Anyway, I haven't done much on this side.
A lot of this is going to the baby shower to be given out for free.
And you can see the gaps on that thing now, can't you?
We've sorted... oh, these old pink tables.
I wonder where they were.
I was going to try and get... you can see now it's starting to get a little bit more wider in here.
Especially here, look.
I have got a lot, still got a lot out.
But, you know, we can walk around here and I want to spin.
No, if I can spin, we're OK.
We've got the beads out.
Oh, forgot that broke.
Got the beads out.
Got the ink cartridges that are full.
And we've got the ink cartridge box down there, which is not really where I want it, but that's where it's going to have to go.
And then...
Then a little bit in the window.
I've missed that bit, have I?
And a little bit there.
And I haven't cleaned the front of the window yet.
I wanted to complete these in the window, but I haven't got around to that.
I've moved a few things.
But I'll find a place for these now.
One of them is not priced.
How do these things get out when they're not priced?
I don't know.
A few bits to hang up.
And then what I've done is just pulled all the teddies back for now.
Put them over there and then I'll dot round the ones that will go.
I know that will go quick.
You know, like we've got Boo or we've got Sully.
And I know if I pop him in the window, somebody will come in and say, can I buy it?
But I've forgotten this bit, look.
Because Dan pulled those down to put his lights up and then...
We didn't get around to doing it.
I can't message anybody, guys.
I've seen a few people sending me messages.
I can't message anybody.
I don't know what's happened.
I have to go home and put my DID in and expect.
So, it happens sometimes.
It happened a few times, so...
It happened with my first account and I never got it back.
I could never get my first account back, which is a bummer.
Because you could have seen all the work we did, you know, three years ago.
You know.
But I think this account has only been open for three years.
We've had lots of people in today, but I have had a couple of resellers.
Well, that's fine.
You can scan it.
It's not a problem.
You can scan it.
Oh, I've got a couple of these sent in over disks here.
Or patches, they are.
Not like the disks.
That's not a problem if you want to come in and scan stuff and check the prices, but you're paying the full price.
Not the 50% off, because that's for our families and mothers, yeah?
Because it's a business.
Yeah, or if you're buying it for your own shop or your own store, you're paying the full price, yeah?
I think that's fair.
So it's this side now.
Might leave that side until tomorrow.
What do you think?
Got a busy couple of days on me.
I'll have a sip of you now.
Maybe I'll have my apple.
And then... have a think.
Think what I'm going to do next.
Some nice new stuff in.
And then just rotated some of the old stuff, really.
That's all we've done.
That lady was quite funny when she came in.
She ended up buying four bucks, so that was nice.
Had a couple of new customers today.
Didn't realize we were card only.
And then...
Only two that wouldn't pay.
One that's a regular and comes in here every week and says the same thing.
Well, I pay by cash.
You never pay by cash.
Because you've been in here every week since I've been moaning about it.
Right?
So you haven't paid by cash.
You've always paid by card.
And I've told you, you're not having it unless you're paying by card.
Why do they do it every week?
I don't know.
I think some people just like the concentration.
I just blanked it at one point.
Because I was busy anyway, looking for something.
So I thought, oh, I'm just going over there.
We're getting into a concentration where you're getting about, you know, do we take cash or card?
Here we are.
Peace out tonight.
More evidence.
What's all that?
I think
these are the buildings that were raided out there.
He was on the phone earlier going...
So I don't think something was going right today.
I've heard them doing something, but I don't know what they're doing today.
I haven't really seen it.
Must be behind the board today.
He's been on the phone all day going...
So I don't know.
She's busy.
I pulled my lady.
I told her that.
I don't know.
We've got to find the...
the raffle tickets.
And don't forget to download our loyalty points scheme, guys.
You're missing out now on vouchers to spend in the shop.
If we say to you, you've got a £5 voucher, a £20 voucher, we wouldn't say it unless we can do it.
Honestly.
Honestly, guys.
We like doing it.
We like giving you stuff for free.
Honestly, we really do.
So yeah.
I forgot to tell Dawn about her baby shower.
I told her this morning.
I totally forgot about Dawn.
I'm looking forward to it now.
I've got some nice packaging bags in there.
I'll see if I can make something up.
I was thinking maybe a couple of bottles and some nappies and maybe some of them clubs and put them in a bag.
But I only got pink.
I didn't get blue.
I couldn't do that.
I couldn't either.
It might be nice.
I've got a couple of bottles kicking around I think.
But I'll grab nappies.
New born.
I won't get an old pack of new born in.
But I'll get like about five or six.
I like doing the faffy bits.
I never get a chance to do it because I'm always even stock around the place and dragging boxes everywhere and stuff like that.
I don't get a chance to do all the nice fancy stuff.
When I started this I thought I'd be in the house ironing baby clothes.
Moving pallets of stock.
Never mind.
We weren't supposed to get this big.
I hate those made us famous, didn't I guys?
Love you idiots.
They pay four pounds a day because they put two.
Two lots of two pound they put up.
Two pound.
Paying you two pound until you go fund me.
Or you're just giving page.
But you're a bitch and I don't like you.
I can't do two quid to say that.
Idiots, isn't they?
Oh my god.
