Alright guys, Wi-Fi is back on today, so thank you for dealing with us yesterday with the Wi-Fi.
So I've just had that lovely dolls I was in now, and all the bits to go with it.
Is it a Frozen one?
I don't know.
Was it a LOL?
I don't know.
I don't know.
You'll know.
The children will know.
20 on him guys.
He's lovely, isn't he?
Fair play.
Beautiful.
And then some other bits.
I haven't had a chance to go through them yet.
Still looking for a wee house.
I've been on the website this morning now and they've said a few things.
Linda Liu said, you know, me going into hospitals is a breach of infection control.
To deliver sweets and nappies and books and tea bags and...
We're not in Covid, Linda!
Finished!
Infection control on my backside.
Hospitals are one of the most dirtiest, contagious places in the world, you know that?
There's a new Linda Liu.
I don't think we drew all of our £20 in December.
So we'll add them onto Janowary now, guys.
Alright?
I don't think we did Pontypools.
Did we do it last going off?
I can't remember.
They also said that we're in debt with our rents and we're not.
Otherwise we'd be kicked out on the street, wouldn't we?
So... Oh, and this is on the website.
Oh, look at this one now on the website.
Oh, where is it now?
Look at this.
This is about me now on the website.
Oh, why is it going up in a circle?
I don't want it in a circle.
Hang on, I want you to see the full thing.
I don't want it in a circle.
Put it in a box?
Why would I put it in a square?
Oh, I won't do it.
Oh, it's up now.
It's up now.
This is on the website about me today.
To further illustrate concerns around judgment and safeguarding, this is about me away now.
This refers to a post of alcohol being referenced alongside morphine on a page presented to support vulnerable mothers.
Well, it was from 2023.
So I'm still alive.
Can I not have a night off and get shitfaced in a hot tub with a Baileys and a morphine pill that I'm prescribed?
Oh my god.
Talk about clutching at straws.
Look at Linda Liu.
Linda Liu is obsessed with us in Caerphilly telling people I'm in breach of infection control because I've been dropping goodies off to the hospitals.
I got this from saying that I'm incapacitated to support vulnerable mothers.
On a night off.
What time was that posted?
Can anybody zoom in and see what time that was actually posted?
What time of night?
Can I knock the clock off and go in my hot tub and get shitfaced in my hot tub with my Baileys and morphine?
Just to clarify, that was probably the last time I actually drank Baileys.
It was 2023.
It's probably gone off by now.
Then there was somebody else confirming that Linda Liu didn't steal a headboard.
Because she's on PIP and she wouldn't be able to steal a headboard.
It was me.
I stole a headboard.
Said Toggle.
Well Toggle, you chucked it down the alley.
You fly tipped that.
And that's on CCTV from the alley.
So we've got you doing that.
We've got you or Linda Liu fly tipping that headboard.
Oh my god.
They're obsessed with me, aren't they guys?
I'm the most stalked woman in Britain.
I don't know what we're going to do.
We've contacted a few people today now about bigger properties.
I've got a lot of smaller properties.
I've contacted my landlord.
You know, it's a testament to you guys and us, that is, guys.
And the recycling we do and the work we do.
I've had a couple of smaller shops.
One in Higher Wyrn.
Is that how you say it?
It's like Merthyr Swansea way up that big hill.
Do you know the one where it's got that crash barrier thing?
It's not a barrier, but it's like a crash lane for lorries, I think.
You know the one, don't you?
I don't know if I'm saying it right.
I know where it is.
I've seen it a long time and it started at £1,500 and he's dropped it right down.
It might be a good drop-off centre, you know.
A shop in Merthyr, the small.
But small shops doesn't mean to say the small shops are not good.
Caerphilly shop is good.
It's small.
Riskaroo is good.
It's small.
But they get full very quickly.
Another one.
There's one kicking around Griffiths Town, I think.
That might be a good one for a hub.
One of the mothers also sent me the link for it, but I'd already messaged them about it.
That might be good to do craft clubbing and all, I'm thinking.
The only thing I don't like about that, it's got an outside toilet.
I don't like outside toilets.
If we win the lottery, guys, we're going to have heated toilet seats right the way through the shops.
And where was the other one?
There was another one.
One there that came up and they offered it to us.
Oh, there's one in Newport.
It's quite nice because it's got shelves built in.
But it's only little.
He's dropped the rent by £100 a month.
That's quite a lot.
It's nearly over £1000 a year they're dropping the rent for us, you know.
But there's a better one.
There's a better one in Newport that I got my eye on for the same money.
But they want to sell a business, but I don't want the business as well as the shop.
You might just take on the bigger shop.
The one in Moorth, I got to figure out where it is.
Because there's parts of Moorth and nobody goes.
