for free.
Isn't it?
That's what it's all about, isn't it guys?
So yes, just be aware that some of these products, if I can tell on the live, if it's, you know, looks like somebody's used an eyeshadow or something like that, if I can tell on the live that I will say to you it looks like somebody's used this item.
Okay?
But if you receive it and I haven't mentioned it's been used, just give me a shout and we'll swap it for something else.
Okay?
