Aw, morning guys.
On my way in.
Is it Friday?
I've got the blower on, sorry.
Ah, I think it's Friday.
I don't know what day it is.
I think it is.
Anyway.
On my way in.
In and in a blower today, I think.
I'm sorry about the blower on.
So is it by you?
They're putting the McDonald's in?
I hope not.
I hate passing a McDonald's.
Like, they can't really eat a McDonald's anymore, right?
But, does it make me feel sick?
But I do like a fryer.
But, you know, three pound a day for a fryer.
It's a lot.
The ice it is.
I swear I bought my own ice maker and then I just have it in the morning in my own takeaway cart.
It's because I've got bigger disorder.
If you eat odd, unusual things, it's worth looking to see what the craving is about.
Because it'll tell you what vitamin you are short on.
And if you look, Echinitis is part of an iron deficient anemia.
Isn't it?
And I've got aplastic anemia as well.
So, I think next week I'm down for a CT scan, but I can't remember what day.
I think it's next week.
But I think we should be firing on cylinders next week, so we should have the three shops open.
Now,
don't forget, Monday, Dan and Sammy, Risca and Ponypool, are going to do pay as you feel for Mothers with Children under 18.
Are you ready for Christmas?
For items under £20, etc.
There'll be some exceptions, obviously.
But I'll put them where they are.
It's probably going to be the same as the Philip Agarté.
So, yeah, so you go in and you have a chat with them and then say what I've got.
Three quid.
So, I'm going to be ordering the pads.
Well, not so much the pads.
I'm going to be ordering the sustainable stuff first.
Because obviously we're all about sustainability.
And the councils have asked us to use as many sustainable products as possible.
And I said, oh, yeah, we can do that because I can ask the mums.
I said, that's not a problem.
And they said, oh, is it?
I said, yeah, because I said I'll ask them.
I said, there's no point me ordering all medium sized washable briefs if they want extra large 16.
Some of them want the boxer shorts, some of them want the moon caps.
I said, I'll ask them what they want and I'll put in an order based on what the mums want.
And then bulk it up around that with other stuff, you know.
I mean, extra large and large and plus sizes, I think, is what we're going to need.
More than anything.
I've seen a few of these knickers in the food banks, hanging up on the site, but they never seem to go, do they?
Yeah, let's proactively do it.
So then they doubled, they doubled the grant.
And I said, oh, that's brilliant.
I said, because I've already got a lot of sanitary items, because Povell always give us sanitary items.
Because they have a massive grant.
They always say, oh, we've got tons now.
Once we fill the cupboards, once they fill the cupboards and they've got nowhere else to put them, they give us the excess or they give us the old stock.
So we get tons of sanitary wear anyway.
I mean, I haven't, I can't remember the last time we opened the boxes that were given to us, which are in storage, ready to put on the racks.
But we've always gotten guys and we always just leave baskets in the toilet area as well.
We always do that.
There's nothing worse than having to go up to a counter in Asda or somewhere and say, oh, you know, I'm on my Patricia Davis, Westwood Day or whatever they ask you to say, whatever silly name they've asked you to say.
And they go, who?
And you're like, you know, for the period.
And you're like, oh, OK, what do you want?
And they give you two.
Is it?
Yeah, especially if you've got endometriosis or I don't know, anyone who hasn't got a heavy flow anymore.
I think it's all to do with environmental factors.
So, you know, yeah, we always try for.
That's I used to when before they diagnosed me with a tumour on my life, right?
I was wearing tampons, pads.
I was wearing the massive incontinence pads.
I was buying them on Facebook.
And I was wearing them, you know, like the nappy ones, wearing them.
I had to cover my seat in them.
And the GP was still telling me I was OK.
And he forced me to exasperate.
And obviously increased the surface area.
I think they knew that.
That's why they rushed me in with a triple blood transfusion.
And I had infusions and things like that.
I should be ordering those this week.
