Oh, I don't know what's going on.
My live keeps going off, guys.
Keeps going off.
Right.
Anyway, um...
Right.
We've changed the date for the baby shower.
Okay?
It's still going to be in Caerphilly town area.
And it's going to be on the Sunday.
It's still going to be the same time.
We're still going to have Pokemon stuff there.
It's only going to be one table full of cards with the Pokemons.
And we're going to do three for a tenner on the 350 cards.
You know.
We're going to have free raffle.
They will probably only be baby clothes.
I don't know what's going on today with the Wi-Fi.
I don't usually have this troubling Caerphilly.
Yeah, so I think I've probably got about three or four piles of older children's clothes.
And I'm just going to take them with me as well.
So they'll be free as well.
Okay?
If you want to pay a donation, you can, but you don't have to.
There will be other stuff there to buy.
This is us giving back to the community.
We're overflowing with clothes.
I can't move for clothes.
You know that.
We might even do a mum event.
I'm thinking as well one day.
Where you come and you just bring stuff and do a swap.
That would be cool, wouldn't it?
This venue has been very good to us.
So we might use this venue again.
I don't know what's going on.
The Wi-Fi is right next to me today.
I don't know what's going on.
Unless there's something to do with them taking down the market.
I don't know.
Would you think it would be better now?
Because there's less buildings there.
So, yes.
It's on the 1st.
There will be older children clothes there.
It will be a good carrier bag for free because we've got tons.
You're welcome from all areas.
If you're a dickhead and you've been blocked or banned, don't turn up.
Because you'll be dealt with on the day.
Because, to be honest, we've had enough of you now.
Simple as.
We have reported it to...
I don't know.
I've moved the box now.
Perhaps if I turn the heater off, perhaps the heater...
I don't know.
Is it getting hot?
What?
No, it's not even hot.
I don't know what's going on here.
I don't know.
Older Wi-Fi there, is there?
Give up now.
Give up with the Wi-Fi.
Right.
So, yeah.
I've got quite a few older clothes there.
So I'd probably take them as well.
I don't know what size is.
It'll be whatever is there on the day.
We've had such a week with the haters, guys.
It's been a bad week for the haters.
They've made themselves look bad, haven't they?
Fair play.
Canceling our baby shower.
And then that's Lunatic showing up yesterday.
I mean, somebody said on the feed, is she drunk?
Well, my mum said the same thing when she seen the video on well done for Daniel for dealing with it.
As well as he did, to be honest.
Because I don't know if I could have dealt with it that well.
What about you guys?
I don't know.
Anyway, he dealt with it really professionally and he did us proud by dealing with it that way.
Police are away.
Bron Avron is away because she's one of their tenants.
And there's issues with the kids, her children or whatever children that were with her were there.
So, you know, there are issues with this individual.
And a lot of you said, is she drunk?
Is she on something?
So, yeah, we've...
We've had to report it to council in a way because this is the one that was giving out the milk.
Remember we said about the milk that got chucked out?
And like the haters, I noticed the haters had put on...
I noticed the haters and I know who put this on, right?
I know that this was Tara Holloway from Community Volunteers Wales, right?
Coronavirus Wales or whatever they were called before, right?
The ones who've had 15 to 16, 20 different names.
She's put on a video and I know it's her because she sent this to the council about three years ago of somebody dragging like a dead body or something through the bloody woods, right?
In the dark, pitch black, that looks like it's been doctored, this video, and stating it's me doing something.
I can't even make out what's going on on it.
But I noticed another picture that they put up was of a bin, right?
We had a bin full of baby milk that had to go out because of the...
I don't know if you see coli or whatever bacteria is in it.
And there was other stuff that was going out in their broken glasses frames, shoes, stuff like that.
And it was rubbish and they put that up and said that we put it outside for free.
It wasn't outside for free.
It was our bin.
And they'd taken a picture of our bin, basically, which the council are fully aware of anyway because they asked us, what's this picture?
They said, you had this lot out the front.
I said, no, we didn't.
It was rubbish.
So yes, anyway, I think it's been a bad week for the haters.
They look really... They've got no credibility now after this week, have they?
What they should have done was let us run the baby shower.
And if we'd have fallen flat on our face, we'd have fallen flat on our face.
And they'd have gone, look, that was a complete flop.