I'm dealing with some proper idiots.
I do attract them and I gotta...
I must give off like a pheromone.
Do you think I give off like a pheromone and attract these people?
I had one this morning.
I had a mother this morning, right?
My age.
Looked like a sensible mother this morning.
Putting laugh in emojis.
Look at all of my statuses.
Do you know how much of a knob you look like when you put in a laugh and emoji on somebody's status as monetized?
They've got like 80,000 followers.
And it's monetized and got 2.1 million views I think we're on now guys.
Do you know how pathetic that looks?
I do.
I'm a bit naughty.
Especially if it's a fella.
I think sometimes these narky women.
Because it's mainly narky women.
I find.
Middle-aged narky women.
I find.
Sometimes their fellas will say something.
Or they won't say anything because they're too afraid.
Or they don't want to get involved.
They're like, oh no I don't want to get involved in this.
Right?
So they just put like a laugh and emoji on something.
So I then go into their account.
And I put a laugh and emoji on all of my pictures.
And they're like, oh shit.
No, now what am I going to do?
Sometimes that's the way to deal with a minute guys.
Beat them at their own game sometimes.
Don't get mad.
Get even in it.
And then they kick off.
And their wives kick off.
They go, I put a laugh and emoji on my husband's profile photo.
Because he's a dick.
I don't know.
Stay out of it.
Mind your own business.
Don't have to support us two guys.
Go and support somebody else.
And I will 100% support your decision to do that.
You don't have to support us.
But you also don't have to slag us off.
But I think it's good now that the police are now starting to charge them with community resolution orders and putting them on bail and stuff.
I think that's good.
But they should have been doing that like six years ago.
But like, my dad said maybe it's because you've got the CIC number now.
Perhaps it's bringing you a bit more clout for them to actually charge you.
For them to actually charge you.
Because you've now got more credibility now.
You've got the number.
You didn't need to have a number to be a baby bank or a food bank.
And we only did it because we needed funding.
And we need funding for staff.
So, but my dad said perhaps it's that.
But then I come in in January.
I won up to it in January.
I'd had enough over Christmas.
And we had the longest time.
We had about four weeks off over Christmas altogether.
It was the longest time ever we've had off.
And we were going over the donation centre and doing three or four hours stints.
And that's not us.
You know us.
We're like 20 hour days.
Right?
Literally.
The holiday weren't long enough for us to relax.
Right?
We were just not with it.
And I think perhaps maybe even I ate before in January.
And was like, wait that's it.
I've had a tit full of it.
Like I won saying that we damaged somebody's car.
And we weren't even here.
We were in Porth.
We were in RCT.
We weren't even in the county.
You know?
And anyway, I think she's had a warning.
But I think the police should have stepped in a bit sooner.
And they would have squashed all of this, wouldn't they?
You know?
But I think it's quite funny now they're starting to charge them.
Because they all thought they were going to get away with it.
Didn't they?
And they didn't just lag us off.
They went for it, didn't they?
In January.
Give them enough rope.
They hang themselves here in the end of the day, guys.
Don't they?
I've had a few people in today.
For a Monday.
I've had a few people in.
But the shop next door to me is shut.
And the shop down by there is shut.
And then the other little cafe is shut.
And I'm like, oh no, that's three.
And they have been open all week.
And I'm like, that's three shops.
On my street that are not opening.
And I'm like, oh no, are they going?
One of them has said they might be this one.
I've been here all week and we think they've gone.
And I know the other one isn't doing too well.
It's awful, guys.
I mean, I don't think anybody is doing really well right now.
But it's just trying to ride the storm.
Ride the storm and come out the other side of it at the moment, I think.
That's what everybody needs to do.
It's no good.
But we've had a few customers in, but all small sales.
They have a big sale.
They're all small sales.
That's OK.
The way it goes sometimes, isn't it?
And one little old man on a scooter who didn't have a card, so I took £2.
I've written it in the book.
£2 cash.
I don't like doing it.
But
he didn't know.
But he knows for next time now.
He wanted a bag to go on the back of his scooter.
And it was only £1 and he said it would be £2.
Nice of him.
But yeah, we've had quite a few people in today.
I'm moving out because I've got a customer in the window.
But I didn't do as much with the windows I wanted.
I wanted to change the...
Well, I was going to put the crystals and all in there.
But I sold six crystals this morning.
So I think they're better off.
But they actually were more accessible.
You know.
And if I know you guys, behind the crystal box is little bags.
Little like...
Fever bags.
And like, you know, the ones you have at weddings in the back of there.
So put your crystals in.
So...
Yeah, I'll be going around four.
But Dan shuts it up at three on a Monday now, guys.
Alright?
I don't know what Pontypool's been like.
But some days it's been dead.
Dead as a door post over there, gotta be honest.
And it's never been like that.
It's always been quite busy.
So we'll see what it's like now when the spring hits.
Because it's not very nice weather to be out in.
I gotta be honest.
We'll see what it's like now when the spring hits.
Keeping my eye out for weird houses.
There's loads coming up.
But the rents are ridiculous.
I gotta come down, guys.
But also the business rates as well.
They gotta come down.
You know, it's bad enough with the utilities.
Right, I'm off now.