But they contacted us, you know, I think it was an estate agent said, Jayne’s Baby Banks, I was looking for shops.
Let me contact her, but you'd have to lower your rent.
And the landlord agreed when they explained what we did.
So well done, that's a testament to us.
So I'll take my shit face post off now from 2023.
I do apologize that I was drunk in a hot tub on Morphine guys.
It's disgusting.
It's disgusting.
It's despicable.
Oh, it's shocking.
My behavior is shocking guys.
I tell you now.
So I found a message off somebody called Emily that we've stopped for some reason, we've stopped corresponding with I can't remember what.
On my messages, because I keep all my messages.
And she stated that we charged baby milk and nappies.
That's where I went on there, because somebody said that somebody said you charge him from and we haven't.
So I haven't, and my volunteers have said they haven't.
So if that person can come for and the messages I've got doesn't say anything about baby milk and nappies, but I do have a funny feeling I recollect this person.
I haven't been in correspondence with this person for a while and I do recollect we had a few problems with her whining about something, but I can't remember what.
But it might not be that person.
I have asked that person, did they write the comment?
If they've got any balls, they'll say they did.
You know, but we've never charged that.
When we first started, we used to say suggested donation of a pound.
And then after about the first year of trading, we said, oh, we don't need the pound.
We're doing okay without the pound.
So we took it off.
But it was a suggested donation.
We wouldn't, we never charged.
As for baby milk, we've never charged.
I had to speak to a member of staff once because she charged a mother two pound.
Well, she said, no, you have to make at least a two pound donation for the milk in Blackwood shop.
And this was a while back.
And she described the lady to me and I don't think it was this lady.
And I went nuts on her.
And I said, you do not charge the mothers for baby milk and you do not charge them for nappies.
That is not what we do.
Yes, but she had her hair down and her nails down.
Well, might be the only thing she's got.
The fact that that mother is ordering a takeaway on a Friday night might be the only thing that she's got.
The fact that she goes into Asda's and buys herself a new jumper for a fiver might be the only thing that she's got.
Okay.
We are a food bank.
We're not a pantry.
Right.
We don't charge like these waysters.
We are a food bank.
They will not give you food bank status if you are charging for things.
And my staff knows I will go nuts if I catch them for charging for things.
If you want to put a donation in the box, you can.
Any of the donations that go in the box go to my Bailey's hot tub and morphine fund.
No, they don't.
No, they don't.
Just for disclaimer, it all goes towards buying more stuff to go on the food bank.
So if you put it in the pots in the shop.
Now with the pots in the shop, you can put money in, right, for donation, or you can pay by the smart code.
We would like you to pay by the smart code.
Oh, don't forget to download our loyalty app, guys.
I forgot today.
I want to do it and put a pound on it and see what comes up.
Because you get loyalty points now.
And I think Boots is four for every pound.
So I thought, right, let's do us five, five points.
You get five points for every pound you spend in one of our shops now with your card.
Okay.
And it'll come back as vouchers to spend in our shops.
So I don't know if I've got that on there, but you've got to download the app.
No, I didn't know that the first time.
And what I've done is run it from two thousand and twenty six to two thousand and
two thousand and twenty seven.
Right.
So I've run it for a year.
So you have to download that app on your phone.
I haven't done it myself.
Right.
Don't cost you nothing.
Then when you pay in our shop with your card or make a donation with your card, you'll get five points back for every pound.
That's good, isn't it?
I love it.
I love it.
Because we were going to do a loyalty card anyway.
And I was like, I can buy them off temu.
And I don't know, you get a hundred for about two quid and you just sign them.
So we could do that as well.
Whether every time you donate, I don't mind.
But that's brilliant now because that does it on his own.
So I'm really pleased with that.
So I'm it will come up as vouchers and like I've put it down like 250 or five pound and I'm not sure I was going to work.
And I've never seen it with any other of the sum up apps or anything.
So I don't know the other thing when we're on the topic of the sum up, when we start the rescue now, which we're already running, but when we start fundraising for the rescue and have additional shops for the rescue, what we could do is have one lot of shops and have two payment devices in each shop,
one link to the rescue, one link to the baby bank.
And we can say to you, who would you like to pay the rescue or the baby bank, or we can have separate shops.
OK, because don't forget now we'll be applying now for two streams of income and grants from those two separate shops and have two sustainable businesses, not for profit to go with those as well.
One for the rescue.
I mean, really, we need the extra shops, don't we?
But it's up to you.
It's entirely up to you.
And we can have a dual sign on the front that the money can go or we can split the money equally.
Perhaps we'll have a bit of a voting session about it and see how you want to do it.
Personally, it might be easier for people to comprehend if we have two separate shops, one for the bird rescue and small animal sanctuary and one for Jayne's Baby Bank.