She even did that and it was a complete flop.
But no, they had to get involved and they had to cancel it.
It looks bad on the venue, I think, as well, because they let the cancellation go ahead and now they can't restore it.
But we've got another venue and from now on, they'll have to be pop-up venues.
And to be honest, I 101% knew that they were going to cancel it.
I knew it, right?
101% knew they were going to cancel the venue.
And there was just a... didn't see wincy smidge that they wouldn't and just let us get on with it, right?
And I knew they would cancel it and I knew they would do it and I knew we'd have the proof because they're stupid enough to post their own proof.
And that girl yesterday posted her own video.
Has she not got a full-length mirror in the house?
Does she not play her videos back on Watch Yourself?
I mean, I don't play mine back.
Does she not watch her videos and see what her behaviour is like?
Can she not read the comments of what people think of her?
You know, the general public think of her like.
But that's what they should have done, was just let us fall flat on our face and then they could have said, well, that was a complete flop, she didn't know what she was doing.
But they didn't.
So they've made themselves look really, really bad and I think they just look like they've got no credibility now whatsoever with the stuff that they're saying.
It's undermined any of the work that they've done over two years and I think it just shows that they have been targeting us for two years on purpose.
You know, deliberately trying to target us.
So, you know, it's ridiculous, isn't it, guys?
They need to grow up, move on and do their own thing.
With a trademark registered CIC.
Yeah, get over it.
Any of the funds that comes in through the door, any of the equipment, any of the stock that comes in through the door is all recorded, all recorded when it goes out.
That's why we write things in books and things like that, which is more than other CICs do.
And it's all accountable.
Yeah, we are answerable now to the CIC commission.
Yeah.
So there is no way that I could steal £10 a day and then justify why I've stolen £10 tomorrow.
Because I would, you know, they'd be like, well, you can't take the £10.
It belongs to the CIC.
Yeah, so there we are, guys.
So yeah, we're on Sunday now.
I think it's going to be more relaxed to do it on a Sunday.
Anyway, why I booked a Saturday?
Because most people do like their food shopping and stuff on a Saturday, don't they?
You know?
So, Saturday morning, don't they?
You try and get out, get it done or whatever.
Do whatever you've got to do on a Saturday morning and then get in.
I don't know if there's a rugby on or anything.
Is that going to conflict?
I don't know.
Sometimes you don't see somebody all day and then we're like, well, where is everybody?
And then we realise it's the rugby and we're like, oh, unless we had a widescreen.
We'd be better off bringing clothes in when the rugby's on.
But there we are.
We'll see what happens.
But yeah, the clothes and all will be free.
There's free parking, free raffle, free tea and coffee, refreshments.
We'll have pop there for the kids.
I think the venue is bigger than what we need because we only needed a room, really.
Whatever, we'll just go over there now.
Bear with us.
It's our first one.
Bear with us because we haven't done one before and we don't know how it's going to go.
Do we, guys, come over and show your support, especially for the other volunteers, because they've gone through it this week.
You know, Dan's had to deal with that idiot of an E this week.
We've had to deal with the fallout of it being cancelled.
My mother spent all day on the phone yesterday getting venues, getting people to ring back.
You know, she's in her 70s.
You know, it's upsetting for her.
And all the rest of it.
And they were looking forward to it.
And then to have it cancelled, and they hadn't been in the miners for years, so they were looking forward to it.
So, you know, it looks bad on the haters and it looks bad on the venue and it just makes us look like the victim again, doesn't it?
And we just carry on as normal.
You know, I'll lay back and all myself and the guys will just do it.
I'm quite looking forward to it.
I'm hoping not to bring anything back other than the Pokémon cards we don't sell.
So I'm hoping the equipment and all that we've got for sale, things like bouncers and stuff, we'll do it cheap, get it gone.
Because we've got millions, you know, we've got millions of bouncers and stuff.
We're just trying to raise enough money to cover the whole fee and the teas and coffees basically that we've bought, you know, to bring along.
Raffle was all donated, so that doesn't cost us anything other than sellotape to hold it all together.
We may have bought a raffle book at some point.
You know, that was probably £2.
Something like that, wouldn't it?
So we're literally, I think the expenses will come to about £50 to do the old thing.
So we're just looking to cover or make it back to do the next one, isn't it?
