Are we on? We're on. We're live. Right. So as you - 15 Feb 2026 - (1,514 words) - Jaynes Baby Bank
Are we on?
We're on.
We're live.
Right.
So as you can see, Daniel has had 900 bags of donations and they've now been uplifted to donation centre one.
Okay.
Donation centre two and three are pending.
Okay.
Pending.
Landlords.
Put a suitable price on them.
It smells musty in here, I think.
But again, it's the weather.
There's nothing we can do.
I mean, look.
Look.
The shop was built in 1828.
Do you know what I mean?
They've got tunnels under the ground blooming, stuff going on everywhere, joining attics and all the rest of it.
You know, there's nothing we can do about the shop because of the age of the shop, it's grade two listed now.
But we had a good price on the rent.
And that's why they give us a good price on the rent.
Right.
So somebody else said, one of the idiots on the hater chat about us said, I can't just knock through to another shop.
We didn't knock through to another shop.
If you look at the menu, it's a door.
Yeah.
And doors are interconnecting all the way through Pontypool.
So all we did was unlock the door and Daniel pretended to boot it through.
No.
Anyway, so there's nothing illegal about doing that.
Opening the door.
Dickheads.
I was hoping to move all of the boutique.
That's all designer and boutique clothes there, guys.
Is there anybody that wants to pick this up and open the shop and I'll be off and sell all the designer and boutique clothes for us because we are stuck now.
So you're hoping to shift this pile at least today.
I was hoping that would go, but I can't see that.
And did you move that thing back for me?
Yeah.
Oh, somebody's dropped off an era.
Thank you for that.
We always need an era over here.
Yeah.
Don't layer them up like this because they won't dry.
Right.
OK.
Well, you've got an era, but they use the era.
So obviously we're still quite full, even though we sold quite a lot.
I'm like, well, what are you selling?
You're a Crack cocaine because you don't look like you're selling anything else.
So where's my regular customers at?
Because I'm going to give you all a 10 pound voucher to come to Pontypool and spend 10 pounds this week to clear it out so I can have a good look at what's going on here.
So 10 pound for nothing, just for being a good customer.
OK, so if you all come over.
Got to be a regular, but don't just turn up and say, oh, I'm over here looking for drills and jelly cats and 10 pound voucher.
And we've never seen it before.
The ones that supported us from the start.
Come over.
You've got a 10 pound voucher to spend.
It's got to be in this shop because we need to make some headway in this shop.
Because I don't think I'm ever going to see the other side of the building again.
Not this year if we don't do something.
But do you see, Dan, what I mean about if we shut this up as a warehouse and got another shop, it would get musty in you.
I don't think we can do it.
Have you had the door open?
Janet, where are you?
So the door's been open, so you've had a circulation of A.
Yeah, I don't know, that one's shut.
Yeah, yeah, they should be.
Yeah, yeah, because nobody can get in there.
Don't open that one because there's a big vine.
And if you've got like a rat or something, it'll come out the thing.
Oh, yeah, there's one over the stairs.
And yeah, keep that because you need that circulation of A.
Yeah, that's propped open as well in there to keep it circulating.
But I don't think we could ever shut this up to be a warehouse because I think it would just go mouldy and everything.
And that's what happened with the British Art Foundation.
See, when they were here, everything started to go mouldy.
I mean, when we came in here, it was all running down the walls, wasn't it?
So we've done well to get it to this point, I think.
But obviously we need to either keep this one running as a shop and circulating.
Or we need to, well, I don't want to get rid of this shop.
I like this one.
I like Pontypool.
Plus we've got the other shop.
So we've spoke to landlords, P2 landlords this week about P3, because P2 landlords own P3.
A lot of our landlords own different, own other buildings, you see.
And, you know, we might expand to P3.
This week, I can't remember what we said, but if we expand to P3, we're just going to fill up P3, ain't we?
So we need a warehouse quick.
Need a warehouse quick and we need racking.
Well, we don't necessarily need racking straight away, so we're OK with that, but we need a warehouse quick.
So if you've got a big weird house, I'd rather a new one because of historian stuff, see.
We don't have any trouble with the one that we've got upon a frive.
Because it's new look.
I don't really want an old one that's already got damaged roof and stuff like that.
I'd rather pay the extra now and have a new one.
A new build, you know, newish.
Yeah, so regular customers, put your hands up.
Say something in the comments because you've all got a £10 voucher to come over here and spend £10 this week.
How does that sound?
Volunteers, our previous volunteers that we've had that some have gone now and to do uni, some are having babies, some have had bereavements, we're really sorry.
If you can come in, you can have £20, OK?
Because you looked after us when you were available.
We don't need him, do we?
We don't need nothing, that's the thing.
And I love this.
I can't believe this is still here.
Look at it.
I'm not going to leave that there.
So yeah, regular customers, give us a shout.
Now, we might have regular customers that's not on Facebook.
So, like Maria, she's a regular, yeah.
But she's not on Facebook, is she?
So when she comes in, Dan, you need to say to her, you've got £10 to spend off my mam.
And the baby bank for being a good customer.
Don't let him go without spending the £10.
Because we need to make some room.
Lovely jammers in that.
Fluffs.
So yeah, come on over.
And what we'll do is, it'll be items that are £5 or under.
Just let it go.
If it's £10, let it go, is it?
Yeah.
But we might, what we might have to do is put a restriction on it.
15cm by 15cm as items.
Because we need the volume of stock on.
I've got SMA Alfamino that's been checked.
Because Alfand Safety went through it with you, didn't they, the milk?
Yeah, so they've gone through all that.
So that should be okay.
But just double check it anyway.
Because there's a massive recall on milk.
There is a list on the Facebook.
I'll send it to your messenger as well.
So yeah, I think that's what we'll do this week.
All our regular customers, spread the word!
Spread the word.
Jayne's feeling generous.
And you've got £10 to spend in the shop.
Because the thing is, when you finish it, when you finish with it, you only bring it back to us.
You know, once you've worn the dress, a couple of times you bring it back to us, we resell it.
If you don't bring it back to us and resell it, you give it to somebody else who needs it.
Because we know what our followers are like.
So it's not like anything's going to end up being landfill.
And we've still got quite a bit of the Christmas, which will go...
So it'll be 50% off, plus you've got a £10 voucher.
If you go over, you just pay the difference.
So if you pick up £12 worth of stuff, you just pay the £2.
How does that sound?
Don't forget, download our app, guys, because you're going to get points on your...
Oh, gosh, knee went down.
I didn't knee give out.
You get points that convert to vouchers like Tescos and boots, and you can come in and spend £5.
And I've done it five pence for every pound you spend, so they'll add up quickly.
Yes, so we'll do that.
I'm going to have these glasses.
Because my mum only has thick glasses and I like a nice thin glass.
I like the thin, thin glasses I do.
They tend to break a lot because they're so thin.
We've got a lot of novels over here, so we could do some novels for the hospital, but it's having the time now.
Volunteers, if you've been a volunteer for us...
We're on.
We're live.
Right.
So as you can see, Daniel has had 900 bags of donations and they've now been uplifted to donation centre one.
Okay.
Donation centre two and three are pending.
Okay.
