During one of GGs shifts at the Emporium, till staff were apologetic to customers that they had no bags left.

Cue Team GG to the rescue!

Plenty of bags have been donated to the store and the box is now bursting again!!

Rowans staff will continue to try and ask people to reuse bags or bring their own but sometimes you just forget!

Rowans Hospice shop the Emporium are always glad to receive donations.

We looked through cupboards and wardrobes and were able to cobble together items that can be sold.

Sasha had a list of jobs 📋 that needed doing this morning.

In true GG fashion we knocked them out of the park 🏏

Non fiction books were price checked and priced 💲

Clothes were rebagged into the correct colour coordination 🎨

Jigsaws were priced and the stock on the shopfloor rotated 🧩 Dave M even found one to purchase for him and Jen to compete after the Make task

Toys were cleaned and made ready for sale 🪀

And 4 bags of donated clothes were put on hangers with the correct size cube added 👕

Team GG were set up with some boxes if books that had been donated. Sorting the fiction from non and alphabetising the authors.

A large number of GCSE and A level science books were in the collection. Hope the person that dropped them off had got high marks!

We then were let loose on the tagging guns, adding price tags to the new clothes that had come in from the warehouse.

I went along to the Rowans Hospice charity shop to lend a hand.

It was Mens clothing changeover day. So we took off items that have been out for over a month with no takers. We then put those into green bags ready to go back to the warehouse.

Ranjitha and I spent a couple of hours quality checking and pricing 2 crates of donated CDs.

A lot of nostalgia was had with artists such as Joss Stone, Westlife and Right Said Fred were checked and priced.

We also tried to work out the last time we had owned a CD player! Today has certainly made me think about getting one.