And the next one will have to be a surprise pop-up now because they just can't contain themselves, can they?
But yes, we're just going ahead as normal and it'll never ever be cancelled, guys.
Because worst-case scenario, I'll do it on the side of a levy.
You know me, I couldn't care less, guys.
I'd go down the welfare grounds and set up a load of tables down there.
I couldn't care less, right?
I'd put tables outside Caerphilly Castle.
What's Cadw going to say?
What's Cadw going to say on the day?
We can't put your tables by there.
I couldn't care less, guys.
I would literally just put my tables up down by there, down by the swans and say, right, come on, all free, let's go.
You know me.
We've always got the shops to run it in.
We've always got the donation centre.
We've always got...
It wouldn't take nothing.
It would take us an hour, right, to clear Caerphilly shop to make a big space.
And it would take an hour to clear Risca shop floor, right, of all the cabinets and the rails that we got in the middle, just to go push it back and say, right, here's the baby shower, let's go.
It would take longer to put back because we've got to put it back tidier.
But we'd probably say, oh, lock up the shop.
We'll do that next summer, right?
Give us something to do on the Monday.
Right, honestly, we never ever, you know, I could hold it in my house.
The only problem with my house is you'd have cats everywhere.
I could host it in my mother's house.
Her house is nice and clean and tidy.
And she hasn't got cats running around.
We've always got somewhere to host this baby shower.
So no matter what they do, they're not going to win, are they, guys?
Right, and you know me.
I would set up my tables by the castle.
I'd go down the welfare.
I couldn't care less, right?
Do you think Cadw would move me if I went outside that castle?
No.
Do you think anybody would move me?
No.
Exactly.
You know, what are they going to say?
You can't have a baby shower here again?
Well, I ain't going to have a baby shower here again because I'm going to go to a vine next month.
Or I'm going to go to a Roger's store next month.
Or I'm going to go to, you know, bargain the month after.
You know.
They're not going to stop us doing what we're doing.
I've got a massive driveway, guys.
An absolute massive driveway.
Right?
You could land a plane on it.
I could do it on the driveway if we had the weather.
I couldn't care less.
You know me, guys.
I would take over the side of the street.
Right?
We just thought it would be nice to have a venue where you could sit down around the tables of the clothes, have a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Have a laugh and a joke and get to know other mothers from a different area as well.
Because it's really difficult to meet other parents, isn't it?
So if we've got mothers that's popped up from Risca, they can meet the Caerphilly Mothers.
If we've got mothers from Pontypool, they can meet them.
If we've got mothers that come up from Pontypreed, they can meet them.
Church Village.
You get to know people, don't you?
You know, because we see our customers and they go round all our shops.
But they will be...
And don't forget, we'll also have the Pokemon stuff there as well.
Because it's so little to carry, I might as well as take it with me.
We might get some Pokemon people in, and that's fine.
Pokemon people are welcome.
Pokemon people have babies as well.
You know.
On the haters group, they say what do you want all those men there for?
I don't know what they think we're doing.
I don't know what they think our baby shower is.
Because they would have been like, well she's giving out Prosecco and they're pregnant.
Well, being pregnant has never stopped anybody drinking a Prosecco.
That's for sure, is it?
It's not advisable, but it's never stopped anybody.
And if anybody wins it, I'm quite sure we can swap it out for something non-alcoholic.
And I'm quite sure that you'd put it aside until you've had your baby.
You know, and it might be that you've already had your baby, and your baby is six months old and you've turned up for free baby clothes.
And...
You're like, I'm having my Prosecco now!
Forget the tea and coffee, Jane!
We should have done that, shouldn't we?
We should have had Prosecco, I didn't think of that.
I think we'd probably need a license for that, though, I don't know.
I'd have to check.
I'd have to check, because a lot of people doing these paint and sips, and I'm pretty sure we've got to have a license.
But the license was like, something like 250 quid, I think.
Something like that.
It was quite expensive.
I mean, I don't know whether... I thought it was 250 quid per event.
I've got to be honest.
But I don't know if it is now.
Maybe I read it wrong, because when I asked one of the painters, Matt, that we know, does the Valley Art Projects with walls by Paul, and he's doing a paint and sip event, he said, no, no, he's just bought the ones.
I just had to pay for the one license.