Then, you know, you can say, oh, I'm going to go up the other charity shop now, I'm going to go to this shop now, I'm going to go to that one now.
You could do that.
And then we'll start an Alcoholics Anonymous group, because, you know, in the last five years of me doing this, I've had one Baileys and a hot tub and a morphine tablet.
Dreadfully irresponsible of me.
Dreadfully.
But what I would suggest any mothers out there that are struggling, get yourself a Baileys.
Get in a hot tub, get yourself a Baileys and chill out.
So, yeah, that's brilliant, any guys.
But yes, we don't charge for nappies.
We sold off a pile of nappies that we had in.
Huggies and Pampas, they were, because they were all ones.
And we weren't, at the time, we weren't donating them to the hospitals.
But now we donate them to the hospitals.
And they give them to the mothers.
Um, because, and then the money that we made, I think we made about 15 or 17, it's all written down somewhere anyway.
Made about 17 pound and then we went back and bought bigger size nappies.
But so, you know, save Sherlock going back and doing all these transcripts and all the rest of it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Um, so we went back and we bought like size two, size three, size four, um, and all the rest of it.
Because that's what people need.
People don't really need newborn because they get bored and they grow out of them so quick with the nappies.
If you've got a newborn and size one, what I would suggest is, are you lazy?
I'm just going to say, are you, are you in Germany?
Are you having a nice time?
Is it warm?
It's not warm here.
I'm freezing here.
Awful.
About one degree less.
I'm going to get back on a plane and emigrate.
Bad enough now.
It's too cold.
I can't cope with it.
Useless in the cold.
Um, I'm useless in heat.
I got to be tepid all the time.
Hot tub degrees all the time.
I got to be with my baileys.
Um, yes, so that's the only time we may have sold nappies.
But I mean, you know, we, there's no way we've said to people, you need to do this, you need to do that, you need to do that.
You know?
So, like I said, I keep all my messages, keep everything, innit?
Sometimes, like, I speak to so many different mothers, you'd be surprised in so many different areas, online, in the shops, out in public.
Anyway, you know, some people have said to me before, I've been doing a review on my Maury Sal's in Morrison's and said, Oh, I recognize that voice.
I'm like, Oh God, I'm famous.
You know, and sometimes I don't recognize who they are.
But then if I go on the messages, I'm like, Oh, Tartan Pram.
Remember Tartan Pram, lady?
Remember that lady?
Or remember so and so lady that was looking for man bottles and this and that, and a travel bag, travel cot, things like that.
It's, it reminds me, you know, so that I keep my messages.
So the only Emily that I, well, I only had three Emily's on my messages.
So I definitely haven't told anybody that.
It may be that somebody else did, for example, one of our very good customers, very good friends, very good customers from Blackwood, said to me after we got rid of Peter, and after I'd put on, we caught staff stealing and then not to pay cash, to pay card,
no matter what.
And if anybody asks them for cash, they're to tell me.
She said afterwards, he said to me, Oh, you can pay by cash.
Just, just pay by.
And I said, No, Jane doesn't want to pay by cash.
She wants people to pay by card.
So it may be that it was a member of staff that was on the make.
But unless I know, I can't do anything about it, can I?
So unless somebody comes to me and tells me, so-and-so tried charging me for nappy, so-and-so said, Can you pay by cash?
I was asking people yesterday.
I said to people you've got, I can't take any payments because I can't get the Wi-Fi to kick in on the sum up.
But you can pay online, even in front of me, when you go home, using the smart code, do a bank transfer, or you can pay in cash if you've got the right money.
And I'll write it down by you now, but I would rather you pay online.
You know, I was saying that to people yesterday.
So, you know.
But yes, I don't know who said that now.
But don't forget now, guys.
Download that app and let me know what you think.
I think we might have to run it as two separate shops and two separate.
Well, it will have to be.
The accounts will have to be two separate entities.
They will.
But we'd have to make it very, very clear, say, on the front of this shop.
Let me plug you in.
You're going to go.
I'd have to make it very clear that when you donate items to this shop, or make a donation, or come in and buy that you choose which CIC the money goes to, either the birds or this one.
But it might be nice to have separate because then we can have animals painted everywhere and do things like that, you know.
And then when we've got for example, like when a member of staff is here and they might get fed up with working for the baby bank, we can say, well, go and work with the animals in the rescue for a bit.
Rather than lose a volunteer or a member of staff because they're fed up and they want to change, we could turn around and say, well, go and work with the animals for a bit, if you want.
Go and volunteer over there.
Go and change your apprenticeship and go over there.
Or do this, do that.
One or the other in it.
So we could try that.
But let me know what you think, guys.
I've got to go now with our customer.