So I don't know anyway, so I give the license and people a shout, because we could always do Prosecco night, Prosecco and baby clothes night, or something, couldn't we?
I don't mind.
My gums are nearly healed.
I did have to chop off a minging bit of my gum that looked a bit disgusting.
I thought, oh great, this is going to be bad now, because I'm going to infect my gum, but it worked by cutting it off.
So...
So the police are aware of what happened yesterday and what she's been doing previously.
Council are aware, because she is giving out this baby milk and it's dangerous.
Bron Avron's aware, and obviously the council have probably referred it now over to social services because she shouted, did you hear her shout at the cry talk?
She said, boy!
Like that, to Daniel.
But Daniel said, no.
He said, she was checked at the cafe, because Mohamed was like, no, no, no, no, shut the door, because Mohamed won't have them in if they're horrible.
Fair play to him.
Well, nobody will.
None of the shops will.
They won't have her in where she's behaving like that, I can tell you why now.
Fair play to the shopkeepers over there.
They stick together.
And we stick together everywhere we go, you know.
Shops.
We wouldn't let somebody behave like that in anybody's shop.
But she was shouting that at her own child yesterday.
And there's other videos as well in there.
Where she snatches the phone off her kid.
That's an awful video, that, isn't it?
God, we've unearthed some right rotters through all of this.
I mean, our baby bank journey.
You wouldn't think we're just running a baby bank.
Like somebody said, on the haters group, how can one baby bank have so much drama?
Because these drama queens won't disappear and get on with their own lives.
You know, it's absolutely ridiculous.
You know, I don't know about that video in the woodland, in the dark.
What is all of that about?
Anyway, I try not to go on there.
Dan went on there last night for something.
Because, oh, I wanted to show Dan on the hater group.
Because this is what I've said to the volunteers.
Don't go on there, because they're never going to say, oh, sorry, we've got the wrong person.
Oh, sorry, we've got the wrong end of the stick.
We're very sorry for everything we've done.
They're never going to say that, because that's it.
They're so immature, they're never going to get over it and, you know, forget it, are they?
So, you're never going to go on there and read something positive.
Well, anyway, we did a bit yesterday, because I said, if you read the fake admin on the group, they've written that basically they disowned her, I think, and said she was nothing to do with their particular hate.
Even the old haters disowned her yesterday.
Which I thought was good.
But I said to Daniel, don't read the rest of it, because it's depressing and they're just twisting it.
They're twisting everything.
So, you know, let them do it, let them revel in their own disruption over there.
We just carry on as normal over here, helping people and doing what we do.
They don't like it, because they know how much stuff we're going to be giving out for free.
I've got, it's got to be six to ten massive bags that Sammy had sorted out.
Of baby clothes.
I'm munching, sorry guys.
I've probably got four green bags there now.
Of older children's clothes that's overflowing around the other side, you know.
Before I even get to the baby baskets that we're looking to give away for free.
We're going to say a good sized carrier bag.
Bring a bag if you've got one, because we're really low on bags, guys.
A good carrier bag full of baby clothes.
Because you're only bringing back when you finish them.
And depending on how many we can, because obviously there's been a bit of disruption with this one.
And it's our first one, you know.
And it's a Sunday and perhaps some people don't want them.
Perhaps they're doing something else on St. David's Day, I don't know.
Then we might be able to do more than a bag full.
But we've got tons, guys, right.
We've got rooms full of clothes.
We can easily give these out for free.
It's not a problem.
So yeah, yeah.
And there'll be tea and coffee there.
Biscuits.
Pop for the kids, probably.
Might have squash there, I don't know if we've got squash, I can't remember.
They might have jugs there, so I could probably make up squash and then you can just go and help yourself.
Keep an eye on the kids.
Kids not in the kitchen area, please.
Might have a gate or something across it, or door, anyway.
And I don't know if there'll be much there to play with.
Because it's literally going to be set up like a bit like a jumble sale type, stall type thing.
You know.
But they can come in.
And, you know.
Come in and run around.
We don't care.
You know.
Somebody's pulled out a load of track for there now.
When they come in earlier, I've got to pick it back up.
I wouldn't be doing that with Thomas Track in another charity shop.
They'd be screaming their head off.
I haven't got tons and tons for sale because I don't really want to be carting it round.
And we're only there for two hours.
And we'll see how two hours go.
I think two hours will be enough.
Don't want to be sat there all day ourselves, do we?
And then it'll finish around one.
Then we get about a half hour, I think, to pack up.
Make sure it's clean and tidy.
And
then it's around, one o'clock is around dinner time, isn't it?
So everybody are going for dinner then.
So I think it's a good time to do it, really.
If you want to volunteer and help, turn up at 10.
Sorry guys, I'm still eating sweets.
Turn up at 10.
And we'll let you know, we'll have to let you know on the day, guys, alright?
Because I can't release it early at all to anybody.
So we'll probably release it around 10, so you'll know where it is.
But it is in Caerphilly town area.
So as long as you, you know, if you're travelling, like I'm thinking about people who are travelling, like Caerphilly town area is not the end of the world, is it?
If you live in Caerphilly, or if you live in Bedworth, or if you live in True Thomas, or if you live in St. Kenny, it's not the end of the world, because you can get you within like 20 minutes, can't you?
But I will keep you updated on the day, but I don't know if I've got Wi-Fi.
That's the only problem.
So we might have to be cash only.
Might take a card machine to see if we can get Dan.
We got Dan.
Because we do it on a Sunday, we got Dan now, because of course otherwise he'd have been running a shop.
But we got Dan, so we can see if he can figure out the card machine, but don't bank on it.
Because I don't know where this one, okay?
Erm...
Yeah, so there we are.
There we are guys.
What's the time now about?
Doing lots of work over this today, but it's nearly down now, the market.
It's crazy, I can't say we're opposite the old market, no more, it's gone.
It's gone, it'd be awful now when they build it back up, because the sun that comes through is lovely.
I'm not sure if that car is still parked there as well, we're going to have to get rid of that car guys, we've given plenty of notice for this car now.
It's got a sign on it, the police have been informed, they don't know who the owner is, so we're going to have to go at some point guys, this car, we will get it sorted.
We've just been a bit busy this week with my teeth coming out.
A woman contact?
A woman contact?
She was on our Facebook, right, and she commented on my thing.
Well what have you done recently?
Now bearing in mind I've had my teeth out this week, I'm dealing with this baby shower, I'm dealing with them cancelling the baby shower and all the abuse, and Daniel dealing with the abuse of this idiot, right?
And we've taken bucks over the thing.
I've given out period pads all week to people, right?
I've got mothers coming in all week for the silver period bags, right?
I've given one out now.
I had one year for you, Kel, but I've given it to a little girl who's coming, but I'll have another one year by you tomorrow.
Because it was a little girl I thought, well I'll give it to her, but I will have yours by you tomorrow, Kelly.
Let me write you on my hand now so I don't forget.
Kelly.
I know where you are but I give it to the little girl because I thought she might not come back tomorrow.
So we've been doing that all week, dealing with the haters, dealing with the stuff, and I think I shared a memory of when one of my friends that used to live in the flat above us in Pontypool, brought in a bag of food because they were moving out and they brought in a load of food.
So I shared that memory, you know, and I said on it, thank you for the donation of food and of me.
You know, from someone, to us, to give out to other people, because they also gave us a pile of freezer stuff because their freezer was a bit going on the blink, so the volunteers had the freezer stuff because we can't give out freezer stuff.
She was like, yeah, but what have you done recently?
And I'm like, we've given out nappies, we've done out five pound bags, we've done this, we've done that, we've put up with all this abuse, we've given out books over the hospital.
Bearing in mind I'd had two teeth out this week as well, mine, and was really, you know, it was rough.
I was ill prior to having the teeth out because the teeth were making me ill.
Then I had to have two teeth out, and she was like, well what have you actually done this week?
What have you done recently?
I'm like, I don't care, what have you done recently?
What have you done to help people recently?
We've done loads to help people.
We do loads every day, it's just we don't, you know, photograph it all and put it on line because like I wouldn't photograph that little girl that's just come in to ask for help.
I wouldn't photograph a mother that's come in to ask for help.
You know, sometimes if we've got time you say, well can we video your bag or take a picture of what's in your bag just so that we can say this is what's gone out for free.
But I don't do it all the time and put their pictures on.
We are regulated, we're regulated by the financial conduct authority, we're regulated by trading standards, we're regulated by Covine and Coffinny Council, we're regulated by the CIC people.
You know, when we started we were out doing it, but we're not winging it anymore, we're doing it exactly as everybody else is now.
Right?
You know, so we're not winging it any longer.
And we wouldn't be here six years if we weren't doing anything.
If we were lying here and stealing all the money.
They crack me up honestly, like, crack me up they do.
So yes, Dan's waiting on the police for a statement now.
They were a bit busy yesterday and obviously because she went it de-escalated so it wasn't a priority, which is fair enough.
I think they're going to speak to all about her behaviour because it's just getting worse and worse and worse in it guys.
Yeah, so there we are.
I got my pasta for my dinner.
Not fast, I've gone off this a bit now, but it's alright for work.
It's a bit boring.
Oh, I had tomato and mascarpone.
Yes, this is tomato and garlic.
Perhaps this one's a bit nicer.
It's a bit boring now, but it'll do for dinner.
I've had my sweets for today, so...
Oh, jumping to action now.
I'm sure I will.
I've got to bag up the clothes too early.
What day is it?
Thursday.
Because I've still got two days where somebody might come in and do fill a bag for five or so.
What I might do is bag them but leave the bags open.
Could do that, couldn't I?
And then I've got them then, just to grab on Saturday when I finish.
Or put them by the door on Sunday morning and I can just grab them Sunday morning then, can't I, on the way through.
It's not far from here.
So if I say it's not far from the shop, you've got a rough idea where it is then.
I mean, no.
But yeah, come along guys.
It's always good for the volunteers as well.
I'm a bit like Teflon, it bounces off me.
A bit like that thing.
But the other volunteers, they work hard.
And then to have a boot thrown at them like they did yesterday was no need.
And Daniel had people in the shop he had children in the shop with their parents.
He obviously didn't, well he wouldn't have let her in anyway, I don't think.
But he was like mindful of the fact that he had small children in the shop and she was behaving like that outside.
So he stood there, because sometimes you can put people off just by standing there with your body language, can't you?
So he stood there to stop it.
But she lied all the way through, didn't she?
All the way through that video.
She's such a liar.
But I don't even think she knows she's lying.
Me and my mom when she said Where's your number?
And Dan went There's the number.
Lay on the window is the number.
She couldn't see it in big black.
Perhaps she didn't realise we had a number, I don't know.
But in big bold black writing the numbers on the window.
And she's like There's the number everybody.
Like that's going to be detrimental.
The CIC are going to say you can't be calling people loony bins.
And I'm like well look at her, she's a loony bin.
What do you think the CIC are going to say about her when she's behaving like that?
They're going to protect us, they're not going to protect her.
That's why I'd rather be a CIC than not a charity.
Because the charity commission would have protected her more than they would have stood up for us.
Whereas being a CIC, the CIC will turn around and say oh no, she's dreadful at doing the right thing.
So I'm glad we've chosen to be a CIC and not a charity yet.
So she had made me laugh, she was like Where's the number?
And Dan went There's the number.
Fair play with him, he's dealt with it really well.
He's dealt with some right idiots.
But they're all connected, they're all friends.
You can see they're all friends because they're all in one big group now.
Can't you?
You can see them all in the group bouncing off each other.
That's the worst thing they could have done, was make that group up.
Because you can see them interacting with each other now and how awful they are.
And I was the same people all the time behind their fake profiles.
You can really see it can't you guys?
You know?
But yeah I tell the volunteers don't go on there.
The other thing is we don't we tell the volunteers not to name themselves and not, I mean if they want to come forward and say they're a volunteer they can.
A lot of a couple of our volunteers have.
But we also say to them don't put your name and we won't tag you.
Because we don't want you to get any abuse.
So we have other volunteers you'll see that come in who work sort of anonymously and we don't, we say thank you to all our volunteers.
But we don't encourage them to put anything on the Facebook and we don't tag them while this is going on.
But we do appreciate them very very much.
And that's like sometimes we just say take two bags of stuff for free from the clothes, take this, take that, yours is £20.
That's why we do that.
We do that allowance.
I mean the allowance we're now going to start doing at £13 an hour guys.
It's not cash as in store allowance.
Oh I've got a customer coming.
I've got a customer coming.
I think we're going to go one minute guys.
Alright?
